1
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: My message might be forced to play nice with other

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: messaging apps. Instagram brings back an old school feature zoom

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: lets you show up to your meetings as a dog.

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on. I'm Richardimiro

Speaker 1: and this is rich on Tech, the podcast where I

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: talk about the tech stuff I think you should know about.

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: It's also the place where I answer the questions you

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: send me. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five

00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Thanks so much for joining me on

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: the podcast today. Welcome to my friends on the live

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: stream on Instagram. The IGTV are It's not even called

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: IGTV anymore. That was only for like a minute where

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: they called it that. But the Instagram video Instagram live video.

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: It's become a little tradition with the podcast. I kind

15
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: of like it. It brings a little energy to the show.

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Makes me feel like I'm talking to an audience. I

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: feel like I'm doing like stand up in front of

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: a crowd. Now it's kidding, oh man, so fun fun times.

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: It's my wife's birthday this week, so I am throwing

20
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: her a little party, which is exciting. You know, my

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: wife didn't really want to party, but she's like, you

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: know what, She's like, you know, why, why why are

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: you doing this? And I said, well why not? You know,

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: why not? It's she doesn't like surprises. So anyway, well

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: now I just gave up the surprise. I forget that

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: sometimes I yeah that this is actually going out to people.

27
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just feel like I'm talking to myself, you know,

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: when you're doing a podcast. But it does happen. But anyway,

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: after two years of you know, this whole COVID thing,

30
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, I want any excuse to get

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: together with people because we can again, right, And it's

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: just so weird because in La, it was we had

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: such high restrictions around all this and then all of

34
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: a sudden they were all lifted like overnight, and you know,

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: depending on where you live, it was kind of different.

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, and Greg, my wife does not listen

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: to my podcast. I don't think she might have listened

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: once and I was very like, what you listened to

39
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: my podcast? But anyway, so in LA, they just kind

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: of lifted everything all once, and it's just been so weird,

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: like going back into stores and you know, without a

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: mask and like all this stuff. So it's fun it's good.

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you still have to be careful in

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: certain aspects, but it's all been fun. So I am,

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what this whole intro was, just just

46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: totally who knows. All right, let me talk about the Volvo.

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: I think I talked about it last week, but I

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: did a test drive the Volvo see forty recharge and

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: I got to say, I had so many questions. We

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: aired it on KTLA today and so many questions. As

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm walking out of the building, like literally, people were

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: just asking me left and right like about this car.

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: So I think that they really hit a nerve with

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: this car because it looks like a regular suv and

55
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: it drives like an electric car. So it's really fast,

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: it's really cool. Price tags a little high fifty nine grand,

57
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: but it does it is eligible for all of those rebates,

58
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: all the incentives and stuff, and I get it. Here's

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: the thing. I know, I'm talking about electric cars a

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: lot lately. The high gas price is like I'm not

61
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: telling you to buy an electric car, you know what

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, I'm not saying you have to do it,

63
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: because here's the thing. If your car is working for you,

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's probably cheaper to stay in your car.

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: That's the reality of it. It's probably just cheaper to

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: stay in whatever gas car you have. So buying an

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: electric car is not going to solve a problem of

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: high gas prices because you have to buy that car

69
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: and it's really expensive to buy the new car. So

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: but I will say, keep an eye on these electric cars.

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: They are definitely coming up in the world. And there's

72
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: more than just Tesla. I mean, Tesla's great, but there's

73
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: definitely a lot more options. And Mario obviously watched this

74
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: segment today because he said no leather seats perfect for

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: true vegans, which is true. Oh yeah, the new Volvo

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: doesn't even have a leather option. It's like it's half

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: of the car, not half, but a lot of the

78
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: car inside is made from recycled water bottles. So it's

79
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: pretty wild to see just the the advancement of all

80
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: this stuff. And this is why I love technology because literally,

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: even something simple as an app can transform a phone

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: that you've had forever, like your iPhone. You get a

83
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: different app that's cool and different and unique, and it

84
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: like totally makes your phone something new and useful. And

85
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: so this is why I love this stuff, because it

86
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: just really is changing very very rapidly, and it's fun

87
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: to be kind of watching it all happen and also

88
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: comparing that stuff. All right, let's talk about the first

89
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: story of the week. I just think this is really interesting.

90
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: The EU has has made some new anti competitive laws.

91
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: For see, they're clamping down on anti competitive things. Not

92
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: they didn't, I guess the laws are anti anti competitive.

93
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: So this is really interesting for the big tech companies

94
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: out there. And I think the main thing that I

95
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: take out of this is that, you know, Europe has

96
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: really been very forward, very progressive when it comes to

97
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: their tech rules. They have rules like when you get

98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: a phone, like you know, it can't just default to

99
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: like one browser app. It has to say like do

100
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: you want to use this browser? Do you want to

101
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: use that browser? Do you want to use that browser.

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: They're the reason why we have all those really annoying

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: cookie pop ups, which, by the way, I'm for a

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: lot of these privacy laws and things, but when it

105
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: comes to those cookie pop ups, they are so useless,

106
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: they are so worthless, and like, give me a break.

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Has anyone actually sat and said, like, oh, let me

108
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: opt out of some of these cookie things like no,

109
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: you just click yes and you just go to the website.

110
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: So that was kind of like a nonsense thing. But

111
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: the part of these new rules that the EU is

112
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: enacting is the fact that all the messenger apps have

113
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: to work together. And that means that I Message, which

114
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: has enjoyed a very nice run as a it's kind

115
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: of the big bully in the world of messaging, they

116
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: will no longer be able to just work with itself.

117
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: And now you can argue, Rich, oh, I message works

118
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: with with SMS. Now it does, but it doesn't. I mean,

119
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: it makes SMS like it begrudgingly works with regular text messages.

120
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: I mean number one, they show up green, which is

121
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: not very nice. And then of course you know that

122
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: you don't get any of the niceties of I message,

123
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: which are you know, the ability to share full resolution

124
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: or larger resolution videos and pictures and things like that,

125
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: and so and like Ryan said, I message is just

126
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: a bully in the US, that's true. Outside the US,

127
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: nobody cares. Nobody cares about I Message. Outside the United States,

128
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: it's it's either WhatsApp, it's Facebook Messenger. It is over

129
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: in like Asia, they use some we chat is big

130
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: over there line so again, but the interesting part about

131
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: this is that because Apple's going to be forced to

132
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: make this interoperable with things like Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp,

133
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: it kind of levels the playing field a little bit.

134
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: And I think that Apple will have to make those

135
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: same changes in the US. We'll see, maybe they'll just

136
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: keep it in Europe and they'll just kind of make

137
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: a secondary version of my message that works over there

138
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: with the other messaging apps, but that would be kind

139
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 1: of weird. So anyway, I thought that was a pretty

140
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: big deal. This is kind of a landmark thing. It's

141
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna it's not gonna happen overnight, so the group chats

142
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: is going to be a period of four years that

143
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: they have to do this. I don't have in this

144
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: article from Politico when the when the uh I when

145
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: the messaging stuff happens for just regular messages. But anyway,

146
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: I thought that was a pretty big deal, and it

147
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: just has wide ranging implications. And because think about it,

148
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: in the US, we have those cookie you know, those

149
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: cookie whatever pop up banners on every website. That's not

150
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: a requirement in the US, it's requirement in Europe. And

151
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: but the websites just put him on the US stuff

152
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: as well, So I hope I explained that. Well, all right,

153
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: let's get to the first question from Richard Lopez. Richard says,

154
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: good morning rich Really it is still morning. I know

155
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: if you listen to this show a lot. There's a

156
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: joke that everyone that emails me says good morning rich

157
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: because they see me on the morning news and they go, oh,

158
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: I got to email that guy, and then they email

159
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: me and say good morning rich Is this email real

160
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: and from Facebook or is it a phishing attempt? My

161
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: initial feeling is that it's a scam. Thanks for all

162
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: your work at keeping us up to date and working

163
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: to keep us safe online, Richard. So, Richard sent a

164
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: screenshot that says your account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect.

165
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: Turn on Facebook Protect by April first. After that you'll

166
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: be locked out of your account until you enable it.

167
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: This actually is real, and it's funny because I got

168
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: this on my account and I was like, wait, what

169
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: is this? How am I being scammed? Like? What's the scam? Here?

170
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: This Facebook Protect and it said, because you have a

171
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: page that reaches a lot of people, we want to

172
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: make sure that your account is secure. And I'm like, ah,

173
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: that's kind of weird, like where's the log in stealing

174
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: situation here? And after a little research, I realized that

175
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: it is real. And my wife actually got the same

176
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: message because she's an admin on my page, and she's like,

177
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: what is this? This a scam? And then I got

178
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of emails from other people and the number

179
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: one thing every person that's gotten this they either have

180
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: a large number of followers on their Facebook page or

181
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: they are an admin on a Facebook page that has

182
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: a large number of followers. I don't know what the

183
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: delineation delineation is for the large amount of followers. Could

184
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: be ten thousand, could be five thousand, could be a thousand,

185
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. But if you have, if you somehow

186
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: manage a Facebook page with a bunch of followers, they

187
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: will ask you to turn on Facebook Protect. All I

188
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: had to do is click a link. There was nothing

189
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I didn't I thought I was gonna have to do

190
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: like a secondary authentication or like submit my driver's license

191
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: or something. I did not have to do any of that.

192
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: I just had to say, all right, turn it on,

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: and they did so. I think what this does is

194
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: when you go to log into your account. It's just

195
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher to log in, or like a

196
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: little bit more scrutinized than a standard login, like when

197
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: Facebook sees it you log in. Let's say you log

198
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: in from Los Angeles all the time, but then all

199
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden they see that you log in from

200
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: Tokyo and they're like, hmm, that's weird, but they still

201
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: let it go through because you put in your right password.

202
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Well maybe, and I'm just kind of imagining here with

203
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: Facebook Protect, they might scrutinize that log in just a

204
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: little bit more and say, we notice that you're joining

205
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: from like a city you don't typically join us from,

206
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: So can you verify you know, your phone number or

207
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: this code that we sent to you. So that's Facebook

208
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Protect Richard, Yes, it is legitimate, and oh it says

209
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: hackers are often motivated to attack accounts that have a

210
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: lot of followers, run important pages, or hold some community significance.

211
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: So again, hackers want to get the best of people

212
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: that have like a large audience, a large following, or

213
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: are very prominent, and so you just have to be

214
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: careful and no matter who you are. And I talked about

215
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: this on the radio this week. But you know, they

216
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: talked about how Russia is looking to do cyber attacks

217
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: against the US. But realistically, you have to protect yourself.

218
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Let me just go over some of the tips that

219
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: I talked about there, because it's just it's so wild. Yeah,

220
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean, number one, set up two factor authentication. I've

221
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: talked about this a million bazillion times, but you know,

222
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: no one wants to do it because it's so much

223
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: work to get that little code. But you have to

224
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: do it. A lot of these accounts they're actually requiring

225
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: it now. All right, So two factor authentication. Back up

226
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: your files, like, make sure you have a backup. This

227
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: is the thing. I'm like a doctor. I see all

228
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: the problems, right, Like you go to the doctor. You've

229
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: got this one weird like rash or something. You're all

230
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: embarrassed to tell your doctor about it. They've seen that

231
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: a thousand times. They've seen not just that, but everything

232
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: you could imagine in your brain. They don't care. They

233
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: don't care. I mean maybe they laugh at their friends.

234
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know when they get home, but I don't

235
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: think they do. So, yeah, it might be embarrassing for

236
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: us to talk about something to our doctor. But they

237
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: have it all up here and they're like, yeah, I've

238
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: seen that. Okay, yeah take this, You're done. Same thing

239
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: with all this tech stuff. Like you hear about it,

240
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: it may not happen to you. I get emails every

241
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: single day from people that are hacked, hacked, hacked, hacked,

242
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: don't back up their stuff, have their pictures lost, have

243
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: their kids first, you know, baby picture lost. I mean,

244
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: it's it's really wild what happens. And sometimes I don't

245
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I hate to say this, but sometimes I

246
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: don't feel bad because I said. You know, I've said

247
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: so many times the importance of backing things up and

248
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: at the very basic, you know, at the very least,

249
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: you need to back up your important files, and you

250
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: need to back up your pictures. If the rest of

251
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: your stuff on your computer is lost, like whatever, but

252
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: your pictures you've got to have those backed up and

253
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: your files. If you don't have your files backed up,

254
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: then it's you know, if something happens or your Facebook page.

255
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: People always come to me and they say, my Facebook

256
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: page is hacked. I don't know what to do. My Instagram.

257
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: They're starting to text my friends. I've told you, you

258
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: just have to you have to do two factor authentication. Now,

259
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: I did get an email from someone who had two

260
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: factor authentication. They had things backed up, but this person

261
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: was targeted in a whole different way. This is called

262
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: a SIM attack, where they actually steal your SIM card

263
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: information and they install your phone number on a different

264
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: phone and that enables them, the hackers, to get those

265
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: two factor authentication codes. So that's a next level kind

266
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: of thing, and it's really no fault of your own.

267
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean, well, there is something you could do there too,

268
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: and that is you have to call your wireless carrier

269
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: and ask them to lock your account. And so what

270
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: they do is they lock your account so that nobody

271
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: can swap your SIM so they can't actually take your

272
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: phone number. It's a whole look this stuff. It's like

273
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: it's happening on a daily basis. It's happening everywhere, and

274
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: it's just wild because it's happening more and more because

275
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: a lot of these systems that the hackers use can

276
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: just be automated, or they can just you know, they

277
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: can target so many people at the same time. And

278
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: doctor J says, back up on a hard drive or

279
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: is a cloud enough? That's a great question. Doctor J.

280
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: The cloud is the bare minimum, but you should have

281
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: it on the cloud and an external hard drive just

282
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: for absolute security. I'll be honest. I don't do that

283
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: with every file, and I know I need to. So

284
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: you are putting yourself at risk if it's only in

285
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: the cloud. Yeah, is Google or Apple or all these

286
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: things going to go down? Probably not, but you never know.

287
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: We saw Apple go down this week. Apple had all

288
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: almost every one of its online services went intermittent for

289
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: a while, and that was a major problem. I Message

290
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: was down, Apple Music was down, iCloud was down, Apple

291
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: Fitness was down. All of these services that people rely

292
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: on just weren't working. Now Apple got it back up again,

293
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: it worked fine, but then it went down again the

294
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: next day. And so they had this kind of like

295
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: stumble for this week of like three D eight where

296
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: things were just kind of like up in the air

297
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: of what's going on? And could you imagine if they

298
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: came back from something and it didn't work properly and

299
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: you did lose a couple files. And Rosie Rose Rosaliah,

300
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: can you recommend a good hard drive? I would just

301
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: say anything from Cgate or Western Digital. Really the main

302
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: hard drive brands are going to be just fine. All right,

303
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about Instagram. They're bringing back two features, or

304
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: actually one feature that is pretty interesting, and then they're

305
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: adding another feature. But there is a lot of catches

306
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: to the Instagram's changes this week. And I'm here on Instagram.

307
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: Let's see if they just censor me and cut me

308
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: off because they don't like what I'm saying. But so

309
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: Instagram is launching a new chronological feed and a new

310
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: favorites feed. So chronological feed is pretty much, if you

311
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: want to think of this a different way, it is

312
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: old school Instagram. And so back in the day when

313
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: you first joined Instagram, if you can remember back this long,

314
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: you followed people. When those people posted something, you would

315
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: go to your list of stuff your feed, and you

316
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: would just look through those pictures in the order that

317
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: they were posted. And then Instagram got a little smarter

318
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: over the years and they said, huh, we think we

319
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: can make people like pictures and interact with them more

320
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: if they actually were in an algorithmic feed. And so

321
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: then they changed everything to an algorithm where it picks

322
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: pictures that it thinks you'll interact with more, put them

323
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: higher up at the list. And this works for the

324
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: most part, but people got very angry and it just

325
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: really wasn't. It wasn't there was no going back. Well,

326
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: now we hear this whole thing about Instagram sending people

327
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: down these spirals of like, you know, self loathing and

328
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: all this stuff because they just see the same things

329
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: over and over. Like let's say you look at, you know,

330
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: one skinny person on Instagram. Next thing you know, it

331
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: just starts showing you a whole bunch of skinny people

332
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: and you have, you know, some sort of body dysmorphia

333
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: whatever the term is, where you feel like you want

334
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: to be that skinny and next thing you know, it's

335
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: just reinforcing this feeling of like you're not good enough

336
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: and you got and it just sends you down the spiral.

337
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: And so that can definitely happen. I've seen it with

338
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: with TikTok especially it's or Instagram as well. When you

339
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: start looking at things on Instagram, it starts showing you

340
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: more and more of the same exact thing over and over.

341
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: Let me give you a little hint, by the way,

342
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: when you're on Instagram, if you're sick of seeing some

343
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you see on there, like if

344
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: you looked at something one time and it just keeps

345
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: showing you that. You can go to your Explore page

346
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: and you can press and hold on a picture and

347
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: it will say a little option to say not interested.

348
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: And if you're on Android, you slide your finger down

349
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: to the three little dots and it will say not interested.

350
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: So iPhone it's a little bit more straightforward. You press

351
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: and hold and it will say not interested, and you

352
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: tap that and it will really affect your feet. I mean,

353
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: it really will affect what you see on there. So

354
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: definitely tweak these things. Same thing with TikTok if you

355
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: are seeing stuff that you don't like. If you looked

356
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: at one one Trader Joe's Healthy recipe like I did,

357
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: and now every third video is a Trader Joe's Healthy Recipe,

358
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: same thing. I believe. You can press a hold in

359
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: that video till it gives you a not interested option

360
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: and use it. Use it to kind of train these

361
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: algorithms to stop showing you stuff that you don't necessarily

362
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: care about anyway. So now Facebook has this new chronological

363
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: feed which is kind of old school Facebook or sorry,

364
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: old school Instagram, and to access it, you just tap

365
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: Instagram in the upper you know the logo when you

366
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: log into Instagram. If you tap the logo, you'll get

367
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: two new options. It says following and favorites Following. Think

368
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: of that as old school Instagram. It shows you your friends,

369
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: the people that they've you you have followed. It shows

370
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: them their posts in the order they posted them. So

371
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: it just reverse chronological, I guess. Just scroll scroll scrolls,

372
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: and then your favorites. You can pick up to fifty

373
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: people that you want to be your favorites and it

374
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: will show you only those pictures and that's it, only

375
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: the picture that they posted. So two new options really

376
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: does help you sort through your Instagram feed a little

377
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: bit more. Now, on the flip side of all of this,

378
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: the downside is that number one, you cannot set either

379
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: of these options as it a false. You can't say,

380
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: every time I open Instagram, I just want to see

381
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: my favorites, or every time I open Instagram, I just

382
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: want to see posts from the people I'm following in

383
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: the order they posted them. Can't do it. So again,

384
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: Instagram is doing a little flex here where they're giving

385
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: you an option, but they're not really making it an

386
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: easy option. So you have to choose one of those

387
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: feeds every single time you open up the app on

388
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: the flip side. Your main feed inside Instagram now is

389
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: going to get a lot more cluttered with people and

390
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: posts from people that you do not follow, And so

391
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: you will notice when you're scrolling through Instagram. You've probably

392
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: already noticed this that a lot of the posts are saying,

393
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, suggested because you follow this person, or suggested

394
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: because you like this, And it's just the reality of

395
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: Instagram trying to expand because people might be exposed to

396
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: a post that then they'll follow that person. This is

397
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: good for creators, but it's definitely, you know, for the

398
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: average person. It's probably good in a way, but only

399
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: to a certain extent because you do see a lot

400
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: of stuff that you're like, wait, what's the deal, what's

401
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: the deal with seeing all this stuff that's not mine? Okay,

402
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: So that's Instagram two new features. Definitely check it out.

403
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: If you want to try the new feeds, just go

404
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: up to Instagram on the homepage, tap the logo and

405
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: or the name I guess and it will show you

406
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: the following and the favorites feed and have fun with it.

407
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the next question. Oh wow,

408
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: this is a perfect perfect segue. Justin says, Hey, do

409
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: you know if users will be able to see if

410
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: you've added them to your favorites on Instagram? Appreciate all

411
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: the great tips, Justin. Wow, I didn't prepare the questions

412
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: in advance this time. Usually I do, but right now

413
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm just scrolling through all the emails that i get

414
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: from people. But that's a great question. So on Instagram,

415
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: if you add someone to your favorites on your stories,

416
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: they don't get notified, but they can tell that they're

417
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: a favorite because that story has like a little green

418
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: star on it, and so they can know like, oh,

419
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm on the inside here, like this story is only

420
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: shared with me on your favorites for the regular feed.

421
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: As far as I know, people are not notified that

422
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: they are in that feed. So let me go to

423
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: my favorites, and when I go to add someone, posts

424
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: from your favorites are shown higher in your feed. We

425
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 1: don't send notifications when you edit your favorites, so it

426
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: gives me a couple of people to confirm my favorites

427
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: that I can add, but it doesn't tell them that

428
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: I've added them to my favorites, nor does it tell

429
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: them when I've taken them away from my favorites. That'd

430
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: be Can you imagine all the problems that would cause

431
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: with people, Like there's so much drama with Instagram in general,

432
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: like you know you, I mean, it's it's just so like,

433
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: it's so interesting how Instagram has become such a big

434
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: force in our lives with everything. I mean, it's really

435
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: to me, it's fascinating that people know you from Instagram

436
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: and so yeah, it's just anyway, all right, me too,

437
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: says is there any way to erase photos off of

438
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: my phone? But not out of Apple iCloud? Oh, that's

439
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: a great question from Instagram here in the Instagram chat.

440
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. There is no way to do that.

441
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: But what you can do because people don't realize that

442
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: that Google sorry, iCloud photos and the photos on your

443
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: iPhone are are very much linked up. And so if

444
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: you want to do that, okay, there's a there's a

445
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: setting your your computer, your phone will actually do this

446
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: for you, so you don't have to do it, all right,

447
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: So what you want to do, I'm trying to get

448
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: the actual instructions right now. So what you want to

449
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: do is go into your iCloud settings and you can

450
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: go into iCloud and there's a setting called optimize photos,

451
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: and once you go into that, it will let it

452
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: will your phone will manage the space on your phone,

453
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: so you actually don't need to go through and delete

454
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: pictures unless you want to permanently delete them. But here's

455
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: how you do it. Okay, So if you want to

456
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: just have your phone manage its own storage, go to settings,

457
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: tap your name, then go to iCloud and then photos

458
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: turn on iCloud Photos, which will probably already be on,

459
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: and then there's an option underneath this says optimize iPhone storage.

460
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: So once you do that, your phone will decide if

461
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: it needs to optimize the storage. You don't have to

462
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: do it now. If you want to delete your pictures,

463
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: yeah you can still do that. Just delete the picture,

464
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: but it will go out of your phone and it

465
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: will be removed from iCloud, so you will no longer

466
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: have a copy of that picture at all. It does

467
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: go to your recently deleted but that's a whole nother story.

468
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: But as long as you have enough space in iCloud,

469
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: you can still just store as many photos as you want,

470
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: It will not necessarily take up all the storage on

471
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: your phone. iCloud will manage this. So here's how this works.

472
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: When you look at when you scroll through your photo

473
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: camera roll on your iPhone, what you're seeing sometimes are

474
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: tiny thumbnails of those pictures that are stored in the cloud,

475
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: and so it's just downloading a tiny little version of

476
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: that to your phone. Then when you tap it or

477
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: you want to share it, it will go, oh, we

478
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: need this photo from the cloud, and it will quickly

479
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: retrieve that photo from the cloud for you. So it's

480
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: very seamless. It happens kind of in the background, but

481
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: on the flip side, your phone will say, Okay, Rich

482
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: is running low on storage. Let's delete some of these pictures,

483
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: these full resolution pictures off his phone, but we'll keep

484
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: them in iCloud. Now, if you use Google Photos, it's

485
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: very very similar. It's just a little bit easier to

486
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: understand because it's an actual app that you install on

487
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: your phone, and all the photos in there are a

488
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: version in the cloud that they just when you want

489
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: to share one or look at them or do anything

490
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: with them, they will download those pictures in real time.

491
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Zoom Zoom has some new avatars,

492
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: these animal avatar, so you can show up to your

493
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: next meeting as a rabbit, a fox, a dog, or

494
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different animals. They kind of look

495
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: like memojis if you're familiar with those on the iPhone.

496
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: This is in the Zoom five point one zero update.

497
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: I was playing with this. It's cool. I think it's great.

498
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: It's for those times when you don't necessarily want to

499
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: show up at your meeting in full as we would

500
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: say on TV hair and makeup. You just want to

501
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: kind of roll out of bed and attend the meeting.

502
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: But you might say, rich, why not just leave my

503
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: camera off? Well, you've been on Zoom with people without

504
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: their cameras on, and it's kind of unnerving, right because

505
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: you're just like, are you there? Are you listening? Are

506
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: you doing something else? Like what's going on here? Like?

507
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: Why am I on camera? And you're not. So I

508
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: think that this animal situation these avatars is like a

509
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: good middle ground because the animals will mimic your movements,

510
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: so you can move left, right, you can blink your eyes.

511
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: I tested all this stuff, and you can smile, you

512
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: can frown, and the animal will show on the avatar

513
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: kind of what you're doing, and so your expressions are there.

514
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: And that's a huge part of kind of this online

515
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: video chat world is that you know you want to

516
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: show your expressions because when you talk face to face,

517
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: people understand you based on your expressions. Like if I'm like, hey,

518
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: what's going on, you know immediately I'm happy. If I'm like, oh, hey,

519
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: what's what's happening, you know that something's wrong, and you

520
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: would you would push and say what's what's wrong? Or Hey,

521
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: what's what's good? So if you want to try these

522
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: just you can try them next to the video start

523
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: stop button. So once you're in a zoom call, press

524
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: that little up arrow next to the video kind of

525
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: like where you choose your camera, and it will give

526
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: you an option to choose video filter and you check

527
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: the check that it will bring up this little menu

528
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: and you can use those those animals in your meeting.

529
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: Question from the comments, Jojo says, will the animals work

530
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: on teams? No, not that they This is just a

531
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: zoom feature right now. There is a third party program

532
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: you can get that works inside other things, but honestly,

533
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: it's I don't typically recommend these programs because a lot

534
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: of people don't know how to turn them off. And

535
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: even with this zoom animal and avatar, I would test

536
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: this out before you actually try to use it in

537
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: a meeting, just to make sure you're comfortable with it,

538
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: just to make sure you know how to turn it

539
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: off too. The other thing it does not do. It

540
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: does not show your hands, So if you're trying to

541
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: like raise your hand or like wave or clap or

542
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: anything like that, it does not show your hands. It

543
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: only shows your face moving back and forth and your expressions.

544
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: But it's still I think it's pretty cool and it's

545
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: really cute. It's just kind of fun, and it does

546
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: bring your meeting to life. I don't know if I

547
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: had a meeting yesterday, like a tech briefing with a company,

548
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: and I wanted to use this, but I didn't know

549
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: if it was appropriate. So you have to figure out

550
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: when it's appropriate to actually use the animal avatar for

551
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: your face. All right, let's go to the next question.

552
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: Uh okay, John says, Hey, Rich, I love your work

553
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: and your spot's on KTLA. My question for you, my

554
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: old laptop kind of died. My lovely Wifey was going

555
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: to trade it in for a credit on something else Apple,

556
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: but she waited so long it won't even start up,

557
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: so they can't figure out what it might be worth.

558
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: They gave us two options, turn it in to be

559
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: recycled free of charge, or pay fifty bucks to see

560
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: what it could be worth. But if it's not worth anything,

561
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: we don't get the fifty dollars towards a purchase. So

562
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: that's a gamble. Do you know someplace I could take it,

563
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 1: plug it in and recycle it or give it or

564
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: they'll give you fifty bucks for it. Or can I

565
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: reboot it and take it to Apple and trade it in.

566
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: If it's worth one hundred dollars, I'll charge you forty

567
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: and it'll be ready tomorrow. Something other than paying for nothing. Okay,

568
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: So basically words of advice, thanks John. Okay. Basically John

569
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: is saying he's got a laptop at home to troubleshoot

570
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: the laptop, just to get it working to see if

571
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: it's worth anything. It's going to cost him fifty dollars,

572
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: but that's a gamble because he could be out that

573
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: fifty bucks if they say no, this isn't worth anything. Now.

574
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: He did not say what year this laptop was. But

575
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: if the laptop is not turning on, a couple things.

576
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: Number one, if it's been sitting for a really long time,

577
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: sometimes these gadgets take a while to turn on again.

578
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: You also might not be using the right chord to

579
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: turn it on, like if you're using a slower cable

580
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: one that didn't come with it, like if it's USBC,

581
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: that could take a really long time to charge. It

582
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: could also be that the battery shot, so you might

583
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: want to just try leaving it plugged in for a

584
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: while to see if you can get it to turn on.

585
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: If you can't, there are places that you can do it.

586
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: I did a story on gizmo Go and if you

587
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: go to a gizmo gizmogo dot com, you can pop

588
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: in your laptop and they will give you money even

589
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: if it's not working. So let's just put in a Apple.

590
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: Let's just put a MacBook Air in there. Okay, MacBook Air.

591
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: Let's see. Let's do a really old one. Okay, so

592
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: even a twenty thirteen MacBook Air, two gigs of memory.

593
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: Let's do the lowest processor. Let's do damage does a

594
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: power on? Let's say no and see what happens. Does

595
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: the screen light up? Know? Is the Apple ID signed out? Oh?

596
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: Two bucks? Okay, So that's just basically a pure recycling move.

597
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: You know. Here's the thing. I don't know if I

598
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: would not pay the fifty dollars to gamble, because you're

599
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: probably gonna be out at fifty dollars, I might just

600
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: give this to Apple to to recycle free of charge,

601
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: but I would go I would do some research on eBay.

602
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: You can also you can also pop the number into eBay,

603
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: the laptop like model number into eBay and see because

604
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people will buy this for parts they

605
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: may need. The screen could be worth three hundred bucks alone.

606
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: So I would definitely check eBay and see if you

607
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: can get money for it through there. Just selling it.

608
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: You could say sell as is four parts not turning on.

609
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: You know, you can buy it and someone there's a

610
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: lot of these people that are very smart. They know

611
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: how to turn these things on and kind of troubleshoot them,

612
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: and they may do that. You can also donate it

613
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: to someone that we'll kind of get it started up

614
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: again and redo it all. The only thing I would

615
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: make sure is that I'm a little concerned because this

616
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: thing died while you still had it. I'm wondering if

617
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: it's fully If it's fully like, what's the term erased, like,

618
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: you might still have your private information on there. I

619
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: see a lot of people chiming in with is best

620
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: by geek squad helpful here? I don't know. I have

621
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: not interfaced with them in a while. I'm not sure

622
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: that they troubleshoot anything for free at geek Squad. I

623
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: know that you break I Fix will troubleshoot it for

624
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: free and tell you what's wrong. At least you can

625
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: also bring it to one of those stores. So a

626
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: lot of options. But the main thing is that you know,

627
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pay the fifty dollar. I wouldn't pay anything

628
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: to have someone troubleshoot this because it's just it's too

629
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: much of a gamble. It depends on the year. But

630
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: you have to kind of see what it might be

631
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: worth if it's good. So go on, gizmo, go see

632
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: what they would give you if this thing was totally working.

633
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: If it's one hundred and fifty bucks and it costs

634
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: you fifty to get it up and running again, sure

635
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: you just made a hundred bucks for not doing much.

636
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: But if it's two dollars and you're paying fifty dollars,

637
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: that is not a very good deal. All right, Next

638
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: story of the day, Roku finally will let you set

639
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: your own photos as a screen saver. Now, I don't

640
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: use a Roku as my primary device, but I did

641
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: look for this feature in my testing of Roku in

642
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: the past, and it did not seem like it was

643
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: very straightforward or easy to add your own photos as

644
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: a screen saver on Roku. I'm sure there were ways

645
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: to do it. I'm sure there were maybe channels that

646
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: would let you do that. But the Roku eleven software

647
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: will now let you simply and easily add your own pictures,

648
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: which is I mean, that's a million dollar feature right there.

649
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: That's just so nice. I mean, I love the fact

650
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: that my well, it's kind of funny. I have it

651
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: on my Apple TV, but I have not actually set

652
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: any of my own pictures because it's so much work.

653
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: But on the Chrome cast it's really easy because it

654
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: just pulls form my Google Photos. So Roku eleven, I

655
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: guess you would have to you know, you'd have to

656
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: have it, you have to send pictures to this thing,

657
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: but super easy. You can Finally, just send your favorite

658
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: pictures and they will show up as as your screen saver,

659
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: which is really nice. You can also share pictures so

660
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: you can start what's called a photo stream. Now, where

661
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: have I heard that term before? Oh yeah, Apple iPhone iCloud.

662
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: You can start a photo stream and you can share

663
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: that with your friends or family. So it's nice that

664
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: you can have friends across the mile that have a

665
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: Roku and they can see an ongoing stream of the

666
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: pictures that you share with them. On the I always

667
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: call it the best screen in the house, your TV,

668
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: the biggest screen. The pictures just look so nice. And

669
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: it's funny because you think a picture looks good on

670
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: your smartphone and then you see it on your TV

671
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: screen and it doesn't always look so good on there,

672
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: because it's it's you know, it's a lot bigger, it's

673
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: like blown up. So sometimes you just realize that you

674
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: might need to get those pictures more in focus sometimes,

675
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: or your smartphone camera is not as good as you

676
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: thought it was, or sometimes you're just blown away. You're like, wow,

677
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: how do I take a picture like this on my smartphone?

678
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: It's so nice? All right? Some of the other features

679
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: in Roku OS eleven is a new what to watch

680
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: on Roku menu, So this is going to be a

681
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: new hub on the home screen that has a whole

682
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff to watch, kind of like what it's

683
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: kind of like what fire TV does on its home screen,

684
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: So it kind of pulls from your apps primarily, but

685
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: it also will just suggest popular stuff, things that people

686
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: are watching, things that you can watch for free, anything

687
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of trending. So it's it's just all in

688
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: an attempt to get you to watch more TV, more

689
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: streaming stuff, and of course I'm sure it'll have a

690
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: healthy dose of Roku stuff as well. They also have

691
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: and this is very handy, new automatic speech clarity settings

692
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: so you can hear people better. Have you ever noticed

693
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: on TV shows and movies that like sometimes you can't

694
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: hear the dialogue as well? And so these companies are

695
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: very well aware of it. And I on my Sonos

696
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: I have a setting that that enhances the speech and

697
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: looks like that's coming to the Roku as well. So

698
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: Roku OS eleven be on the lookout. It's going to

699
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: go to all supported devices. I don't know which those

700
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: those devices you can look up online and see if

701
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: you do like Roku os eleven supported devices. It's a

702
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: wide swath, but it's not going to be every device.

703
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 1: Some we're going to fall out of a favor here,

704
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: but rolling out to these devices in the next few weeks,

705
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: so be on the lookout for that. All right, I'm

706
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: gonna take a little simple water here and we are

707
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: going to let's see. Dana says, good morning, Rich. Quick question.

708
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: There's that good morning. Oh the email address, by the way,

709
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 1: hello at richontech dot TV if you want to send

710
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: me a question right now and get it in on

711
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: the show. Quick question. I was just wondering if there's

712
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: a nearby gas price search app that you would recommend.

713
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: So good question. I know gas prices are are wildly

714
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: high right now, especially here in California, so gas Buddy

715
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: is really the gold standard when it comes to these prices.

716
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: Gas Buddy is crowdsourced, so the pricing information is as

717
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: good as the people that are going to the gas

718
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: stations and typing in those prices. The other thing that

719
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: you can do is there's one called gas Guru. That's

720
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: another app that's that's similar to gas Buddy. And then

721
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: there's an app that I'm actually featuring Monday on KTLA.

722
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: That is pretty cool. It's called I Exit I ex

723
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: so I the letter I exit like iPhone I exit.

724
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: And this is a really good one because it shows

725
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: you on the interstate you're on. It shows you which

726
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: exit ahead has the cheapest gas prices, and so that's

727
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: really handy because you know you can say, like, oh,

728
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: I can stop at this one this exit, or I

729
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: can stop in five miles and save like sixty cents

730
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: on a gallon of gas. Sometimes these freeway exits only

731
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: have like one or two places to choose from, and

732
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: the gas prices could be really high. And by the way,

733
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: gas prices are always typically higher next to the interstates.

734
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the way it is because they've

735
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: got all those you know, all those people that are

736
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: driving by, and it's just what do you I mean,

737
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to go five miles off the highway

738
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: to get gas. You want to go right off the

739
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: freeway exit. And in fact, the exit the places that

740
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: have the big sign that you can see from the

741
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: freeway do even better because oh, I know, okay, there's

742
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: a chevron, I can go right there. So those are

743
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: the three apps I would recommend. The other place that

744
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: you can go is if you're worried about your privacy,

745
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: because there has been some talk about how gas Buddy

746
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: does collect a lot of private information like your location

747
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: and all kinds of data. So if you number one

748
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: in gas Buddy, I would turn a lot of those

749
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: features off. So if you have gas Buddy, go into

750
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: your settings and there's a setting that says don't collect

751
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: so much personal information, definitely toggle that switch. But I

752
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: would also recommend I guess according to Wirecutter, this is

753
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: so random, but Geico has gas prices on their website.

754
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: So if you'd want something really simple, just google Geico

755
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: gas prices and you can put in your zip code

756
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: and it will tell you the cheapest gas prices. And

757
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: I guess the Geico app does that as well. Now

758
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: does it tell me? Oh, they're getting their gas prices

759
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: from this thing called opis opis, and that's the same

760
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: place that I exit gets their gas prices from. And

761
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: the way they get their gas prices is direct from

762
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: the pumps, So the pumps report the prices to this

763
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: opis opis and that's how they get the price. So

764
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: it's not crowdsourced it's actually sourced from the pumps and

765
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: the gas stations themselves. And I guess also when people

766
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: swipe the credit cards at the gas station. I don't

767
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 1: know how that works, but apparently so there's two ways

768
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: of getting gas prices. It's crowdsourced, which is me going

769
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: to a gas station, and I guess there's just good

770
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: Samaritans in the world that say, oh, this is six

771
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: forty seven. They type it into the app and a

772
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: bunch of people do that and they verify it. And

773
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: then there's this direct data, which is from these companies

774
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: like Opis that go through and they just integrate into

775
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: these payment systems and they get the data that way.

776
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: So two ways to get the data. Either way, I

777
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: got to find those cheap gas prices. You know, I

778
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: haven't an EV, so I've been avoiding the gas price situation.

779
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: My wife still drives as a guess car, and believe me,

780
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: it's it's unbelievable how much these gas bills have gone up.

781
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty pretty wild, especially here in California.

782
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: All right. Next story here a new prepaid mobile plan.

783
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of you are going to

784
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: get this plan, but it's interesting to know about. T

785
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: Mobile now has a ten dollars wireless plan. It's called

786
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: Connect by T Mobile, No credit check required. It's available

787
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: starting March twenty fifth, which happens to be the damn

788
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: recording this. I went online. Yes you can do it,

789
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: and it's ten dollars a month plus tax. It's the

790
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: lowest price smartphone plan ever from T Mobile. And what

791
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: do you get for that ten dollars? You get one

792
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: thousand minutes of talk, a thousand minutes of text, and

793
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 1: one gigabyte of high speed data. So who is this for?

794
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 1: This is for maybe Grandma, Grandpa, someone that that does

795
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: not need a lot of data. And yeah, I mean

796
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: you can be a grandma on Grandpa and be traveling

797
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: the world and need a lot of data. I'm just

798
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: using this as an example of the best example I

799
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: can think of is maybe and maybe I talked about this.

800
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: I felt like it did. I think it's really confusing

801
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: what I talk about during the week, because I'm on TV,

802
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: I'm on the radio several times, and then I also

803
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: talk to like people in life, and I also email

804
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: people back and instant message them and tweet them. So

805
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: I've answered these questions over and over a lot of

806
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: the times, because I get a lot of the same questions.

807
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: So I'm like, wait, did I mention that on the podcast? Yeah,

808
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I did. But I give the example of, like,

809
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: maybe you have a loved one that oh and here's

810
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: Alejandro said, yeah, you said this on Handle and so

811
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear me again if you heard me on

812
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: Bill Handle talking about this stuff. But I give the

813
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: example of sort of a loved one that lives in

814
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: a senior center, and so maybe they live in a

815
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: senior housing. They don't need a lot of data on

816
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: their phone because they're in Wi Fi all day. They're

817
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: inside the senior living center, so they've got this nice

818
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Wi Fi signal. But you still want them to have

819
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: a phone. This is a really cheap way for them

820
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: to have a phone be able to check in on them.

821
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: A thousand minutes of talk, thousand minutes of text, one

822
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: gig of high speed data. So if they leave the

823
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: house to go on a walk or something around the block,

824
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: they can still use a bit of data for whatever

825
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, comes through I messages or whatever, and it

826
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: just still works. But ten bucks a month very very cheap,

827
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: and I might just keep this around, just have like

828
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: an extra phone number or something. Maybe I can use

829
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: it for It's just I mean, that's a pretty good price.

830
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: So Connect by T Mobile and they also have other

831
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: plans that have a little bit more data as well

832
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: and a little bit more unlimited talk. So fifteen bucks

833
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: a month gets you what is fifteen bucks a month

834
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: gets you unlimited talk and text plus three gigs of

835
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: high speed data. So there you have it. Speaking of free,

836
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: YouTube is joining the ranks of all these like two

837
00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: B and Roku and Plex and Visio and Sam's Song

838
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: that are all doing kind of the free ad supported

839
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: television stuff. It's so funny because we're going back to

840
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: the I don't know, not back to the future. We're

841
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: going back to the past. So TV has always been free, right,

842
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: Channels two through thirteen have always been free. How are

843
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: they supported? They're supported by ads. It's not a new

844
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: concept to be able to watch a TV show for free,

845
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: even popular shows like Modern Family or Gossip Girl or

846
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: you could tell them very dated with my TV references.

847
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: Can't even know what's on TV but YouTube or alf Oh,

848
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know what's a new TV show. I

849
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: can't even tell you. I do know one there is

850
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 1: a new TV show that I do know. It's called

851
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: Abbot's Elementary. Isn't that a new show that people love?

852
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 1: People love that show? I should watch it. So it's

853
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: not a new concept to get TV for free, But

854
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to streaming, it is because we started

855
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: out with streaming being ad not ads on streaming. You know,

856
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: you paid Netflix to have no ads, and you would

857
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: pay a premium to have that experience. Well, now as

858
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: we get is streaming has matured a lot more people

859
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: are now saying hey, and people prefer this. They really

860
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: like free stuff and so they like the idea of

861
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: streaming for free. Now YouTube has always been streaming for

862
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: free with ads, but now they're going to be doing

863
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: full TV shows with ads. So right now they've got

864
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: four thousand episodes of free TV. They've got ads on

865
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 1: these shows, of course, but there's all kinds of shows.

866
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: The let's see what the example is YouTube TV. Let's see,

867
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: let's see four thousand, four thousand shows. I'm trying to

868
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: get a list of like all the shows that they

869
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: have on there. The examples here are Hell's Kitchen and

870
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: and Drama I've never even heard of that. So let's

871
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: see if I can find a better example of some

872
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: of the shows. Let's see what YouTube says on their blog.

873
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: Let's see four thousand TV shows, Heartland, also movies, fifteen

874
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: hundred movies, Runaway Bride, Legally Blonde. So I can just

875
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: stream legally Blonde. Yeah, I just pressed it and boom,

876
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: it's on. It's on my computer right now, streaming. That's

877
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 1: pretty neat. Now they've had YouTube movies and TV shows

878
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: for a long time streaming, so I think that the well,

879
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: you can follow the channel. It's called YouTube Movies and Shows.

880
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: I've got one hundred and forty nine million subscribers, and

881
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: so you can just oh wow, there's a lot. Oh,

882
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: the sand law is free. Ten things I Hate about you,

883
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: Little Shop of Horrors. Oh, here's some of the shows. Okay,

884
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: Hell's Kitchen, Heartlands, Scream Queens, Let's see the Unsolved Mysteries, Wolfred. Okay,

885
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: I haven't heard of any of these shows. I mean,

886
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of stuff, and whether you need to

887
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: watch it as a whole nother question, I can't. I

888
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: can't comment on whether these are worthwhile of your time,

889
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: but you may find something you like. So now you

890
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: can watch stuff for free, and it'll work on a

891
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: lot of the you know, YouTube is everywhere, so you

892
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: can watch on your phone. And the company says they're

893
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna add up to one hundred shows and movies each week.

894
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, just a new way of watching stuff. The

895
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: channel is called YouTube Movies and Shows and I'm sure

896
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: that that's like probably tough to just search for. Let's see,

897
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: if I just search Google YouTube Movies and Shows channel,

898
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: does that bring up the actual channel? No, it really

899
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: does not, but you'll you'll just have to find it.

900
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: Good luck finding it, all right, let's get to the

901
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: next question. Oh yeah, Pluto TV. So Pluto TV. Fish

902
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: Taco Bob says Pluto TV is owned by Viacom CBS,

903
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: which is why it's constantly advertising CBS shows and services.

904
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: Fun little fact about Pluto TV. I was having lunch

905
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: with the guy who started Pluto TV back before it

906
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 1: was a big thing, and he said, yeah, I'm starting

907
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: this new thing called Pluto TV, and I'm like, ah,

908
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: that's interesting. He's like, yeah, it's like basically cable TV,

909
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: but for free. I was like, who's gonna watch that?

910
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: Who's gonna watch free? You know TV? Streaming, like, give

911
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: me a break, and he's like, well, it's ad supported.

912
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: We've got channels on like everything, like tech and like

913
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: extreme outdoors and comedy channels, and I'm like, give me

914
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: a break. Nobody's gonna watch that. Well, fast forward about

915
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how many years it was, but you know,

916
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: five years later, CBS or Viacom bought Pluto TV for

917
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: like three hundred million dollars. So I guess I was

918
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: the U. I guess I was the one who was

919
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: wrong in that conversation. And I'm sure he's having much

920
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: nicer lunches than I am at this point because he

921
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: sold his business for three hundred million dollars and I

922
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: poo pooed it. So it's okay. But I'm doing a

923
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: podcast on Instagram, so everything's going okay for me, all right.

924
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: Paula says, Hey, Rich, I'm a huge fan because you

925
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: help us understand this information so easily. I was wanting

926
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: to know if you can record your conversation while speaking

927
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: at the same time on your cell phone. I have

928
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: an Android A fifty If so, how so I would

929
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: really appreciate it the answer, because I'm a caretaker for

930
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: my mom and it's super important for me. Have a

931
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: blessed ay, Paula, Paula. The app that I would recommend

932
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: for this is called Tape a Call. I know, Tape

933
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: a Call. Tapeacall dot com is the website. It lets

934
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: you record phone calls on iPhone and Android, and so

935
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: that's about it. The way that this works is basically

936
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: it initiates a three way call, and it may do

937
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: that automatically or it may be a manual process. I'm

938
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: not sure. I have not used this app personally, but

939
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: I interviewed the company behind the app a long time

940
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: ago and they basically said, yeah, we're like the number

941
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: one app for doing this. So Tape a Call is

942
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: the app. And Ryan says, what's the tape? Yeah? I know.

943
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: It's an old funny how you apps have old school names, right,

944
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: like notepad, Like now you're a digital note taking app.

945
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: Like you're not a notepad, you're you know, tape a call.

946
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: You're not taping it. You're digitally recording a call. Now.

947
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: The only thing I need to tell you about this

948
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: is that you need to This works for incoming calls

949
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: and outcoming calls. There's no recording limits. It does cost money.

950
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: It's not free, and so let's see how much it

951
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: costs if I look inside the app Store. By the way,

952
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: if you ever want to get an idea for what

953
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: a quote unquote free app is going to hit you

954
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: up for to charge you for things, just go into

955
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: their app listing and then you can go into there's

956
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: a little tiny section all the way at the bottom

957
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: that says in app purchases, and it will tell you

958
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: what those in app purchases are and how much they cost.

959
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: And so you can always just kind of get an

960
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: idea of like what the in app purchases are for

961
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: that app, because most of these apps they just want

962
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: to they just want to get you downloading them, so

963
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: they're free. But then there's a whole bunch of in

964
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: app purchases, but sometimes it don't always exactly tell you

965
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: what those in app purchases cost. So you can just

966
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: scroll onto the app Store and scroll down to the

967
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: section where it says in app purchases, and it will

968
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: give you an idea of what those little InApp purchases cost.

969
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: So on this tape a call, it's available for Android

970
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: and iOS, so you can get it for both platforms. Now,

971
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't know you said it's for your mom's phone,

972
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: So it sounds like you want something that's very automatic.

973
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's automatic for starting triggering these conversations.

974
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: So it may do that. I don't know, but you're

975
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 1: gonna have to look and see. Now. The other thing

976
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: is that you need to look at the laws in

977
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 1: your area. So every state has different laws for how

978
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: you can record phone calls and whether you need what's

979
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: called two party consent or one party consent. And I'm

980
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: not a lawyer, I can't advise you on that, but

981
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: you definitely need to look into those laws because in

982
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: certain states, if you do not ask the person expressly,

983
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: hey can I record this call, and then it'll give

984
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: you the permission then and you can't record it. And

985
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 1: if you've ever called an eight hundred number where it says,

986
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, we're recording this call for purposes of product

987
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 1: development or whatever, that's why they do that is because

988
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: they're informing you that they're recording the call. So just

989
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: be aware of that before you before you launch into this.

990
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: Does anyone use Twitter? I don't think so. Does anyone

991
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: really use Twitter? Anyway? Twitter search got a big upgrade

992
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: this week. You can actually search for contents inside your conversations.

993
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: I've actually thought about this a lot, and I feel

994
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: like Instagram Messenger is the best messaging program out there

995
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: because every single person I know is on Instagram. Try

996
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: if you if you need to get a hold of

997
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: someone one time, just try messaging them on Instagram and

998
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they will reply. I try this all

999
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: the time. I'm like, let me, let me Instagram messenger

1000
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: this person, and sure enough, they always message back. Twitter

1001
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 1: not so much. A lot of people have their dms

1002
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: locked down or it's too like open, so they don't

1003
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: really want to do a lot with dms. I use

1004
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: it occasionally, like if someone needs to get in touch

1005
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: with me, sometimes they'll DM me, and you know, I'll

1006
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: see it once in a while. I don't see as often,

1007
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: but you know, obviously, Twitter is still the smallest out

1008
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: of all the social media platforms. It's very kind of

1009
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: targeted to towards like news hounds, entertainment. Instagram is kind

1010
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: of like the everyone really uses Instagram, so it's just

1011
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: kind of like it's the what do they call it,

1012
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: the I don't know, it's like the equalizer, Like everyone's

1013
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: on there, so it's just really easy to contact people

1014
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: that way. But Twitter not so much. You know, there's

1015
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: not a lot of people, even if they have an account.

1016
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: A lot of times people are not actively using their

1017
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: Twitter account or they just kind of creep on Twitter.

1018
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: They scroll through, they set up an account once, they

1019
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: never look at it again. But by the way, I'm

1020
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: on all these platforms at rich On Tech, I do.

1021
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: I do post different things to different platforms, and so

1022
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 1: I am active on all three, whether it's Twitter, Facebook,

1023
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: and Instagram. I would say that Instagram I'm probably the

1024
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: most active on, and then Twitter and Facebook is just

1025
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: kind of like more limited. But I do love facebooks.

1026
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: I have the most followers there. So it's fun to

1027
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: get some good conversations going. Because if I ever have

1028
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: like this random thought, I'm like, I wonder if someone

1029
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: else thinks that I just posted to Facebook. And believe me,

1030
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: the answers come in. They come in fast and furious.

1031
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: All right, So Twitter, you can now search your direct

1032
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: messages for keywords in those messages. Let me just go

1033
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: to an Apple feature. Apple's driver's license feature just launched

1034
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I had a good friend and listener of

1035
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: the show, Jim Jim Lawson. He emailed me all the

1036
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: screenshots of signing up for that. And so you basically

1037
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: take your license, your driver's license or your state ID

1038
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: and you can add it to your Apple wallet. And

1039
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 1: because Arizona is one of the first places that this works,

1040
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: you can also use your ID at the TSA security

1041
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 1: checkpoint at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. So, coming down the line,

1042
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: other states that are going to support these digital licenses Colorado, Hawaii, Mississippi, Ohio, Georgia, Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma,

1043
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: and Utah. What does this mean? Wow, the driver's license

1044
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: is probably going to go away and move to a

1045
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: digital format. I'm very excited about that personally because I

1046
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: only carry a wallet begrudgingly, because uh, the driver's license

1047
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: is one of the last things I actually need to carry. Yes,

1048
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,479
Speaker 1: I carry a little cash. Yes I carry a credit

1049
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: card or a debit card. But I could do without

1050
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: those things if I need it to. I would probably

1051
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: just carry a twenty in my pocket for like true emergencies.

1052
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I think that's so cool that

1053
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: we are going to move to a digital license. I know,

1054
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: it's scary, everything is all of you know, it's all

1055
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: moving online, it's all moving to your phone. If you

1056
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: lose your phone, it's kind of a problem. But the

1057
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: reality is, when I my credit card was hacked a

1058
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, the you know, the bank had just

1059
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: had to overnight me a new card. And same thing

1060
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: with my debit card that was hacked a couple months ago,

1061
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: and they had to send me a new card. It

1062
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: was a whole pain. But with these cards, if you notice,

1063
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 1: when they send you a new one, it's updated in

1064
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: your Apple wallet immediately, and in your Google wallet and

1065
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 1: your Samsung wallet, the digital number is updated, so there's

1066
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: no there's no time when you are out a card.

1067
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 1: If it's a physical card, you have to wait even

1068
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, look the best banks, they're going to overnight

1069
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: you your card. But the reality is you're still going to

1070
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: be out a card for twenty four hours, whereas with

1071
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: digital you're never out. So let's say you lose your

1072
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: driver's license, you could see a world of you know,

1073
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 1: if it's digital, they just basically send you a new

1074
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,919
Speaker 1: digital copy right on your phone. And so it's pretty

1075
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: pretty wild that this is happening. Android. I know iPhone

1076
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: is getting all the attention with this feature, but it

1077
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 1: will come to Android as well. It's just that Apple

1078
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: has kind of like they do. They've they've made the

1079
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: system for it really fast and really easy and ahead

1080
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: of the curve. The one thing you need to know

1081
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting is that you don't need to

1082
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: actually unlock your device or show your device at all

1083
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: or hand it over to a TSA officer. All you

1084
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: have to do is, you know, basically activate it in

1085
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: your Apple wallet and then tap something and it will

1086
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: transmit just the information you need to see. So a

1087
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: lot of times I get like this when someone has

1088
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: to look at my driver's license to verify something. It's

1089
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: like kind of a privacy invasion because I know I'm

1090
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: a little bit different than a lot of people with

1091
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: the privacy stuff, but I like to be very private.

1092
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: And so the fact that you know, if you're checking

1093
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: my ID to make sure I'm of a certain age,

1094
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: that you get to see all my other information as well,

1095
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: Like why should you like you should just you know,

1096
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: I should be able to tap my ID and it says, oh, yeah,

1097
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: this guy's twenty one, or this guy's twenty five, or

1098
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: this guy you know is I don't know lives in

1099
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: California or this is address whatever. It's just a little

1100
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: bit more private and a little bit a little bit

1101
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: simpler that way. All right, let's see, can I get

1102
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: to one last question before the end of the show. Here,

1103
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,479
Speaker 1: Wendy says, I have a question. How can I find

1104
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: all the things I've asked Siria on my iPhone? Is

1105
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: there a place there stored? Been wondering this for years

1106
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: and I thought maybe you could help me out. Thanks

1107
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: for advance, Wendy. Thanks in advance, Wendy. Great question, Wendy,

1108
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: And the answer is no, you cannot hear what you've

1109
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: said to Siri as far as I know. As far

1110
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: as I know, you can delete the recordings that your

1111
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: phone has made, but you cannot listen to those recordings. Now,

1112
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: Apple's a little bit different than Amazon and Google in

1113
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: this regard. Amazon and Google both let you listen to

1114
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: your actual recordings of your voice. So if you said

1115
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 1: to something like, hey, Gee, what's the weather in Tokyo today,

1116
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: you can actually go on to Google on your phone

1117
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 1: or on your computer and listen to how you asked

1118
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: that or what it heard. And you can do that

1119
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: by just typing in Google assistant Voice history and it

1120
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: should bring you up. It'll give you an option to

1121
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: check all of the recordings in your history, and you

1122
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: can also delete those recordings and turn off that activity

1123
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: as well. So if you want to find those audio recordings,

1124
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: just basically go to Google. You just have to Google

1125
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's manage your Google account data and privacy,

1126
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: web and app activity, and then manage activity and then

1127
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: you'll see a recording for all of your recordings. So

1128
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: I give Google props for actually going that extra mile. Amazon,

1129
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: same thing. Just type in Amazon Alexa Voice recording history

1130
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: and you should be able to find it in your

1131
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: YEP listen to view and delete your voice recordings and

1132
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: you can just do that right from that page. On Apple,

1133
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: you can just delete those recordings. You can't actually listen

1134
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: to them or kind of manipulate them or see kind

1135
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: of like what you said in those things. So great question, Wendy,

1136
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: And maybe Apple will do that at some point, but

1137
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: I think they do a lot of the processing now

1138
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: on your phone, so I'm not even sure that they

1139
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: send a transcript or anything to Apple or if it's

1140
00:57:55,880 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: saved or anything like that after the question is processed.

1141
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: I think they just go ahead and delete it. I

1142
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: don't know, I have to read up on how they

1143
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: do it these days, but I know there's that big

1144
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: kind of realization that these services are actually keeping recordings

1145
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: of our voices. And that was an eye opening thing

1146
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Wow, does this time just

1147
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: fly by for you? It does for me. That's going

1148
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: to do it for this episode of the show. If
