1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Is bing back Baby. Not to be outdone, Google says 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: we've got AI two how to protect yourself from simswapping, 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions answered? What is going on? I'm 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the show 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: where I talk about the tech stuff I think you 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: should know about, and it's the place where I answer 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: your questions about technology. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Channel five in Los Angeles. Welcome to the show. Phone 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: lines are now open at one eight eight eight Rich 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: one oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two, 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 1: four to one zero one. Now, this is not a 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: show for techies. I know that sounds strange, right, not 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: a show for techies, although I do think that techies 14 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: enjoy this show, and if you are a techie, I 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: think you'll like it. But this is a show for everyone. 16 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: Technology affects so many of our lives in everything that 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: we do. So my job is to help you understand 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: that technology, stay on top of it, and answer your questions, 19 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: whether that's a tech question, whether that's a theoretical question, 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 1: whether you just want to say hi, give me a call. 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: If you have a question about technology, This is the 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: show for you. Now, if you can't tell already the 23 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,279 Speaker 1: show might sound a little bit different. This is another 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 1: first for the rich On Tech Show. I am coming 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: to you live from New Jersey. No, I'm not here 26 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: for the super Bowl, although I may watch it while 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: I'm here. Super Bowl's not happening here. I mean it 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: is on TVs, I guess. No. I'm here because my 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: brother is having a housewarming party. I didn't want to 30 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: miss it for the world, and so I said, you 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: know what, I might as well dive off the edge 32 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: and just try this whole remote show thing. And so 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: I am sitting here looking at the hills of New Jersey, 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: the Garden State. Did you know that New Jersey gets 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: such a bad rap? But it is such a beautiful place. 36 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at a beautiful hill. It was cold 37 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: out this morning. Went for a nice walk here seeing 38 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: my family while I'm here as well. So if the 39 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: show it sounds a little different, if there's a little 40 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: hiccup here there, you know what, it's all learning experience. 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: I lugged a lot of stuff here to make this 42 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: show possible through the airport, so it should be a 43 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: lot of fun to do this. And also I'm quite 44 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: impressed just how fun it is to be able to 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: do a show anywhere, well, I guess in the world. 46 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: But let's not get let's not get too ahead of 47 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: ourselves right now, anywhere in the US. Let's say so, 48 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. This was a huge week for 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. And this is what I love about hanging 50 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: out with people like my family, my friends, who are 51 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: not necessarily techies. It's because I live in a world 52 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: where I just assume the knowledge base. 53 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 2: Right. 54 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: I've been hearing about chat GPT now for weeks, I've 55 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: been playing with it, I've been talking about it. And 56 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: then you sit down to dinner with a bunch of 57 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: what I call regular folks, and I break out the 58 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: chat GPT talk and next thing you know, the record stops. 59 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: It skips everyone at the tables like, what are you 60 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: talking about? Rich? And I said, wait, what you don't 61 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: know about chat GPT. If this is single handedly turn 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: the tech world upside down in the span of a 63 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, it is bringing Google to a screeching 64 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: halt as well. It's making Microsoft maybe have a chance 65 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: to be on top once again with their being search engine. 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: It is changing everything from love to Snapple I'll explain 67 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: the moment. So chat GPT launched a couple of weeks ago. 68 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: It's from a company called open Ai. And imagine, instead 69 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: of a search engine, you're feeding all of the world's 70 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: information into this AI chatbot that can respond to you 71 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: in a very human like manner. That's what's happening with 72 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: chat GPT. Now, keep in mind, chat gpd is not perfect. 73 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: It's not up to date. The last time it was 74 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: updated was twenty twenty one. With its knowledge, I mean, 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: the technology is up to date, but the information that 76 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: it's fed is only through twenty twenty one because it's 77 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: a research tool. But it's been enough to really make 78 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: these big companies think about their future, especially Google. So 79 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: this week both Google and micros said, you know what 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: we've got AI. We're gonna show it off to the world. 81 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: Google showed off this thing called Bard, which is its 82 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: AI search engine, and they didn't really show too much 83 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: of it. They just said, you know, it kind of 84 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: has a lot of the same features as chat GPT, 85 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: except it's fresher. We've got all the Google information built 86 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: into this search engine. And then Bing actually invited journalists 87 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: up to their headquarters near Seattle, and they said, we're 88 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: gonna show you this, and we're going to show you 89 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: what we have, and by the way, we're gonna unveil 90 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: this to the world and let actual people use this 91 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: like very soon, like now. And so they showed off 92 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: the new bing which has chat GPT built in, but 93 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: a newer, fresher version of chat GPT built in. I know, 94 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: if this all sounds wild, it really is. But if 95 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: you use one of these search engines, it's just incredible 96 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: what it does. It talks to you like a human 97 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: would It talks to you like your friend might. You 98 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: can ask it almost anything. You can ask it to 99 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: write you an email to your employer saying I'd like 100 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: it job, or I'd like to quit my job, or 101 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: I'd like a raise, or you can ask it to 102 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: write a sales proposal, or you can tell it, hey, 103 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: give me ten of the best things to do when 104 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm in Italy for a week. It's not just Microsoft 105 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: and Google. A search engine named Neiva. They've already got 106 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: an AI search result Chinese search engine bay Do. They 107 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: are testing their ernie bot Chinese commerce giant Ali Baba. 108 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: They're testing AI for shopping, which leads me to think, hey, 109 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: where's Amazon in all of this? Imagine, instead of just 110 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: searching Amazon for a particular product, you tell the Amazon 111 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: AI search bot exactly what you need. You're looking for 112 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: a couch that measures this exact dimension you want it, 113 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: in this exact color, in this exact fabric, And instead 114 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: of shuffling through all kinds of links and products and 115 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: seeing what they have to offer, it will give you 116 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: the exact couch that meets your specific criteria. This is 117 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: where the future is headed. It is quite incredible. Now 118 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned that even Snapple has AI. Snapple has this 119 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: thing called the fact Generator FAI ct generator. Remember if 120 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: you I mean, it's funny that I'm in New Jersey 121 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: talking about Snapple because growing up that was a very 122 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: big part of my childhood. But Snapple is nationwide, of course, 123 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: and under the cap they've got those little Snapple facts. 124 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: In fact, according to Snaple Information, there have been one thousand, 125 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: six hundred and seventy seven Snapple Real facts under the lid. 126 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: So now you can type in anything you want in 127 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: this Snapple fact generator. It says, write a wild fact. 128 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: Let's say a wild fact about blueberries, about blueberries, and 129 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: I type this in and within seconds it's doing its 130 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: little machine learning. It's AI, and it says snaple fact 131 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: number thirteen and thirty four wild blueberries have twice the 132 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: antioxidants of cultivated ones, So that's Snapple using AI. Then 133 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: there's a website called Flame AI. So you've got this 134 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: app called flame Flamme. They've got an AI for relationships. 135 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: So they've taken chat GPT and they've narrowed it down 136 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: to just love and relationship questions. So you can go 137 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: to this website and you can type in a question 138 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: about love. If you have a question about your partner 139 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: or a question about someone that you're into, and you 140 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: want to ask this AI for advice, you can do that, 141 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: or you can just say something like best date ideas 142 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: involving heights in New York City. Now, if you were 143 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: to type that into a typical search engine, you'd get 144 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of results, right. You'd get links from blogs, 145 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: you get links from YouTube, you get links from just 146 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: random tweets about people saying what they like to do 147 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: in New York City on a date. But what this 148 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: does is it has all of the Internet's information and 149 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: it's thinking about all the different blogs and tweets and 150 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: different sources that mention kind of the same things. And 151 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: then here's what it comes up with. Answer number one, 152 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: take a trip to the Empire State Building Observatory. Number 153 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: two head over to the Brooklyn Bridge for romanic stroll 154 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Number three check 155 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: out the Highline. Number four, if you're brave, try a 156 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: couple skydiving experience over New York City. Not doing that, 157 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Number five, have dinner at a restaurant 158 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: with outdoor seating with a skyline view. Number six. Visit 159 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Top of the Rock Observation Center for a three hundred 160 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: and sixty degree view of Manhattan. Number seven take a 161 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: tour of one of New York City's rooftop bars for 162 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: memorable for a memorable night of drinks and food. This 163 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: is absolutely incredible. So everything is turning to this new 164 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: AI and everyone is leaning on AI to change the world. Now, 165 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: this has a lot of implications for not only the 166 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: way we search, the way that we get information, the 167 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: way that term papers are written. If you're coming up 168 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: with a game show, you can ask AI to write 169 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: your game show questions for you. Stuff that takes the 170 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: jeopardy folks months of research to do. Now you have 171 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: to be careful, though, because the one big downside of AIS, 172 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: it's not always right. This is not perfect, this is 173 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: not an exact science. AI gets it wrong. I just 174 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: looked up some information about the Super Bowl, and boy 175 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: did have some outdated information and some information that was 176 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: just flat out wrong. So if kids are thinking about 177 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: using this to write their term papers, which many are, yeah, 178 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: you can use it for a rough draft or maybe 179 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: some research or talking points, but you better fact checked 180 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: almost everything that AI comes up with. Look the bottom 181 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: line here, search content and the ad business around search 182 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: is going to be forever changed by this technology, and 183 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: that has a really big implication for Google. Google, you're wondering, 184 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: why didn't you have search AI out of the gate, 185 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: Why weren't you first? Well, because this turns their entire 186 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: advertising business upside down. When you do a Google search, 187 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: what do you see at the top? You see links, 188 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: advertising links that pay Google. Google hopes you tap those 189 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: links because guess what, it makes them money, and that's 190 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: their entire business. They made billions in the last quarter 191 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: that way. Now, if you're just tapping something or typing 192 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: something into a search engine. You get the exact answer 193 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: you need without clicking a whole bunch of links, some 194 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: of those links paying Google. Now, what how does Google 195 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: make money? It's a really big question. I think they 196 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: are really struggling to answer right now. AI is gonna 197 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: have a big impact on everything every industry. You can 198 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: think about restaurants, clothing, cars, and more. It is going 199 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: to be a wild ride. I hope you check out 200 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: some of these AI search engines because it is just 201 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: quite incredible. And bringing it back to the dinner table 202 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: last night, I'm not kidding. Everyone started going on chat 203 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: GBT looking up answers and things, and their minds were 204 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: just opened up. They just said, Wow, this is incredible 205 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: and it's just gonna have so many implications for the 206 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: way I do my job, and also my kids and 207 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do.

Kathy is in San Bernardino, California. Kathy, 234 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: you are on with. 235 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 3: Rich question about Microsoft's three sixty five, which I understand 236 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 3: is cloud based. 237 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: Is there any risk of. 238 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: Cross migration between my personal office three sixty five account 239 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 3: and my employer's new mandatory Office three sixty five accounts 240 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: that we're supposed to use remotely. 241 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: Oh, you sound very excited about this Mandatory Office three 242 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: sixty five. 243 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 3: Well, it's it's because I wouldn't want a any of 244 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 3: my documents to disappear, because I read the fine print 245 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: and it says the employer can choose to pull back 246 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: any documents that you have created with their account, which 247 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: I understand, but also because there's always a risk with 248 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 3: who knows which employees have have permissions and what they 249 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: might do with those permissions. 250 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, all right, So let's break this down. So, 251 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: first off, you can you can definitely use your employer's 252 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: three sixty five log in as well as your own. 253 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: In fact, I do that on a daily basis. So 254 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: I've got my own office three sixty five and then 255 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: I've got my corporate three sixty five and I've got 256 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: Windows running in the same browser with both instances. Now, 257 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: with that said, number one, you have to be careful 258 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: because you need to know which account you're working on 259 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: at that specific time, so you need to make sure 260 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: if you're uploading a document to like one drive, you 261 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: need to make sure that that's the correct one. You 262 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: don't want to put a personal document in your employer's file, 263 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: and you don't want to put your employee file in 264 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: your personal stuff more so, you probably want to be 265 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: worried about putting your personal stuff into your employee file. Now, 266 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: the email is going to be pretty straightforward because you're 267 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: gonna recognize your inbox very quickly to see which one's 268 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: your corporate inbox, which one's your personal inbox, And there's 269 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: no real issue with them cross contaminating each other as 270 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: long as you know what you're doing and you know 271 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 1: which account you're using at the right time. Now, with 272 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: that said, you will notice that you're going to have 273 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: to authorize the accounts more often than you may have 274 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: to if you're just using one account, because sometimes the 275 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: system does get a little confused and it's like, Okay, 276 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: which account is she using right now? Is it her corporate? 277 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: Let's just make sure you put your password back in. 278 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: And usually the corporate accounts have more requirements for security, 279 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: so they're going to ask you for your password more 280 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: than say, you know your personal account. Perhaps with all 281 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: of that said, you need to be the most careful about, 282 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, just knowing that anything you do on your 283 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: employee corporate three sixty five account, you know they can see, 284 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: so they can see how you're using that account. They 285 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: can see where you log in from, they can see 286 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: what you're doing, they can see what you're uploading, what 287 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: you're downloading, all through the lens of what you're doing 288 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: on three sixty five. I'm not saying they have your 289 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: entire computer that they can monitor, unless you're using a VPN, 290 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: and then that is a very different topic. So that's 291 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: really the main thing. You just have to also keep 292 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: in mind that at any point they may, like you said, 293 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: pull the account so they can go into your account 294 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: see what files you have in there. They can look 295 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: at your emails, they can scan your emails. They may 296 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: even get reports of when you do your emails and 297 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: how many emails you send on a daily basis without 298 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: specifically looking at your emails, although they reserve that right 299 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: as well. So what I'm trying to say is that 300 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: when you're using a corporate account, there is really the 301 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: only rule is that your employer's eyes can see pretty 302 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: much everything that is happening inside that account. But running 303 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: the two instances on your computer. I do that on 304 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: a daily basis and it works just fine. You just 305 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: have to be careful again about what you are doing 306 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: in which account. So, Kathy, great, first question for this 307 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: this show, and thanks for calling. All right, let's go 308 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: to Joyce in San Diego. Joyce, you are on with Rich. 309 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: How can I help? Chris is in Temecula. 310 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 4: Yes, Hi, Hey, Chris, can you So here's my question. 311 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 4: I have a Samsung Smart TV, but it's a lower mode, 312 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 4: lower lower end. Have it in the bedroom, and it 313 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 4: says that it's Bluetooth capable, but it won't connect to 314 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 4: my Samsung airpud. 315 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 5: So I bought a device and I realized that there 316 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 5: are no ports on the computer. So I'm wondering if 317 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 5: there's some type of wireless transmitter, if you will, that 318 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 5: I could use, you know, from the TV through that 319 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 5: to the air buds. So I consume it in the 320 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 5: bedroom bedroom when other people are outside watching TV. I 321 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 5: don't want to bother them. 322 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: So the TV has Bluetooth, but you're saying there's just 323 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: no functionality to connect the AirPods. 324 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I have the Samsung here buds okay, okay, 325 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 5: and there's no on the back of the TV. There 326 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 5: are no places to plug anything in other than a 327 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 5: coax cable. Again, it's the lower end TV, but it's 328 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 5: just for the bedroom. I bought a device from best 329 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 5: Buy that plugged in, but again there's no plug ins 330 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 5: on the on the TV. So I'm wondering if there's 331 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 5: a wireless device that. 332 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: I can give in to it. There's no HDMI on 333 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: that TV. 334 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 5: I there may be HDMI, I mean there should be. 335 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, So I mean there's really I mean unless 336 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: there's an audio out on the TV, which if there is, 337 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: if there's like a headphone jack, you can get a 338 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: product called airfly and plug that in. 339 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 5: There is no headphone jack. 340 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: There's no headphone jack. Okay. With no headphone jack and 341 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: only coax and maybe HDMI, the best thing I can 342 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: do is recommend that you would get some sort of 343 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: streaming device, whether it's a Roku stick or a Amazon 344 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: Fire TV stick, something really inexpensive, and then you can 345 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: connect the Bluetooth earbuds to that. But you're only gonna 346 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: be able to listen to things that are streaming through 347 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: that device. So if you're connecting like a standard cable 348 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: box or something to this TV, that's just not gonna 349 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: work because it's not gonna it's not gonna stream the 350 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: information from the COAX to the Bluetooth because there's just 351 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: not a way that I know to connect that. If 352 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: there was something that was sort of an RCA out, 353 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: you can definitely go on Amazon and get sort of 354 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: an RCA to Bluetooth adapter, a little transmitter that would work, 355 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: But without having ports on the back, it's really gonna 356 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: be tricky to get that out of COAX. You're listening 357 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. More of your calls next at 358 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one oh one, Welcome back to rich 359 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: on Tech. This is the show where I talk about 360 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: the tech stuff I think you should know about. It's 361 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: also the place where I answer the questions you have 362 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: about technology. Welcome back to the show. My name is 363 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: rich Demiro. On the line is Joanna Stern. She is 364 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: a Wall Street Journal columnist and she was at the 365 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: Microsoft event this week where they showed off the new 366 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: bing infused with artificial intelligence. Joanna, welcome to the show. 367 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 6: Thanks for having me. 368 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of jealous because I've wanted to play 369 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: with this bing dot com slash new. I'm on the 370 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: waiting list, but you already have access or you had access, 371 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: So can you first just explain, Oh, you've got access, okay, 372 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: so you're using it on a daily I mean, Number one, 373 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: it's wild to think that bing could stage a major comeback. 374 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: Is that true? Do you think that could happen at 375 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: this point? 376 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 6: I think it's going to be very hard for being 377 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 6: to capture Google's ninety plus percent of the search engine 378 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 6: market share, but there is a fighting chance. There is 379 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 6: this slight chance that it does capture some of it, 380 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 6: and I think this week. I mean, we don't have 381 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 6: stats yet, but there certainly seems to be a lot 382 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 6: of interest in people saying, hey, I might try out 383 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 6: bing again, which is a pretty big thing. 384 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's words that I didn't think I would say, 385 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: and I tweeted those, and I've been, you know, going 386 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: just like everyone else, to the waiting list and trying 387 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: to get on there and trying to see what they've 388 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: shown off. So a couple of things that they showed off, 389 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: So Number one, better search so their search has more 390 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: relevant results. Because it's infused with this AI. Then they 391 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: also have a way that you can use kind of 392 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: a chatbot that is a better version of chat gpt. 393 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: So can you tell me about that? How did that work? 394 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, so anyone who's used chat chpt knows. Great, you 395 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 6: have this search box type of thing. You type in 396 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 6: anything you really want to have this bot generate or 397 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 6: search for you. The issue with chatchept is that it 398 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 6: doesn't really have knowledge of the modern, current live world. 399 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 6: It's based on a model that was stopped being updated 400 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 6: around two thousand and I think it was twenty twenty one. 401 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 6: So what bing is doing here they're bringing some of 402 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 6: that secret sauce from open Ai, right, They've got a 403 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 6: deep partnership with open Ai. But they're putting the bing 404 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 6: search engine in with it. And so that means that 405 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 6: you can ask BIG's chat bot what they just called 406 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 6: chat really anything about current events about the world, and 407 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 6: it will write back to you. And so this idea 408 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 6: of sort of asking search I mean, we all remember 409 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 6: asked Jeeves. You really can just talk to it in 410 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 6: normal sentences and it writes back to you in normal 411 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 6: sentences that you really would think were written by a human. 412 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: I really feel like the Ask Jeeves people are just 413 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: sitting there, like every one of those engineers that work 414 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: there is just saying, you know, we were onto this 415 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: many many years ago. Now. Ask Jeeves was kind of 416 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: like to me, like a laugh. It was just, you know, 417 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: the answers were not very good, and I had many limitations, 418 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: but they were onto the right thing. I mean, if 419 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: you look at the Google kind of auto complete, so 420 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: many of it or so much of it is like 421 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: written in question form. Like people still ask a lot 422 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: of questions to search engines. 423 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think you sort of think about all 424 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 6: we've learned to sort of hack search engines, right, we 425 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 6: know that this sort of terms the ways we're supposed 426 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 6: to put in things to get the answers we want, 427 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 6: and that's really all trying to just figure out how 428 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 6: do we get the best answer. And so now these 429 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 6: search engines and you're being right now and Google, what 430 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 6: we are promising with bart is that they will have 431 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 6: the natural language processing, the natural language understanding to understand 432 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 6: your deep questions. Really, I mean, I don't know how 433 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 6: deep you want to go on some of these search engines, 434 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 6: but you can kind of just write out that question 435 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 6: and it should respond like you've asked a human for 436 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 6: the answer. 437 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: All right. So Being says since they've applied this AI 438 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: to their core search algorithm, they've had the largest jump 439 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: in relevance in two decades with their search engine ranking. 440 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: So that means that the answers you get in general 441 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: are more accurate and more relevant. Then, like we said, 442 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: you've got this chat area where you can get you know, 443 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: you can ask it things like create me a five 444 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: day itinerary for going to Italy or you know, tell 445 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: me how to prep for a job interview. I mean 446 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: these are examples that being gay. Then you've got the 447 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: Edge browser. They built in some new smarts to that, 448 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: like it can help you write emails and things like that. 449 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, so I actually think this is the biggest announcement 450 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 6: they made because how much time do we spend in 451 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 6: our browser and on different websites and not on the 452 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 6: actual search website. Right, That's probably how we spend most 453 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 6: of our time. And so in the new Microsoft Edge browser, 454 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 6: they have a sidebar. It's called the bing sidebar. You 455 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 6: can click on this and I'm using it right now, 456 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 6: and it has three different tabs. It's got chats so 457 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 6: you can ask sort of the main questions you would 458 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 6: if you went to bing dot com. You can search 459 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 6: through there. You can go to compose, where you can 460 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 6: ask it to compose whatever you wanted to write for you. Really, 461 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 6: if you want to email, a blog, post, social media posts, lists, etc. 462 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 6: And just got a little box in there and you say, 463 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 6: write me an email to my new boss asking I 464 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 6: don't know, for a time to get some coffee. And 465 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 6: then it gives you a little area too, where you 466 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 6: can put in what you want the tone of that 467 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 6: to be. You want it to be professional, you want 468 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 6: it to be funny, you wanted to be enthusiastic, Tell 469 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 6: how long you want it to be short, long, medium, 470 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 6: and hit generate and it's going to write this email 471 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 6: for you, or it's going to write whatever you really 472 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 6: ask it to. And so I think that's sort of 473 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 6: a big game changer here is that you can be 474 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 6: on any website and you can be doing it. Another 475 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 6: really cool trick in this and that I think is 476 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 6: really really useful, though I'm a little bit worried about 477 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 6: my profession, is you can be in an article. You 478 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 6: can say summarize this article, and it will give you 479 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 6: the summary of the article and you can say five 480 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 6: bullet points. 481 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 7: Now I would want to agree that. 482 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean, look, we're going to have to, 483 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: you know, up our game here and somehow differentiate from 484 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: what the AI can do. I mean, it can write scripts, 485 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: it can write you know, it can write articles. It 486 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: really can do a lot. One of the takeaways from 487 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: your video with Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, was 488 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: that he said, in the future, pretty much everyone is 489 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: going to have a working first draft of whatever they need, 490 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: whether that's term paper, a letter, anything, because these AI 491 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: tools can generate them. What did you think about that. 492 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 6: I actually wrote about that quote specifically in my newsletter 493 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 6: yesterday because it's the piece that sort of stuck with 494 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 6: me all week as I was talking to other people 495 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 6: about this announcement. I think it's I think it's right. 496 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 6: I think we all are going to start to interact 497 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 6: with computers in a different way, and we may come 498 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 6: to our computers and the computer might have done something 499 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 6: for us that we used to do with our time, 500 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 6: our own time. But I think there are a couple 501 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 6: of ways that that is just not going to be 502 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 6: as good as humans. And I think that's one of 503 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 6: the main ways, and I think I did ask mister 504 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 6: Nadella about this and various other people at Microsoft, which 505 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 6: is accuracy, right of fact checking and knowing not putting 506 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 6: so much trust in these in this AI system that 507 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 6: it's always got it right. And even so far my 508 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 6: experience using Being and many others in the last couple 509 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 6: of days have shown that it has many inaccurate results. 510 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 6: Now Microsoft is doing a good job at sort of 511 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 6: hedging that they'll say this might be the answer, or 512 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 6: this isn't, this isn't the definitive answer. But still, you know, 513 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 6: people are likely to trust what they read here, and 514 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 6: so we have to as humans, as we're using these tools, 515 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 6: really just become hyper aware of is this true? Like 516 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 6: how do we find a secondary source? How do we 517 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 6: find the primary source to prove that what that thing 518 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 6: told me is actually the answer I want? 519 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: Or And one of the things one of the things 520 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: that these search engines are doing, like the uh, you know, 521 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: the Being, the New Bing and kind of these other 522 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: ones that I've talked about, is that they're giving almost 523 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: like remember when you wrote like a bibliography or like 524 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: the footnotes for your story or a paper you wrote. 525 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: It's almost giving you, like the links to where it 526 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: found this information. 527 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 6: But to me giving you citations. 528 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: Citations, that's the word. But if you have to go 529 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: through and fact check every single thing that this says, 530 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: then isn't that just a lot of work in itself? 531 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: Like you might as well just do the work at 532 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: the beginning? Or is it? I mean, is there just 533 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: easier because it sort of came up with that first 534 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: paragraph that you just have to go through and make 535 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: sure it's okay. Like what if you ask, like who's 536 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: playing in the super Bowl today and it said, here's 537 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: the teams, here's the quarterbacks. Now you've got to go 538 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: and you know, look at all those things and cross 539 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: reference just to make sure it's right. 540 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 6: And that's so that's actually the second point. So I 541 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 6: think accuracy is number one, and I think number two 542 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 6: is speed. Right it these systems, it takes a bit 543 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 6: of time for the for the AI to gather their 544 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 6: results from the web and then to put it into 545 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 6: its words. So for instance, in the video and my 546 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 6: testing that I did at Microsoft, i said, recap the 547 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 6: top winners of the twenty twenty three Grammys, and it 548 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 6: took about a minute for it to flush out the 549 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 6: entire list of that. It wasn't the entire list, but 550 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 6: you know, it summarized I believe, like seven of the 551 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 6: top winners, right. It gave me a sense of the name, 552 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 6: you know, Beyonce, and then gave me a little paragraphs 553 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 6: and did that all the way through. And that's a minute. 554 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 6: You know, in that amount of time, I could have 555 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 6: clicked one of the top links I believe it was 556 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 6: from CNN gone there, skimmed it and said okay, yeah, 557 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 6: I know what I need to know in less than 558 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 6: a minute. So we're going to have to sort of 559 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 6: think about how are we going to use our time, 560 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 6: How long does it take these things to do it 561 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 6: in there time? And where does that make sense? 562 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: But it's also to that point. It's interesting because right now, 563 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: a lot of outlets will write articles saying, here are 564 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: the Grammy winners twenty twenty three, knowing that people go 565 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: to search to ask who are the winners twenty twenty three. 566 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: In the future, they may not write those articles because 567 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: they know that they're not going to get that traffic. 568 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: So this does bring up a lot of kind of 569 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, changes to the way that we think about 570 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: search and the way that we think about knowledge and 571 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 1: information and also access to that. I've got to leave 572 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: it there, Joanna, tell people how to find you. 573 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 6: I mean, you could search my name on Bang and 574 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 6: you could do that, but I will just give you 575 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,959 Speaker 6: and I have it in my newsletter.

Welcome back to rich 593 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: on Tech. My name is rich Demiro. This is the 594 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: show where we talk about technology. If you have a 595 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: question about tech, give me a call. The phone lines 596 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: are open at triple eight rich one oh one. That's 597 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one 598 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: zero one. Let me tell you about some of the 599 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: ways that Google made some announcements this week. When it 600 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: comes to AI, this is a little bit different than 601 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: Search AI, but it kind of all falls into that 602 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: kind of same Lens here. So Google announced three major updates. 603 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: Something that deals with lens, which is their visual search tool, 604 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: something that deals with maps, and something that deals with translation. 605 00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna give you kind of the highlights 606 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: of what I think is the most important announcements that 607 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: they made. So number one, Lens is a really handy 608 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: tool that Google has. It's a visual search tool. So 609 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: if you take a picture of a bug, or a leaf, 610 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: or a dress, it will find that on the internet 611 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: a very similar image and help you, you know, do 612 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: some research and figure out what that image is of. So, 613 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: for instance, if you want to take a picture of 614 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,479 Speaker 1: a dress, you might want to shop that dress at 615 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: a local store, so it can do that. But it 616 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: can also identify an insect. So in the coming months 617 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: they're going to have a new feature with Lens where 618 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: you can search your screen if you have an Android. 619 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: So let's say someone sends you a picture of where 620 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: they are vacationing, and you say, oh, that looks pretty cool. 621 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: You can now just search your screen with Google Lens 622 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: and it will give you the search results based on 623 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: what it sees on your screen. And actually I needed 624 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: this feature the other day, Like I literally was trying 625 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: to do this because I can't remember what I was searching, 626 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: but it was just something on my screen that I 627 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I need to search this. So I 628 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: ended up having to take a screenshot and then putting 629 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: that into Google Lens to search it. But it was 630 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: so much. It'll be so much when you can just 631 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: long press your power button on your Android phone and 632 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: it will do that search. The other thing is that 633 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: Maps is rolling out this new immersive view which is 634 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: gonna be really really cool. So imagine street View, but 635 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: much more three D, so you'll be able to literally 636 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: walk down the streets of a foreign city or you know, 637 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: in this case, London, Los Angeles, New York, and San 638 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: Francisco and Tokyo. Those are the first months that it's 639 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: first cities that it's launching in and then they're going 640 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: to roll out to other cities after that. That is 641 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: an amazing new feature called Immersive View, which I cannot 642 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: wait to get my hands on. And finally, if you 643 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: use Google Translate, whenever you translate something on a sign, 644 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: they're actually gonna blend the letters into the sign better, 645 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: so it literally looks like the sign in front of 646 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: you has just morphed into the language that you can 647 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: read much more easily. All right, Coming up on the show, 648 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about new OnePlus products with jan 649 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: Carlos Bagnell, some gadget guy on YouTube.

I'm gonna talk about 664 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: a new way to stream content for free, but first 665 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: let's go to LURI in Ventura, California. Louri, you are 666 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: on with Rich? Hi? 667 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 3: Rich? 668 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: How you doing any I am doing fantastic. 669 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 9: How are you good? 670 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 8: Good? I'm glad to see you on PLA to great? 671 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,239 Speaker 1: Thank you? Can you tell that I'm broadcasting from a 672 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: remote location in New Jersey, the Garden State? 673 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 9: Seriously? 674 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I know. It's wild. It's so it's so wild 675 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: because I'm so used to TV and there's a lot 676 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: of limitations on TV because you basically go live from 677 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: a certain place and a certain studio. But with radio, 678 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: it kind of is mind boggling because you have the 679 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,959 Speaker 1: ability to go live from pretty much anywhere as long 680 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: as you have a microphone and a connection. So I'm 681 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: still kind of understanding that. But anyway, it's pretty cool 682 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: this weekend. So what's on your mind? 683 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 10: I was wondering what the best shredder is to buy? 684 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: Oh, what are you going to be shredding lots of Uh? 685 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: Do you have a lot of classified information at your place? 686 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 687 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, you do. 688 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: Okay, So it's funny. I used to be a big 689 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: shredder person, and now I just collect my papers and 690 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: bring them to like a place to shred every once 691 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: in a while. But I do think shredders are great 692 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: to have at home there. You know, they could be 693 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: a little dicey sometimes, like don't don't put a tie 694 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: near this thing, or like you know, kids and all that, 695 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,479 Speaker 1: like they are kind of dangerous if they're the heavy 696 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: duty ones. Do you need a heavy duty one? Are 697 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: you just looking for like a standard one? 698 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 6: No, a standard one, I think so. 699 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: Just for like personal like credit card offers that come 700 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: in the mail and stuff like that. 701 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. 702 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: So I'll tell you the two places that I go. Now. 703 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: I like to test products myself, obviously, but when I can't, 704 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: I will go to other folks that test products. And 705 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: two of the websites that I use to do that. 706 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: One is called Wirecutter. Have you heard of that? No? Okay, 707 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 1: So Wirecutter is a great They started out independent many 708 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,439 Speaker 1: many years ago, and recently New York Times bought them, 709 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 1: and they kind of absorb them under their wings, which 710 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: is a great thing for the folks that work there 711 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: because they get more people seeing their stuff. But I 712 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: would search wirecutter and Shredder and see what that comes 713 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: up with. And I'm looking at their top pick. It's 714 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: a Amazon Basics eight sheet high security microcut shredder with 715 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: pull out basket. It's seventy bucks on Amazon. That's their 716 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,879 Speaker 1: number one top pick, and then they have a couple 717 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: other picks there. Now, I also work for a company 718 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: that owns a review website called best Reviews dot com. 719 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: So KTLA's parent company owns a website called best reviews 720 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: dot com, very similar to Wirecutter, where they have a 721 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: whole team of experts that review stuff. And so I 722 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: will cross reference the devices on both of those pages 723 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: and see which one works for me in my price range. So, 724 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: according to them, the best of the best is this 725 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: Fellow's Power shred ninety nine CI. And if you click 726 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: that link, it takes you to Amazon. That is two 727 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty dollars might be more than you want 728 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: to spend. The next one on the list, they say 729 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: best bang for your book is the Aurora High Security 730 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: eight sheet microcut paper credit card Shredder Black. It's got 731 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: sixteen thousand reviews, it is rated at four and a 732 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: half stars, and it is going for forty eight dollars. 733 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: I think that's your winner right there. Does that sound 734 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: like a good price. Yeah. So here's the thing. So 735 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: the way that these companies make money LORI is that 736 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: they get referral links. So every time someone clicks and 737 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: buys one of these products from them, that's how they 738 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: make their money. And so it's called affiliate linking. On 739 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: Amazon or not just Amazon. A lot of major retailers 740 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: participate in this, so it's kind of a win win situation. 741 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: They're editors and you know, their folks do the work. 742 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: They put all these things on the website. They say, 743 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: here's the five things we think are the best, and 744 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: then when you buy one of those things, they make 745 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: a little money. So it's all highly disclosed. It's all 746 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: very on the up and up. It's a pretty common 747 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: practice actually online. But that's kind of the way I 748 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: do it. I will also look at you know, just 749 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: I won't just take their word for it. I will 750 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: also look on Amazon and see kind of the ratings, 751 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: the combination of ratings and stars as well. Looking at 752 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: these these three shredders that I mentioned, they all have many, 753 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: many ratings. By the way, that Amazon basics one, if 754 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: you can believe it, it has twenty two, seven and 755 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: thirty three ratings. That's also seventy dollars. So those are 756 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: the three that I would look at and see which 757 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: one you like the best. And also they go buy 758 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: sheets too, like how many sheets do you want to 759 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: feed into this thing at once? You may say, oh, 760 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: I only need two sheets at a time, but you know, 761 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: once you're doing a lot of stuff, you may want 762 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: more than that. So does that help you out. I'm 763 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 1: going to put all this information on our website at 764 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: richontech dot tv. That's where you can find more information 765 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: about anything that I mentioned here. I'm pretty good at 766 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 1: putting the links there. So thanks for your question, Laurie, 767 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: go find that shredder all right. Let me tell you 768 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: about a new way to stream for free. And it 769 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: gets a little confusing with the free streaming because yes, 770 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: of course you can find pretty much anything you want 771 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: online for free, but not all of it operates in 772 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: a illegal zone. But there are many any websites that 773 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: let you stream real stuff for free. So Sling TV 774 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 1: is now launching one. It's called free Stream. So Sling TV, 775 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, is a paid service and it allows you 776 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: to get you know, popular cable channels on your TV. 777 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: But now they have a section called free Stream which 778 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: lets you access live and on demand TV for free. 779 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: And so this joins other free streaming services out there 780 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: which allow you to watch a whole bunch of stuff. 781 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: And this you can download through the Sling app on Roku, 782 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: also Comcast, LG, Samsung, and Visio and Xbox devices. So 783 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: right now, this is not on the super big platforms 784 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: like the Fire TVs, the Apple TVs, and the Amazon 785 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: Fire Sorry Amazon Fire, Apple TV let me think about this, 786 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: and Chrome Cast. So right now this is pretty much 787 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: limited to Roku, Comcast, LG, Samsung, Visio, and Xbox. But 788 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: the cool thing is you don't need a credit card 789 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: and you don't have to put any payment in. You 790 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: can just watch all this programming. So Sling Free Stream 791 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: has more than two hundred and ten channels with forty 792 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: one thousand on demand titles for free. They've got news, sports, 793 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: game shows, crime dramas, sitcoms, animal stuff, ABC News Live, 794 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: Architectural Digest, Family Feud, CBS News, ESPN on Demand, Rick 795 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: Steve's Europe. That's kind of cool. And all of this, 796 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: again is something that you can experience for free. So 797 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: if you want to experience it, you can find the 798 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: link on my website, richon Tech dot tv, or just 799 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: download the Sling app and look for the free stream. Now, 800 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: if you're looking for other ways to stream free stuff, 801 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of it. You've got Amazon 802 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: free V, which used to be IMDbTV, but that was 803 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: kind of a weird name. So is Amazon FREEB free V. 804 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: But whatever. Pluto TV they sort of started this entire 805 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: trend of free streaming. And I'll never forget having lunch 806 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: with a guy who invented Pluto TV and he pitched 807 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: it to me and I didn't get it at the time. 808 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: I said, I don't understand people are gonna want to 809 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: download an app and watch free stuff, like what about 810 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: just watching on YouTube? And I didn't understand that. You know, 811 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: a couple years later, Viacom would purchase Pluto for many, 812 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,839 Speaker 1: many millions of dollars. But you know, I'm not right 813 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: about everything. Two B is another one of these free 814 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: services where you can watch stuff for free. I believe 815 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: it's owned by Fox. And so you've got Pluto, which 816 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: is CBS Viacom, You've got two B which is Fox, 817 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: and you've got Peacock. They have a free streaming tier 818 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: which I think is going to go away for new users, 819 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: but existing users will still have access. And that's NBC. 820 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: So between all these things, I mean, we're seeing kind 821 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: of a backlash with paid streaming services because people are 822 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: just saying, you know what, I'm spending too much. Netflix 823 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: has gone up in price. YouTube gives me a lot 824 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: of stuff for free. I can get stuff there. HBO Max, 825 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: You've got that costs money every month. I mean, there's 826 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: so many of these streaming services that once you start 827 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: paying for all of them, you might as well just 828 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: have cable TV once again. So we're seeing, you know, 829 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: people were excited about things like Netflix and all these 830 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: other streaming services, and now that they've paid the bill 831 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and the bill just keeps 832 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: going up every you know, two years, every year, whatever 833 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: it is, people are saying, you know what, I'll stick 834 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: with the free stuff. I'll look at ads. I mean, 835 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,760 Speaker 1: it's really like broadcast television. I mean for many years 836 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: broadcast television, that's what it does. You listen for free, 837 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: kind of like the radio that I'm on right now. 838 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you listen for free, you get the information 839 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: you need and then you know a couple of commercials 840 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: for your time. So it's the same thing with these 841 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: streaming services. They get real video products, you know, real 842 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: shows and on demand titles, but they put ads in 843 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: them and that's how they make their money. So again, 844 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: Sling TV, Free V by Amazon, Pluto, Toby, and Peacock, 845 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: those are always that you can watch content for free. 846 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: All right, I have to tell you about this before 847 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: we go to break here. So don't you love it 848 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 1: when you start a book and you're just captivated by 849 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: that book instantly. That's what happened to me recent I 850 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: started So I pulled folks on Twitter because I was 851 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: reading a book that I didn't really like, and so 852 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: I said, I don't know, do I stick with this 853 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: book or do I just let it go? And people 854 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: were like, just let it go. Don't stick with the 855 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: book that you don't like, Like you ever have to 856 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: think about opening the book and reading it, and it's 857 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,439 Speaker 1: just not fun like reading should not be a chore. 858 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: So anyway, I ditched that book. I'm not going to 859 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: tell you the title that one, but I found a 860 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: new one and it's called Upgrade by Blake Crouch. And 861 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,479 Speaker 1: I read one of his other books, which was Dark Matter, 862 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: and they're all kind of sci fi. This one is 863 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: about like a genetic kind of a genetic mutation of 864 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,479 Speaker 1: the human body, and it makes this person. I haven't 865 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: finished it yet, but it's already really good, where this 866 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: guy just keeps getting more and more superhuman powers, which 867 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: you know is a classic story anyway, But the reality 868 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: is I can't put this book down. I love it, 869 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: so anyway, it's kind of fun. I highly recommend it. 870 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 1: I haven't gotten to the end, so maybe it totally 871 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: takes a nose dive after like fifty percent of the book, 872 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: but I can't tell you that just yet because so 873 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: far I'm loving it. So if you want a good book, 874 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 1: Upgrade by Blake Crouch, if you like the sci fi stuff, 875 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm really enjoyed this book. We'll call it Rich's Book Club. 876 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 1: You can read it and tweet me about it, tell 877 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: me what you think about it. And by the way, 878 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 1: if you want to get books for free. There's an 879 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 1: app called Libby, which I highly recommend. L Ibby. There's 880 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: nothing illegal about it. It is an app that connects 881 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: to your local library in your city and you can 882 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: check out electronic books ebooks, and you could even read 883 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: them on your kindle.

Every week, I sort of 896 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: give you a litle update on what I've posted to 897 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: my Instagram account because I'm always enjoying posting these reels. 898 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: So this week, let's see, I posted my ride in 899 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,919 Speaker 1: an electric Oh, this is pretty cool. It's an all 900 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: electric semi truck for UPS. So I think I told 901 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 1: you a couple weeks ago that I took a ride 902 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: in this thing. Well now the story's up so you 903 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: can see what it looks like. It is UPS's first 904 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 1: all electric semi. They're using it in California. They've actually 905 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: got an order of ten of these things, but this 906 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: is the first and I was one of the first 907 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,439 Speaker 1: non employees to ride in it, so that's pretty cool. 908 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: You can check that out on my Instagram at rich 909 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: on Tech. I also posted a video of this new 910 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 1: game called Hot Wheels rift Rally. And if you remember 911 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: the Mario Kart Live game, these were the little cars 912 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: that you could drive around your house and play on 913 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: your switch and augmented reality. Well that same game developer 914 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: has come up with a new Hot Wheels version of that, 915 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 1: so you can check out the video on that. It's 916 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,919 Speaker 1: kind of cool. It's basically, you know what I think 917 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: is neat about it. And I'm trying to get my 918 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: notes here to tell you more about this because I 919 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: might as well since I already mentioned it. But I 920 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 1: did a story on KTLA about this this week. But 921 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: Rift Rally is kind of a mixed reality racing game, 922 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: so It involves a radio controlled car like a physical car, 923 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: but it also blends the virtual world. So you play 924 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: this car, you kind of set up a course around 925 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 1: your living room, and the car has a camera on top, 926 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: so you see your living room on your gaming console, 927 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 1: but you also see like an augmented reality world kind 928 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,360 Speaker 1: of virtually laid on top of your living room. So 929 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: like just to put that, you know, in an easier 930 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: to understand terms. You're driving around your living room, but 931 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: it looks like a racetrack with like really cool things 932 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 1: happening all around you, and it's just really fun. So 933 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: the game is one hundred and thirty dollars, so I 934 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: think is a little pricey. I think they priced it 935 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: at one thirty so that maybe by the holidays it'll 936 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: go down to like one hundred and that way, you know, 937 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 1: I feel like that's more reasonable because you're getting a 938 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 1: physical toy as well the game, and as far as 939 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: I know, they said, there's no in app purchases in 940 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,919 Speaker 1: the game, so you can unlock more of these hot 941 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: Wheels cars as you play the game. More so it's 942 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: a really cool little experience. The other thing to know 943 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 1: about this game is that it's available now on iOS 944 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 1: devices and also PlayStation four and five. So the big 945 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: thing about Mario Kart Live is that it was only 946 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: available if you had a switch, a Nintendo switch was 947 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 1: you know, that was the only way to play it. Now, 948 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: the fact that this can be played on an iPhone 949 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: or an iPad or you know, a PlayStation, I think 950 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: really opens up this game to many more people experiencing this. 951 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: So it's really fun. I had a blast with it. 952 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, it could get a little 953 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: repetitive to play this over and over, but there's a 954 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 1: lot of different levels and things that you unlock, so 955 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the fun of it. Anyway, 956 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: Hot Wheels Rift Rally if you want to check it 957 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 1: out on my Instagram at rich on Tech. The game 958 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 1: launches on March fourteenth, twenty twenty three, So I think 959 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: that'll be a pretty hot gift this year. All right, 960 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 1: let's go to Chris in West Covina. Chris dialed up 961 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 1: the number at eighty eight Rich one oh one, Chris, 962 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: you're on with rich Hey, Rich, how you doing. I'm 963 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: doing fantastic. 964 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 9: How are you I'm doing well? 965 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 8: Thank you? 966 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 1: What can I help you out? 967 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 8: I have a question I'm trying to help my sister. 968 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 10: She has an older Smart TV and she's trying and. 969 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 9: She has the Amazon Firestick and. 970 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 10: I'm trying to get the Spectrum TV app on. 971 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 9: Her Firestick, but it's not available. 972 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: Is there a workaround it's not supported? Huh no, So 973 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,320 Speaker 1: Spectrum TV app, I'm trying to look at the website 974 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 1: here to see. Okay. So it's got Xbox iOS, Roku, Samsung, 975 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 1: Apple TV, Chrome Cast, and Android. Interesting. Okay, so it's 976 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: very odd that they don't support fire TV because they 977 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: do Roku, they do Apple TV. It seems like fire 978 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 1: TV is a is a major missing piece here, right hmm. Okay, 979 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 1: So I mean there is a way that you you know, 980 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: fire TV runs Android, and it looks like they have 981 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 1: an Android app, so you could sideload this. Have you 982 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: heard of the term sideloading. 983 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 9: That's using? 984 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 11: Is that using the downloaders? 985 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 10: Yeah? 986 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like an app you can get called downloader. 987 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 1: Have you tried that? 988 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:26,399 Speaker 10: Yes? 989 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 5: So I've done that on my fire Stick, but I 990 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 5: haven't done it on her, so I'll have to get that. 991 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: Okay. So the basic, you know, the basic way you 992 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,879 Speaker 1: do it is you download this downloader app that will 993 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: enable you to download what's called an APK. So that's 994 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,920 Speaker 1: basically just the you know, like you said, you've already 995 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 1: done this, so that's that's kind of the program file 996 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 1: for Android is called APK. It's kind of like if 997 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 1: you have a Windows computer, it's an ex file. If 998 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,839 Speaker 1: you're on a Mac, it's a d MG file. It's 999 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: just the way the program runs on that computer or 1000 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: that device. And so this downloader app will allow you 1001 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 1: to reach out and grab the APK for the Spectrum app, 1002 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,760 Speaker 1: and then you have to allow it to install stuff 1003 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: from unknown sources. So there is a little bit of 1004 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: a level of security risk here in case you get 1005 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: an APK that's bad or you know, but this is 1006 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,239 Speaker 1: a streaming TV stick. I don't think it's gonna be 1007 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: that big of a deal. But that's the best way. 1008 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 8: Now. 1009 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,880 Speaker 1: The other thing to know is that it may not 1010 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: function properly because it wasn't specifically written for this platform. 1011 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: So if your sister that you're helping out, you know, 1012 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 1: she may experience some issues with this app running, but 1013 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 1: I think, you know, it'll probably be fine. So is 1014 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:37,560 Speaker 1: that something you think you. 1015 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,719 Speaker 9: Could do for Yeah, I think so. Now my other 1016 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 9: question regarding that security and pulling that that ATK file. 1017 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta run, can you hang on? 1018 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:51,919 Speaker 8: Okay? 1019 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,479 Speaker 1: I got to run to a commercial break. You're listening 1020 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. We'll have more of the show, 1021 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 1: including a talk about new one plus products coming up 1022 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back to rich on Tech. My name 1023 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: is rich Demiro, and this is the show where we 1024 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: talk about technology and answer your questions. Phone lines are 1025 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: open at one eight eight eight rich one oh one 1026 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two, four to 1027 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: one zero one. I do my best to post links 1028 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:24,880 Speaker 1: to anything I talk about on my website Richontech dot tv, 1029 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,240 Speaker 1: and of course you can find me on social media 1030 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: at rich on Tech. That's a lot of rich on 1031 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: Tech all Right. Before the break, I was talking to Chris. 1032 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: He was asking about uh putting an app on his 1033 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: fire TV stick, specifically his sisters that they didn't offer. 1034 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 1: So we talked about sideloading, which is putting an app 1035 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: on there that is not necessarily supported. So there are 1036 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: some security risks in doing that, and I mentioned that 1037 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: to him, and his second question before we had to 1038 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 1: go to break was that he wanted to know if 1039 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: there was a safe place to get these programs, and 1040 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: so the website that I typically use is called ap 1041 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: k me dot com. Now this is kind of advanced stuff. 1042 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: I would not recommend doing this if you don't know 1043 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: what you're doing with your device, because there is always 1044 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 1: a security risk when you are installing an app on 1045 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 1: your device that is outside of Google Play. So just 1046 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: be very careful, tread carefully if you know what you're doing. Yeah, 1047 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 1: you can trust this stuff, but that's that's probably the 1048 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 1: most trusted platform for these APKs if you want to 1049 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 1: get him from there, Chris, all right, let's bring on 1050 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: one Carlos Bagnell. He is some gadget guy on YouTube. 1051 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:35,040 Speaker 1: He does fantastic reviews all kinds of stuff, including audio devices, smartphones. 1052 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 1: He's a friend of mine as well, and I've been 1053 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 1: watching his stuff for a long time because he had 1054 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: a great attitude about things and he's very fair. One. 1055 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 9: Welcome to the show, Hey, Rich, thanks for having me on. 1056 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,880 Speaker 1: Hey, let's talk about these OnePlus devices. OnePlus is a 1057 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: brand that when they came out, they really made a 1058 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 1: mark in this world because they just had such great software. 1059 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,280 Speaker 1: They had a lot of features at a pretty low price. 1060 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,279 Speaker 1: And now we are on the one plus eleven smartphone. 1061 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 1: They also unveiled one Plus buds Pro two. Those are 1062 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 1: earbuds and a one plus pad, which is sort of 1063 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 1: their version of an iPad. So let's start with the 1064 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,720 Speaker 1: one plus eleven smartphone. What are your impressions of this device? 1065 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think this is a very good return to 1066 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 9: form for one Plus. They started out sort of developing 1067 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 9: this reputation as being a flagship killer, all of this 1068 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 9: great performance with a few small compromises, but for much 1069 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 9: lower prices. In years past, they've had a split strategy 1070 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 9: where they've released sort of a normal phone and then 1071 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 9: a more expensive pro phone, and this year I think 1072 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 9: they're trying to work back to trying to streamline that 1073 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 9: user experience. 1074 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 10: There's only one main premiere model. 1075 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 9: Of the phone coming out, and it's a very high 1076 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,200 Speaker 9: performance device that I think I think a lot of 1077 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 9: the enthusiasts out there are really going to like kind 1078 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 9: of undercutting Samsung's base model and an iPhone base model, 1079 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,319 Speaker 9: but without having to give up too much to get 1080 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 9: that performance at a much lower price. 1081 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're talking to price tag starting at six 1082 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 1: ninety nine. Top of the line has sixteen gigs of memory. 1083 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,799 Speaker 1: They say you can have up to forty four applications 1084 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 1: running in the background. It's got a five thousand million 1085 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,360 Speaker 1: hour battery, which is really nice. It charges super fast 1086 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,359 Speaker 1: eighty watts of charging. So one plus has always been 1087 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,600 Speaker 1: known for like really fast and speedy charging. But of course, 1088 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,280 Speaker 1: like you said, sometimes there are some downsides to these devices, 1089 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 1: and with this device, you don't get wireless charging, but 1090 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,919 Speaker 1: with such fast charging, you probably don't need it. They're 1091 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 1: also promising that you're gonna get four major oxygen Os 1092 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,280 Speaker 1: updates that's their operating system, and five years of security updates. 1093 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,320 Speaker 1: It's a six point seven inch screen. There's a Dolby 1094 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:49,800 Speaker 1: head tracking for you know, at most audio three cameras. 1095 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: Tell me about the cameras. That's really what everyone wants 1096 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: to know about. 1097 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 9: I don't want to overlook the charging. This is incredible 1098 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 9: charging and it's the fastest charging standard available in North America. 1099 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 9: So while I totally appreciate some folks are going to 1100 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 9: be frustrated by the lack of wireless charging. Literally, a 1101 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,759 Speaker 9: couple minutes plugged in will give you eight days worth 1102 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 9: of runtime. That's one of the major hallmark features on 1103 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,600 Speaker 9: the one plus. But the cameras are very competitive. This 1104 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,839 Speaker 9: is one of the areas where we stepped back from 1105 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,360 Speaker 9: some of the more exotic features from last year's Premium 1106 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,320 Speaker 9: one Plus. They had super slow motion four K video 1107 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 9: one hundred and twenty frame per second that all of 1108 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,440 Speaker 9: those really really fancy photography uses. This year, it's a 1109 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 9: more mainstream kind of option that's hitting their camera tech 1110 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 9: directly against Apple and Samsung. We've got very good camera sensors. 1111 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 9: They have a partnership with Hasselblod, the camera manufacturer that 1112 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,879 Speaker 9: I think has really stepped up their camera game over 1113 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 9: the last couple of years and getting great HDR performance 1114 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,799 Speaker 9: and getting very good video performance. It's an all rounder. 1115 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 9: It's a very fun point and shoot solution. And again, 1116 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 9: like you were saying, at those prices, we're looking at 1117 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 9: something that's undercutting the comparable Galaxy S twenty three plus 1118 00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,320 Speaker 9: by two or three hundred dollars. 1119 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And most of the reviews that I saw people 1120 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 1: were like, Wow, I'm surprised, like this brings one plus 1121 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 1: back to kind of like what we love and I've 1122 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,320 Speaker 1: always loved the software on the one Plus is is 1123 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 1: right up there with the Pixel if not better, because 1124 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,839 Speaker 1: they add a bunch of like very useful features, kind 1125 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: of like Samsung, but not as blody, you know what 1126 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:28,319 Speaker 1: I mean. 1127 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely, this is going to be an interesting year 1128 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,359 Speaker 9: because this is our first full year with this new 1129 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,960 Speaker 9: skin that they've got running on top of their phone, 1130 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 9: and I will be kind of curious to see how 1131 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 9: it ages. But I would say this is one of 1132 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 9: the most beautifully animated phones, the way that it handles 1133 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 9: transitions that moves you between your apps, and then, like 1134 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 9: you were saying, we've got a bunch of really interesting 1135 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 9: that they're not familiar, like if you're used to a 1136 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,400 Speaker 9: Samsung or if you're used to a Pixel, these phones 1137 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 9: perform in a slightly different way. Things like you do 1138 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 9: your ultitasking gesture if you slide towards the top of 1139 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 9: the screen, will then immediately take that app into a 1140 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,279 Speaker 9: mini floating window. If you're not familiar with that, that 1141 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 9: can be a little jarring, like oh, what did it 1142 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,319 Speaker 9: just do to this app? But once you get used 1143 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,839 Speaker 9: to it, I love it for things like notes.

I really appreciate that at these 1147 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,800 Speaker 9: lower prices, they're also looking at that longer term commitment, 1148 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,240 Speaker 9: the multiple operating system updates and then also five years 1149 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 9: of security patches. They're trying to put a lot of 1150 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,840 Speaker 9: base behind this product that they're looking to have a 1151 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,400 Speaker 9: long term relationship with their customers. 1152 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,719 Speaker 1: All right, on sale February sixteenth.

Now 1155 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: we've got to talk about these one plus buds Pro too. 1156 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 1: I am in love with the first version of these. 1157 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 1: I also like the Nord Buds, which are like forty bucks. 1158 00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 1: These are one hundred and seventy nine. But they're pretty 1159 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 1: much the AirPods Pro for the Android user. Don't would 1160 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 1: you not agree with that? I mean, you're much more 1161 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 1: of an audio guy than I am. 1162 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 9: Well, hopefully they're doing well in terms of call quality 1163 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 9: because I'm using them as we speak. 1164 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: Well, there you go. I mean, I think that's a 1165 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 1: pretty good indication. That's impressive. 1166 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 9: So I think you're absolutely spot on. One Plus is 1167 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 9: definitely drawing some inspiration from the AirPods Pro, but they're 1168 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 9: still approaching some novel and unique technology. They've got a 1169 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 9: really fun, juicy, vibrant dual driver, the little mechanisms that 1170 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 9: actually create the sound. 1171 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 10: They're using these. 1172 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 9: Two little drivers that work together to really flesh out 1173 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 9: some base response, some fun troubled response. They're a very 1174 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 9: fun ear budd to listen to music and watch movies on. 1175 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 9: But they're matching AirPods Pro almost spec for spec per spect. 1176 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 9: It's multipairings. You can connect two devices at the same time, 1177 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 9: instant quick pairings in the case, and the phone will 1178 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 9: automatically see the air the earbuds so that you can 1179 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 9: try and connect to them. And not just spatial audio, 1180 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 9: but like you mentioned before, support for head tracking. You 1181 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 9: can play a piece of music or you can watch 1182 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 9: a movie from your phone and the earbuds will remember 1183 00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 9: your position in space that as you turn it really 1184 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 9: feels like you're listening on surround soound speakers. I can't 1185 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 9: find any single feature where there isn't a match for 1186 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:33,240 Speaker 9: the AirPods Pro two, and they're arriving at sixty dollars 1187 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 9: less than what Apple is the selling the AirPods two Core. 1188 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, these are the one plus buds Pro two 1189 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 1: They go on sell February sixteenth at for one hundred 1190 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: and seventy nine dollars. I've been using them. I've been 1191 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: using them on the plane and they were fantastic, and 1192 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 1: I love the way they fit in my ears. So 1193 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 1: there's many earbuds out there that kind of like just 1194 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 1: fall out these they feel like they're magnetized into your ears. 1195 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: They're so good. I really think one plus knocked it 1196 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 1: out of the park with these. With this one plus 1197 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 1: buds pro too, so I'm glad. 1198 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 9: You What I really like about that is everybody's going 1199 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 9: to have different fit, you know, what they're comfortable with. 1200 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 9: I think these are one of the best options I've 1201 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 9: ever tried that are statlow.

My sister is over in Port 1267 01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:38,920 Speaker 8: Saint Lucy, Florida, and all of a sudden, I can't 1268 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,600 Speaker 8: even call her or get. 1269 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 1: Checkt from her, And what's happening?

I all of a sudden 1274 01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,920 Speaker 8: today is this happened? And I've already talked to the 1275 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:05,160 Speaker 8: Mint people and I really don't know what else to do. 1276 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 8: I've talked to them three times already and they have 1277 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 8: not been able to They tried to readjust things. They 1278 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 8: had me turn it off and take the SIM out 1279 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,880 Speaker 8: and kind of dust it off and put it back. 1280 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 1: And I did the old dust off the SIM card trick. 1281 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:29,920 Speaker 1: Huh didn't work? No, that's wild. Okay, Well, this is 1282 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 1: very frustrating. Is that only your sister that it doesn't 1283 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 1: work with? Or is it everyone? 1284 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 8: It's looking like my sister is the only victim of this. 1285 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 1: Okay. Does your sister use an iPhone? 1286 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 7: She does? 1287 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:45,040 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1288 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 1: Okay, Here's what I think is happening. I think that 1289 01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:52,800 Speaker 1: the somehow I message is messing with this message to you. 1290 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 1: Did you ever previously have an iPhone? 1291 01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 8: Never? 1292 01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,920 Speaker 1: Okay, So here's what I would do too. Okay, So 1293 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 1: a couple of things that I would do to figure 1294 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 1: this out. Now, if Mint couldn't get this to work, 1295 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I can, but this is how 1296 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 1: I would troubleshoo. So did Mint go through and make 1297 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 1: sure all the sort of what's called apns are correct? 1298 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:13,480 Speaker 1: Did they go through that with you? 1299 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:15,560 Speaker 2: Uh? 1300 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,000 Speaker 8: I'm not quite sure what they did. They gave me 1301 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,680 Speaker 8: a whole bunch of letters, and I read off a 1302 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,280 Speaker 8: whole bunch of numbers, and they did something that took 1303 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 8: fifteen minutes, and I had to turn it up and 1304 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 8: put it back on, and I did, but it still 1305 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:31,920 Speaker 8: didn't do anything. 1306 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 1: Did they have you text set up to sixty seven hundred? 1307 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 8: No, No, they do. 1308 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 1: So that's the first thing I try. So basically, whenever 1309 01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,160 Speaker 1: you have like an MV and zero on an unlocked phone, 1310 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,720 Speaker 1: which sounds like you have, sometimes the settings for the 1311 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:52,360 Speaker 1: Internet and messaging could get a little messed up. And 1312 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 1: so it just depends on how the phone is set 1313 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 1: up the SIM card, if it automatically configures or not. 1314 01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 1: It sounds like in this case it was configured proper 1315 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 1: and then at some point you lost that proper configuration. 1316 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 1: Now the fact that it's only happening with your sister 1317 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 1: concerns me because it sounds like it could be an 1318 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:12,520 Speaker 1: isolated Android to iPhone issue, which is very frustrating. Of course, 1319 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 1: so the steps that I would take, Number one, the 1320 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,400 Speaker 1: easiest thing to do. If all of your other texts 1321 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: and your picture messaging and all that is coming through, 1322 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:25,280 Speaker 1: then I would ask your sister to delete any text 1323 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 1: threads that involve you on her phone, and then restart 1324 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 1: her phone and then try sending a new text directly 1325 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: to you. That is the first step I would take. 1326 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,640 Speaker 1: And the reason is because sometimes the iPhone gets caught 1327 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 1: up in just a little weird situation with kind of 1328 01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:48,480 Speaker 1: a challenge between a standard text message and an I message, 1329 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 1: and it gets confused sometimes, and so if you delete 1330 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,920 Speaker 1: that entire thread, that may just trigger Okay, we know 1331 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 1: this is an Android phone, we know this as standard SMS. 1332 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,800 Speaker 1: Let's send it this way and hope it goes through. 1333 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 1: So that is the first thing I would try, Okay, 1334 01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:05,959 Speaker 1: and then yeah, go ahead. 1335 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 8: And I couldn't. I just didn't go through. And I 1336 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 8: and she had just sent me the text, and I 1337 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:16,200 Speaker 8: know she had the phone in her hands, so I'm 1338 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:17,640 Speaker 8: not sure what's going on. 1339 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 1: And what about the phone call that doesn't go through either? 1340 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,160 Speaker 8: No, it didn't. Oh, I got her home number, I'll 1341 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 8: try that instead, but I couldn't get a hold of 1342 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 8: her on her cell phone. 1343 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So what I would do is I would definitely, 1344 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, do the first step that I mentioned, have 1345 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 1: her delete everything, and then after that I would go through. 1346 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 1: I would text that set up to sixty seven hundred, 1347 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,800 Speaker 1: and then once you get that, you'll get a text 1348 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 1: back from Mint. You can click that text and it 1349 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: should automatically configure your phone and that will kind of 1350 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,920 Speaker 1: reset the settings and make sure everything works right. And 1351 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:57,840 Speaker 1: then once you do that, I would restart your phone 1352 01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 1: as well. But the reality is, you know, sometimes these 1353 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 1: things happen if for some reason, it seems to happen 1354 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 1: with text messaging a lot, especially from iPhone to Android 1355 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:11,440 Speaker 1: and sometimes Android to iPhone, but more mostly you know, 1356 01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 1: it's just it's something that's going on with the configuration 1357 01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,000 Speaker 1: of the messages, either on your end or on her 1358 01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 1: iPhone that's just not recognizing it. So those are the 1359 01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,360 Speaker 1: steps that I would take, Lauria, it's very frustrating. The 1360 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,040 Speaker 1: other thing you might try to do is go into 1361 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,400 Speaker 1: your settings and under your connections there should be a 1362 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,880 Speaker 1: toggle for Wi Fi calling and texting. You might try 1363 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,800 Speaker 1: toggling that on and off. So I would toggle it 1364 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 1: on if it's not on, and then try sending her 1365 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 1: a text. And then I would toggle it off if 1366 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: it's on, and then try sending her a text. So again, 1367 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,600 Speaker 1: these are all of the kind of the methods I 1368 01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:49,320 Speaker 1: would use to troubleshoot the situation, but again very frustrating. 1369 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,280 Speaker 1: And I remember my mom had a problem with her 1370 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,920 Speaker 1: phone where the simcard was saying, you know, like it 1371 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,800 Speaker 1: wasn't seeded properly. And now my mom is not the 1372 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: type that's gonna sit there and like push a SIM 1373 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,400 Speaker 1: card with a paper clip. And yet somehow I got 1374 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,600 Speaker 1: her to do that, and we took out the SIM card, 1375 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,160 Speaker 1: like you said, we kind of you know, polished it 1376 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 1: off a little bit, put it back into the phone, 1377 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,520 Speaker 1: reseated it, and it seemed to work. But she was 1378 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,560 Speaker 1: very proud of herself for doing that. I remember specifically 1379 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,880 Speaker 1: being outside on my back patio and just like walking 1380 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,719 Speaker 1: my mom through this and kind of laughing, just thinking 1381 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 1: to myself, like what world am I living in where 1382 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm walking my mom through taking a SIM card out 1383 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,080 Speaker 1: of a phone and resetting it. It's just like stuff that, 1384 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,759 Speaker 1: you know, the average person never really thinks about doing. 1385 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:35,880 Speaker 1: And now, of course, many of the new phones have 1386 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,600 Speaker 1: moved to e sims, which love the mer hatim. I 1387 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,799 Speaker 1: actually think there's a lot of advantages to that because 1388 01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 1: now the whole sort of SIM situation is much more 1389 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,720 Speaker 1: digital and electronics. You don't have a physical SIM card 1390 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 1: in the new iPhone. It's just not even a thing anymore. 1391 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:52,559 Speaker 1: All right, you're listening to rich on Tech.

Thanks for 1399 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 1: joining me. Rich Demiro, tech reporter at KTLA Channel five 1400 01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:26,000 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, coming to you from across the country today. Well, 1401 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: depending on where you're listening, I guess it could be anywhere. 1402 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:32,360 Speaker 1: But I'm in New Jersey here for my brother's housewarming 1403 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,759 Speaker 1: party and maybe a little Super Bowl celebration as well. 1404 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 1: So kind of a fun first remote show. It's the 1405 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,200 Speaker 1: first time I've done something like this on the radio. Well, 1406 01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's only been six shows, so I mean, yeah, 1407 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,760 Speaker 1: it has to start somewhere though, right Anyway, it's been 1408 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I hope there have not been 1409 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 1: too many hiccups for you listening. I think It's gone 1410 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,439 Speaker 1: pretty well and I'm ready to do it again. Where 1411 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,599 Speaker 1: should I go next? I don't know. Now that I've 1412 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 1: unlocked this oyster, it's kind of fun. I'm looking up 1413 01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,559 Speaker 1: some fun facts about New Jersey since I'm here. This 1414 01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,680 Speaker 1: is where I grew up, by the way, but uh, 1415 01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, of course I learned about New Jersey as 1416 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 1: a kid, but you kind of forget. But I love 1417 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:12,120 Speaker 1: this fact. It has seven major shopping malls in a 1418 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 1: square mile. I don't know if that's true or not, 1419 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 1: but we are as Why is New Jersey known for 1420 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 1: shopping malls? There's just like a lot of malls. I 1421 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,040 Speaker 1: mean growing up as a kid, I went to the mall. 1422 01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 1: That's where we hung out, you know, as teens, we 1423 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,519 Speaker 1: hung out going to the mall. And I don't know 1424 01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 1: do you kids still do that? Maybe? Anyway, if you 1425 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: have a question you want to ask me, my phone 1426 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:34,080 Speaker 1: number is one eight eight eight rich one oh one 1427 01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:36,639 Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four to one 1428 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,120 Speaker 1: zero one. By the way. On the way over here, 1429 01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 1: this is this is just me. But you know, I 1430 01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,679 Speaker 1: I you know, I really think about stuff a lot, 1431 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 1: like maybe too much. But on the way over here, 1432 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 1: I was doing my research on where to sit on 1433 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 1: the plane, and of course I go to seakguru dot com. 1434 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:57,160 Speaker 1: Have you gone to this website seekguru dot com. It 1435 01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,760 Speaker 1: basically lists a map of your airplane and then it 1436 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:02,800 Speaker 1: shows you the best seats to sit in. Now, I'm 1437 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,120 Speaker 1: not talking like first class, like if you're paying for 1438 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,160 Speaker 1: first class, you're always getting a good seat. But I'm 1439 01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 1: talking about like the rest of the plane, because some 1440 01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,240 Speaker 1: seats are not as good as others. And so if 1441 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,799 Speaker 1: you look at just sort of a you know, United 1442 01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 1: Airlines or American Airlines, there's a bunch of different seats 1443 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 1: in there, and some may be good. So let me 1444 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,040 Speaker 1: just go through here. So like C eight L, which 1445 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 1: is in business class. By the way, it's a live 1446 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,759 Speaker 1: flat seat, but the proximity to the lavatory in galley 1447 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,519 Speaker 1: maybe bothersome, so that's marked as a yellow seat. You 1448 01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,719 Speaker 1: don't want to sit there. Then there's a red seat 1449 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 1: in first class. It's a standard business class seat, but 1450 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,559 Speaker 1: it's missing a window. So if you paid all this 1451 01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,000 Speaker 1: money for a business class seat and then you sit 1452 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 1: down and you have no window, you might be upset, 1453 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:51,320 Speaker 1: Like my kid wanted a window on the plane. Then 1454 01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,760 Speaker 1: you've got some green seats, which are you know, this 1455 01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 1: is a premium plus seat. It's got more leg room 1456 01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,200 Speaker 1: because it's a bulkhead seat. Bulkhead is when you have 1457 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,280 Speaker 1: no road in front of you. It's just like that 1458 01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 1: wall in the plane in front of you. So that's 1459 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,160 Speaker 1: the bulkhead that used to be one of my favorite 1460 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,200 Speaker 1: seats on the plane. And then of course you have 1461 01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,839 Speaker 1: just standard seats and yellow and red and green. So anyway, 1462 01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,679 Speaker 1: seatguru dot com if you want to check out where 1463 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,400 Speaker 1: to sit on your next flight. I know some people 1464 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 1: might think that's a little bit over the top. I don't. 1465 01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,040 Speaker 1: I've been flying for many years, and you know there 1466 01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,720 Speaker 1: are better seats on the plane. Then you know, some 1467 01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,599 Speaker 1: seats are just better than others. So you look up 1468 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 1: your plane that you're gonna be on, or you can 1469 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,320 Speaker 1: look up your flight. It'll give you the plane number, 1470 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 1: and then you can, you know, go to this website 1471 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,760 Speaker 1: and pop it in and see where to sit. I 1472 01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,720 Speaker 1: put way too much work into this, and then they 1473 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,400 Speaker 1: ended up swapping out the airplane, which is kind of funny. 1474 01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: So after all the work I put in looking up 1475 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,759 Speaker 1: where to sit on the plane, we got to the airport, 1476 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,240 Speaker 1: and they said, oh, by the way, we swapped out 1477 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 1: the plane for a different one. They ended up switching 1478 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: it out for a better plane, so I ended up 1479 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,040 Speaker 1: getting an even better seat than the one that I 1480 01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,720 Speaker 1: had picked. Anyway, none of that matters to you right now, 1481 01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,720 Speaker 1: except to know the website seat guru dot com.

So how old 1501 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:55,599 Speaker 1: is this Apple TV? 1502 01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 10: It's the new one?

Okay, 1506 01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,400 Speaker 1: well it sounds like, you know, it's definitely some sort 1507 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:13,760 Speaker 1: of like software issue because it works nicely on the 1508 01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,400 Speaker 1: other side. So on the Samsung side it works perfectly. 1509 01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 1: So I here's what I would do, and these are 1510 01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, I always give you kind of the the 1511 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,040 Speaker 1: things that I would do, the steps that I would take. 1512 01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 1: Number one, do you know how to close out an 1513 01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 1: app on the Apple TV? 1514 01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 9: Yes? 1515 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:29,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so have you tried that? And when you do 1516 01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:30,920 Speaker 1: that what happens? 1517 01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 10: Yeah? Close that all the app where you open them 1518 01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:34,280 Speaker 10: up and swipe up. 1519 01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, So just let me explain just again, let 1520 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:40,960 Speaker 1: me just explain how to do that. If you have 1521 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,479 Speaker 1: an Apple TV, you basically it's like pretty much you 1522 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 1: swipe or you double click on like the center of 1523 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 1: the of the clickwheel, and then it should like make 1524 01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 1: all of your apps look a little bit smaller, and 1525 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,799 Speaker 1: then you can just swipe left or right to select 1526 01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 1: an app and then swipe up to get rid of 1527 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:56,640 Speaker 1: that app and that closes it out. Most of the 1528 01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,360 Speaker 1: time you don't have to do that, but sometimes you do. Okay, 1529 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,200 Speaker 1: So if that's doesn't work to close out the app, 1530 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 1: that's called a force quit, and that usually kind of 1531 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 1: you know, closes the app out and then you can 1532 01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:07,559 Speaker 1: open it back up. It kind of restarts it makes 1533 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 1: it work properly. Again, if that's not working, have you 1534 01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,600 Speaker 1: tried deleting the YouTube app and reinstalling it? 1535 01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:17,360 Speaker 7: I have actually in it. 1536 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 10: That's the exact same thing. 1537 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,759 Speaker 1: Are you running some sort of ad blocker on your network? 1538 01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:27,920 Speaker 10: No, nothing special, no VPN Nope. 1539 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:33,800 Speaker 1: Okay, well, hmm, that's a good one. I don't know. 1540 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,639 Speaker 1: I mean, the thing is it should you know you've 1541 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,200 Speaker 1: if you've deleted it and reinstalled it. Now, have you 1542 01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:42,760 Speaker 1: deleted the YouTube app, restarted the Apple TV and then 1543 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:44,080 Speaker 1: reinstalled the YouTube app? 1544 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,040 Speaker 10: Uh? 1545 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,720 Speaker 1: Okay, That's what I would do, because there are some 1546 01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 1: remnants to these apps that are left behind when you 1547 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:57,040 Speaker 1: uninstall them that if you're just uninstalling and reinstalling, it 1548 01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 1: may just right over the old app, and so there 1549 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 1: could still be some lingering problems. That's what I think, 1550 01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,960 Speaker 1: after hearing all these different things that you've troubleshoot. I 1551 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: think that that is the last thing to do and 1552 01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:11,439 Speaker 1: figure out. So what I would do is go in 1553 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,920 Speaker 1: delete the YouTube app and then restart the Apple TV 1554 01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:17,400 Speaker 1: by pulling the cord or just restarting it however you 1555 01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,880 Speaker 1: do that, and then letting it warn back up, install 1556 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:23,719 Speaker 1: the app again, see if it happens, and I would 1557 01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 1: hope that that would clear out all the fragments and 1558 01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,960 Speaker 1: and you know junk that may be lingering on this 1559 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:32,200 Speaker 1: install that is causing it to hiccup like this, and 1560 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:33,479 Speaker 1: hopefully that will fix it. 1561 01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:35,600 Speaker 10: Alrighty s, I do appreciate that. 1562 01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 1: Hope I'll get that try today, all right, Jeff, Hey, 1563 01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:40,479 Speaker 1: I was talking about the electric semi earlier. Would you 1564 01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:41,120 Speaker 1: ever drive one? 1565 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,840 Speaker 10: Or no? I wouldn't mind driving them. I wouldn't want 1566 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:46,880 Speaker 10: to be followed by one on the road that doesn't 1567 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:47,720 Speaker 10: have a driver in it. 1568 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I guess that's next, right, that's what's that's 1569 01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:55,080 Speaker 1: what's uh oh man, Well, I don't think it's going 1570 01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:57,960 Speaker 1: to happen. I think you'll be okay for for a 1571 01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,200 Speaker 1: while because I don't think that's going to happen right way. 1572 01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,479 Speaker 1: And they're doing mostly short distances with that kind of 1573 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 1: things that are you know, more like figured out in advance. 1574 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:09,519 Speaker 10: Right.

But I haven't seen anything. 1578 01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:21,200 Speaker 10: I haven't looked for on YouTube or up like that. 1579 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,640 Speaker 10: But I just heard the driver's talking about it. But 1580 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 10: truck drivers like Krisherman, they've all get their stories. 1581 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure you have plenty, and now you've got 1582 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,400 Speaker 1: something to look up on YouTube when you get this 1583 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,160 Speaker 1: back up and running.

That is ten dollars 1590 01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 1: more than the typical price for new Nintendo games that 1591 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,280 Speaker 1: are sort of the top of the line games, right, 1592 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,679 Speaker 1: They used to be fifty nine to ninety nine. Now 1593 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:02,280 Speaker 1: we've also seen pricing preases on Sony games for the 1594 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:05,800 Speaker 1: PlayStation and also games for the Xbox. So what does 1595 01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:09,360 Speaker 1: this mean. This means that now that the sort of 1596 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,479 Speaker 1: barrier has been broken for that sixty nine to ninety 1597 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,559 Speaker 1: nine price point, you can bet that other big name 1598 01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:18,800 Speaker 1: games for the Nintendo Switch are now going to cost more. 1599 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,439 Speaker 1: So that's just kind of the way things are right now. 1600 01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:23,759 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about you, but I'm getting 1601 01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:26,080 Speaker 1: all these emails about prices going up on just about 1602 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,680 Speaker 1: everything that I've purchased in the past, or subscriptions that 1603 01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 1: I have, And now the Nintendo Switch games seventy bucks 1604 01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:33,760 Speaker 1: for a game.

Breath of the 1607 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,519 Speaker 1: Wild was the first Zelda game for the Switch that 1608 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,439 Speaker 1: launched the console. Nintendo sold twenty nine million copies of 1609 01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:48,000 Speaker 1: that game, and they've sold one hundred and twenty three 1610 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 1: million Switch consoles.

Anyway, what are you going to 1654 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 1: help you out? 1655 01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:55,800 Speaker 11: I got a couple of questions, and if I have 1656 01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,800 Speaker 11: to listen off on the radio, if you want to after, 1657 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,200 Speaker 11: I tell you, Okay, if you talked about a week 1658 01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:03,040 Speaker 11: and a half ago you were telling about the Amazon 1659 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,640 Speaker 11: with the prescription thing, and you said that in California 1660 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,120 Speaker 11: they don't have it as available in California, but you 1661 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:12,280 Speaker 11: didn't tell how come. And then the other thing I 1662 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 11: was going to ask you is about the Samsung thing. 1663 01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 11: You told about the phones coming out, and you didn't 1664 01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:19,559 Speaker 11: happen to tell the prices of them, and I wondered, 1665 01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:21,840 Speaker 11: how come you didn't tell the prices on that? Okay? 1666 01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:23,519 Speaker 11: And I was the other part of that question for 1667 01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:25,479 Speaker 11: the Samsung was I'm looking to get the s twenty three. 1668 01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:27,760 Speaker 11: But I wanted to know what your opinion is because 1669 01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 11: I heard you talk about the one plus and how 1670 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,880 Speaker 11: you compare the two phones which we would get at 1671 01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,120 Speaker 11: Samsung as twenty three or at one plus. 1672 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:36,760 Speaker 1: Ooh, good question. All right. Let me let me just 1673 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:41,000 Speaker 1: get to the Amazon RX pass I mentioned, is a 1674 01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:45,080 Speaker 1: new like five dollars a month for unlimited prescriptions. It's 1675 01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,320 Speaker 1: not available in California. I don't know why it's not. 1676 01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:53,479 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that California has some additional restrictions on online 1677 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,840 Speaker 1: pharmacies that other states don't. But there's a couple of 1678 01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,160 Speaker 1: states that it was not available in, So it wasn't 1679 01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 1: just California, it was, you know, a couple of other 1680 01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 1: states as well. I don't have the list of those 1681 01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:07,639 Speaker 1: states right away. It says available in forty two states, 1682 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:10,360 Speaker 1: so let me see if I can find the states 1683 01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:14,320 Speaker 1: that it's not Okay, it's ourx pass is currently not 1684 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:21,479 Speaker 1: available to send medications to California, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Texas, 1685 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:26,560 Speaker 1: and Washington, So it says Amazon pharmacy is still available 1686 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,759 Speaker 1: in those states. So clearly there's some kind of extra 1687 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,599 Speaker 1: rule or regulation that the RX pass just they just 1688 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,400 Speaker 1: can't do in those states. I think there, if it's Amazon, 1689 01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,400 Speaker 1: they're probably working on it, and I would imagine that 1690 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 1: they would bring it to those states eventually if they can. 1691 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,280 Speaker 1: But that's the answer for that. I'm not sure why 1692 01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,720 Speaker 1: it's not there. I think it should be because I 1693 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:46,720 Speaker 1: think people in all states should have access to that 1694 01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:51,400 Speaker 1: five dollars a month for unlimited prescriptions. Now, the question 1695 01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: about the Samsung S twenty three, so the reason I 1696 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 1: don't go I kind of mentioned the standard pricing, which 1697 01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:59,880 Speaker 1: starts at eight hundred dollars for the standard S T 1698 01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 1: twenty three, and then the S twenty three Ultra, which 1699 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 1: is the top of the line, starts at twelve hundred dollars. 1700 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 1: The reason I don't make a big deal about the 1701 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:11,360 Speaker 1: specific pricing is because everyone's situation is so different when 1702 01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,519 Speaker 1: it comes to how they pay for their phone and 1703 01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,360 Speaker 1: how they get a discount on their device. I mean, 1704 01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the website right now. I mean, Samsung 1705 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 1: has so many different sort of offer programs. They've got 1706 01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:27,000 Speaker 1: discount for education, They've got discounts for government employees, military 1707 01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:32,000 Speaker 1: first responders employees. So I mean those can all factor 1708 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:34,080 Speaker 1: into the price of your phone. And then of course 1709 01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,400 Speaker 1: some people have a trade in so you might trade 1710 01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:38,320 Speaker 1: in your old phone. Maybe I had the S twenty one, 1711 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,719 Speaker 1: And because Samsung kind of inflates the trade in values 1712 01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,519 Speaker 1: right around the time they launch their new phones, people 1713 01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:46,880 Speaker 1: will trade in their old phone and get like eight 1714 01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,599 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for it, something unheard of because the phone. 1715 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,800 Speaker 1: You know, Samsung's taking a little bit of a hit 1716 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,120 Speaker 1: on that trade in value just to get you into 1717 01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:58,439 Speaker 1: a new phone. So that's the pricing when it comes 1718 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:04,920 Speaker 1: to comparing the Samsung versus the one plus eleven. I've 1719 01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:07,240 Speaker 1: been using the one plus eleven. I used it briefly, 1720 01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,719 Speaker 1: so I haven't really used it as like my daily driver, 1721 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:13,719 Speaker 1: but I will tell you that it's a really tough one. 1722 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 1: I would say the software on the one plus I 1723 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:20,080 Speaker 1: really really enjoy. I think that they make their software 1724 01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,879 Speaker 1: super useful. It's handy. It reminds me of the pixel 1725 01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 1: except more useful. So they add like all these little 1726 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,960 Speaker 1: features in like a reader mode where it can turn 1727 01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,640 Speaker 1: your screen, like if you can add apps to the 1728 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 1: reader mode, So if you open up like the Kindle app, 1729 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,680 Speaker 1: it will turn your screen grayscale or Sepia toned. So 1730 01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:39,240 Speaker 1: it's like fun little things like that. Or if you 1731 01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,040 Speaker 1: open up a game, it's got like a game mode 1732 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,640 Speaker 1: on it, so it like you know, boosts the processing 1733 01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:46,559 Speaker 1: power and makes the screen brighter. So it's little things 1734 01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,839 Speaker 1: like that that I really do appreciate about the one plus. 1735 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 1: I always feel like the one plus is good if 1736 01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:55,679 Speaker 1: you're very cost conscious. So if you want to spend 1737 01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:59,240 Speaker 1: a little bit less then the Samsung, then I'd say 1738 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 1: go with the one plus. I think the downside is 1739 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,720 Speaker 1: the sort of repair and help that you get with 1740 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 1: a one plus is going to be a bit more 1741 01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:10,839 Speaker 1: limited than you would with a Samsung. Samsung's got deals 1742 01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:12,960 Speaker 1: with all these like little you know, you go into 1743 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,519 Speaker 1: any of those little stores, those repair shops, and they've 1744 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:18,920 Speaker 1: got the Samsung parts, they've got the Samsung screens that 1745 01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,479 Speaker 1: people know because they work on a bunch of Samsung phones. 1746 01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:23,840 Speaker 1: So in that case, I feel like you're going to 1747 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,000 Speaker 1: get a little bit more support when it comes to 1748 01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:28,920 Speaker 1: a problem with your phone. Now, the iPhone is sort 1749 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,080 Speaker 1: of the king of that situation. Where I was in 1750 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,720 Speaker 1: Japan and I had a problem with my laptop. I 1751 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:39,759 Speaker 1: made an appointment at the Genius Bar, and without even thinking, 1752 01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,679 Speaker 1: I started walking over and I said, oh, my gosh, 1753 01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:44,800 Speaker 1: is the person that's a Genius Bar even going to 1754 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,600 Speaker 1: speak English? And it wasn't even something that occurred to me, 1755 01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:49,920 Speaker 1: like I just like imagine they would, and sure enough 1756 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,519 Speaker 1: I get there and they did. And so it was 1757 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,640 Speaker 1: just an incredible experience where here I was across the 1758 01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:58,040 Speaker 1: world and I was still able to get my laptop 1759 01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,479 Speaker 1: service because Apple just has so many store in so 1760 01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,880 Speaker 1: many places, and you break your iPhone anywhere in the 1761 01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:05,559 Speaker 1: world and you're gonna be able to get a replacement 1762 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,800 Speaker 1: like the same day. So I've been using the Samsung 1763 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:13,080 Speaker 1: S twenty three Ultra. I think it is a phenomenal device. 1764 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 1: It is a powerhouse of a phone. It is every 1765 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:20,280 Speaker 1: feature that you can want on a smartphone all in one. 1766 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 1: And so if you are desiring the absolute best two 1767 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:29,160 Speaker 1: hundred megapixel camera, every feature you can ever imagine a stylus. 1768 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:31,559 Speaker 1: I mean, this phone is really one to be I've 1769 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:35,519 Speaker 1: been super impressed with it. I think the camera is great, 1770 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,080 Speaker 1: and especially in bright light, it's amazing. In low light 1771 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:42,360 Speaker 1: it's amazing. There are some places where it struggles, specifically 1772 01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,960 Speaker 1: low light selfies. I've noticed if you're an extremely low 1773 01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 1: light it can take a little bit longer to take 1774 01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:52,200 Speaker 1: a picture. And also some of the video is in 1775 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 1: low light could struggle a little bit too. But if 1776 01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,360 Speaker 1: you want a great phone, S twenty three Ultra I 1777 01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,880 Speaker 1: think is gonna be a really nice pick. All right, 1778 01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:01,120 Speaker 1: Coming up, I'm gonna tell you about the app that 1779 01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 1: lets you scan your baseball cards to see how much 1780 01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:07,160 Speaker 1: they're worth.

It's bringing 1792 01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 1: me back to my childhood when I ripped open those 1793 01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,000 Speaker 1: card packs and you know, had a little collection. I 1794 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:52,920 Speaker 1: was never too serious, but many people are so. First off, 1795 01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,200 Speaker 1: just tell me kind of the idea behind baseball card 1796 01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 1: collecting or card collecting. 1797 01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,120 Speaker 2: Well, I think for you know, for a lot of people, 1798 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 2: like cards are the first time you really experience doing 1799 01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 2: a deal, making money right, trying to figure out what 1800 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 2: these things are valuable or not. And I started to 1801 01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:11,519 Speaker 2: see that in my own son. I have a ten 1802 01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,479 Speaker 2: year old son named Charlie who got really into cards 1803 01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 2: over the pandemic, and just like me when I was 1804 01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:20,760 Speaker 2: his age, like it became quickly graduated from being like 1805 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:23,000 Speaker 2: a hobby, you know something I was like interested in 1806 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 2: the pretty pictures on the cards, to like really being 1807 01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,640 Speaker 2: serious about I want to be able to find, you know, 1808 01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:31,599 Speaker 2: the most valuable cards. I want to build a flip cards. 1809 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 2: I want to find cards and sell them. My friends 1810 01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:36,160 Speaker 2: do deals, and so I started to see that with him, 1811 01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:37,639 Speaker 2: and I think that that's a lot of people kind 1812 01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:41,280 Speaker 2: of are with this hobby, is it becomes go graduates 1813 01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 2: from like a passion into something of an obsession. And 1814 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:46,559 Speaker 2: you know, I have my own son to thank for 1815 01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 2: bringing me back into that and it's now become something 1816 01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:49,360 Speaker 2: that we get to do together. 1817 01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,840 Speaker 1: Tell me about coming up with this app? What made 1818 01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:53,519 Speaker 1: you create it? 1819 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:57,120 Speaker 2: So Charlie was having a lot of the same problems 1820 01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:59,080 Speaker 2: that I had when he got into cards, which was 1821 01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 2: he couldn't figure out what his cards are worth. He 1822 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:06,840 Speaker 2: was googling and getting crazy numbers, and he would frequently 1823 01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:11,040 Speaker 2: do a deal at school and feel badly about it. Right, 1824 01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 2: He'd do a dumb deal, and then he would come 1825 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 2: to me and say, Dad, can you help me get 1826 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:19,640 Speaker 2: my card back? And this happened multiple occasions, and I 1827 01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:21,639 Speaker 2: did the exact same thing with him that my dad 1828 01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,479 Speaker 2: did with me, which is like, I'm not gonna unwind 1829 01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:24,840 Speaker 2: that trade. 1830 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,519 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna It's like I can't swoop in and 1831 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:28,400 Speaker 1: kind of fix this. 1832 01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, as much as I'd like to, like, I'm just 1833 01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:32,599 Speaker 2: going to teach you to figure out what your cards 1834 01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:35,160 Speaker 2: are worth so you don't make stupid trades in the future, 1835 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,880 Speaker 2: and and so I set about trying to help Charlie 1836 01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,679 Speaker 2: with that. At first I bought him a Beckett Guide. 1837 01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,360 Speaker 1: Do you ever, of course I remember, I remember as 1838 01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,040 Speaker 1: a kid like looking in the tiny numbers. 1839 01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,880 Speaker 2: The Beckett Guide would have a price on every card 1840 01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:51,160 Speaker 2: so you could go through and look it up. But 1841 01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:55,559 Speaker 2: nowadays there's so many cards out there. We'll talk more 1842 01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:56,880 Speaker 2: about the collects out in a sec, but like, we 1843 01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:58,280 Speaker 2: have twenty million cards that we track. 1844 01:29:58,720 --> 01:29:59,320 Speaker 1: That's a lot. 1845 01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,160 Speaker 2: So that's a prety big phone book. And Charlie the 1846 01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,280 Speaker 2: minute I gave him that that beccacud he was like, Dad, 1847 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 2: like this is this is not fun, this is too 1848 01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:09,600 Speaker 2: much work. So then we went on the Internet and 1849 01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:11,240 Speaker 2: I tried to We tried to find apps, we tried 1850 01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:14,240 Speaker 2: to websites that would give us an answer, and honestly, 1851 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 2: the best answers we got came from eBay, because that's 1852 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,880 Speaker 2: where most people buy and sell cards these days. But 1853 01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,320 Speaker 2: even on eBay, it was a lot to sort through. 1854 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,760 Speaker 2: And so Charlie would come and ask me for help 1855 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:27,880 Speaker 2: with this every day. And finally, like so many I 1856 01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,559 Speaker 2: think inventions that are startups that get founded, I just 1857 01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:33,719 Speaker 2: got so frustrated that I wanted to have a better, 1858 01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:36,320 Speaker 2: easier way to do it, so I made made a 1859 01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:38,479 Speaker 2: little tool for Charlie to help him figure out the 1860 01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:40,240 Speaker 2: price of his cards, and that's what gave birth to 1861 01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:41,400 Speaker 2: the idea for Collects. 1862 01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:44,320 Speaker 1: So Collects is an app that lets you scan the card. 1863 01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:48,639 Speaker 1: It kind of pulls the you know, the prices across 1864 01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:51,800 Speaker 1: various platforms and then comes up with a number and 1865 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,679 Speaker 1: assigns that value to your card. Yeah, that's right. 1866 01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:57,400 Speaker 2: So we have we have about twenty million cards that 1867 01:30:57,439 --> 01:30:59,720 Speaker 2: we can match the images to. Right, So you take 1868 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,759 Speaker 2: a pic, sure, and we use a technology called computer 1869 01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 2: vision or visual search to match the cards, similar to like, 1870 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 2: you know, if you hear about like facial recognition, you know, 1871 01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,320 Speaker 2: it's sort of like the same idea, except in this case, 1872 01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:12,840 Speaker 2: we're just matching a reference image of a card to 1873 01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 2: the picture you've just taken. And the technology works really 1874 01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:20,720 Speaker 2: well for that purpose. So we can match with a 1875 01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:22,960 Speaker 2: very high degree of accuracy and say, okay, this card 1876 01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,160 Speaker 2: matches to this other card. Once we match it to 1877 01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:28,599 Speaker 2: the card, then you can see what's the current average price. 1878 01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:31,799 Speaker 2: We average all of the most recent sales on eBay 1879 01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:34,720 Speaker 2: and other sites to calculate that, so we'll give you 1880 01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 2: the average price, and then we can also tell you, 1881 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:38,360 Speaker 2: you know, what would the card be worth if you 1882 01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:39,880 Speaker 2: if you wanted to sell it, or if you want 1883 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:41,880 Speaker 2: to degrade it, if you want to send it off 1884 01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,160 Speaker 2: to a professional grading service. What would that do to 1885 01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:45,040 Speaker 2: the value of the card. 1886 01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 1: So that's basically how it works. Yeah, and of course 1887 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 1: you can build your collection inside the app. You can 1888 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,040 Speaker 1: see how much your entire collection is worth, and you 1889 01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:55,880 Speaker 1: can buy, sell, and trade with other people inside the app. 1890 01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:58,920 Speaker 1: How has the app been doing well? 1891 01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:00,599 Speaker 2: So all of that stuff you just mentioned, that all 1892 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,040 Speaker 2: kind of came probably after you and I first talked. 1893 01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:04,920 Speaker 2: So when we first launched the app, it was just 1894 01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:06,880 Speaker 2: a pure utility, just take a picture of the card, 1895 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:09,720 Speaker 2: get the value, build your collection. Right, that was the 1896 01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:13,200 Speaker 2: sort of the initial kind of like maybe not an MVP, 1897 01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 2: but the initial version of of Collects. And then what 1898 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:18,400 Speaker 2: we started to see happening was people were building really 1899 01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:21,960 Speaker 2: big collections. The average user on the app will add 1900 01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 2: about two hundred cards to their collection, but we have 1901 01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,639 Speaker 2: a ton of users that have thousands, tens of thousands, 1902 01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 2: hundreds of. 1903 01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 1: Thousands of cards. 1904 01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:30,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, so we start to see these people building 1905 01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:32,639 Speaker 2: bandsive collections, and then the really cool things. They started 1906 01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:34,640 Speaker 2: to reach out to one another, so like, you know, 1907 01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:36,920 Speaker 2: your friend might have somebody else that would reach out 1908 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:37,200 Speaker 2: to them. 1909 01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 1: And say, hey, I really like your Jerry Rice card. 1910 01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:41,559 Speaker 2: I want to buy that from you? Would you take 1911 01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:43,559 Speaker 2: twenty bucks for it? And so they started doing these 1912 01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 2: deals and we started to see that happening organically. It 1913 01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:50,040 Speaker 2: was honestly, like probably not the best experience because they 1914 01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:52,160 Speaker 2: were just doing it all through private messaging. In the app, 1915 01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:55,320 Speaker 2: we have a messaging feature, but we you know, luckily 1916 01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,639 Speaker 2: like laid enough of the groundwork that it was all possible. 1917 01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,200 Speaker 2: And so we started to look at how many any 1918 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:02,920 Speaker 2: cards we're getting sold through the app, and over the 1919 01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:05,600 Speaker 2: last five months, we've seen fifty million dollars worth of 1920 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:09,439 Speaker 2: cards sold on the Collects app. So people are actually 1921 01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:11,519 Speaker 2: doing some pretty big deals here. I mean it's you know, 1922 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:13,840 Speaker 2: this is an eBay yet, but it's it's definitely like 1923 01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:16,439 Speaker 2: a cool place to be able to you know, buy 1924 01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:17,639 Speaker 2: or sell or do a trade. 1925 01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:21,080 Speaker 1: So we're talking with Ted Man, a co founder of Collects, 1926 01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,400 Speaker 1: an app that lets you scan your baseball cards see 1927 01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:26,760 Speaker 1: their value and also there's a lot of social access 1928 01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:29,360 Speaker 1: aspects to this app as well. You can buy, sell, 1929 01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:31,800 Speaker 1: and trade with different people that are using the app. 1930 01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,400 Speaker 1: How do you think this differentiates from just say, scanning 1931 01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:37,880 Speaker 1: a card with like Google Lens, or just putting the 1932 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:39,120 Speaker 1: card into eBay. 1933 01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:40,280 Speaker 8: Sure? 1934 01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:43,800 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know a bunch of other platforms 1935 01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:45,479 Speaker 2: exist where you can go and you can do you 1936 01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:47,920 Speaker 2: can buy or sell a card. I think what makes 1937 01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:51,519 Speaker 2: Collects different than like say an eBay is it's a 1938 01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,160 Speaker 2: social experience right where you can find the other collectors, 1939 01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:56,240 Speaker 2: you can see what they've got, you can see if 1940 01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:59,040 Speaker 2: what your shared interests are. So if you both collect 1941 01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:02,360 Speaker 2: the Dodgers, we can help surface those cards front and 1942 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 2: center to make it a little bit easier to find 1943 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:05,519 Speaker 2: the cards that you would want to be able to 1944 01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:06,639 Speaker 2: purchase from that person. 1945 01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 1: Or do a deal with. 1946 01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:09,479 Speaker 2: So in that sense, it's like you know, I think 1947 01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:12,439 Speaker 2: it's it is different from those social marketplaces. Plus, we 1948 01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 2: have the utility of being able to scan the card 1949 01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,320 Speaker 2: and match it, so Google Lens doesn't really do that 1950 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,640 Speaker 2: per se. Google lends will allow you to match to 1951 01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:22,639 Speaker 2: images on the Internet, but none of what Google does 1952 01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:24,799 Speaker 2: is tied to any kind of what we call canonical 1953 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:27,479 Speaker 2: data is not tied to the actual checklist of the 1954 01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,519 Speaker 2: cards versus collects where we're actually going to match it 1955 01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:33,560 Speaker 2: to that exact record so that you get the pricing reliably. 1956 01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:35,479 Speaker 1: What types of cards do you support? 1957 01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:39,639 Speaker 2: So we started with just a few sports like football, baseball, basketball, 1958 01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:42,080 Speaker 2: but now we have like hockey, wrestling, We have all 1959 01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:44,080 Speaker 2: the trading card games like Pokemon. 1960 01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:44,599 Speaker 8: Magic Yu Gi. 1961 01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:47,000 Speaker 2: Oh, and we're going to be adding a bunch more sports, 1962 01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,000 Speaker 2: like we have a lot of demand for racing cards 1963 01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:53,759 Speaker 2: and MMA and things like that, so we'll be garbage 1964 01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:55,840 Speaker 2: failed Kids was a passionate mind when I was a kid, 1965 01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:58,920 Speaker 2: So we'll be adding those other categories in the coming months. 1966 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,559 Speaker 1: I had kept my original Series one garbage pail Kids 1967 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 1: for many years. I came home from college one year 1968 01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:07,720 Speaker 1: and my brother had taken all the stickers off and 1969 01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:08,519 Speaker 1: put them on my wall. 1970 01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,479 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Series one garbage because they're worth a ton. 1971 01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:14,479 Speaker 1: Now that's I'm trying not to look up the values 1972 01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:16,800 Speaker 1: anymore because I don't want to know the idea of 1973 01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,400 Speaker 1: baseball card collecting. We live in such a high tech society. 1974 01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:22,479 Speaker 1: Everything's digital. These cards are physical, but you're kind of 1975 01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:25,000 Speaker 1: bridging that physical and digital world. So do you think 1976 01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:26,720 Speaker 1: this kind of changes the marketplace? 1977 01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:30,120 Speaker 2: I mean, I think just being able to have your 1978 01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:33,400 Speaker 2: cards in, like, you know, in a digital collection, whether 1979 01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:35,160 Speaker 2: or not we're not actually like turning them into n 1980 01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:37,360 Speaker 2: fts or anything like that, but just being able to 1981 01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:39,640 Speaker 2: like track the value of your cards over time, to 1982 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:41,360 Speaker 2: know when they're going up and down in value, to 1983 01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:43,880 Speaker 2: have other people be able to kind of like make 1984 01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:46,719 Speaker 2: an offer when a card is spiking or dropping in value. 1985 01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:49,479 Speaker 2: I think that's pretty cool, right, And that's that's the thing, 1986 01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:51,680 Speaker 2: like you said, I mean, I don't even think I 1987 01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,920 Speaker 2: could have like comprehended the idea of like smartphones much 1988 01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:57,559 Speaker 2: less like collects when I was a kid. But the 1989 01:35:57,600 --> 01:35:58,920 Speaker 2: fact that you can do it now, I think it 1990 01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,519 Speaker 2: is really a cool way to advance the hobby. But 1991 01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:04,040 Speaker 2: I don't think it it obvigates the need to still 1992 01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:06,599 Speaker 2: have those physical cards, because actually being able to show 1993 01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,439 Speaker 2: cards to your friends, you know, in the physical world, 1994 01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:12,000 Speaker 2: I think is still so cool and such a such 1995 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:13,839 Speaker 2: a neat part of the whole experience of collecting. 1996 01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:15,600 Speaker 1: All right, thanks so much for joining me.

I'm trying to set up 2019 01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:08,200 Speaker 7: a golf driving range in my garage and I've hooked 2020 01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:12,240 Speaker 7: up at TV and I can use my Android Fixel 2021 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:16,160 Speaker 7: six phone for a camera. I can get it casted 2022 01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:19,759 Speaker 7: and all that. But the only thing is I can only, 2023 01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:23,840 Speaker 7: for example, turn on the camera do what I'm gonna do, 2024 01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:28,280 Speaker 7: and then I have to stop rewind it. What I'm wondering, 2025 01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:31,479 Speaker 7: is there any way I can turn it into more 2026 01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,120 Speaker 7: like a cam where I can watch it while I'm 2027 01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:37,719 Speaker 7: doing it. 2028 01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:41,679 Speaker 1: So you've got picture, so you've got if you're casting, 2029 01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:42,880 Speaker 1: isn't isn't that live? 2030 01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:48,639 Speaker 7: Yes? But when I'm going through my phone, I've got 2031 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,320 Speaker 7: it set up on you know, a photo for a 2032 01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 7: motion video for BCR or you know movie pictures. Sure, 2033 01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:01,960 Speaker 7: but it only I only see the picture when it's 2034 01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:07,720 Speaker 7: actually recording or when it's actually recorded. When I go 2035 01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:10,320 Speaker 7: back and play, then I can watch. Then I can 2036 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,840 Speaker 7: cast it and watch it. I'm trying to turn it 2037 01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:17,040 Speaker 7: into like a live cam where I can watch on 2038 01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,400 Speaker 7: the TV while I'm practicing my. 2039 01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:23,880 Speaker 1: Stroke, and so where it kind of where you're you're 2040 01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:26,559 Speaker 1: just seeing a live viewfinder of what's happening on your phone. 2041 01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:29,599 Speaker 7: That's what I want to do, yes, And I don't 2042 01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:30,000 Speaker 7: know how. 2043 01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,240 Speaker 1: To do that, and Google Cast doesn't let you do. 2044 01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:35,280 Speaker 7: That, not that I've been able to figure out. 2045 01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:39,080 Speaker 1: How How are you How are you casting? Are you casting? Okay, 2046 01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:41,799 Speaker 1: So there's a couple of ways to cast on an Android. 2047 01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 1: So one of them cast the entire screen. So there's 2048 01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:47,840 Speaker 1: there's that, and then there's the casting inside the app. 2049 01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,080 Speaker 1: So if you're casting inside, say like Google Photos, that's 2050 01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,280 Speaker 1: different than casting your entire screen. So if you look 2051 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:57,519 Speaker 1: on your your settings on your phone, there should be 2052 01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:00,839 Speaker 1: a cast that lets you cast your entire screen versus 2053 01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:03,240 Speaker 1: just the single app. Is that what you're doing? 2054 01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:09,679 Speaker 7: And well, would I be able to? Would I set 2055 01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,200 Speaker 7: it up that way? And and it's just basically like 2056 01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:12,679 Speaker 7: a cam. 2057 01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:16,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if now I've not done this personally 2058 01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:18,200 Speaker 1: in a long time. I know with the iPhone you 2059 01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,519 Speaker 1: can you can mirror it pretty easily to the Apple 2060 01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:23,160 Speaker 1: TV and see the viewfinder and see a live view. 2061 01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:25,960 Speaker 1: But I have not done this in a while on 2062 01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 1: the Android side of things, so I'd have to check 2063 01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:30,240 Speaker 1: to see. But I don't see why you would not 2064 01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:31,960 Speaker 1: be able to do that. I mean, if you if 2065 01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:34,920 Speaker 1: you can cast your screen, anything that's happening on your 2066 01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:38,479 Speaker 1: screen can be cast to another screen, whether that's the 2067 01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:41,599 Speaker 1: camera or you know, whatever's going on, but you have 2068 01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:45,720 Speaker 1: to actually go in and cast that versus the in 2069 01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:48,240 Speaker 1: app casting, which is I know it sounds a little different, 2070 01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:51,680 Speaker 1: That's that's really what I'm trying to look at. I 2071 01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:53,760 Speaker 1: don't have a pixel with me right here, but I'm 2072 01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:55,280 Speaker 1: trying to see if they're if you go into like 2073 01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:57,240 Speaker 1: your quick toggles have you seen those where you like 2074 01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:58,960 Speaker 1: pull down those buttons that are at the top of 2075 01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:02,840 Speaker 1: the screen, right, that's where you might find the cast 2076 01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:05,000 Speaker 1: where it's going to cast your entire screen and not 2077 01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:07,880 Speaker 1: just the app, and not just. 2078 01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:11,760 Speaker 7: Not just the camera or not just the video. 2079 01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:15,479 Speaker 1: Camera exactly like the photos app. So have you ever 2080 01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:17,599 Speaker 1: gotten to a place where, like when you cast this screen, 2081 01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:19,640 Speaker 1: you see all your apps and everything like on the 2082 01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:20,679 Speaker 1: TV screen. 2083 01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:22,439 Speaker 7: I haven't seen that yet. 2084 01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:24,840 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, then that's what you need to do. So 2085 01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:26,840 Speaker 1: that's that's your that's what you need to do on 2086 01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:29,960 Speaker 1: the on the Android phone. So if you're using a pixel, 2087 01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:32,599 Speaker 1: swipe down from the top, swipe down again, you get 2088 01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:35,479 Speaker 1: all those little tiles of different kind of quick toggles. 2089 01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:37,880 Speaker 1: It looks like you know it says Wi Fi Bluetooth 2090 01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:41,160 Speaker 1: auto rotate flashlight. If you edit those, there should be 2091 01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:44,400 Speaker 1: one in there that says cast screen. That's the one 2092 01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:45,960 Speaker 1: that you want to enable, and that's the one that 2093 01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:47,960 Speaker 1: you want to use to cast your screen while you're 2094 01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,200 Speaker 1: practicing your golf swing and then you know you should 2095 01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:53,559 Speaker 1: be able to see that on that TV screen at 2096 01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:55,840 Speaker 1: the same time. So hopefully that'll help. 2097 01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:57,680 Speaker 7: Thank you, Thank you, sir. 2098 01:40:57,720 --> 01:40:59,040 Speaker 10: Whish me love. I'll give it a shot. 2099 01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:02,639 Speaker 1: All right, good luck, Tom, appreciate it, appreciate the call. Okay, 2100 01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:04,400 Speaker 1: to close out the show, here, let me tell you 2101 01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:07,439 Speaker 1: about the SIM swapping. I know I talked earlier about 2102 01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:10,519 Speaker 1: SIM cards and how they've become more electronic, which is 2103 01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:14,559 Speaker 1: probably a good thing. But SIM swapping doesn't require actually 2104 01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:18,040 Speaker 1: swapping out a physical SIM. It's actually someone stealing your 2105 01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:22,280 Speaker 1: SIM card information and activating their phone with your info. 2106 01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:26,680 Speaker 1: So here's how it works. Basically, someone gets your information, 2107 01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:30,040 Speaker 1: they call up your wireless carrier and they pretend they're 2108 01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:32,360 Speaker 1: you and they say, oh, I got a new phone. 2109 01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:35,120 Speaker 1: I'd like to swap my SIM with the new phone. 2110 01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:37,559 Speaker 1: And the operator says, okay, let me verify you are 2111 01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:41,000 Speaker 1: who you are. And because of all these data breaches 2112 01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:44,080 Speaker 1: out there, you know, these hackers can figure out ways 2113 01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:47,840 Speaker 1: of piecing together your identity and so they know that 2114 01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:50,800 Speaker 1: you know your secret question or secret answer to your 2115 01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:53,680 Speaker 1: secret question is this. They know what your address is, 2116 01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:56,320 Speaker 1: they know what your phone number is. We recently saw 2117 01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:59,679 Speaker 1: big data breaches from T Mobile that exposed like thirty 2118 01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:03,080 Speaker 1: seven million customers information. And this is a story, by 2119 01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:06,679 Speaker 1: the way, from ABC seven New York about two people 2120 01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:10,280 Speaker 1: that had gosh, twenty thousand dollars wired out of one 2121 01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:13,280 Speaker 1: one account and sixty thousand dollars out of another. While 2122 01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:15,760 Speaker 1: these people keep a lot of money in their their accounts, 2123 01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:18,880 Speaker 1: and both of these women were victims of a simcard 2124 01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:24,200 Speaker 1: swap scam. And so basically, these criminals convinced the carrier 2125 01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:28,120 Speaker 1: to let them activate a new phone. And what's going 2126 01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:31,320 Speaker 1: to happen when that happens. Well, now they've got the 2127 01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:34,720 Speaker 1: keys to your kingdom. All those little text messages that 2128 01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:38,160 Speaker 1: come through the two factor authentication codes, all of those 2129 01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:40,960 Speaker 1: codes are now coming to their phone. So what can 2130 01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:43,599 Speaker 1: they do. Well, they try to log into your bank account, 2131 01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:45,800 Speaker 1: and your bank says, huh, this is weird. This is 2132 01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:48,720 Speaker 1: a new device that we haven't seen before. Let's verify this. 2133 01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,400 Speaker 1: Let's send that device a text. They send a text 2134 01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:54,519 Speaker 1: with that one time code. But now the hacker has 2135 01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:56,840 Speaker 1: that one time code and they can enter it and 2136 01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:58,880 Speaker 1: get into your bank account, and they can do this 2137 01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:00,880 Speaker 1: for a whole bunch of different things. When we've heard this, 2138 01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,040 Speaker 1: this is nothing new. This has been going on for 2139 01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:06,559 Speaker 1: a long time. But people still, you know, it still 2140 01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:09,920 Speaker 1: happens to people because their accounts are not properly locked down, 2141 01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:12,760 Speaker 1: and so in one case, this woman said, she goes, 2142 01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:14,679 Speaker 1: I was on an airplane when this happens, so there's 2143 01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:17,479 Speaker 1: no way that I could have authorized these transfers, like 2144 01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:19,600 Speaker 1: here's my plane ticket, Like when this all happened, I 2145 01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:22,120 Speaker 1: was literally on a plane. And a lot of times 2146 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:24,720 Speaker 1: people will see their phones just go dead, like the 2147 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:27,439 Speaker 1: signal just goes out because it's been moved to a 2148 01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:30,559 Speaker 1: different device. So how can you protect yourself from all 2149 01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:34,360 Speaker 1: of this? The big takeaway Number one, you probably want 2150 01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:36,800 Speaker 1: to use a two factor authentication app. I know, I 2151 01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:41,040 Speaker 1: talk about two factor authentication all the time. The easiest 2152 01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:43,559 Speaker 1: way to do that is with a text code. Now, 2153 01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,840 Speaker 1: if you look at Google what they've done, they've gotten 2154 01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:48,880 Speaker 1: pretty smart. They actually will ask you when you're logging 2155 01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:51,040 Speaker 1: in from like an unknown device. They'll say, hey, can 2156 01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:54,280 Speaker 1: you open up the YouTube app on your iPad? And 2157 01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:56,639 Speaker 1: that's how they verify you are who you are because 2158 01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:59,720 Speaker 1: the hacker typically doesn't have your iPad as well and 2159 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:01,800 Speaker 1: access to that. So they've gotten pretty good about that 2160 01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:03,960 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Like they've stopped doing like the two 2161 01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:07,439 Speaker 1: factor code sent to your text, but other apps still 2162 01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:10,719 Speaker 1: use that, especially bank apps, So use a two factor 2163 01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:14,120 Speaker 1: authentication app. That means that you won't get texts. It's 2164 01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,960 Speaker 1: like an app that relies on generating different codes every 2165 01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:20,960 Speaker 1: thirty seconds or so, and that's more secure. And also 2166 01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:23,360 Speaker 1: if your app allows it, like if your banking app 2167 01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:28,080 Speaker 1: allows a pin code or a fingerprint authentication, definitely use that. 2168 01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,720 Speaker 1: Always change your mobile account pin number and password. Do 2169 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:35,320 Speaker 1: not use your pet name, use something strong. And then 2170 01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:37,640 Speaker 1: all of the carriers, whether it's T Mobile, AT and 2171 01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:39,840 Speaker 1: T or Verizon, they all have a way to lock 2172 01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:43,519 Speaker 1: down your account so that someone can't simswap you. On 2173 01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,640 Speaker 1: T Mobile it's called takeover protection. Make sure you enable it. 2174 01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:50,519 Speaker 1: On Verizon it's called number lock, so you can ask 2175 01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:52,160 Speaker 1: them to enable that. Think you can do it right 2176 01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:55,640 Speaker 1: from your app. And then on AT and T you 2177 01:44:55,680 --> 01:45:00,200 Speaker 1: can ask them to activate two factor authentication texts. So 2178 01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:03,840 Speaker 1: no matter what or sorry, authentic a unique passcode for 2179 01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:06,000 Speaker 1: AT and T if you want any changes. So T 2180 01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:11,080 Speaker 1: Mobile account takeover protection, Verizon number lock, AT and T 2181 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:14,280 Speaker 1: out a unique passcode for any changes that are asked 2182 01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,320 Speaker 1: about your account. Very important stuff. You do not want 2183 01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:21,840 Speaker 1: to lose access to any of your personal information, all right, 2184 01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:23,519 Speaker 1: if you can believe it, that's gonna do it. For 2185 01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:27,120 Speaker 1: this episode of the show, first remote rich on Tech 2186 01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:30,280 Speaker 1: Show in the Can, I love it. Thanks to everyone 2187 01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:33,639 Speaker 1: who called some great callers this week. Next week, I'm 2188 01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:35,080 Speaker 1: going to tell you about an app that helps you 2189 01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:38,479 Speaker 1: find all of your tax deductions and can even help 2190 01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: you file your taxes. I've been using this app. It 2191 01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:44,719 Speaker 1: is quite incredible. It uses a combination of real CPA 2192 01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:48,880 Speaker 1: help and artificial intelligence. Man, that's a theme through these shows. 2193 01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:51,280 Speaker 1: You can find me on social media. I am at 2194 01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:55,120 Speaker 1: rich on Tech.
