Well, 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.120 if you follow me on social media, you know that 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:08.000 I am fresh off the plane from Korea. Spent the 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:13.880 week there in Seoul, South Korea at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.800 This is where they launched two new foldable smartphones, new 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:23.040 smart watches, and new do they call them smart tablets? 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.080 Well they're smart so new tablets as well. What a trip? 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.280 International travel is always so much work, but I don't 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.360 think I've ever gone on a trip where I don't 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:38.440 learn something new. It's also such a great way to 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.360 just expose yourself to an entirely different world. We get 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.880 so caught up in the things that happen here in 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.280 America that it is. It gives you so much perspective 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.960 to be in another place. And I will tell you 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.240 one thing I learned is that I don't think I've 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:58.200 ever felt more privileged to be able to talk to you, 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.720 because there are so many things that you can do 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.279 in this world, and to be able to sit here 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.280 and talk technology and to be able to experience this 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.800 stuff and report back to you is really an honor 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.359 that I take very seriously. And I've never been more 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.680 excited because just talking to my tech friends on this trip, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.799 it's so interesting the stuff that we do, and we're 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.760 all pretty much the same, by the way. I will 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.280 tell you that just talking to other friends that cover 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.160 this stuff, we are all similar. Let's put it that way. 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.760 Coming up on the show, we've got some great guests. 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.800 We're going to talk to Drew blackerd He is the 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:39.560 vice president of Mobile Product Management at Samsung Electronics America. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.160 Drew is the guy that's typically on stage announcing these products, 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.120 and so it's quite an honor to be able to 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:51.000 speak to him. Jimi Rivera of Pocket now HEIMI reviews 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.640 just about every gadget. He does daily tech updates on YouTube, 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.320 and I had the honor of sitting next to him 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.639 on the plane. We didn't plan that, but we said, 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.480 you know what, if we're sitting next to each other, 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.880 we're doing an interview. So you're gonna hear the first 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.880 interview on this radio show from thirty five thousand feet 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.239 up in the air, and Bobo's probably wondering, I wonder 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.280 how that's going to sound. It sounds pretty good. You 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.600 might hear some food being served in that. You know 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.000 that that airline button in the sound that ding in 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.160 the background. And then later in the show, I'm going 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.520 to take you to the Apple Store. Can't all be Samsung. 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.520 I'm gonna take you to the Apple Store in downtown 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.440 Los Angeles for the Code with Clossy demo day. Met 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.080 up with some amazing students there learning to code and 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.320 they were showing off their apps. And that's a great 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.400 program if you have a teenager in your life. You 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.000 definitely want to learn about that. Let me tell you 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.920 a bit about Soul. So Soul interesting city, old meats new. 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:54.560 I could not believe how large and sprawling this city was. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.840 I mean Los Angeles. We've got some pockets of skyscrapers, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.200 you know, maybe downtown, Century City, a couple other places. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.040 I'm not kidding. We went up to this tower. You 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.000 look out three hundred and sixty degrees around you. There 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:14.760 are just skyscrapers and housing everywhere. It was truly incredible. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.520 This is a city that is forward thinking when it 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.200 comes to technology, but also rooted in a lot of history. 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.920 And one thing that was interesting there, you know, North 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.720 Korea is very close. I did not go to North Korea. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.040 I did not try to sneak in, but they do 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.440 these things called DMZ tours, and here in La we 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:41.159 have TMZ Tours, DMZ Meet TMZ. We stayed in downtown Seoul. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.719 Samsung very much a big part of that city. So 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:52.320 Samsung is everything. Samsung, LG, Kia, Hyundai. These are businesses 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.159 that are based in Korea and it is part of 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.960 the daily life there. I mean, LG runs a cell 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:03.560 phone network. Samsung has apartment buildings, with their name on it. Kia, Hyundai, 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.840 Genesis cars everywhere everywhere and they look really cool. By 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.680 the way, what I see the Genesis It was like 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.960 an EV that was really really cool looking. I think 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.839 it had eighty in the name, but it was really nice. 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.279 I got to look into that one. What else do 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.560 we do? We went to Samsung's headquarters, so they call 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.560 it Digital City. It's so big, there's so many buildings. 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.800 They have a museum on site, so we looked in 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.640 the museum. We got to see the history of Samsung, 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.400 which started out as I believe, a textile company in 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.000 like nineteen thirty nine or something like that, and they 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:41.320 started doing electronics in the sixties and of course TVs, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.400 video cameras, computers, air conditioners, I mean, they make it 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.000 all there, so we got to see all of that stuff. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:54.880 Where we stayed, there was a giant mall underground. I mean, 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.760 I'm talking the largest mall in Asia is underground and 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.719 it was incredible. And inside this mall, in the center, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.320 the centerpiece of it all, which is so ironic, is 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.240 a giant bookstore. And the bookstore is something out of 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.240 Harry Potter. There's just books lined up to the ceiling, 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.120 but it's like, you know, I don't know how many stories, 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.839 three stories, four stories, and there's a giant tree in 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.400 the middle with books on it. So you got to 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.880 check out my Instagram at rich On Tech. I'm going 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.080 to put a highlight of my trip so you can 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.280 see everything that I posted there, because, as a producer, 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.360 Bobo said, it was a lot. It was a lot 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.520 to keep up with. But you know what, it's one 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.599 of those things where I want to remember what I 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.040 did and I want to bring that to. 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:37.600 You as well. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.920 This was the first trip that I did not take 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:45.840 any cash out of an ATM or exchange money. I 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.400 typically bring some sort of money with me in the 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.120 foreign currency just in case I need it, because I 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.160 was stuck in Tokyo one time, and sometimes you need 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.000 to get a train ticket and you may not be 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.440 able to use a debi or credit card. And this 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.320 happened to me once and I was not able to 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.000 take cash out of the ATM in Japan because my 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.920 debit card was not working there and I was stuck. 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:11.680 And I'm not going to say I had to jump 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.080 a turnstyle, but I may be wanted in Tokyo. Let's 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.080 just put it that way, but I had to do 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:18.680 what I had to do, and I ran right to 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.960 the ATM and got money out because not every ATM 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.880 worked back then with my card. So this was the 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.080 first trip because at Lax, when I left, both ATMs 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.200 and the terminal were not dispensing cash, so I couldn't 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.400 get cash, and it just wasn't a thing. I wasn't 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:34.880 going to go to the money exchange. I said, you 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.280 know what, I'm going to take my chances and I 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.040 was able to use my credit I did use a 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.840 credit card there because they didn't charge me a what's 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.160 like a little exchange fee. My debit card charges an 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:48.800 exchange fee, so I didn't want to pay an extra 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.480 one percent, so I use my credit card. I also 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.600 used tap to pay, which was pretty much everywhere, so 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.440 set up tap to pay on your phone. It's safe, 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.800 it's secure, it's convenient. I don't know if I recommend 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.480 not having any cash. I had some American money on me, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.720 but it's one of those things where you just never know. 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.240 Now the train, I took a bus to the hotel 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.280 and they did take a credit card, so that that 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.720 worked out. Ah what else, Oh little travel tip on 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.560 your bag, your luggage, your backpack. Put something unique on there. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.520 So on your travel bag, like my backpack is black. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.120 Every single backpack in the world is black. So how 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.800 do you know it's mine. Well, I put a little 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.280 pin on there so I can identify that it's mine. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.520 But also it's not just me that needs to identify it. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.240 It's you. If you're picking up a bag on a 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.040 baggage carousel, or if there's a whole bunch of backpacks 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.720 by the hotel, you know you left it with the bellman, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.439 the bell person. You know, you want to be able 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.240 to identify your bag quickly, So put something that is 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.600 unique on there. Put something that's identifiable quickly. And on 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.200 your luggage. Same thing. I've got like a strap, like 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.120 a colorful strap for my luggage, so that I can 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.760 tell that it's my luggage. But more importantly, other people 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.679 can tell it's not their luggage. And believe me, I 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.240 had a friend when we went to another country. He 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.880 picked up someone's bag and he thought it was his, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.560 and we got to the hotel and he didn't realize 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.400 until then, and it was you know, it took a 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:12.959 while for him to get his own luggage. It was 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.600 kind of a pain. And I watched at lax as 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.600 people were picking up their luggage. So this girl, she 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.160 was next to me, she goes, oh, I think that's mine. 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.319 And then some guy picked up her luggage and then 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.400 he looked at it, checked the tags and said, oh, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.520 it's not mine, put it back. Ah what else? Oh? 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.200 This was cool. When I was in Soul, I got 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.360 to see one of those three D billboards in person. 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.440 If you're ever flipping through like YouTube shorts, they always 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.680 have these videos of these three D billboards that looked 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.839 too good to be true. And sure enough there was 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.560 one on the street corner and I saw it. I 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.800 must have stood there for twenty five minutes watching all 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.000 the ads. And the three D ads are not every 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.120 thirty seconds, they only come up every five ten minutes 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.840 or so. But it was really really cool. Oh let's see, 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.280 I did have some traditional food. I am embarrassed to 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.319 say that I did eat at Shakeshack the first night 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.199 I was there. And I know, I know, I know, 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.000 I'm in Korea and where do I eat shake Shack? Yeah, 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.280 Bobo did McDonald's. I almost did KFC. And I'm not kidding. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.240 When I talked to everyone the next day. I didn't 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.480 feel so bad because guess word, ninety percent of people 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.960 ate the first night KFC. Now, I know that Korea 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.640 is known for fried chicken, and obviously it's not KFC 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.400 is here, but the dipping sauces are different, and I'm 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.560 sure some stuff is different. Now I will say my 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.720 burger at Shakeshack was identical to the States. So I 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.440 did not get any culture, except for the fact that 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.080 they had a little hand washed machine at the Shakeshack, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.440 which I thought was pretty cool. Every country is very clean. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.520 They love cleanliness. You know, they have these little napkins 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.240 that are like wet naps. They have very very clean 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:47.120 A lot of people wore masks in different countries before covid' 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.040 and that's still a part of the culture in many 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.760 many countries. Oh one more story, my passport got locked 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.840 up on the way back in I'm not kidding. So 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.160 Samsung gave us samples of some of the devices that 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.600 they announced, and so you had to decline them at 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.520 customs to make sure that they knew that these were 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.240 samples and you weren't going to sell them and all 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.760 this stuff, and so, of course, being the honest person 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.839 I am, I said, yes, I have samples of a 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:13.320 couple cell phones and you know, a tablet. And as 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.480 the woman is like looking at me and like in 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.720 San Francisco, She's like nodding and smiling. She's literally taking 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.560 my passport and locking it up in this lock box. 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.000 And I'm like, oh, what just happened here? She goes, yeah, 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.080 take this to the you got to you gotta clear 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.600 customs at the exit. They got to inspect your bags 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.400 before you can leave. So I was a I was 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:38.199 a prisoner in my own country for fifteen minutes yesterday. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.720 I'm telling you, it felt really odd to know that 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.840 I was no longer a free citizen in my own country. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.840 I'm telling you, it was an experience that I've never 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.520 felt before. It was a feeling that I've never had before. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.200 I knew that here I was in America, but yet 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.520 not able to travel freely and not leave the airport 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.480 without fai figuring out this custom stuff. And it was 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:03.960 easy to figure out. It was funny. The guy who 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.600 was actually in charge of clearing me. He he was like, oh, 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.959 you're on TV. Oh you review electronics. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:11.439 Oh that's cool. 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.320 Where can I watch you? And he's like, go ahead, anyway, 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:15.520 and it was all on the up and up. It 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.160 was fine. All right. Coming up, I'm gonna talk more 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.280 about what Samsung announced, new foldables, new tablets, new watches. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.760 Plus I got to tell you about this sneaky new 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.960 fee that Verizon and AT and T are putting on 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.600 bills if you have an older plan. We've got some 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.000 great guests. But first it is your turn. We've got 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.920 your calls coming up next at triple eight rich one 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.400 oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.920 four to one zero one. Then give me a call 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.640 if you have a question about technology. My name is 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.000 rich Damiro and you are listening to Rich on Tech. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.760 Welcome back to Rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.840 out with you. I was told this is Black Pink. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:01.000 Is that a Korean pop band? Yeah, there you go. Okay, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:08.640 they had they had sugar. Okay, I've heard this. They 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.880 had sugar of sugar. They had sugar of BTS. No, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:20.920 it's sugar bts at the Samsung event. And the best 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.679 part was, you know, he got paid to be there, 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.920 of course, because he's like, you know, Samsung whatever, like influencer. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.760 But I'm not kidding. All he had to do was 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.600 just smile for the camera and give a thumbs up. 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.080 And I don't know how much money he made doing that, 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.640 but man, it must be nice. And then they also 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.880 had Sydney Sweeney there. She is best well for me, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.720 I best know her from White Lotus. She's also on 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.040 some other shows Euphoria. People were telling me, I haven't 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.400 seen that on HBO. All right, let's go to let's 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:55.079 kick off the show with Sean in Saint Charles, Illinois. Sean, 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.640 you're on with rich Hi. I'm doing great. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:03.560 How are you taking my call? Yeah? Outside of my 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:09.400 my elderly eight and my stage four of loung disease, 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.240 I got times with my computer here that I got 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:20.040 old twenty thirteen Toshiba. I never upgraded from seven and 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.320 it's too light. Now, I know we're far ahead of 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:30.240 that scenario now. Uh it still operates, but I have 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:37.400 conflicting uh anti virus burners on the or maybe, hey. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.920 Sean, can can you move a little bit? You're you're 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.520 breaking up, Maybe move to a different area because I'm 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.640 getting a lot of broken Uh yeah, Okay, So you've 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.480 got two different anti viruses on there, and what are 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.040 they telling you? 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:50.960 They keep coming up and telling me that, you know, 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:55.040 I need to need to upgrade up because everybody's tracking 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.880 me and I'm not protected for any viruses and so on. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.840 Install, uninstall them, get rid of them. What are the programs. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:07.880 AVG and the the asked, Okay, well. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.960 You don't need to number one, so get rid of both. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:11.880 I know, I know, I tried. I tried to get 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.600 them to go away, but they keep going back up. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.280 Yeah. Well that that goes to show you that you 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.080 know half of these programs and those are two good ones. 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.720 Actually I'm not you know, I don't want to knock them. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.160 They're good programs, but I would I would uninstall them 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.720 and then pick one the best place to find. Are 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.000 you going to get a new computer? You're going to 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:29.440 stick with this? 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:34.119 I'm not, like I said, I'm way behind the technology 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.440 and now it's falling past me. So yeah, I don't 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:37.480 know I'm going to catch up. 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.960 Okay, Well here's the deal. I mean, look, the main 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.840 thing with this, your system is going to continue working. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.560 The main thing is you need to be very aware 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.000 of what you're clicking on, the links that you're clicking, 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.120 the things that you're doing, because you're really not going 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.800 to be protected because this is an older system, it's 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.040 really not getting updates anymore. If you go to a 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.400 v dash test dot org, that will give you a 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.960 list of the best Windows antivirus software on lab is 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.200 their top pick, and then a VAST and AVG are 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.840 up there as well. But you have to get the 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.080 free versions of these things. They will try to push 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.280 you to get a paid version. But what I would 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.200 do is uninstall both of these programs. In fact, uninstall 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.520 everything on your computer that you don't need anymore. Because 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.960 this is an older computer, it's probably running pretty slow, 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.080 So uninstall those things and then install just one pick 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.480 one maybe a VAST, put it on there, make sure 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.760 it's the free version, and run that. Hopefully it'll protect you. 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.400 But I would plan for a new computer. Next week. 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.000 We're going to be talking to an expert who's going 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.200 to give us the top computer picks both Windows and 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.960 chromebooks for under five hundred bucks and under one thousand dollars. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.400 So Sean, I would tune in next week see which 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.640 computers are recommended, and perhaps plan to get one of those. 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.080 But you don't need to replace this immediately, but probably 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.920 a good idea to start thinking about a new computer here, 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.400 but just be aware of what you're clicking, because the 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.600 social engineering links are really what you're most worried about. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.560 All right, Coming up, we've got Drew Blackird of Samsung. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.879 Drew is gonna talk to us about the Samsung Galaxy 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:14.480 Z Flip five and the Samsung Galaxy Z fold five, 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:29.000 two new foldable phones from Samsung. Coming up next. Welcome 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.439 back to rich On Tech. I'm on location in Seoul, 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.960 South Korea, where Samsung is headquartered. This is where the 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.720 company held its Unpacked event to show off their latest 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.960 foldable smartphones. Samsung brought me here to be a part 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.240 of it all, and during my stay I talked with 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.160 Drew Blackird, who's often on stage at these events. Drew 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:52.480 is vice president of Product management for Samsung Electronics America. 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.600 All right, so first off, tell me Samsung doing this 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.600 event here in Korea? 0:17:58.640 --> 0:17:58.920 Why? 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.040 Well, I mean, the most obvious answers, We're headquartered here. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.520 But that's the simple answer. I think a lot of 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.240 the Korean culture and Samsung are really intertwined. 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.400 It's the biggest employers in the country. 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.480 The research and development coming out of Korea is just 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.760 substantial and it's kind of crazy that we haven't done 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.320 one here yet, So I think I'm really excited. I've 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.119 been a Samsung for close to fourteen years. I've probably 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.200 been to Korea forty forty five times, and really the 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.840 culture here is one I think of love for technology, 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.119 there's a love for fashion and new things, and I 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.080 think a lot of that comes together with our foldables. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.160 So it's really unique time to be able to announceside 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:37.560 in Korea. 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.560 So let's talk about these faultibles. It's been four years now, 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.920 almost five years with these fuldable phones. What is the 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:47.720 sort of trend you're seeing with fuldibles? 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:51.200 Well, this is our fifth generation and we're seeing every 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.399 year more and more consumers are adopting foldibles for the 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.280 first time, and when they do adopt them, that they 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.480 love them and they're staying loyal to the brand, to 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.280 the form factor. So we focus on this year is 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.520 trying to bring even more people into fold rules and 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.639 experiencing for the first time. So a lot of that 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:09.359 starts with innovating the design, the form factor itself, trying 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.199 to make it slimmer and kind of so that it 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.480 fits in the hand or the pocket of the purse easier. 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.240 So both devices, the Flip and the fold are about 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.800 two millimeters slimmer. Fold is actually ten grams lighter as well. 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.000 So the part of it is just kind of keeping 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.199 the form factor tight and making mainstream and then on 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.720 top of that innovating these fold foldable use cases where 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.520 they are unique things that you can really only do 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.719 with these products. So with Fold, it's opening up, you know, 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:38.240 a standard sized smartphone to a seven point six inch display. 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:43.399 Incredible for productivity and entertainment, gaming, multimedia, and for Flip, 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.960 it's it's a product that really you can get more 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.320 smartphone when you want more. It opens up to a 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.639 seven point six inch display, which is the same as 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.520 our S Plus model, and it's. 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:54.800 Less phone when you want less. 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.639 So that's you know again when you want it in 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.760 an easily pocketable, you know device. But also you have 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.600 this new experience with our Flex window where you can 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:08.479 actually interact with notifications, respond to messages, valuate opening up. 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.680 This seems like a pretty good design this year. It's incredible. 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.280 Yeah, I think one of the things we're most proud 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.159 of is the new Hinge design. We call it our 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.040 zero gap Pinch, but that basically means that it's fully 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.560 flush on the X tier, so there's no gap where 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.040 you know, different things in your pocket might come in 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.680 between you know, the screen or things like that. From 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.320 a form factor perspective, again, it makes it slimmer, so 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:32.120 it's easier to hold in hand. And on top of that, 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.679 you know, the innovation over time has really evolved, so 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.920 I think, you know, some of the early criticisms around 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.200 foldables had to do with the camera experiences. Now these 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.240 are now no compromised flagship camera experiences. 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.399 And on top of that, the xterior. 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.919 Display on flip has evolved. Their original one if you remember, 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:51.680 it was just like a window where you can see 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.000 the time basically, and it's now a fully interactive display. 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.080 It's about three times larger than last years. And with that, 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.680 we have a full interface on the flex window that's 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.800 similar to our Galaxy Watch, where you can kind of 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.680 pull down quick settings from the top. You can have 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.840 widget experiences, whether it be like music player or calendar 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.520 or weather to one side, and then on the other 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:15.600 side of notifications that as I said, you can like 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.119 quickly respond to text messages and engage with friends. And 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:21.840 then the last one, which is cools from the bottom, 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:23.840 swipe up and you get Samsung Wallet, so you can 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:25.280 make mobile payments without even. 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.600 Having you to open the phone. So I'm curious with 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:31.520 the new hinge does it affect durability anyway? Does it? 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.360 Is it are you taking a step back with durability 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.000 because this is a newer device hinge or is it 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.600 kind of the same design but just tweaked. 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:40.880 It's going to be a big step forward in terms 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.639 of durability, So I think that's one of the approaches 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.960 behind it. So I think the zero gap hinge will 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:48.920 do a few things first as it will narrow down 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.000 so there's no gap where nothing from you know, the 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.800 outside can can enter into, you know, the foldable part 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:56.040 of the phone. The second thing it will do is 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.679 is kind of restructure the internal so within the flexible display, 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.960 there's now kind of a padding layer under that display 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:07.600 that is for shock absorption. The hinge is called dual 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.080 rail system on the hinge which has multiple touch points 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:15.479 on the display which reinforces the durability and multiple points 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.600 compared to what it did in the past, and it's 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.320 all fewer parts, so it's actually doing this all with 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.800 fewer moving parts, which makes it more durable. So all 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:26.080 those things together make the hinge more durable, and the 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.000 devices themselves are more durable as well. So we now 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:33.080 have griller glass Victis too, which is an upgrade from 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:36.480 last year's model on the kind of X tier displays. 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.640 It has armor aluminum, it's ip X eight water resistance, 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:44.040 so a lot of different progress on the durability front. Also, 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:47.879 we're launching what we call our ze Assurance program to 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.080 help you and put further piece of mind around the 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:55.560 durability of foldable products. So specifically, they all come with 0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:59.280 an inbox screen protector applied, but you'll get a one 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.520 time free placement if you ever want to get the 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:03.760 screen protect or replace, Samsung will do that for you. 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.639 And then from a repairs perspective, foldables are still a 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.120 new technology, but we'll also have a one time discounted 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:13.560 screen repair also if you needed to do anything like that. 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:15.720 And I would say the only other thing I add 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.439 on there is we have a care plus insurance product 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:20.480 that's really incredible. 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.320 I noticed the base storage is now doubled on the 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.879 flip so you keep you kind of keep doing that 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:30.480 almost every year now, So what's what's the deal with 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:31.199 the storage. 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:35.800 Well, I mean we see as users behavior evolves, their 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:39.679 storage needs evolved, So you know, more and more users 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.439 are capturing a lot of video content. Video takes a 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:46.439 lot more storage than photos do, for example. And on 0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:49.760 top of that, with Samson cameras, they're all EK capable, 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.080 so it's not just HD video, it's four K video, 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:54.800 it's AK video. These are all large file sizes. So 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.639 we want to make sure that a consumer's experience with 0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:00.199 these products is kind of uncompromised. So if they're going 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:01.840 to use these high end features, they don't have to 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.720 worry about if they're going to run out of storage. 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:06.800 And during our pre order even we're doing a large 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.680 storage upgrade on us, so you can pay the price 0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:12.280 of the two fifty six gig and you'll get the 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.680 five to twelve gig a version of it. 0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:19.080 What about sustainability efforts. I always hear during the presentations 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:22.359 a lot about sustainability. We saw yesterday some of the 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.600 displays about you know, the different recycled materials tell me 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:27.600 about Samsung's commitment to that. 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.320 Sustainability is a huge part of our corporate mission. And 0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:33.640 so I think there's three key areas with the foldables 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:35.640 that we've really focused on. The first is just using 0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.600 more recycled components. I think last year had about six 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:42.240 parts that we're using recycled material. I think we're closer 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.040 to fifteen different components of the device using that this year. 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:49.920 And the second is fully recycled packaging and fully recyclable packaging, 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:51.880 so it's also you know, kind of. 0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:53.560 Less waste that we go into packaging. 0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:56.480 And then the last area is more from just an 0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:59.840 overall length of ownership perspective that we want to make. 0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:02.639 These are products that can you know, stay in the 0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:04.560 market for a long period of time. So in addition 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:08.360 to the durability innovations that we've made from a software perspective, 0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:12.000 we are remaining committed to the life cycle THEGE products. 0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:16.000 We have five years of guaranteed security updates as released 0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:19.879 the software, and then four generations of Android OS updates. 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.120 So what is your data telling you about the adoption 0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:27.120 of foldables? Because you continue to push this area, some 0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:30.560 other you know, device makers do as well, and some 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:33.639 are holding out. So what do you see with your 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:36.359 data about people actually wanting a foldable? 0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:39.240 Yeah, well, I think last year our president team roannounced 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:42.480 that we crossed over ten million foldables sold globally, so 0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:45.439 you know, it's it's it's a big market and getting bigger, 0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:51.000 and we've you know, since obviously passed that number pretty well. 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.520 On top of that, what we see is that people 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:58.080 within the Samsung family at least are you know, shifting 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:02.800 over at a nice rate. Users are very interested in 0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.840 trying out fold our S series owners are trying out 0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:08.160 flip for the first time, and we find high loyalty 0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:11.240 as well. So when soone tries a foldable, they understand 0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:14.640 the value of those only unfoldable use cases and then they. 0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:15.760 Want the next one. 0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.720 Another interesting part is we're seeing people shift to Samsung 0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.280 at a higher rate on foldable. So we'll look at 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:26.160 ownership of different devices and how they're coming to Samsung 0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:28.280 and we see the highest rates or people wanting to 0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.840 try foldables. What's exciting about all this technology for you personally? 0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:34.919 The thing this most exciting, I guess is, you know, 0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:38.679 fifth generation foldable technology. In one sense that feels like 0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:40.800 very refine. We're kind of getting to this point where 0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:42.840 we have this this new category that we're growing, but 0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:44.639 in the grand scheme of things, is really just the 0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:47.959 beginning for foldable technology. The way I like to think 0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:49.640 about it is I've four and a half year old 0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:51.719 twins at home, and I know when they're hitting got 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.400 a high school range and college range or even my age. 0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:56.800 Someday they're not going to be using a standard far type. 0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:58.159 You know, it's going to be come out of the 0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.760 evolution of form factors that we're starting to see today. 0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:02.760 So to me, this is just the starting point for 0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:05.679 a lot of new innovation that's gonna start with in 0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:07.840 the sportphone space, but even kind of move into other 0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:08.880 categories as well. 0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:11.199 Drew, thanks so much for joining me today. Thanks for 0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:14.280 having me once again. That was Drew blackerd vice president 0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:18.840 of Product Management for Samsung Electronics America. Much more of 0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:21.520 the show come in your way, plus your calls at 0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:24.760 triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight 0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:28.280 seven four to two four one zero one. You are 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:34.480 listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. 0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:39.400 Rich Demiro here hanging out with you talking technology. Well, 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:44.000 the other big news of the week Twitter now called X. 0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:47.040 If you have the app on your phone, maybe you 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:51.800 noticed now the icon changed on my Android. It did 0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.160 not change on my iPhone. It says X, but it's 0:27:55.200 --> 0:28:00.840 still the Twitter Twitter bird and people are going at this, 0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:05.359 Oh my gosh, I mean, give me a break. Who cares? Like, 0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.080 are you really that invested in the Twitter name where 0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:10.840 you have to sit there and tweet about this? Like, 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.440 I get it, it's a big change, But who cares? 0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:18.199 It's X done? End of story. Does it matter in 0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.080 your life whether it's X or Twitter? 0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:20.639 Oh? 0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:22.960 The Twitter bird? Oh what do we call them now? 0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:27.560 Oh h everyone's crying about this change. The only place 0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.320 that people are crying is on Twitter. Nobody else cares 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:33.360 in the world. It does not matter. You don't own 0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.440 stock in Twitter, you're not friends with Elon Musk. You 0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:40.440 you don't have a reason to, you know, to mourn 0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.120 the loss of Twitter. It was a brand. It's a 0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:47.480 brand name. Brands come and go. It means nothing. So 0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.920 either you're on or you're off. I have not changed 0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:54.640 the way I use Twitter since this whole thing started 0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:58.520 with Elon Musk. Think as you might about Elon, whether 0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:01.160 you love them or hate them, it does not matter. 0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:04.560 It's a product. You use it or you don't. Just 0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:07.320 because you're using Twitter does not mean that you are 0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:13.480 an Elon Musk lover fanboy, whatever, fangirl. It just is 0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:21.400 a thing. It's a tool. Is this the Twitter farm? 0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:24.400 I thought you were gonna play crickets? Like nobody wants 0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:26.320 to hear what I'm talking about. I'm sorry, I just, 0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:28.120 you know, it's one of these things, like I cover 0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:32.000 technology for a living, and like literally I probably use Twitter, 0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:35.000 not more than anyone. But I've been on there since 0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:38.920 let's see May two thousand and seven. My thoughts about 0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:42.120 Twitter have not changed at all. It's just a product. 0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:45.120 I tweet, you respond. If you're not on there, I 0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:47.600 don't notice. If you're on there, I may notice because 0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:50.120 you might tweet at me. It doesn't change my life, 0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:52.959 it shouldn't change yours. Whether you go to Twitter dot 0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:55.640 com or x dot com or click a logo that 0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:57.720 looks like an X or click a logo that looks 0:29:57.720 --> 0:29:59.840 like a bird, it does not matter. What is it 0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.240 matter what a tweet is called. Okay, it's a Z. 0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:08.959 I don't know, we'll find out, we'll figure it out. Sorry, 0:30:09.120 --> 0:30:10.920 I know, I just it's just one of these things 0:30:10.920 --> 0:30:15.240 where like it's just gonna take time. I mean, okay, 0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:18.840 they're called exes. Okay, see you X. Whatever you did, 0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:22.040 you tweet you X. It doesn't matter anyway. If you 0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:24.880 want to find me on X, I'm at rich on Tech, 0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:29.640 same exact place I've been for the past twenty three 0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:35.200 minus seven, whatever that is. Let's go to uh Carleen 0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:37.280 in High Desert. Carleen, you're on with Rich? 0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:38.800 Hi? 0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:39.440 Rich? 0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:41.479 Are you mourning the loss of Twitter? 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:43.400 No? Not at all? 0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:45.760 Like, do you even care? Nobody cares about Twitter except 0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.240 people that tweet. Nobody cares. Why don't even talk about 0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:51.320 it in the show? No normal person cares? Sorry I 0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:57.600 shouldn't say normal, No typical average person cares. Okay, go ahead, Okay. 0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:01.479 I have a Samsung No. Nine and it's about two 0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:04.280 and a half years old, and I'm trying to keep 0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:08.320 it and I want to know if it's being overcharged 0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:12.800 because I do plug it in every night or and 0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:15.880 it does sometimes get hot. I plug it in in 0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:20.000 my truck on Android Auto and listen to books on 0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:23.560 my phone. Sure, and I want to know, am I 0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:26.800 like overcharging my phone? And then when it gets hot, 0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:30.080 am I depleting the battery? 0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:30.400 Well? 0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:33.840 Okay, so no, So batteries do have a lifespan, and 0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:37.040 for sure, when they get hot, they definitely are affected 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.800 more and that may run down the battery a bit more. 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.720 So I would take you know, I would when you're 0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:44.720 in your car, I would try to keep your phone 0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:48.239 in a place that's cool, like maybe not in the sun, right, No, 0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:51.200 it's not, okay, And so you know, it's one of 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:54.360 these things where look, you've got to use your phone, 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:57.000 and so you need to use your phone. You have 0:31:57.080 --> 0:32:00.160 to use it. And you've got a Note nine. So 0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:03.120 it's a couple of years old for sure, but it's 0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:04.960 going to last for a while. Now. There is a 0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:08.320 way I'm trying to check out here. If you download 0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:12.920 the Samsung Members app, trying to see if we've got this. 0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:15.680 Here we go. If you download the Samsung Members app, Okay, 0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:17.960 here you go. This is what you want to do. Okay, Carleen. 0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:21.920 Download an app it's called Samsung Members, and then you 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:25.720 go at the bottom of the app, it says let's 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:29.120 see what is it saying? Says support. You tap support 0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:30.920 and then there's a whole bunch of things you can 0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:35.840 do for phone diagnostics. Okay. And so when you look 0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:40.080 at that phone diagnostics, you can select battery status and 0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:42.880 you tap battery status and it will tell you how 0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:45.200 your battery's doing. Now. This is built into the iPhone 0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:47.400 under settings and then battery, So if you want to 0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.200 check on your iPhone, you can do that as well, 0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:51.600 but on the Samsung you do have to download this 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.200 separate app. So if you want to see how your 0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:58.280 battery is doing right now, mine says life is good, 0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:01.000 which is I like that. That's a very very positive 0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:04.360 way of thinking life is good. That actually sounds like 0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:07.720 something LG would say. But if your thing, if it 0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:10.960 says anything like, you know, poor or it needs help 0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:14.280 or whatever, then maybe you think about changing something. But 0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:16.600 here's the other good news. I think your battery is 0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:18.440 going to be just fine. I charge my phone every 0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.840 single day, charge it every single night, charge it multiple 0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:26.440 times a day, and my iPhone specifically, okay, is at 0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:29.320 now this is actually quite low, to be honest, it 0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:32.160 is at My battery health is at ninety two percent 0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:36.240 of maximum capacity after almost a year. So that's that's 0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:39.120 it's good. But if you think about it, you know, 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.720 if I went four more years with that phone, you know, 0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:43.680 if you tick off let's say ten percent a year 0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.280 after four years, my battery would have sixty percent of 0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:50.000 the life lifespan that it did from the factory So 0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:52.800 the other good news, Carlene is that you can replace 0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:55.760 the battery on this Note nine if it gets to 0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:59.120 a place where it's really bad, and so it may 0:33:59.160 --> 0:34:02.480 cost a little bit, but it's an option, and so 0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:06.000 now go ahead. Yeah. 0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:09.160 Well, and I'm wondering because it is a little bit older, 0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:14.760 it doesn't get any more updates because it has Android ten. Okay, 0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:18.160 And how safe is that to do like banking and 0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:18.920 stuff like that. 0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:23.000 Well, there's definitely a risk, there's definitely, there's always a risk. 0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:25.400 But quite honestly, I think you're still gonna be okay 0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:27.840 with as long as is Chrome giving you any messages 0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:31.120 like this is not supported or anything. No, okay, So 0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:33.440 as long as you're still not getting a message like that, 0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:36.280 I think you're okay. Are you still getting app updates? 0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.239 I haven't had one for a while. 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:43.080 Okay, Well I would check your app updates and make 0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:43.799 sure you're up to date. 0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:45.759 Are you I am up to date? 0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:46.200 Yes? 0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:47.120 I did check that. 0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:50.200 Okay, So go to play Store, go to your your profile, 0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:52.560 make sure it says all apps up to date. So 0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:56.120 you want to do that, you're probably I'm without looking up. 0:34:56.160 --> 0:34:57.919 I'm not sure if the Note nine is getting any 0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:00.960 sort of you know, major software up dates from Samsung. 0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:04.160 It maybe through that period, so it may be over. 0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.840 But what I would do is yeah, but Carlen, the 0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:10.320 main thing is that, you know, how hackers are getting 0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.239 a hold of people is really through social engineering. So 0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:15.960 be aware of what you're clicking. Be aware of the 0:35:16.000 --> 0:35:18.120 text that you're responding to. You know, if it says, hey, 0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:20.319 we've got a ups shipment for you, click here and 0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:23.680 confirm your social Security number, don't do that. 0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:26.040 No, I'm pretty good at that point. 0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:28.520 Okay, Well, then it sounds like since you're calling in 0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:30.520 and you're aware of this stuff, you're you're ahead of 0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:36.520 a lot of folks. So Carlenh, yeah, I'm up against it. Yeah, okay, 0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:37.239 go ahead, all right. 0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:40.200 They have those like a charge ye or a charge check, 0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:43.000 those things that you plug into your charger before you 0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:44.120 plug it into your phone. 0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:47.480 I'm not familiar with those. I don't think you need that. 0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:49.480 I've never used one of those. I think you'll be okay, 0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:52.280 try the Samsung Members app, check out your battery health, 0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:55.680 and just use your phone and enjoy it. All right, 0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:57.560 more of your calls Triple eight rich one on one 0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:01.200 eight eight eight seven four to two, one zero one. 0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:06.520 This is rich on Tech.

I will 0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:21.920 tell you, listening to this song, there is nothing better 0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:26.080 than getting home from an international trip and being back 0:36:26.400 --> 0:36:30.520 on like us ground, like as much as I love 0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:33.359 other countries, as much as I love traveling. Even though 0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:35.520 my passport was taken away for a couple of minutes 0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:38.160 and locked up in a box. Uh, it just still 0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:40.160 feels good to know. It's like you could breathe a 0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:42.960 sigh of relief, because when you're in a different country, 0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:48.560 you just never know. You never know, I mean you 0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:51.839 never know. Uh. We got lots going on this hour. 0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:55.680 We're gonna have Heimi rivera of Pocket. Now my interview 0:36:55.719 --> 0:37:00.239 with Heimi about the new foldable phones from Samsung. We 0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:03.560 recorded this interview at thirty thousand feet up in the air, 0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:08.040 just over Japan, So I think it's a first for 0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:12.440 this show, a in flight interview, and it actually sounds 0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:15.239 pretty good. You'll be surprised. You'll be surprised how good 0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:18.759 it sounds for being recorded in an airplane, and then 0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:21.400 later we'll talk about let's see, Oh, I got an 0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:24.040 app that's really cool that helps you pay your medical 0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:26.560 bills with just taking a picture of them. It's really 0:37:26.560 --> 0:37:29.880 really cool. I used it yesterday. Works very well. I 0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:32.200 also have some products that I've been using that I 0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:36.040 used on my trip, some new headphones from Sony and earbuds, 0:37:36.040 --> 0:37:39.279 i should say, and then a new power adapter, International 0:37:39.360 --> 0:37:42.840 power Adapter. Let me tell you about this because Verizon 0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:46.160 and AT and T not being so nice, they are 0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:49.520 charging a new sneaky fee, so be on the lookout 0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:53.440 on your bill. According to the Verge, customers on Verizon's 0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:58.880 five G Start plan they are affected. So this is 0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:04.040 a rate plan adjustment, an extra three dollars per line, 0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:07.880 and older plans are affected, including that five G Start 0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:11.359 plan which they introduced as Start Unlimited four years ago 0:38:11.400 --> 0:38:13.520 that costs seventy dollars a month for a single line. 0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:15.600 Why do they want to introduce this three dollars a 0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:18.120 month because guess what they want you to change to 0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:20.480 one of their newer plans. And the new plan is 0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:23.839 called Unlimited Welcome. I know, so confusing. This starts at 0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.280 sixty dollars a month, which, wow, that sounds a lot cheaper. 0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:29.120 But you don't get mobile hotspot like you did with 0:38:29.239 --> 0:38:31.920 Start Unlimited, so you have to pay an extra ten 0:38:31.960 --> 0:38:33.799 dollars a month for that. So yeah, the price comes 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.000 out to about the same if it's seventy bucks a month. 0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:39.400 But it's just, you know, it's not nice. It's just 0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:43.600 not nice. According to c NET, AT and t's rate 0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:48.080 adjustment will hit customers on the Unlimited Elite plan. You're 0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:50.000 going to be paying an extra two dollars and fifty 0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:53.640 cents a month. This was previously AT and t's top 0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:56.799 tier plan. It costs eighty five dollars a month. This 0:38:56.880 --> 0:38:59.239 is the best part, according to AT and t's website. 0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:02.680 Their levy this fee so that AT and T can 0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:06.160 quote continue to deliver the great wireless service you expect. 0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:09.719 I didn't realize it costs them extra two fifty a 0:39:09.760 --> 0:39:12.160 month to deliver the same plan that people have had 0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:12.680 for years. 0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:13.239 But I don't know. 0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:16.239 What do I know? I don't run a cellular company. Now, 0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:19.719 the new Premium Unlimited plan is about the same. You 0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:22.520 get fifty gigs of hotspot data for eighty five dollars 0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:25.560 a month. That's even more than the previous plan that 0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:28.520 only gave you forty. But here's the catch. If you switch, 0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:34.000 you lose your free HBO Max subscription. And so that's 0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:35.799 that's the catch. They want to get people off the 0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:38.800 HBO Max because when they offered these plans with HBO 0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:42.520 Max or now it's called Max Included, it was part 0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:44.600 of AT and T. Now it's not part of AT 0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:46.960 and T. So they have to pay whoever owns it 0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:49.239 Warner Brothers. I don't know who it is now. Were 0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:52.399 people crying about this switch to Max? No, I don't 0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:56.600 think so. Nobody cares. Uh. Oh I got hit with 0:39:56.960 --> 0:39:59.120 a new charge this month on my internet. It went 0:39:59.160 --> 0:40:01.279 up by five bucks a mo. So now I'm paying 0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.960 eighty five dollars a month for my internet and not 0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:08.640 even no warning, no nothing, not even a courtesy phone call, 0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:12.440 text email, nothing, just goes from eighty bucks a month 0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:14.400 to eighty five. And I have to sit there and 0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:16.239 log in and look at my bill and see why 0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:18.680 it's up. And just said, oh, your price increased five 0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:21.400 bucks a month. Oh, thanks thanks for letting me know. 0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:25.319 Phone lines are open. Triple eight rich one oh one 0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:28.120 eight eight eight seven four to two four to one 0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:31.719 zero one get in now, because all the people that 0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:34.240 wanted a call that got all angry over my Twitter 0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:37.560 rant are now not listening anymore. So you've got a 0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:40.600 free phone line. Kim is probably wondering why nobody's calling. 0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:43.080 It's because everyone's angry at me because I made fun 0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:47.680 of Twitter changing the name. Oh everyone's all upset. Okay, 0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:51.640 let me tell you about the Samsung products in a 0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:55.400 little bit more depth here. So two new phones. Samsung 0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:58.680 Galaxy Z Flip five. Now, this is kind of the 0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.600 entry level flip phone. It's kind of like a classic, 0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:04.400 like a Motorol eraser. This is the phone. It costs 0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:07.560 one thousand dollars, which I know is expensive, but it's 0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:10.960 basically a Samsung Galaxy S. But it folds in half, 0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:15.560 all right, yeah, folds closed. This phone has a new 0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:18.960 larger cover screen, so it's like three times bigger than 0:41:18.960 --> 0:41:21.600 it was on the Z Flip four. So this means 0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:25.000 you can capture pictures easily. There's new widgets. You can 0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:28.640 even watch Netflix YouTube and look at Google Maps on 0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:33.360 the cover screen without having to open the phone. So 0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:35.960 it's nice. And you know, I've got it, and I've 0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:38.960 been playing with it and it's basically just a Samsung 0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:41.320 phone that folds in half. So if you want something 0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:44.040 that's cool, if you want something that's pocketable, it's a 0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:47.200 nice little phone, it really is. And so the cover 0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:50.200 screen being a lot bigger makes it a lot more usable, 0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:53.319 makes it a lot easier to kind of to use 0:41:53.360 --> 0:41:56.800 this phone without opening it. So that's one thousand dollars. 0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.359 And the thing about that is that if you have 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:02.000 one of these old old flip phones, like the z 0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:06.600 Flip four, they're giving you like almost the entire price 0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:08.360 towards the new phone. You may have to pay one 0:42:08.400 --> 0:42:11.200 hundred or two hundred dollars to upgrade, but you're also 0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:13.480 getting double the storage, which is kind of like the 0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:17.160 price right there. So if you have the fold the 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:19.560 Flip four, you may want to just look into upgrading 0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:22.160 to the Flip five because the trade in values are 0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:25.520 really really high, so you might want to do that. 0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:28.239 Now when it comes to the Fold five, this is 0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:32.480 a totally different beast. This is really like a you know, 0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:36.520 this is like the professional folding phone. This one folds 0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:38.839 open and closed like a book, and so it's got 0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:41.640 this narrow screen on the outside. They didn't change the 0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:44.000 size of the screens. So you've got a narrow screen 0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:46.680 on the outside, I think it's six point seven inches. 0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:49.520 On the inside it's just over seven inches, so it's 0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:51.520 almost like a tablet when you open this thing up. 0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:55.319 And this is a device that is kind of like 0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:58.880 just the power user's device. So if you want something 0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:02.799 that is like the most foldable, this is it the 0:43:02.840 --> 0:43:04.880 fold five. So what have they done differently on this? 0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:08.960 They created an entirely new hinge. So the hinge will 0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:11.800 open to any single angle you want it to open, 0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:14.960 and it stays really solid and it stays open. It's 0:43:15.000 --> 0:43:17.720 got less parts than before, it's more durable than before, 0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:20.520 but it can stay open at any angle you want. 0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:22.880 So if you want to watch videos on this on 0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:25.440 the plane, if you want to just like right now, 0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:27.720 I've got my show timer going on on the screen. 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:31.200 It's just it's a really durable, kind of useful device. 0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:34.640 So that's really cool. Let's see what else what else 0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:38.839 is new on there? The processor obviously is new. The 0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:41.319 price stays the same. It's eighteen hundred dollars, so that 0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:43.400 price is really going to keep a lot of people 0:43:43.480 --> 0:43:47.600 from getting this. But again, you know, if you want 0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:49.840 this device, and so what Samsung told me is that 0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:51.919 when it comes to pre orders on these devices, they're 0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:54.680 both available on August eleventh. By the way, pre orders 0:43:54.719 --> 0:43:56.520 are right now, you're gonna get your best deals. If 0:43:56.520 --> 0:43:59.240 you place your pre order, they're gonna get the maximum 0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:01.799 trade in value because they want people, they want a 0:44:01.840 --> 0:44:04.280 good number out of the gate. Samsung, in a couple 0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:06.600 of weeks before this thing even launches, wants to say 0:44:06.800 --> 0:44:08.960 we've had the most pre orders ever. We've had the 0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:11.840 most people buy these foldable phones. And how they do 0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:14.160 that They make really good offers in the first couple 0:44:14.160 --> 0:44:17.000 of weeks. After the first couple of weeks, anything goes, 0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:18.719 you don't know they're gonna you know, you're gonna get 0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:22.040 less for your old phones. So eighteen hundred dollars for 0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:25.800 this device. The fold five comes in Icy blue, Phantom black, 0:44:25.840 --> 0:44:29.360 and cream. And I've been using this device for the 0:44:29.360 --> 0:44:32.000 past couple of days, and I gotta say it's a 0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:37.320 really nice foldable phone. The outside screen is really narrow, 0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:41.880 and so it's definitely not ideal for using the outside 0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:45.440 screen because it's narrow and people that are using a 0:44:45.440 --> 0:44:48.239 smartphone are used to kind of a wider screen. But 0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:51.600 it's also very comfortable. Oh, the big change I should 0:44:51.600 --> 0:44:54.439 have mentioned this is that both of these phones now 0:44:54.520 --> 0:44:58.640 close completely flat. So it used to be there was 0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:01.239 a kind of a gap between them. There is no 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:04.760 longer a gap between the screens when you close these phones, 0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:07.759 and so it makes it more comfortable, it makes it 0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:10.640 easier to hold. It just feels like more of a 0:45:10.680 --> 0:45:13.600 slick kind of device. And so that is a big, 0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:15.720 big improvement. And if you had one of the older phones, 0:45:15.760 --> 0:45:19.640 that's kind of a reason to do it. So the 0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:21.640 bottom line on these devices. We're going to talk to 0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:24.359 Himien a little bit about what he thinks, but I 0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:27.359 think that if you want to jump on the bandwagon 0:45:27.840 --> 0:45:31.479 and try something new, the flip is an easy way 0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:34.040 to do that. The fold a little bit more involved. 0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:36.680 You really have to kind of want a foldable phone 0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:39.280 to get that device, because it is a major change. 0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:42.000 With that said, I've loved it. Am I ready to 0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:44.400 give up a regular phone for this? I'm not sure, 0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:49.080 But it's one of those things where it's really cool 0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:52.960 and it's a feat of engineering. And so you know, 0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:54.719 like my friend Jimi, when I was talking to him, 0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:57.279 he has specific use cases that he likes You can 0:45:57.320 --> 0:46:00.600 also have a stylus with the Fold five, and so 0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:03.560 the case that they sampled us with is it's got 0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:06.520 a stylus on the back and the stylust is actually longer, 0:46:06.600 --> 0:46:08.960 and so it's really easy to use compared to the 0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:13.560 previous spens that they've had before. And again, it's one device. 0:46:13.600 --> 0:46:15.600 So if you travel a lot and you want a 0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:18.720 cell phone and a tablet in one, this is it. 0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:22.800 The Fold five is really engineered for making you carry 0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:25.560 less things in this world. So if you want to 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:28.239 be a digital nomad and travel with just a laptop 0:46:28.520 --> 0:46:31.719 and a smartphone, no tablet, no kindle, this will do 0:46:31.800 --> 0:46:34.640 it all. So it's got a lot of functionality in 0:46:34.680 --> 0:46:38.759 a device. The other two things that they launched Galaxy 0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:42.359 tab S nine. This is a premium tablet. The thing 0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:45.600 to know about it, it's a tablet that's completely waterproof, 0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:47.880 which is really cool. It's IP sixty eight, which is 0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:51.279 the highest rating for water resistance and dust resistance. It 0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:54.600 also comes with an spen and it also has a 0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:57.040 new amal ed screen, so the screen is way better 0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:00.120 quality than it was before, even on the baseline. So 0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:02.160 you've got the tab S nine, the S nine plus 0:47:02.160 --> 0:47:04.920 and the S nine Ultra, and these things start at 0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:07.200 eight hundred dollars. They go up to twelve hundred dollars. 0:47:07.600 --> 0:47:09.920 You can get a cellular connection in them if you 0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:14.920 want so. I typically don't recommend Android tablets just because 0:47:15.040 --> 0:47:18.040 they're good for entertainment. This is a premium tablet, and 0:47:18.120 --> 0:47:20.520 the s pen on it is really really premium as well. 0:47:21.120 --> 0:47:21.400 All Right. 0:47:21.480 --> 0:47:24.759 The other thing Galaxy Watched six and the Galaxy Watch 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:28.880 six Classic. The Galaxy Watch has got a new processor 0:47:28.920 --> 0:47:30.920 for the first time in like a couple of years, 0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:34.800 so they're gonna function better, maybe get better battery life. 0:47:35.440 --> 0:47:37.839 They also track your sleep really well. And the thing 0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:42.560 to know is that the Galaxy Watch Classic has the 0:47:43.160 --> 0:47:47.879 rotating bezel that people really like, and so they took 0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:51.080 away this feature on the Samsung Galaxy Watches a while ago, 0:47:51.160 --> 0:47:54.840 and now it's back. People really like that physical rotating bezel, 0:47:55.280 --> 0:47:58.160 and so if you got the Classic that's the one 0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:01.719 that has it, please start at two hundred ninety nine 0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:04.000 dollars and then go up to four hundred and twenty 0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:06.319 nine dollars. You're also going to be able to for 0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:09.520 the first time use WhatsApp on these watches. Google calendar 0:48:09.560 --> 0:48:12.399 and Gmail, and so if you want to check your 0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:15.520 Gmail on your wrist and your Google calendar, those will 0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:19.879 be a whare os exclusive? All right, and himI will 0:48:19.880 --> 0:48:21.400 talk more about this stuff in just a little bit, 0:48:21.440 --> 0:48:23.120 all right, give me a call Triple eight rich one 0:48:23.160 --> 0:48:25.839 on one, eight eight eight seven four to two, four 0:48:25.880 --> 0:48:28.600 to one zero one.

Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, 0:48:37.320 --> 0:48:41.240 talking technology at triple eight rich one oh one. That's 0:48:41.280 --> 0:48:44.319 eight eight eight seven four to two, four to one 0:48:44.600 --> 0:48:48.719 zero one. Let's see social media. You can find me. 0:48:49.640 --> 0:48:51.640 I gotta read this because everything's changed in the past 0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:53.600 couple of weeks. You can follow me on social media 0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:57.239 at rich on Tech. I'm on Instagram, I'm on Facebook, 0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:03.160 I'm on X formerly Twitter, and I'm on threads. And yeah, 0:49:03.200 --> 0:49:05.279 you found me on X because you're all yelling at 0:49:05.320 --> 0:49:09.960 me saying that you know my rant about Twitter. You're 0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:14.160 all all hurt. Okay, I'm sorry. I don't get angry 0:49:14.200 --> 0:49:18.360 that much about stuff, but like I just sometimes, you know, 0:49:18.680 --> 0:49:22.440 give me a break. Coming up this hour, we got 0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:25.640 Haimi Rivera a pocket now. But let's let's go to Jack. 0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:29.759 Let's go to Jack in Goldendale, Washington. Jack, You're own 0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:33.279 with Rich, Hello, my friend, how's it going good? 0:49:33.560 --> 0:49:35.560 I was wondering, if you know, I actually have two 0:49:35.640 --> 0:49:37.719 questions if you have time. I wonder if you know 0:49:37.960 --> 0:49:40.960 why when I watch I do the free YouTube on 0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:45.120 my Roku tv, And why is it sometimes the videos 0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:48.640 are backwards? They're like mirror. Do you know what I 0:49:48.680 --> 0:49:51.120 mean that? Like if you see a street sign or something, 0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:53.720 it's it's backwards. Or if you see a gas price 0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:55.880 or the gas station, it's backwards. 0:49:56.320 --> 0:49:59.160 I mean I've seen that on Are you talking pictures 0:49:59.200 --> 0:49:59.680 or video? 0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:00.839 Uh? 0:50:01.000 --> 0:50:03.080 Usually it's a video because I'm watching YouTube. 0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:05.560 And is it the entire like is all the writing 0:50:05.560 --> 0:50:07.560 on the screen backwards? Or is it just that just 0:50:07.719 --> 0:50:08.680 what's in the video. 0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:11.359 It's just what's in the video. Well, I wondered if 0:50:11.480 --> 0:50:14.600 maybe somehow, because I've never posted anything to YouTube, I 0:50:14.600 --> 0:50:18.360 don't know if maybe that they're posting it backwards. 0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:20.640 No, I think I think that it's just the way 0:50:20.640 --> 0:50:25.399 it's being recorded is perhaps, you know, backwards, but it's 0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:27.680 typically okay. So there's a couple of things going on. 0:50:27.760 --> 0:50:31.560 Sometimes people put things through a they flip it so 0:50:31.600 --> 0:50:34.280 that they it gets past like copyright stuff. Like sometimes 0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:36.960 if it's like running through copyright, they'll they'll flip it 0:50:37.000 --> 0:50:39.520 so that it's you know, it's just it trips up 0:50:39.560 --> 0:50:42.960 those those checks that could be that could be what 0:50:43.000 --> 0:50:46.560 you're seeing now when it comes to smartphones, when you're 0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:49.759 taking pictures with a selfie camera, a lot of times 0:50:49.840 --> 0:50:53.040 out of the box, those those pictures could be reversed. 0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:55.560 So if you take a photo of you, like a selfie, 0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:59.960 and there's text behind you, sometimes that text will be 0:51:00.080 --> 0:51:02.400 backwards in your picture when you look at it. And 0:51:02.440 --> 0:51:04.759 so there is a setting on both the iPhone and 0:51:04.760 --> 0:51:08.839 Android where on iPhone it's called mirror front Camera, and 0:51:08.920 --> 0:51:11.680 if you have that turned on, that means that it's 0:51:11.719 --> 0:51:13.640 gonna be kind of like a mirror, like it's going 0:51:13.719 --> 0:51:17.880 to be reversed, you're right backwards. And then on Android 0:51:17.920 --> 0:51:19.800 it's the same thing. If you go into the Samsung 0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:23.879 camera settings, it says, yeah, gosh, let's say I gotta 0:51:23.920 --> 0:51:28.160 find it. But oh, safe selfies as previewed. So safe selfies, 0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:30.920 Oh oh here we go, we got it, Jack, You're right. 0:51:31.239 --> 0:51:35.560 Save selfies and selfie videos as they appear in the 0:51:35.560 --> 0:51:37.080 preview without flipping them. 0:51:37.440 --> 0:51:38.080 So there you go. 0:51:38.200 --> 0:51:41.600 If they record a selfie on the front facing camera, 0:51:41.680 --> 0:51:44.320 let me try this right now. Okay, So I'm recording 0:51:44.360 --> 0:51:47.600 a selfie and I turn that feature on, and now 0:51:47.640 --> 0:51:51.160 when I play it back, sure enough, it's the text 0:51:51.200 --> 0:51:53.600 is reversed. So there's our mystery. Mystery solved. 0:51:54.040 --> 0:51:56.480 Okay, thank you. If you have time one more question. 0:51:56.600 --> 0:52:00.319 Uh, sure, Well, it depends what the question is you. 0:52:00.760 --> 0:52:05.280 I know it's the Garmin dash cameras. I recently installed 0:52:05.280 --> 0:52:10.160 two of them in my cars and the app that 0:52:10.320 --> 0:52:15.200 Garment supplies, so that's called Garman Drive. That almost never works. 0:52:15.280 --> 0:52:17.919 I've seen YouTube videos and even on there they say 0:52:17.920 --> 0:52:21.160 it works about maybe ten percent of the time. Do 0:52:21.200 --> 0:52:23.600 you have any understanding as to why that is and 0:52:23.680 --> 0:52:24.920 why Garment won't fix it? 0:52:25.080 --> 0:52:27.000 Well, they're probably not putting a lot of effort into it. 0:52:27.080 --> 0:52:28.400 That's probably why. 0:52:28.960 --> 0:52:30.239 They're making the money up front. 0:52:30.280 --> 0:52:32.760 Okay, Now, is it Android or iOS? 0:52:34.840 --> 0:52:36.960 It's well, it's I don't know. 0:52:37.280 --> 0:52:39.240 Well, what's your phone? Do you have an iPhone or Android? 0:52:39.640 --> 0:52:41.680 I have an Android, but it doesn't matter. I take 0:52:41.719 --> 0:52:44.400 the chip out, the little chip out of the camera, 0:52:44.840 --> 0:52:47.520 plug it into my computer and I can look at 0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:50.960 videos and whatnot, but you're supposed to be able to 0:52:51.040 --> 0:52:55.600 use your phone to see what your dash camera is 0:52:55.640 --> 0:52:58.960 seeing alive, right, And I don't know that it matters 0:52:58.960 --> 0:53:01.960 whether it's uh Android or iPhone. 0:53:02.520 --> 0:53:05.319 Yeah, I mean, look, they've got they've got apps for both, 0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:07.920 and I'm looking at the version history and they updated 0:53:07.920 --> 0:53:11.080 it on July twentieth, July tenth, June twenty ninth, May 0:53:11.120 --> 0:53:13.640 twenty fourth, So I would check to see if your 0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:15.360 app is up to date, just to make sure. It 0:53:15.400 --> 0:53:17.200 seems like they are working on it. So, I mean, 0:53:17.640 --> 0:53:19.160 it's like, you know, I kind of joked, I said, 0:53:19.160 --> 0:53:21.120 they're not putting that much effort, but clearly they are. 0:53:21.360 --> 0:53:24.360 So I think Garment is a very popular brand. A 0:53:24.360 --> 0:53:26.560 lot of people have this. The apps have over a 0:53:26.600 --> 0:53:31.200 million downloads, So I think that for sure you should, 0:53:31.880 --> 0:53:34.160 you know, you should probably make sure it's up to 0:53:34.280 --> 0:53:38.399 date and hopefully that will fix things. All right. 0:53:38.480 --> 0:53:39.120 Let's see. 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:41.400 Oh, let me tell you about this app. 0:53:42.480 --> 0:53:43.040 This app. 0:53:43.120 --> 0:53:45.439 I used this last night. Oh, thanks for the question, Jack. 0:53:45.480 --> 0:53:48.040 By the way, So I used this app last night. 0:53:48.080 --> 0:53:51.280 It's called Papaya. I had a couple of medical bills 0:53:51.320 --> 0:53:53.319 to pay, and they're always such a pain to pay 0:53:53.360 --> 0:53:55.040 because you got to find the website, you got to 0:53:55.080 --> 0:53:56.560 log in, you got to sign in, you got to 0:53:56.560 --> 0:53:59.360 find all your info. You literally take a picture of 0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:02.600 the bill with app and you can use your credit card, 0:54:02.680 --> 0:54:05.799 debit card, bank account to pay it. They figure out 0:54:05.800 --> 0:54:07.680 how to pay it. I did a story with this 0:54:07.760 --> 0:54:12.400 company last year. Again. It's called Papaya Pay and you 0:54:12.440 --> 0:54:14.840 take a picture pretty much any bill, but medical bills 0:54:14.920 --> 0:54:17.879 especially and they will pay. And I got my confirmations 0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:20.600 this morning that my bills were paid. I'll put a 0:54:20.640 --> 0:54:24.719 link on the website. Rich on Tech dot TV. Coming up, 0:54:24.760 --> 0:54:28.160 himI Rivera. We'll talk about the new Samsung foldable phones. 0:54:28.640 --> 0:54:30.200 You're listening to rich on Tech. 0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:33.640 Welcome back to rich on Tech. 0:54:33.680 --> 0:54:35.480 This is where I talk about the tech stuff I. 0:54:35.440 --> 0:54:36.560 Think you should know about. 0:54:36.680 --> 0:54:39.920 And if you can tell, I'm actually on the plane 0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:43.800 back from Seoul, South Korea. Sitting next to me is 0:54:43.920 --> 0:54:47.000 himI Rivera. A pocket now, himI, thanks so much for 0:54:47.280 --> 0:54:47.880 chatting with me. 0:54:48.120 --> 0:54:51.200 We've been trying to have this conversation for how long 0:54:51.280 --> 0:54:55.319 my six months? Now here we are, and now here 0:54:55.360 --> 0:54:58.280 we are, I'm stuck with you for the next ten hours. 0:54:58.520 --> 0:55:00.000 Don't worry, it's not gonna last that long. 0:55:00.560 --> 0:55:04.400 So HEIMI was at the event in uh South Korea 0:55:04.480 --> 0:55:07.560 as well as myself. We were at the Samsung Unpacked 0:55:07.600 --> 0:55:12.160 where they unveiled four new devices, the Fold five, the 0:55:12.200 --> 0:55:18.680 Flip five, a watch, and some tablets. So let's start 0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:22.720 with the Flip of the foldable phones, because you're actually 0:55:22.719 --> 0:55:25.759 a foldable phone user. Oh yeah, So what is your 0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:28.960 overall takeaway from what they announced? 0:55:29.440 --> 0:55:30.880 You know, this is full refinement. 0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:33.120 I mean, we again expect Toyota to come up with 0:55:33.160 --> 0:55:34.960 a new Corolla all the time. 0:55:35.440 --> 0:55:35.640 You know. 0:55:35.840 --> 0:55:37.840 I love the time that we had at the design 0:55:37.880 --> 0:55:40.600 studio where it's like even in phones, we have a 0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:43.000 facelift gear and then it's a big bag. And so 0:55:43.239 --> 0:55:46.520 this is a facelift, but it was a much needed facelift. 0:55:46.560 --> 0:55:50.080 I believe everything that they changed is exactly what I 0:55:50.160 --> 0:55:53.719 complained about the previous foldables, and so for me, that's 0:55:53.760 --> 0:55:54.719 a good enough. 0:55:54.640 --> 0:55:56.840 Upgrade to want them. 0:55:57.200 --> 0:56:00.560 But that's my quick takeaway is if you bought the 0:56:00.600 --> 0:56:03.719 previous ones, obviously, if you find the good trading deal 0:56:03.760 --> 0:56:07.360 which they're amazing on Samsung, or the flip not necessarily 0:56:07.400 --> 0:56:09.480 the fold the fold didn't get as good this year 0:56:09.480 --> 0:56:11.880 as I did last year. I mean, if you could 0:56:11.920 --> 0:56:15.560 do that, why not. If you're getting nine hundred dollars 0:56:15.600 --> 0:56:18.600 off the flip, you get double the storage, which pretty much. 0:56:18.560 --> 0:56:21.920 Pays that back, Like, why not? But I don't know. 0:56:21.960 --> 0:56:23.960 My takeaway is even if a lot of people were like, 0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:26.279 oh my god, this is just an initative update, I'm like, 0:56:26.680 --> 0:56:29.960 it's a good iterative, iterative update. It's at least the 0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:31.320 things that I wanted to change. 0:56:31.320 --> 0:56:32.800 I don't know about you, but I had. 0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:35.839 Like a lot of crackling noise on the Fold four 0:56:36.000 --> 0:56:36.640 over time. 0:56:37.440 --> 0:56:39.080 You don't get any of that now. 0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:43.440 The hinge feels great, the phones feel lighter, which I 0:56:43.680 --> 0:56:44.840 wanted so bad. 0:56:45.440 --> 0:56:46.400 So I'm happy. 0:56:46.760 --> 0:56:48.520 Well, let me let me go through some of the 0:56:48.560 --> 0:56:52.239 things that you mentioned. So the pricing number one Galaxy 0:56:52.320 --> 0:56:55.759 Z Flip five is one thousand dollars phone, and with 0:56:55.880 --> 0:56:59.879 trading deals which are very very aggressive, you could face 0:57:00.120 --> 0:57:02.120 we get that for free. If you have almost any 0:57:02.120 --> 0:57:05.279 device to trade in that's a recent device, then you've 0:57:05.320 --> 0:57:08.000 got the Galaxy Z Fold five and that is an 0:57:08.000 --> 0:57:11.040 eighteen hundred dollars device. No price change there, But the 0:57:11.080 --> 0:57:13.680 biggest difference on both of these devices. On the Flip 0:57:13.719 --> 0:57:17.080 five you got a bigger outside screen, and on the 0:57:17.200 --> 0:57:20.280 Full five they didn't change the screen sizes, but they 0:57:20.280 --> 0:57:25.000 did make that fold completely closed without a gap, Zach, 0:57:25.120 --> 0:57:27.120 and the same thing on the z Flip five. And 0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:30.000 that's an eighteen hundred dollars device now when you compare 0:57:30.040 --> 0:57:33.120 it against other foldables out there. So let's talk specifically 0:57:33.160 --> 0:57:36.280 about well, let's talk about the flip first. Who is 0:57:36.320 --> 0:57:40.360 the Flip four. I think it's more lifestyle phout. 0:57:40.920 --> 0:57:44.080 It's when people when Motorola came out with the Razor, 0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:45.959 it was a bragging phone. 0:57:45.960 --> 0:57:48.240 If you remember, it wasn't the most cutting edge at 0:57:48.240 --> 0:57:48.640 the time. 0:57:49.520 --> 0:57:51.760 It was actually like a Motoroll of the six hundred 0:57:51.880 --> 0:57:54.360 on a new body, so it didn't have a good camera. 0:57:54.520 --> 0:57:58.520 It was just the flashy, sexy phone. And that's what 0:57:58.600 --> 0:57:59.000 this is. 0:57:59.040 --> 0:58:00.280 This is sex appeal. 0:58:00.120 --> 0:58:03.560 At its maximon it's somebody that wants to show off. 0:58:04.080 --> 0:58:07.960 But I also like this concept of you know, sometimes 0:58:07.960 --> 0:58:10.280 you just want to really you want a small phone, 0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:13.120 but you want a big screen, and so it solves 0:58:13.200 --> 0:58:16.440 that need of people that want that, and I just 0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:19.560 I find it so light. So it's that like people 0:58:19.560 --> 0:58:22.000 that are looking for the convenience of a large phone 0:58:22.040 --> 0:58:24.480 experience on a small package. That's what it is. But 0:58:24.560 --> 0:58:26.920 now they've improved the app, they've proved the outer screen 0:58:26.960 --> 0:58:30.240 to be larger. The interesting part though, is as opposed 0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:35.120 to Balltarola, they made it more of a selfie thing. 0:58:35.640 --> 0:58:37.840 You know, you still have the widgets. You can't really 0:58:37.920 --> 0:58:38.880 run apps on it. 0:58:39.400 --> 0:58:43.880 The outer screen is more for just basic tasks things 0:58:44.000 --> 0:58:46.560 glancing at notifications, and it's nice to have that in 0:58:46.600 --> 0:58:50.439 a large format, but to run entire apps on there 0:58:50.520 --> 0:58:52.520 you probably don't. Although the ones that you can run 0:58:52.760 --> 0:58:58.560 we tested this yesterday, Netflix, YouTube, Google Maps, and there's 0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:00.600 one more that I can't remember right out. But so 0:59:00.640 --> 0:59:03.320 those three now I get it. Those are good use cases. 0:59:03.400 --> 0:59:05.480 Google Maps, you want to glance your map, see what's 0:59:05.480 --> 0:59:07.960 going on. YouTube, you watch a little video on the 0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:11.720 tiny screen on the outside. Whatever, Netflix, same thing. So 0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:15.560 and maybe more app makers that. I think it depends 0:59:15.600 --> 0:59:18.400 on the app if it's necessary or reasonable to have 0:59:18.480 --> 0:59:21.600 it on that outside screen. But otherwise you get this phone. 0:59:21.760 --> 0:59:24.560 It's just like you said, it's kind of fun. It's different. 0:59:24.680 --> 0:59:27.800 You want something that's different. Now, let's talk about the 0:59:27.840 --> 0:59:30.400 fold because this is an entirely different beast. 0:59:30.480 --> 0:59:33.080 That's my baby. Yeah, so you carry this device. 0:59:33.280 --> 0:59:35.440 I've carried it all year for three years. 0:59:35.960 --> 0:59:39.480 Tell me about your thoughts about the Fulton, because. 0:59:39.120 --> 0:59:40.400 I am an active user. 0:59:41.120 --> 0:59:43.640 If it's like if they grabbed my wish list, then 0:59:43.640 --> 0:59:46.520 they fixed it. Like I don't like the crackling noise 0:59:46.560 --> 0:59:47.480 on the hinge. 0:59:47.160 --> 0:59:47.920 I don't know. 0:59:47.960 --> 0:59:50.080 I would cringe at it, and now it's gone like 0:59:50.160 --> 0:59:52.920 cringe at the hinge. Yes, that's that's a good put 0:59:53.080 --> 0:59:55.240 right there. I would hate that. 0:59:55.720 --> 0:59:58.440 I want it and not. 0:59:58.400 --> 1:00:02.000 Necessarily tucked in, but I want to be uh, you know, 1:00:02.520 --> 1:00:04.760 I didn't want the case to be this like bulky thing, 1:00:04.880 --> 1:00:06.480 and it's been that way for two years. 1:00:07.600 --> 1:00:07.800 Now. 1:00:07.840 --> 1:00:10.040 They fixed that. They've made a smaller spen. 1:00:10.360 --> 1:00:13.120 A case that removes the. 1:00:13.040 --> 1:00:16.920 Camera bump uh and adds an s meen in a 1:00:16.920 --> 1:00:17.520 smart way. 1:00:17.600 --> 1:00:18.240 I like it. 1:00:18.280 --> 1:00:20.480 So, just to be clear, the spen sits on the 1:00:20.480 --> 1:00:22.280 case on the outside, on the back. 1:00:22.120 --> 1:00:24.480 And it's an optional part. Yeah, it's still like it 1:00:24.600 --> 1:00:26.400 used to be least year, but it has the advantage 1:00:26.400 --> 1:00:29.040 that now it's a lot more compact. It resembles more 1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:32.600 of the spen on the Galaxys series with the exception 1:00:32.720 --> 1:00:34.800 that it's longer so it's easier to grab. 1:00:35.000 --> 1:00:36.880 I like that. If you want to make a phone. 1:00:36.680 --> 1:00:39.080 This, then there's no way you're going to the camera. 1:00:39.120 --> 1:00:43.720 Technology is all about physics, so the cameras protrude a lot. 1:00:44.280 --> 1:00:46.800 This phone is a wobbling nightmare on a table. And 1:00:46.840 --> 1:00:50.840 because it's so, because it's slimmer than most phones, it 1:00:51.000 --> 1:00:53.040 just wobbles so much more than any other thing that 1:00:53.080 --> 1:00:55.160 I've used. And so it's good that you can get 1:00:55.160 --> 1:00:58.120 the case and solve that problem. And at the same time, 1:00:58.160 --> 1:00:59.760 you know it does the fav does you the favor 1:00:59.800 --> 1:01:01.760 of you the pen if you wanted. Going back to 1:01:01.800 --> 1:01:04.520 your point, I like what they did. I know a 1:01:04.520 --> 1:01:08.080 lot of people are complaining about the screen being not wide. 1:01:07.880 --> 1:01:09.560 Enough in comparison to the competition. 1:01:10.240 --> 1:01:13.800 I tried to move away from Zebolt four for pixel 1:01:13.840 --> 1:01:18.040 fold I'm sorry, I can't believe this is a foldable 1:01:18.120 --> 1:01:21.760 mate by Google. I actually like the outer screen for 1:01:21.920 --> 1:01:25.240 like quick interactions, and if I need a big screen, 1:01:25.280 --> 1:01:28.200 I just open the phone because that's the whole point. 1:01:28.720 --> 1:01:31.440 So I will mostly spend my time opening the phone. 1:01:31.680 --> 1:01:33.720 But if I'm like on the go, have you ever 1:01:33.760 --> 1:01:35.800 tried to juggle at iPhone FOURT FROMAX. 1:01:36.080 --> 1:01:37.880 It's a lot. It's a lot. 1:01:37.960 --> 1:01:40.880 And so it's that thing where you want a big screen, 1:01:40.920 --> 1:01:43.440 but you don't always want a big screen. And I 1:01:43.600 --> 1:01:47.640 like how how that that thinner and narrower profile conforms 1:01:47.640 --> 1:01:48.960 to your pocket so much. 1:01:48.760 --> 1:01:50.400 Better than the pixel fold. 1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:52.920 And so there are things about the pixel fold, like 1:01:52.920 --> 1:01:54.480 if you're if you're, if you want to watch like 1:01:54.520 --> 1:01:56.080 a video on the outer street, and then so much 1:01:56.080 --> 1:01:58.640 more convenient. Yes, if you want to do like the 1:01:58.680 --> 1:02:01.920 flex mode, yes it's convenient. I can get all those things. 1:02:02.360 --> 1:02:04.920 But for some reason I find myself like opening it 1:02:05.160 --> 1:02:08.760 and then flipping it around because Android and landscape is terrible. 1:02:09.240 --> 1:02:11.080 And that's the other thing about it is that if 1:02:11.120 --> 1:02:15.200 you are traveling or you're moving around any sort of way, 1:02:15.760 --> 1:02:18.120 this really becomes a phone and a. 1:02:18.120 --> 1:02:21.200 Tablet, right right, And then that's a thing like I 1:02:21.280 --> 1:02:23.640 you know me, like my bag, you just you just 1:02:23.720 --> 1:02:24.680 held my back back. 1:02:24.680 --> 1:02:26.760 I took it down from the overhead compartment. 1:02:26.920 --> 1:02:30.240 Yeah, and if that weighs more than twenty pounds, yeah, 1:02:30.280 --> 1:02:33.440 from the laptop to the cameras to the gear. I 1:02:33.520 --> 1:02:35.360 have the cherry pick what I carry. So I don't 1:02:35.360 --> 1:02:37.720 want to carry a kindle. I don't want to carry 1:02:38.120 --> 1:02:40.840 like for me, my fold is my e reader. It's 1:02:40.920 --> 1:02:42.080 like my workhorse. 1:02:42.720 --> 1:02:46.560 Any takeaways from Korea, I guess my experiences. 1:02:46.960 --> 1:02:49.600 You know, same thing as the largest smartphone manufacturer in 1:02:49.680 --> 1:02:54.760 the world, and I have to admire their humbleness in 1:02:54.880 --> 1:02:57.919 listening to feedback at every session that I was in. 1:02:58.320 --> 1:03:00.600 We're gonna leave it there. I think we have nine 1:03:00.640 --> 1:03:03.000 hours left on the flight, but I only have a 1:03:03.040 --> 1:03:06.760 three hour show, and I think food is getting served. 1:03:06.800 --> 1:03:07.440 himI Rivera. 1:03:07.760 --> 1:03:09.080 How can folks find you? 1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:11.600 Oh, you can find me on Instagram him Riveta there 1:03:11.840 --> 1:03:15.320 or YouTube is on YouTube. 1:03:15.320 --> 1:03:18.240 We're at Pocket now and you've been there for as 1:03:18.280 --> 1:03:19.680 its YouTube started pretty much. 1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:22.160 And then on Twitter him underscore Riveta. 1:03:22.200 --> 1:03:24.560 Which is is it X now?

You guys are really fired up 1:04:20.720 --> 1:04:23.960 about this Twitter stuff. I didn't realize that so many 1:04:23.960 --> 1:04:28.080 people were so invested in the name Twitter. Let's go 1:04:28.080 --> 1:04:30.960 to Gloria in Pacoima. Gloria. You're on with rich. 1:04:32.280 --> 1:04:34.600 Hi, Rich, thank you. 1:04:34.760 --> 1:04:34.840 What. 1:04:35.120 --> 1:04:44.160 I bought a Sony phone, the new Experia what xp. 1:04:45.960 --> 1:04:46.680 Okay and. 1:04:48.440 --> 1:04:52.520 I finally got it. I thought it was made in Japan. 1:04:53.520 --> 1:04:58.400 It says made in Taiwan. There's no charge table. I 1:04:58.440 --> 1:05:02.320 can't believe it. And there's two little pieces of paper 1:05:03.560 --> 1:05:10.240 And when I went online to find out is this normal? 1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:17.040 And apparently people usually get a lot more paper so 1:05:17.760 --> 1:05:21.240 I was even jipped on the paper. Whatever is going 1:05:21.280 --> 1:05:29.640 on with that, I don't know. But when I talked 1:05:29.680 --> 1:05:34.040 to the guy where I picked it up at Best Bite, 1:05:34.320 --> 1:05:37.800 he said that I should be able to just go 1:05:37.880 --> 1:05:42.520 on the phone and the phone will direct you through it. 1:05:43.760 --> 1:05:46.760 But what about the charge cable? I had no idea. 1:05:46.840 --> 1:05:48.880 There was no table in the box. 1:05:51.040 --> 1:05:54.760 Well, yeah, I mean that's I'm not familiar with this particular. 1:05:55.720 --> 1:05:57.960 You know this box, what's in there? But this is 1:05:58.000 --> 1:06:01.840 funny because you know, people do these YouTube videos on boxings, 1:06:02.400 --> 1:06:05.680 and so it tells you what's in the box. Now, historically, 1:06:06.560 --> 1:06:10.600 you know, we've gotten rid of the charging brick like 1:06:10.680 --> 1:06:13.400 that doesn't come in the box. But typically I have 1:06:13.480 --> 1:06:17.000 not seen a phone come without a charging cable. Typically 1:06:17.080 --> 1:06:21.360 it has at least a USB cable. So it doesn't 1:06:21.360 --> 1:06:22.080 have that at all. 1:06:23.240 --> 1:06:27.120 And it's in the paper that I got. I read 1:06:27.480 --> 1:06:32.920 and it said you need to use Sony cable. And 1:06:33.000 --> 1:06:37.200 I'm like, are you kidding? You know why this Sony cable? 1:06:37.360 --> 1:06:38.480 This is nuts? 1:06:38.720 --> 1:06:41.440 That is nuts. You don't need to use a Sony 1:06:41.480 --> 1:06:45.439 cable for sure. I'm trying to see. Usually they have 1:06:46.440 --> 1:06:49.080 kind of like what's in the box on these things, 1:06:49.120 --> 1:06:52.120 and I'm trying to find a video about it, and 1:06:52.160 --> 1:06:54.760 I can't. I can't seem to find a video that 1:06:54.920 --> 1:06:56.520 has like what's an unboxing? 1:06:57.480 --> 1:07:01.840 Yeah, on YouTube, and this is this is basically it. 1:07:02.040 --> 1:07:04.640 Oh it is okay. So people have confirmed that that's okay. 1:07:04.920 --> 1:07:08.600 It's with a lot more instructions. I guess I'm not 1:07:08.640 --> 1:07:14.560 really sure if their instructions or things in different language. 1:07:14.800 --> 1:07:18.240 Well most most okay. Now that's you know, look a 1:07:18.280 --> 1:07:22.160 couple things. Where did you buy this phone? That's fine, Oh, 1:07:22.160 --> 1:07:26.400 you bought it best Buy. Okay. So there is a 1:07:26.520 --> 1:07:32.400 full instruction manual online, so you can download that. It's 1:07:32.640 --> 1:07:34.760 available on the website. Now, the reason why they don't 1:07:34.760 --> 1:07:36.360 include it in the box. You know, when we used 1:07:36.360 --> 1:07:38.480 to get boxes of stuff, there's a big old manual, 1:07:38.560 --> 1:07:42.600 there's all kinds of paperwork. These companies have really doubled 1:07:42.640 --> 1:07:45.920 down on sustainability, which means they're trying to make the 1:07:45.960 --> 1:07:50.840 packaging recyclable. They're using less packaging, they're using less materials 1:07:50.920 --> 1:07:54.080 inside the boxes, and so it is a trend that 1:07:54.160 --> 1:07:57.320 we're definitely getting less in the box. But I think 1:07:57.360 --> 1:08:00.040 that's a good thing. In fact, the Sony headphone and 1:08:00.080 --> 1:08:03.480 I'm going to talk about in a moment. They actually 1:08:04.440 --> 1:08:08.160 the entire box is recyclable, it's paper, it's minimalistic and 1:08:08.200 --> 1:08:10.919 almost you couldn't believe that these are three hundred dollars 1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:14.880 he earbuds inside this box because it feels fake. It's 1:08:14.920 --> 1:08:18.960 like so minimalistic. So I think I think you have 1:08:19.000 --> 1:08:23.519 a legitimate phone here. I think that it's fine. The cable, 1:08:23.640 --> 1:08:26.360 you don't need to worry about getting a Sony cable. 1:08:26.479 --> 1:08:30.800 Any USBC cable will work. I would recommend just going 1:08:30.880 --> 1:08:34.360 on Amazon getting an Amazon Basics cable, or you can 1:08:34.400 --> 1:08:36.479 go to a company like mana Price and get a 1:08:36.520 --> 1:08:40.120 cable there. I mean, there's many many cables you can get. 1:08:40.120 --> 1:08:41.839 I think they're all going to be fine. A Balkan 1:08:41.920 --> 1:08:46.840 cable will be fine. Just get USB C to USB C. 1:08:47.920 --> 1:08:55.519 And do you have a charger for this phone? Okay, 1:08:55.560 --> 1:08:57.599 so you have a way to charge it? What about 1:08:57.640 --> 1:08:58.439 what was your old. 1:08:58.280 --> 1:09:03.960 Phone I couldn't use. I used to just plug it in. Uh, 1:09:04.600 --> 1:09:13.200 it came with a cable and a little adapter to your. 1:09:13.640 --> 1:09:16.599 To the wall. But does does your old does your 1:09:16.600 --> 1:09:19.240 old charging cable and adapter work with this new phone? 1:09:19.280 --> 1:09:21.120 Did you have USB C before. 1:09:22.320 --> 1:09:25.720 What I don't know. I have to look and see, Okay. 1:09:25.479 --> 1:09:28.600 So so check to see if that connects, uh to 1:09:28.720 --> 1:09:30.840 the you know, to the new phone if you have 1:09:30.880 --> 1:09:33.400 an older Android, you had an Android phone before? Which 1:09:33.439 --> 1:09:34.200 which one do you know? 1:09:35.840 --> 1:09:38.680 Oh, it's a piece of garbage, A Moto G. 1:09:39.720 --> 1:09:41.280 A Moto Okay. 1:09:41.360 --> 1:09:45.719 Yeah, it wasn't updating and I couldn't make it update. 1:09:45.880 --> 1:09:47.080 It was insane. 1:09:47.360 --> 1:09:50.360 Okay, Well, the Moto G probably, unless it's a really 1:09:50.400 --> 1:09:52.840 old one, it probably should have USB C on it 1:09:52.960 --> 1:09:56.400 so that that cable should work, you know, if it's 1:09:56.400 --> 1:09:58.960 as it was a really old phone. I mean, Android 1:09:59.000 --> 1:10:01.000 has had USBC for a long time, so I think 1:10:01.040 --> 1:10:03.439 you should be okay with that charger and it should. 1:10:03.640 --> 1:10:05.040 As long as you plug it in and it charges 1:10:05.080 --> 1:10:07.040 your phone, you're good. You don't need a special cable 1:10:07.040 --> 1:10:10.200 for that. As for the manual, you can get that 1:10:10.240 --> 1:10:15.960 online easily. Just google Sony Experia one five one V 1:10:16.520 --> 1:10:20.640 and there is an entire manual on there, and I 1:10:20.680 --> 1:10:22.719 think you're good to go. I mean, I know it's different. 1:10:22.840 --> 1:10:27.080 Sony is not not as prevalent here in the US 1:10:27.120 --> 1:10:30.760 with their smartphones, so you know, a lot of people 1:10:30.800 --> 1:10:32.799 say the cameras are good on these. I haven't personally 1:10:32.800 --> 1:10:36.080 tested this one, but the reality is it's just a 1:10:36.120 --> 1:10:39.120 matter of Sony is not really focused on the US market. 1:10:39.120 --> 1:10:43.200 The US market is dominated by Samsung, it's dominated by Apple, 1:10:43.560 --> 1:10:46.800 and then the Google Pixel is trying and it's doing 1:10:46.840 --> 1:10:49.720 its best. So I think you're fine. I think your 1:10:49.760 --> 1:10:53.400 phone's fine. I don't think it's you know, defective or 1:10:53.800 --> 1:10:57.519 not legitimate, especially if you got it from best Buy. So, Gloria, 1:10:57.560 --> 1:11:02.479 thanks for calling. Appreciate that. Let's go to Kierra. Is 1:11:02.520 --> 1:11:04.120 that Am I saying that right in Indiana? 1:11:04.880 --> 1:11:05.160 Yeah? 1:11:05.520 --> 1:11:06.320 Yeah, that's funny. 1:11:06.800 --> 1:11:09.160 Hi, welcome to the show. I'm doing great. 1:11:09.439 --> 1:11:09.839 Thanks. 1:11:10.320 --> 1:11:14.639 I was just driving and booking channels around and heard 1:11:14.680 --> 1:11:17.120 you on the radio and heard you talking about Samsung. 1:11:18.520 --> 1:11:22.240 So I'm a mobile gamer and I used sam fun 1:11:22.400 --> 1:11:26.240 phone for game. I can't have a stands on S 1:11:26.320 --> 1:11:31.879 twenty one Ultra and not too long ago, I think January, 1:11:32.360 --> 1:11:35.280 at the beginning of the year. I'm looking to upgrade 1:11:35.280 --> 1:11:39.640 it and I found up and looking around. So I 1:11:39.680 --> 1:11:41.759 have the Ultra and I do really good. I'm applying 1:11:41.760 --> 1:11:43.840 with it. I like the SPS and everything. Sure, he 1:11:43.920 --> 1:11:45.960 heaps up a little bit here and there, but it's 1:11:46.080 --> 1:11:47.080 death and I just put a. 1:11:47.000 --> 1:11:47.599 Fan on it. 1:11:49.320 --> 1:11:51.519 So I was looking around and I was going to 1:11:51.640 --> 1:11:54.559 upgrade to the S twenty two, and then I found 1:11:54.600 --> 1:11:58.400 out through watching YouTube videos with S twenty two Ultra 1:11:59.160 --> 1:12:02.479 actually isn't as good a gaming phone as an S 1:12:02.520 --> 1:12:07.240 twenty two plus. For some reason. The S twenty two 1:12:07.240 --> 1:12:15.840 plus gets a better SPS rate and. 1:12:12.920 --> 1:12:13.599 Stuff like that. 1:12:13.720 --> 1:12:17.040 So I was wondering. I was curious from you if 1:12:17.080 --> 1:12:21.920 you had any suggestions on mobile gaming phonies, like because 1:12:22.360 --> 1:12:24.080 I know they came out with the S twenty three. 1:12:24.479 --> 1:12:24.799 Yeah. 1:12:24.840 --> 1:12:28.519 Well, here's the thing. The S twenty three Ultra, from 1:12:28.520 --> 1:12:30.840 what I was told, when you know going through that 1:12:30.880 --> 1:12:34.400 whole thing, it has an improved cooling system, and so 1:12:34.720 --> 1:12:37.880 I think that that's probably the most important aspect for gaming, 1:12:37.920 --> 1:12:40.679 because you want to keep your phone cool while you're 1:12:40.760 --> 1:12:42.840 charging it, if you're gaming, while you have it plugged in, 1:12:43.360 --> 1:12:45.720 or you know, if you're gaming, it's it's running that 1:12:45.760 --> 1:12:49.720 phone pretty the most intense it can be run. So 1:12:49.960 --> 1:12:52.040 I personally would probably take a look at the S 1:12:52.080 --> 1:12:55.040 twenty three Ultra just because now the S twenty three 1:12:55.320 --> 1:12:58.760 entire lineup has the better vapor chamber cooling system, but 1:12:58.800 --> 1:13:01.280 they made a big deal about this when we were 1:13:01.320 --> 1:13:04.600 testing out the phone, and so it doesn't and just 1:13:04.680 --> 1:13:07.760 personally using the device, it doesn't get that warm. I 1:13:07.800 --> 1:13:10.200 mean compared to a lot of devices like my iPhone 1:13:10.240 --> 1:13:12.479 the other day it was getting like so warm, you know, 1:13:12.520 --> 1:13:14.000 it gets to that point where you can't see the 1:13:14.000 --> 1:13:17.120 screen anymore because it's so hot. But I haven't really 1:13:17.120 --> 1:13:19.080 seen that happen with the S twenty three Ultra, So 1:13:19.120 --> 1:13:21.680 i'd probably take a look into that and see some 1:13:21.720 --> 1:13:24.080 comparisons about that on YouTube, because I think that the 1:13:24.680 --> 1:13:26.640 new cooling system on the S twenty three Ultra is 1:13:26.680 --> 1:13:29.040 even better than what you're gonna find on the S 1:13:29.080 --> 1:13:32.000 twenty two. And if that's the important part to you, Kierra, 1:13:32.200 --> 1:13:34.120 that's what I would do. So thanks for the call. 1:13:34.200 --> 1:13:36.840 Appreciate you finding me on the radio today.

If you want to get 1:14:06.800 --> 1:14:11.320 your comments in, I'm on x formerly Twitter at rich 1:14:11.400 --> 1:14:15.360 on Tech. You can also email hello at Richontech dot tv, 1:14:15.560 --> 1:14:18.120 or go to the website rich on Tech dot tv, 1:14:18.360 --> 1:14:22.599 hit contact and send your message that way. A couple 1:14:22.600 --> 1:14:25.519 of things I tested out on my trip to Korea 1:14:26.160 --> 1:14:28.920 a new pair of Sony headphones. These are new, I 1:14:29.000 --> 1:14:32.400 keep calling them headphones. They're really wireless earbuds. They're the 1:14:33.080 --> 1:14:38.160 WF one thousand X fives. Say that ten times fast. 1:14:38.600 --> 1:14:42.559 But I will tell you they're small. They have great 1:14:42.640 --> 1:14:46.559 noise cancellation. I mean these things are tiny, even the 1:14:46.640 --> 1:14:50.200 charging case is tiny. Really good sound quality. I mean 1:14:50.240 --> 1:14:54.080 it's Sony after all. They support high resolution music formats. 1:14:54.600 --> 1:14:57.439 They have a bunch of microphones on them, more than before. 1:14:57.560 --> 1:15:00.439 Plus AI technology to make sure that it's here your 1:15:00.520 --> 1:15:02.960 voice and only your voice when you're on phone calls, 1:15:03.000 --> 1:15:05.920 even when you're in a noisy environment. It actually knows 1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:08.759 when you're talking based on the vibration of the bones 1:15:08.840 --> 1:15:14.160 in your cheek. So it's really, really smart. It's tiny, 1:15:14.360 --> 1:15:17.320 twenty five percent smaller than before, twenty percent lighter than 1:15:17.360 --> 1:15:20.679 previous Sony earbuds. They are comfortable to wear. In fact, 1:15:21.240 --> 1:15:23.599 when I started the interview with himI on the plane, 1:15:23.680 --> 1:15:26.200 I still had my earbuds in. I didn't even realize 1:15:26.240 --> 1:15:29.479 that they were in because I forgot about them. Battery 1:15:29.760 --> 1:15:34.280 lasts forever on these things, up to eight hours on 1:15:34.320 --> 1:15:37.799 a charge. The case provides up to twenty four hours total. 1:15:38.280 --> 1:15:40.519 You plug them in for three minutes, you get sixty 1:15:40.560 --> 1:15:42.719 minutes worth of play. So if you forget to charge 1:15:42.760 --> 1:15:45.759 these and you need to use them, very very easy. 1:15:46.120 --> 1:15:46.360 Again. 1:15:46.400 --> 1:15:49.760 These are the new Sony wireless earbuds, the WF one 1:15:49.840 --> 1:15:53.080 thousand x five. These would be the equivalent to like 1:15:53.120 --> 1:15:55.920 the Bows noise canceling headphones that go over your ears, 1:15:55.920 --> 1:15:57.200 but like for earbuds. 1:15:57.720 --> 1:15:57.880 Now. 1:15:57.920 --> 1:16:01.120 The coolest feature that I used on these, and I 1:16:01.200 --> 1:16:05.719 can't tell you how amazing this was multi device connection, 1:16:06.400 --> 1:16:09.400 so you can connect these too. I had it connected 1:16:09.479 --> 1:16:13.599 to three three devices. Maybe it just works with two, 1:16:13.640 --> 1:16:16.000 but I kept switching back and forth. And the coolest 1:16:16.000 --> 1:16:18.280 thing was I was editing on my laptop and I 1:16:18.320 --> 1:16:21.080 was listening to music on my phone and there is 1:16:21.160 --> 1:16:23.680 no need to switch. You don't have to say, oh, 1:16:23.720 --> 1:16:25.519 I want to connect, I want to play something on here. 1:16:25.560 --> 1:16:27.559 It just figured it out. When I started playing music 1:16:27.560 --> 1:16:30.120 on my phone, okay, the music came through the earbuds. 1:16:30.360 --> 1:16:33.240 When I started editing on my computer, the editing audio 1:16:33.320 --> 1:16:36.439 came through the earbuds, so they automatically switched with multi 1:16:36.479 --> 1:16:39.799 device connection. It was incredible. It's such a cool feature. 1:16:40.280 --> 1:16:42.600 It's kind of like what Apple does, but you have 1:16:42.680 --> 1:16:45.839 to have all Apple products. This works with any product 1:16:46.000 --> 1:16:49.840 and it's really really good. It also works with voice assistants, 1:16:49.920 --> 1:16:51.519 so you can have it set up to work with 1:16:51.560 --> 1:16:55.000 Google Assistant and Alexa they also have. The ear tips 1:16:55.080 --> 1:16:57.680 are very different. They are not silicone. They're almost like 1:16:57.880 --> 1:17:03.439 a spongy what with this like a foamy, spongy material, 1:17:04.040 --> 1:17:06.080 and it fits very comfortably in your ear. But I 1:17:06.080 --> 1:17:08.519 will tell you these definitely fell out of my ears 1:17:08.600 --> 1:17:10.000 a little or they felt like they were going to 1:17:10.080 --> 1:17:12.800 fall out a little bit more so that could be 1:17:13.000 --> 1:17:14.880 the ear tips. Maybe I have to adjust them. I 1:17:14.880 --> 1:17:18.799 did try a different size, but overall, I'm really really 1:17:19.360 --> 1:17:24.280 liking these. These earbuds from Sony Brand New again WF 1:17:24.400 --> 1:17:27.960 one thousand x five three hundred dollars though, so they 1:17:27.960 --> 1:17:31.280 are very very expensive, and so I will tell you 1:17:31.320 --> 1:17:33.680 that I also like a pair of earbuds from OnePlus 1:17:33.680 --> 1:17:36.760 called the Nord Buds that are forty dollars and they 1:17:36.800 --> 1:17:39.519 are really really good. So I don't know if you 1:17:39.560 --> 1:17:41.519 have to spend three hundred if you're traveling a lot 1:17:41.600 --> 1:17:44.040 and you want something that's really high quality and that 1:17:44.200 --> 1:17:48.680 convenience and the battery, these are really really good. I 1:17:48.720 --> 1:17:51.120 have not looked at what other reviewers are saying about them, 1:17:51.479 --> 1:17:53.479 so I can't tell you what they're saying. But for 1:17:53.560 --> 1:17:56.360 me personally, I think that these are pretty good. The 1:17:56.400 --> 1:17:59.200 only downside I would say is for three hundred dollars, 1:17:59.200 --> 1:18:00.880 i'd want them to feel like they're falling out of 1:18:00.920 --> 1:18:04.840 my ears less. The other thing I tested is this 1:18:05.240 --> 1:18:08.880 one World charger, and this was pretty incredible as well. 1:18:08.920 --> 1:18:11.720 This is a travel adapter, you know, like you get 1:18:11.720 --> 1:18:13.600 one of those power converters, you know, they're usually like 1:18:13.640 --> 1:18:16.280 twenty bucks. Well, the difference with this one is that 1:18:16.320 --> 1:18:20.000 it's got five It can charge five devices at once, 1:18:20.720 --> 1:18:24.479 including a tablet and a laptop at the same time. 1:18:25.040 --> 1:18:29.400 So on the bottom of this one World Adapter It 1:18:29.439 --> 1:18:33.320 has four USB outputs. It's got two USB C and 1:18:33.360 --> 1:18:37.120 two USBA, so you can charge things. The two USB 1:18:37.400 --> 1:18:41.040 c's can charge up to one hundred watts. That means 1:18:41.080 --> 1:18:43.759 it can charge your MacBook, it can charge a tablet, 1:18:44.200 --> 1:18:46.080 it can charge them both at the same time. It 1:18:46.080 --> 1:18:48.599 can charge your iPhone obviously you're Android, and it will 1:18:48.600 --> 1:18:51.120 do it all very very fast. And of course on 1:18:51.160 --> 1:18:53.439 the top there's a standard AC outlet so you can 1:18:53.439 --> 1:18:56.320 plug in anything. But the neat thing about this device 1:18:56.560 --> 1:18:59.639 is that it charges everything all at once. It works 1:18:59.640 --> 1:19:01.880 in over two hundred countries. You know. You slide out 1:19:01.880 --> 1:19:06.000 the little adapters to plug it in, and it was great. 1:19:06.400 --> 1:19:09.040 I have no problems with this device except the price. 1:19:09.120 --> 1:19:12.720 It is expensive again, it's about one hundred dollars. But 1:19:12.880 --> 1:19:15.320 the neat thing is if you get this device, if 1:19:15.320 --> 1:19:17.080 you're traveling a lot, you don't need this if you're 1:19:17.120 --> 1:19:19.639 not traveling the world a lot. But if you're traveling 1:19:19.680 --> 1:19:21.160 a lot and you don't want to carry a bunch 1:19:21.200 --> 1:19:24.280 of different adapters, then this is great because you don't 1:19:24.320 --> 1:19:27.719 need any other power plugs to plug into an adapter. 1:19:27.800 --> 1:19:30.200 So when I was traveling to Italy last year, I 1:19:30.280 --> 1:19:33.360 had you know my twenty twenty five dollars Epica adapter 1:19:33.479 --> 1:19:36.160 whatever it's called from Amazon, and it was great, But 1:19:36.560 --> 1:19:39.280 it doesn't charge the USB fast. I had a couple 1:19:39.280 --> 1:19:42.320 of USB ports, doesn't charge them fast. And you also 1:19:42.400 --> 1:19:45.400 need a separate plug to plug into there because you 1:19:45.439 --> 1:19:47.880 need an adapter to plug in your stuff. And so 1:19:48.240 --> 1:19:50.400 this is all in one, and they make them in 1:19:50.400 --> 1:19:53.120 different models. By the way, I tried the OneWorld one hundred. 1:19:53.160 --> 1:19:55.640 They've got a sixty five and a thirty. That's how 1:19:55.720 --> 1:19:58.479 many watts they output. So with the sixty five you 1:19:58.479 --> 1:20:00.840 could do a MacBook. With the thirty watt you can 1:20:00.920 --> 1:20:03.719 just do an iPad and an iPhone at the fast speeds. 1:20:04.240 --> 1:20:07.400 So again, if you want to see this stuff, I've 1:20:07.400 --> 1:20:10.080 got it linked up on my Instagram, at least for 1:20:10.120 --> 1:20:14.800 the travel adapter. It's at rich on Tech on Instagram. 1:20:15.439 --> 1:20:19.479 Let's go to doc doc is in Montana. Doc You're 1:20:19.479 --> 1:20:20.280 on with rich. 1:20:20.760 --> 1:20:22.920 Hey, how you doing it? Is a great show? Thank 1:20:23.000 --> 1:20:23.760 you every week. 1:20:23.960 --> 1:20:24.760 Appreciate that. 1:20:25.040 --> 1:20:25.439 Thank you. 1:20:25.479 --> 1:20:26.519 What can I help you with? 1:20:27.080 --> 1:20:29.759 Okay, let's start out by telling you I have really 1:20:29.800 --> 1:20:34.000 really bad eyesight, and when I get used to doing something, 1:20:34.160 --> 1:20:35.559 I like to keep it the same weight. 1:20:35.960 --> 1:20:37.160 Okay, understandable. 1:20:37.880 --> 1:20:42.120 I've been using Windows seven, but more and more websites 1:20:42.120 --> 1:20:44.400 are telling me that you have to update to ten. 1:20:44.720 --> 1:20:52.400 You can't. You can't update browsers or whatever. So I'm 1:20:52.400 --> 1:20:54.639 afraid of losing everything. I mean, how do you back 1:20:54.680 --> 1:20:58.679 stuff up? Well, you always hear back up the computer, 1:20:58.720 --> 1:21:00.000 but nobody tells you how to do it. 1:21:00.560 --> 1:21:04.400 Well, that's a good question. So the new Gosh, so 1:21:04.520 --> 1:21:07.000 you're on Windows seven. So Windows seven end of life 1:21:07.080 --> 1:21:09.280 was back in twenty twenty. So that's why you're getting 1:21:09.280 --> 1:21:12.719 these messages that say, you know, you could get infected 1:21:12.760 --> 1:21:15.439 with the viruses. The software is not up to date anymore. 1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:20.400 Windows seven, I don't believe that it has the Windows 1:21:20.439 --> 1:21:25.360 backup built in because Windows ten and Windows eleven has 1:21:25.400 --> 1:21:29.200 a simple Windows backup built into it. Let me see 1:21:29.840 --> 1:21:31.439 built in backup now. 1:21:32.280 --> 1:21:34.960 I was in touch with I think they called the 1:21:35.040 --> 1:21:39.960 Disability Helpline or whatever at Microsoft, and they sent me 1:21:40.000 --> 1:21:42.439 some of all a media creation tool, but they told 1:21:42.479 --> 1:21:45.960 me not to not to use it until I backed 1:21:46.000 --> 1:21:46.599 up the computer. 1:21:46.800 --> 1:21:48.880 Yeah, okay, yeah, no, that would be okay, okay, So 1:21:48.920 --> 1:21:50.960 there is the backup tool on Windows seven. It's been 1:21:51.000 --> 1:21:53.720 a while so if you have a hard drive, do 1:21:53.760 --> 1:21:55.880 you have an external heart? Can you procure one of these? 1:21:56.960 --> 1:21:57.520 Uh? 1:21:57.600 --> 1:21:58.880 Can I put on a flash drive? 1:21:59.560 --> 1:22:01.680 Flash drive is probably not going to hold everything that 1:22:01.760 --> 1:22:05.040 you need, you know, because this is going to back 1:22:05.120 --> 1:22:06.559 up basically your entire computer. 1:22:06.800 --> 1:22:10.040 So I just ordered one that's big enough to do 1:22:10.120 --> 1:22:10.719 the whole computer. 1:22:10.800 --> 1:22:12.320 Okay, Well, if you got the flash drive for the 1:22:12.320 --> 1:22:15.800 biggest yeah, then that that should be okay. So if 1:22:15.840 --> 1:22:19.320 you go to start control panel, system and security, they've 1:22:19.320 --> 1:22:22.479 got to back up and restore. And so you connect 1:22:22.520 --> 1:22:25.240 your drive, you say, set up back up, and then 1:22:25.400 --> 1:22:28.280 you will put your drive in there and then it 1:22:28.360 --> 1:22:31.280 will run the backup and you can choose what you 1:22:31.320 --> 1:22:34.320 want backed up. By default, it's going to be your documents, 1:22:34.360 --> 1:22:37.519 your music, your pictures, your videos. And then of course 1:22:37.600 --> 1:22:40.040 you can also do a whole system image as well, 1:22:40.600 --> 1:22:43.760 and so that that system image may take up a lot, 1:22:43.800 --> 1:22:45.400 and that's why I'm saying it may not fit on 1:22:45.400 --> 1:22:45.880 that drive. 1:22:46.640 --> 1:22:48.439 So all right, let me let me tell you what 1:22:48.520 --> 1:22:53.320 I'm looking at now. I went to my computer and 1:22:53.400 --> 1:22:55.200 I can see, you know, all the drives. One of 1:22:55.200 --> 1:22:57.599 them is the seed drive. Obviously it's the main drive. 1:22:58.920 --> 1:23:03.800 And then if I quick that I can go to 1:23:04.000 --> 1:23:07.800 use and then if I quick on that I can 1:23:07.880 --> 1:23:12.559 find Oh, my real name is Mark. I can find 1:23:12.560 --> 1:23:15.879 a fold of cold Mark. It has a lot closed 1:23:16.040 --> 1:23:18.360 lot next to it. I don't know what that's there for. 1:23:20.840 --> 1:23:25.479 That might brother. Can you open the folder? Yeah, okay, 1:23:25.520 --> 1:23:27.719 Well then the lock might just mean that it's encrypted, 1:23:27.840 --> 1:23:31.920 So that could be that that case, and. 1:23:31.880 --> 1:23:34.599 It shows you all of THEMS once you open ut 1:23:34.640 --> 1:23:36.040 of you know, I mean. 1:23:35.960 --> 1:23:39.320 Look, you can easily you can easily drag your stuff 1:23:39.360 --> 1:23:41.120 into this flask drive if you want to do it 1:23:41.160 --> 1:23:43.280 that way. I personally would use the built in tool. 1:23:43.400 --> 1:23:45.240 I would use the built in tool because that's going 1:23:45.320 --> 1:23:47.720 to get everything. It's going to find everything. It's going 1:23:47.800 --> 1:23:50.160 to do a system image if you want, which means 1:23:50.200 --> 1:23:52.160 you're going to have a full complete backup of this 1:23:52.280 --> 1:23:55.840 computer and then you'll be able to easily restore this 1:23:56.520 --> 1:23:59.000 if you need to if something goes wrong with the update. 1:23:59.080 --> 1:24:01.360 And that's what you're talking about that content creation tool. 1:24:01.479 --> 1:24:06.479 So again it's start control panel, system and security backup 1:24:06.520 --> 1:24:10.599 and restore and then select set up backup and then 1:24:10.680 --> 1:24:12.200 next thing, you know, you can put that in there 1:24:12.720 --> 1:24:16.120 and set your backup destination and you can back up 1:24:16.160 --> 1:24:18.759 to that flash drive that you were talking about. Hopefully 1:24:18.800 --> 1:24:21.559 you don't need the backup. Hopefully the content creation tool, 1:24:21.680 --> 1:24:25.600 everything migrates just fine. If you want something that's online, 1:24:25.720 --> 1:24:29.439 which might be easier, you can choose one of the 1:24:29.479 --> 1:24:32.479 backup solutions like I drive is a good solution and 1:24:32.600 --> 1:24:36.280 back blaze are both top rated. So perhaps look into 1:24:36.320 --> 1:24:38.960 something like that and you can just install their software 1:24:39.400 --> 1:24:41.519 and they would back up your computer and then you 1:24:41.520 --> 1:24:45.200 can go ahead with your migration to Windows ten or 1:24:45.240 --> 1:24:48.320 whatever you're going to upgrade too, and then if something 1:24:48.400 --> 1:24:51.840 goes wrong, you can then dip into these online backups. 1:24:52.160 --> 1:24:54.040 And the good news about the online backup is that 1:24:54.080 --> 1:24:56.800 it's in the cloud. It's fine. Now. If you're talking 1:24:56.800 --> 1:25:00.240 about a classic backup, we always recommend that you would 1:25:00.240 --> 1:25:02.800 have your computer backed up in at least two places, 1:25:03.160 --> 1:25:06.280 and that would be a physical drive and an online drive. 1:25:06.760 --> 1:25:09.639 And so you might think about a combination of those 1:25:09.680 --> 1:25:12.040 two things, especially if you're going through some sort of 1:25:12.120 --> 1:25:15.519 transition here with your computer where you're upgrading the software. 1:25:15.560 --> 1:25:18.080 You could lose what's on that drive and you want 1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:20.880 it somewhere else, and so having it on a backup 1:25:20.960 --> 1:25:23.760 drive external and in the cloud would probably be the 1:25:23.760 --> 1:25:26.240 best case scenario. But I think you'll be okay with 1:25:26.360 --> 1:25:30.679 just one of these things versus nothing. So again, Windows 1:25:30.680 --> 1:25:33.440 seven backup, and if you have Windows ten or eleven, 1:25:33.640 --> 1:25:37.200 there is a backup tool in there as well. So again, 1:25:37.439 --> 1:25:42.360 go into your account settings and uh it's accounts Windows 1:25:42.360 --> 1:25:45.120 backup and then you can back up all of your 1:25:45.160 --> 1:25:48.120 settings through there. So Windows does have a built in 1:25:48.240 --> 1:25:53.559 backup and I definitely recommend you use it. Okay, great call, Doc, 1:25:53.640 --> 1:25:56.360 thanks for calling from Montana today. Eight to eight Rich 1:25:56.439 --> 1:25:59.040 one O one eight eight eight seven four to two 1:25:59.320 --> 1:26:03.000 four to one zero one. You are listening to Rich 1:26:03.040 --> 1:26:07.519 on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro 1:26:07.680 --> 1:26:13.920 here and let's go to Joanne. Let's go to Joanne 1:26:13.920 --> 1:26:16.639 in Lakewood, Colorado. Joanne, you're on with Rich. 1:26:17.280 --> 1:26:19.200 Oh hi, Rich, thank you for taking my call. 1:26:19.360 --> 1:26:21.240 Hey, thanks for calling in. 1:26:21.880 --> 1:26:22.479 You're welcome. 1:26:22.479 --> 1:26:22.639 Man. 1:26:22.920 --> 1:26:25.480 I love your show. I'm learning a lot. Here's my issue. 1:26:26.240 --> 1:26:30.719 When I'm charging my phone, I Phone thirteen pro, both 1:26:30.840 --> 1:26:35.519 chargers I have get hot, and then the app when 1:26:35.560 --> 1:26:40.320 I hold the little White Singing and my phone will 1:26:40.360 --> 1:26:45.080 also get hot. So my concern is twofold an electrical 1:26:45.120 --> 1:26:48.599 fire or will my battery blow up? 1:26:49.720 --> 1:26:52.120 Yeah? Well, I mean, look, it's it's a concern. It 1:26:52.160 --> 1:26:55.280 doesn't happen very often. So I think you're okay, and 1:26:55.680 --> 1:26:59.960 I think it'll be fine. But what type of charge 1:27:00.080 --> 1:27:01.040 or are you using? 1:27:01.840 --> 1:27:06.519 Okay, I have a clever eye, clever, and I have 1:27:06.800 --> 1:27:07.799 a balcan. 1:27:08.479 --> 1:27:12.320 Okay, is are these newer or older? How long have 1:27:12.360 --> 1:27:14.520 they been around? 1:27:15.520 --> 1:27:18.080 I would say within the last couple of years. 1:27:18.200 --> 1:27:18.559 Okay. 1:27:18.720 --> 1:27:22.240 So I think that you need a new charger, a 1:27:22.280 --> 1:27:26.200 new charging brick. So the part that plugs into the wall, 1:27:26.360 --> 1:27:28.800 do you know what it's rated at? What's the uh 1:27:29.040 --> 1:27:31.000 what's the rating? Like the wattage on it? 1:27:32.920 --> 1:27:37.360 Let me see. I'm looking at one. I can't. I 1:27:37.360 --> 1:27:39.000 can't see it. I No, I can't. 1:27:39.280 --> 1:27:44.160 Okay. So I would get a newer charger because if 1:27:44.240 --> 1:27:46.439 you have an older charger and may be charging your 1:27:46.479 --> 1:27:50.599 phone really slow, and if it's slow, the slower it's charging, 1:27:50.800 --> 1:27:53.240 the more it's going to heat up because it's taking longer. 1:27:53.960 --> 1:27:57.120 Oh excuse me, Rick, what I what I bought was 1:27:57.160 --> 1:27:59.040 those the faster chargers. 1:27:59.280 --> 1:27:59.720 Oh you did? 1:27:59.760 --> 1:28:00.200 Okay? 1:28:00.280 --> 1:28:03.679 Okay, So the iPhone you said you had an iPhone 1:28:03.720 --> 1:28:08.200 thirteen Promax. Yeah, okay, so the iPhone thirteen Pro can 1:28:08.240 --> 1:28:11.639 typically charge up to twenty watts. So the old chargers 1:28:11.640 --> 1:28:13.960 that that Apple used to include in the box were 1:28:14.560 --> 1:28:17.519 a five watch charger and so it was a lot slower. 1:28:18.000 --> 1:28:21.000 So I would ensure that your charger can support twenty 1:28:21.040 --> 1:28:23.559 watts because you want a fast charge to make sure 1:28:23.560 --> 1:28:26.000 that you're getting you know, the maximum speed, and that 1:28:26.040 --> 1:28:28.240 you're not taking as long to charge this phone and 1:28:28.280 --> 1:28:30.439 it's not heating up as much. The other thing I 1:28:30.439 --> 1:28:34.120 would look into is what's called a Gan charger ga 1:28:34.520 --> 1:28:38.960 N and this is a new type of material that 1:28:39.000 --> 1:28:42.759 they use inside the charger that actually keeps it cooler. 1:28:43.400 --> 1:28:45.519 And so it's I don't know if it's a composite, 1:28:45.600 --> 1:28:47.439 whatever it is, it's some sort of new material that 1:28:47.479 --> 1:28:51.960 they're using that it's it's basically gonna stay cooler because 1:28:52.000 --> 1:28:55.200 it's not your standard the old material that they were 1:28:55.240 --> 1:28:58.000 using that would warm up as much. And so if 1:28:58.040 --> 1:29:00.240 you have a GAN charger, they typically suppor or a 1:29:00.320 --> 1:29:03.519 higher speed and a cooler charge. So if you're worried 1:29:03.560 --> 1:29:06.400 about that and your charger is warming up, I would 1:29:06.400 --> 1:29:09.599 definitely look into one of these chargers. So I know 1:29:09.640 --> 1:29:14.880 Belkan makes one. Anchor makes them. There's a Spegan makes them. 1:29:14.920 --> 1:29:16.960 I mean a lot of different companies make them, and 1:29:17.040 --> 1:29:20.200 so you can get these different chargers that are ga 1:29:20.520 --> 1:29:22.599 n it's called Have you seen that on your charger? 1:29:22.640 --> 1:29:22.920 Do you know? 1:29:23.600 --> 1:29:23.720 No? 1:29:24.160 --> 1:29:27.360 Okay, So I would maybe look into that because I've 1:29:27.400 --> 1:29:31.320 pretty much switched to that type of charger and it's 1:29:31.360 --> 1:29:34.240 a lot cooler, it's a lot faster, and it's kind 1:29:34.280 --> 1:29:36.240 of the new technology. It's been around for i'd say 1:29:36.280 --> 1:29:39.880 two or three years. So I would look for the 1:29:39.920 --> 1:29:41.720 one that I like. If I had to recommend. One 1:29:41.720 --> 1:29:46.360 that's pretty inexpensive is Spegan makes one called the Arcstation 1:29:46.640 --> 1:29:51.080 Pro thirty and it's uh. They're also smaller, by the 1:29:51.120 --> 1:29:53.600 way than the standard chargers we used to get. So 1:29:53.640 --> 1:29:55.759 I know you don't want to spend money on your charger. 1:29:55.800 --> 1:29:57.639 I understand that if you don't want to, I think 1:29:57.680 --> 1:30:01.439 you'll be okay. But if you're saying your phone's warming 1:30:01.520 --> 1:30:04.360 up and your charger's warming up and you're concerned, you 1:30:04.600 --> 1:30:07.160 might want to try a new charger that's with some 1:30:07.240 --> 1:30:11.640 new technology and perhaps that will make things keep a 1:30:11.680 --> 1:30:12.599 little bit cooler. There. 1:30:13.240 --> 1:30:14.000 Thank you so much. 1:30:14.040 --> 1:30:14.960 I was very helpful. 1:30:15.080 --> 1:30:17.479 All right, Joanne, appreciate it. Thanks for calling in today. 1:30:17.920 --> 1:30:19.160 You're welcome, all right. 1:30:20.200 --> 1:30:22.479 Rich On Tech triple eight rich one oh one eight 1:30:22.520 --> 1:30:24.960 eighty eight seven four to two four one zero one. 1:30:25.000 --> 1:30:28.640 Coming up, We've got code with Claws. I went to 1:30:28.800 --> 1:30:33.240 a demo day where these students who had never coded 1:30:33.280 --> 1:30:37.360 before showed off the apps that they created, and it 1:30:37.439 --> 1:30:40.519 was really cool. So I'll bring you inside that coming 1:30:40.600 --> 1:30:43.040 up right after the break. Let me just tell you 1:30:43.080 --> 1:30:46.679 about two quick things. Spotify raising prices for the first 1:30:46.720 --> 1:30:50.320 time since they launched, So don't be surprised if your 1:30:50.760 --> 1:30:54.400 Spotify price goes up next month to ten dollars and 1:30:54.520 --> 1:30:57.720 ninety nine cents a month, so the individual plan is 1:30:57.760 --> 1:31:01.080 going up by a dollar. Spotify launch in two thousand 1:31:01.080 --> 1:31:03.639 and eight, came to America in about I think twenty eleven, 1:31:04.080 --> 1:31:06.479 and they have not raised prices. It's been nine ninety 1:31:06.520 --> 1:31:10.040 nine a month since then. Premium duo fifteen bucks a month, 1:31:10.080 --> 1:31:14.800 Premium Family seventeen dollars a month, Student price six dollars 1:31:15.240 --> 1:31:18.000 student price, and the other thing to note, Chat GPT 1:31:18.320 --> 1:31:21.880 is now available for Android. The official Chat GPT app 1:31:22.240 --> 1:31:25.479 is now available for Android. Coming up next we'll talk 1:31:25.600 --> 1:31:28.719 Code with Claws triple eight Rich one O one eighty 1:31:28.800 --> 1:31:31.679 eight seven four to two, four to one zero one. 1:31:32.040 --> 1:31:36.760 You're listening to Rich on Tech, Rich on Tech, Rich 1:31:36.840 --> 1:31:40.760 Demiro here talking technology with you. Recently, I was at 1:31:40.760 --> 1:31:44.360 the Tower Theater Apple Store in downtown Los Angeles for 1:31:44.400 --> 1:31:47.120 a different kind of summer camp. It was demo day 1:31:47.200 --> 1:31:50.240 for a camp called Code with Claws, which is a 1:31:50.280 --> 1:31:54.160 free program for students ages thirteen to eighteen. It was 1:31:54.200 --> 1:31:58.320 started by supermodel and entrepreneur Carly klaus. 1:31:58.000 --> 1:31:59.519 So in twenty fifteen. 1:31:59.640 --> 1:32:04.240 Were founded by Carly klass supermodel, philanthropist and activist, and 1:32:04.280 --> 1:32:07.559 she had this idea through her own personal experience of 1:32:07.640 --> 1:32:10.080 learning how to code herself, that there should be a 1:32:10.080 --> 1:32:12.760 space like this that was offered for young people, and 1:32:12.840 --> 1:32:15.639 so she created COVID Class back in twenty fifteen, and 1:32:15.920 --> 1:32:17.920 here we are eight years later, bigger. 1:32:17.640 --> 1:32:19.840 And better, with again five thousand scholars this. 1:32:19.800 --> 1:32:23.160 Summer and many more to come in the future. 1:32:23.720 --> 1:32:26.800 Oh see. Emo Peoria is CEO of Code with. 1:32:26.800 --> 1:32:29.759 Class and the benefit is really a couple things. One 1:32:29.840 --> 1:32:32.959 is they learn that they can participate in an industry 1:32:32.960 --> 1:32:36.560 that often doesn't look like them, so doesn't have representation 1:32:36.640 --> 1:32:39.479 across race and gender. They learn that they can overcome 1:32:39.520 --> 1:32:41.400 personal challenge and learn to. 1:32:41.360 --> 1:32:45.040 Do a hard thing in just short ten days. 1:32:45.439 --> 1:32:47.640 They also learn, I think, a really great set of 1:32:48.240 --> 1:32:51.800 skills around collaboration because the final project which you're seeing 1:32:51.840 --> 1:32:53.200 here presented at Apple. 1:32:53.560 --> 1:32:54.759 Is a group project. 1:32:55.080 --> 1:32:57.000 So they work on it together in teams of four 1:32:57.120 --> 1:33:00.360 or five, and they learn collaboration and communication and how 1:33:00.400 --> 1:33:02.599 to come to consensus, and how to. 1:33:02.640 --> 1:33:04.680 Think critically and how to make trade offs. And so 1:33:04.720 --> 1:33:06.920 they're really learning a lot of what I will call like. 1:33:06.920 --> 1:33:10.240 Twenty first century leadership skills in the process of also 1:33:10.320 --> 1:33:12.280 learning how to cope. 1:33:12.320 --> 1:33:15.040 This summer, there are more than sixty camps in twenty 1:33:15.080 --> 1:33:19.839 cities teaching skills like machine learning, mobile app development, data science, 1:33:20.000 --> 1:33:21.120 and web development. 1:33:21.920 --> 1:33:24.760 To me is the great benefit long term is that 1:33:24.800 --> 1:33:28.280 they will walk away with community that will serve them 1:33:28.320 --> 1:33:32.200 throughout their careers and through their education process. 1:33:32.240 --> 1:33:35.360 And so that's what we find scholars are really attached 1:33:35.400 --> 1:33:37.599 to is not just the two weeks of learning, but 1:33:37.640 --> 1:33:39.479 the sort of lifelong community that they join. 1:33:40.040 --> 1:33:43.240 Demo day is where the students show off their hard work. 1:33:44.439 --> 1:33:48.080 Honestly, Coder's colos was a wonderful experience. I came in 1:33:48.120 --> 1:33:50.920 with a zero knowledge of Swiss UI, and by the 1:33:51.040 --> 1:33:52.960 end of it, as you just saw, I presented an 1:33:53.040 --> 1:33:55.920 entire mobile application. I think the best part of it 1:33:56.000 --> 1:33:59.240 was the atmosphere. The friends that I made, the instructors 1:33:59.240 --> 1:34:01.719 that I as were amazing, and I was really happy 1:34:01.760 --> 1:34:03.680 that they were able to make this learning experience so 1:34:03.800 --> 1:34:06.919 enjoyable for me despite it being challenging. Because it was challenging, 1:34:06.920 --> 1:34:10.400 there were moments where I kind of like felt like 1:34:10.400 --> 1:34:12.920 giving up because it was really hard, but I pushed 1:34:12.920 --> 1:34:15.760 through with the support of them and eventually made it. 1:34:15.720 --> 1:34:19.440 To hear Alixi Sosa's team created an app called unhoused 1:34:19.680 --> 1:34:22.880 to help bring awareness to a growing issue in their community. 1:34:23.200 --> 1:34:24.920 But there are a lot of programs like this that 1:34:25.000 --> 1:34:27.840 basically tell you you can be anyone and you can 1:34:27.880 --> 1:34:30.240 code like it doesn't matter your identity who you are. 1:34:30.280 --> 1:34:32.320 You can come in and you can create something wonderful 1:34:32.600 --> 1:34:35.320 with programming skills. So I would say to look for 1:34:35.360 --> 1:34:37.880 programs like these because they're there, and to not be 1:34:38.280 --> 1:34:40.760 scared of just trying trying it out, because once you 1:34:40.800 --> 1:34:43.720 get over like that learning curve of this is really hard. 1:34:43.800 --> 1:34:45.519 It's going to be like pretty good. 1:34:45.560 --> 1:34:49.559 From there, Arianna Unoki's group created an app called hands On, 1:34:49.960 --> 1:34:52.680 which aims to get people involved in volunteering. 1:34:53.320 --> 1:34:57.040 It was great, Honestly, going to the class every day 1:34:57.280 --> 1:35:00.000 was a positive experience for me, and I knew everything. 1:35:00.160 --> 1:35:01.360 Like every day that I would be. 1:35:01.320 --> 1:35:05.120 There, it would just be great, positive like energy and 1:35:05.160 --> 1:35:06.679 really uplifting and I felt really. 1:35:06.560 --> 1:35:07.680 Included every single day. 1:35:07.920 --> 1:35:11.559 Oh, I had no idea about coding. I'd not done 1:35:11.560 --> 1:35:14.559 any coding before I joined, so everything was so new 1:35:14.640 --> 1:35:17.799 to me, and it was way harder than I expected. 1:35:17.880 --> 1:35:20.360 But honestly, I learned so much and I'm really glad 1:35:20.360 --> 1:35:23.639 I did it. Honestly, I'm making sure to keep contact 1:35:23.640 --> 1:35:25.320 with everyone that I met. Everyone that I met was 1:35:25.320 --> 1:35:28.000 really amazing and too. I like that I learned about 1:35:28.040 --> 1:35:31.920 coding so that I could use it and for future experiences. 1:35:31.920 --> 1:35:35.160 Possibly I might go into computer science. So it's great 1:35:35.160 --> 1:35:37.760 that I got this, that this opportunity. 1:35:37.760 --> 1:35:39.439 What do you think people should know about coding? This 1:35:39.479 --> 1:35:41.639 seems kind of intimidating, it is. 1:35:41.760 --> 1:35:43.960 I was intimidated, you know. 1:35:44.040 --> 1:35:47.439 I think coding is very like the basics of it 1:35:47.520 --> 1:35:52.120 are very simple, and it's really just having to memorize 1:35:52.360 --> 1:35:55.599 all the different codes. Google was my best friend during this, 1:35:55.680 --> 1:35:57.880 so I googled a lot of things. But once I 1:35:57.920 --> 1:36:00.040 got the hang of it, it was really easy, and 1:36:00.400 --> 1:36:01.920 you know, it's just getting a lots of use get 1:36:01.960 --> 1:36:02.760 used to. 1:36:03.520 --> 1:36:06.240 This is the fifth year Apple has supported the organization 1:36:06.640 --> 1:36:08.840 through their Community Education initiative. 1:36:09.439 --> 1:36:12.439 Yeah, the way that we work is, you know, we 1:36:12.520 --> 1:36:16.840 work in communities all across the country, and so we 1:36:16.920 --> 1:36:23.240 partner with organizations that are nonprofits, community based organizations to 1:36:23.680 --> 1:36:26.679 really again provide them with the resources and the access 1:36:26.760 --> 1:36:30.720 that they need to bring these coding opportunities and to 1:36:30.840 --> 1:36:35.400 learn coding and creativity to their communities. And Code with 1:36:35.400 --> 1:36:38.960 Classy is a great example of an organization that we 1:36:39.040 --> 1:36:39.639 partner with. 1:36:40.080 --> 1:36:44.400 Stacey rb is Director of Community Education Initiatives for Apple, 1:36:45.120 --> 1:36:46.200 and you know, for. 1:36:46.240 --> 1:36:49.719 Code with Classy and Apple, we have a shared goal 1:36:50.280 --> 1:36:56.160 of expanding access and ensuring that aspiring developers and entrepreneurs 1:36:56.520 --> 1:37:00.200 can make their dreams become a reality. We've also have 1:37:00.240 --> 1:37:05.800 seen that an organization like Code with class really can 1:37:05.960 --> 1:37:10.479 create amazing community. They have done an incredible job of 1:37:10.520 --> 1:37:14.800 scaling to reach more than ten thousand learners, creating an 1:37:14.880 --> 1:37:18.640 inspiring learning opportunity and learning community along the way, and 1:37:18.800 --> 1:37:21.759 I have to say it has been such a privilege 1:37:21.840 --> 1:37:26.080 for me to see firsthand, even as recently this week 1:37:26.120 --> 1:37:29.400 here in Austin, to meet some of the scholars, and 1:37:29.479 --> 1:37:33.320 I'm just blown away by the talent and the passion 1:37:33.520 --> 1:37:36.840 and the commitment to be this force for good within 1:37:36.880 --> 1:37:41.080 their community. You know, we see that coding is just 1:37:41.160 --> 1:37:46.400 this universal language, and by learning how to code, understanding 1:37:46.439 --> 1:37:51.200 what AI and mL, machine learning and artificial intelligence, learning 1:37:51.280 --> 1:37:55.519 about those tools really helps these young young women and 1:37:55.600 --> 1:37:59.960 young scholars have the tools that they need in order 1:38:00.160 --> 1:38:04.120 to build a new world and solve real community challenges, 1:38:04.520 --> 1:38:07.920 community challenges that they care about, not necessarily that we're 1:38:07.960 --> 1:38:10.320 telling them or a challenge, but they're identifying what these 1:38:10.400 --> 1:38:14.920 challenges are. And programs like this really build confidence in 1:38:14.960 --> 1:38:18.400 these young coders and give them the skills to empower 1:38:18.479 --> 1:38:21.439 them to change the world for the better. And that 1:38:21.520 --> 1:38:24.200 world can be the global world or right there in 1:38:24.240 --> 1:38:28.080 their local community. There's so much that a young scholar 1:38:28.240 --> 1:38:32.200 at these coding camps can learn in addition to coding, 1:38:32.439 --> 1:38:36.200 that they can use. These are transferable skills to almost 1:38:36.240 --> 1:38:40.800 any of the workforce opportunities out there today, collaboration, creativity, 1:38:41.160 --> 1:38:45.599 problem solving, communication. All of these are skills that they're 1:38:45.600 --> 1:38:48.680 developing as they're going through this camp and learning how 1:38:48.720 --> 1:38:49.280 to code. 1:38:49.920 --> 1:38:52.559 Learning to code is just one aspect of this camp. 1:38:52.800 --> 1:38:56.479 Building a worldwide community of the next generation of leaders 1:38:56.720 --> 1:38:57.760 is the real takeaway. 1:38:58.520 --> 1:39:01.040 Well, we definitely want to the world better than we 1:39:01.160 --> 1:39:03.280 found it here at Apple, and I think all of 1:39:03.320 --> 1:39:08.000 this lends itself to that. I really do think that 1:39:08.240 --> 1:39:11.599 the young scholars, for example, that are attending these coding 1:39:11.720 --> 1:39:14.880 classes and these coding camps, they are going to walk 1:39:14.960 --> 1:39:18.400 out of here with a renewed sense of confidence, having 1:39:18.479 --> 1:39:22.600 learned a lot of additional skills, and be part of 1:39:22.640 --> 1:39:26.519 a community that they can leverage for many years to come. 1:39:27.680 --> 1:39:30.439 Such a great program and such a cool location. If 1:39:30.520 --> 1:39:33.160 you haven't been to the Apple Store Tower Theater in 1:39:33.200 --> 1:39:36.639 downtown Los Angeles, I highly recommend you give it a visit. 1:39:37.000 --> 1:39:40.080 I've covered code with Colossi several times, and although it's 1:39:40.080 --> 1:39:42.160 too late to get into the last camps being held 1:39:42.160 --> 1:39:46.000 this summer, there's always next year. There's no coding experience required, 1:39:46.080 --> 1:39:48.439 and yes it's free. I'll put a link on my 1:39:48.479 --> 1:39:52.200 website to learn more at Richontech dot tv. There you 1:39:52.280 --> 1:39:55.400 can also donate to support the camp. More rich on 1:39:55.439 --> 1:39:57.680 Tech coming your way. Give me a call if you 1:39:57.720 --> 1:40:01.200 have a question about technology at triple eight rich one 1:40:01.240 --> 1:40:04.200 oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two 1:40:04.760 --> 1:40:13.320 or one zero one. Welcome back to rich on Tech, 1:40:14.760 --> 1:40:19.200 rich DeMuro talking technology with you. You can find me 1:40:19.240 --> 1:40:24.160 on social media at rich on Tech. So, if you 1:40:24.160 --> 1:40:26.360 have an Android and you've been jealous of the whole 1:40:26.360 --> 1:40:30.759 air tag situation, things are getting better. This week, Google 1:40:30.880 --> 1:40:34.800 is rolling out it's new safety feature which will tell 1:40:34.880 --> 1:40:39.400 you if unknown trackers are around you, and that includes 1:40:39.439 --> 1:40:42.000 an AirTag. So this used to be a feature that 1:40:42.080 --> 1:40:44.840 was sorely lacking on the Android side of things. But 1:40:44.920 --> 1:40:50.240 the big companies Android, Google and Apple and Samsung, they're 1:40:50.240 --> 1:40:53.599 all working together for a set of standards that all 1:40:53.640 --> 1:40:56.960 the phones will tell tell you, tell the owners when 1:40:57.000 --> 1:40:59.519 one of these bluetooth tracking devices is around. And the 1:40:59.560 --> 1:41:02.960 Bluetooth tracking devices from a variety of companies. So the 1:41:03.000 --> 1:41:04.920 good news is now the Android will tell you that. 1:41:06.080 --> 1:41:09.680 You can also check manually if you go into I 1:41:09.720 --> 1:41:11.639 look for this. It's not available on every phone because 1:41:11.640 --> 1:41:14.760 it's rolling out, but you can scan your surroundings. If 1:41:14.760 --> 1:41:17.320 you're worried that you might have a tracker nearby, you 1:41:17.320 --> 1:41:21.439 can go to Android Settings, then Safety and Emergency, and 1:41:21.479 --> 1:41:24.160 then there will be an option for unknown tracker alerts 1:41:24.240 --> 1:41:27.240 and you can tap scan now. Now, keep in mind 1:41:27.280 --> 1:41:30.960 your phone may not have that feature just yet, because 1:41:31.880 --> 1:41:33.800 this is brand new and it's rolling out, and it's 1:41:33.840 --> 1:41:36.000 probably going to roll out through a software update through 1:41:36.040 --> 1:41:40.080 the Google Play Services, which you can manually update, but 1:41:40.240 --> 1:41:42.240 it's kind of tricky and complicated, so I'm not going 1:41:42.280 --> 1:41:43.519 to tell you how to do it right here, but 1:41:44.360 --> 1:41:46.599 if you Google online, there is a way to update 1:41:46.600 --> 1:41:50.160 your Google Play services. But otherwise I would update your apps, 1:41:50.240 --> 1:41:52.920 make sure the software is updated on your phone. Now, 1:41:52.960 --> 1:41:55.960 if you're wondering when Google or when Android is going 1:41:56.000 --> 1:41:59.559 to have a proper bluetooth tracker, that's coming later this year. 1:42:00.200 --> 1:42:03.080 So there's going to be Bluetooth trackers from a variety 1:42:03.160 --> 1:42:07.000 of companies that use Google's new find My network, just 1:42:07.200 --> 1:42:11.679 like Apple's, and again this will be much much better. 1:42:11.680 --> 1:42:13.080 You're not gonna be able to use an air tag 1:42:13.120 --> 1:42:16.080 with Android, They're not going that far, but these companies 1:42:16.120 --> 1:42:20.720 will have Google Android versions of these tracking devices. So 1:42:20.920 --> 1:42:24.400 Chipolo is one company that I believe is coming out 1:42:24.400 --> 1:42:29.920 with them very soon, Chipolo Chiplo. They make a lot 1:42:29.960 --> 1:42:32.439 of great trackers. But yeah, so by the end of 1:42:32.479 --> 1:42:35.599 the year, all this whole tracking situation will be will 1:42:35.600 --> 1:42:39.280 be pretty good. All right, let's get to the feedback segment. 1:42:40.320 --> 1:42:42.600 We have a voicemail. So if you go to my 1:42:42.640 --> 1:42:45.920 website rich on tech dot TV, in the lower right 1:42:45.920 --> 1:42:49.240 hand corner, you'll notice there's a little there's a little microphone. 1:42:49.280 --> 1:42:52.360 You can hit that microphone and leave me a voicemail. 1:42:52.880 --> 1:42:55.120 And that is exactly what Kathleen did. 1:42:56.040 --> 1:42:59.760 Hey, rich I just wanted to say thank you from 1:42:59.760 --> 1:43:04.760 the bottom of my heart. I am tech illiterate and 1:43:05.720 --> 1:43:09.000 getting that reading app was so simple. 1:43:10.240 --> 1:43:11.960 And it's going to come in handy. 1:43:12.439 --> 1:43:15.879 Thank you for everything you do making life easier. 1:43:17.400 --> 1:43:20.040 Well, thank you, Kathleen, and thanks for leaving the message. Again, 1:43:20.040 --> 1:43:22.000 if you want to leave a voicemail, you could do 1:43:22.040 --> 1:43:24.360 it on the website rich on tech dot TV. Just 1:43:24.439 --> 1:43:27.240 hit a little microphone icon the lower right hand corner. 1:43:27.600 --> 1:43:30.160 What Kathleen is referring to is a segment I did 1:43:30.280 --> 1:43:34.479 on TV about reading apps. So these are apps that 1:43:34.920 --> 1:43:38.840 can read your articles out loud. So I talked about 1:43:38.880 --> 1:43:42.200 ways to kind of cut through your reading list. You know, 1:43:42.240 --> 1:43:44.839 you've got that list of items you want to read online, 1:43:44.840 --> 1:43:46.760 but it's kind of annoying to get through them all. 1:43:47.160 --> 1:43:49.080 So I talked about a bunch of different ways you 1:43:49.080 --> 1:43:51.400 can do that. I'll put the link on the show notes. 1:43:51.760 --> 1:43:54.200 But I mentioned pocket app, I mentioned the reader mode 1:43:54.240 --> 1:43:57.400 on Safari, and the one that she's specifically referring to, 1:43:57.479 --> 1:44:00.600 I believe is the Android Reading Mode app, which I 1:44:00.640 --> 1:44:04.479 mentioned on this show previously, and it basically takes any 1:44:05.040 --> 1:44:07.719 article on the Android and makes it really easy to read, 1:44:07.760 --> 1:44:11.719 with better fonts, better readability, bigger and it's just really 1:44:11.760 --> 1:44:14.599 really nice. So thanks for that, Kathleen, thanks for leaving 1:44:14.640 --> 1:44:17.759 the message, and I'll put a link to that story 1:44:17.760 --> 1:44:21.719 on the website as well. All right, let's see Marla said, 1:44:21.840 --> 1:44:25.120 I'm really I need advice on what to do with Evernoe. 1:44:25.200 --> 1:44:27.600 I have over six thousand notes and a few thousands 1:44:27.600 --> 1:44:30.439 are recipes that I can access from any device. I've 1:44:30.520 --> 1:44:33.040 used Evernote since it began. I heard your show about 1:44:33.040 --> 1:44:35.000 other note programs I would like to switch, but I 1:44:35.040 --> 1:44:38.479 really need your advice, Marla. I will tell you that 1:44:38.680 --> 1:44:42.680 I have not found a replacement for Evernote that is 1:44:42.960 --> 1:44:46.960 exactly like Evernote. But I will tell you that I 1:44:47.080 --> 1:44:49.400 do know a place that you can keep your recipes 1:44:49.479 --> 1:44:52.679 that would be pretty good. It is an app called 1:44:52.840 --> 1:44:57.240 recipe Keeper. And what's cool about this app is that 1:44:57.280 --> 1:45:00.040 it sinks your recipes across all your different devices. But 1:45:00.120 --> 1:45:03.839 the coolest part is that it parses out the recipe. 1:45:03.840 --> 1:45:06.120 So I don't know if you've ever visited a website 1:45:06.160 --> 1:45:09.200 with a recipe on it. The blogger it sounds like 1:45:09.200 --> 1:45:10.559 me at the beginning of the show. They tell you 1:45:10.560 --> 1:45:13.599 all about their life before they get to the recipe. Oh, 1:45:13.640 --> 1:45:16.320 I love the fluffiness of eggs in this pasta. I'm like, 1:45:16.360 --> 1:45:18.559 just give me the recipe. And you know, they don't 1:45:18.560 --> 1:45:20.479 get to the recipe till the final end of the 1:45:21.280 --> 1:45:23.719 page because they want you to scroll down and listen 1:45:24.080 --> 1:45:25.559 and you know, look at the ads and all that 1:45:25.600 --> 1:45:29.400 stuff and then follow them on Instagram whatever. So this 1:45:29.560 --> 1:45:32.879 app called recipe Keeper, which is available for iOS and Android, 1:45:33.120 --> 1:45:36.120 will will actually go through and just find the actual 1:45:36.200 --> 1:45:39.559 recipe and put it into this app and bookmarket for you. 1:45:40.000 --> 1:45:42.680 And it's really really cool. And then it puts into categories. 1:45:43.200 --> 1:45:47.200 It is pretty incredible. I have two recipes saved in here, 1:45:48.160 --> 1:45:51.760 and I should probably save some more. But anyway, I 1:45:51.840 --> 1:45:53.880 think that if you're liking ever Note and it's working 1:45:53.920 --> 1:45:56.840 for you, Marla, just continue to use it. Because I've 1:45:56.880 --> 1:45:59.800 tried every program in the world and they all have 1:46:00.000 --> 1:46:04.000 pros and cons. Ever No is still the best overall 1:46:04.360 --> 1:46:06.439 combination of features. The only thing I really have a 1:46:06.479 --> 1:46:08.479 problem with is that it's very expensive one hundred and 1:46:08.520 --> 1:46:12.280 thirty bucks a year, and it's very proprietary. A lot 1:46:12.320 --> 1:46:15.240 of these new apps like Obsidian and Notion and all 1:46:15.280 --> 1:46:18.479 these other apps are in what's the other one I 1:46:18.520 --> 1:46:21.640 was using Joplin. They all keep your notes in a 1:46:21.680 --> 1:46:25.320 format that is much more exportable, and ever No not 1:46:25.479 --> 1:46:28.960 so much. Let's see Mike says iPhone pop up. I 1:46:29.000 --> 1:46:30.920 hope you had a great weekend. I have an iPhone question. 1:46:31.040 --> 1:46:32.800 I have an iPhone, my wife has an iPhone. When 1:46:32.840 --> 1:46:35.280 I play a podcast or music on my iPhone, I 1:46:35.320 --> 1:46:38.599 get the little box on my lock screen. However, the 1:46:38.640 --> 1:46:41.519 box also takes over the lock screen on my wife's phone. 1:46:41.520 --> 1:46:43.200 We're on the same Wi Fi network, but she has 1:46:43.240 --> 1:46:45.960 a different Apple ID. Is this some sort of setting 1:46:46.479 --> 1:46:48.880 and can I shut it off. It only happens when 1:46:49.000 --> 1:46:51.240 we're in the same room. If my wife goes upstairs, 1:46:51.240 --> 1:46:54.920 she gets her lock screen back to normal. Mike, I'm 1:46:54.920 --> 1:46:57.599 not really sure if this is an Apple thing. I 1:46:57.640 --> 1:46:59.720 think it might be a Spotify thing. If you're both 1:46:59.760 --> 1:47:03.720 shit aring a Spotify account, or if you're both using Spotify, 1:47:04.360 --> 1:47:07.480 it allows you to control that Spotify from different devices. 1:47:07.680 --> 1:47:10.680 That could be what's happening. But I don't know if 1:47:10.680 --> 1:47:13.400 that happens with Apple Music, so I need a little 1:47:13.439 --> 1:47:16.800 bit more information about what that is, what that's doing. 1:47:16.840 --> 1:47:18.599 But the fact that you said you're on the same 1:47:18.640 --> 1:47:22.240 Wi Fi network is a big clue because that definitely 1:47:22.400 --> 1:47:27.360 does some apps do take advantage of that and share 1:47:27.400 --> 1:47:31.680 the information among the devices on that network, So I 1:47:31.680 --> 1:47:34.400 probably need a little bit more information about that. The 1:47:34.400 --> 1:47:36.360 different Apple idea is smart because I know a lot 1:47:36.439 --> 1:47:39.479 of people share Apple ideas, especially with their kids' phones, 1:47:39.960 --> 1:47:41.920 and next thing you know, you're getting the same text 1:47:41.920 --> 1:47:44.479 messages on all the different devices, which I don't like. 1:47:46.000 --> 1:47:48.760 Let's see Steven says, Hey, Rich, I love the show, 1:47:48.760 --> 1:47:50.760 and I can surprisingly say I like it as much 1:47:50.800 --> 1:47:53.640 as Leo's. You're doing a terrific job. Oh thank you. 1:47:54.200 --> 1:47:56.519 As far as note taking, I agree that Apple Notes 1:47:56.640 --> 1:47:59.960 is perfect, almost perfect. However, I want to recommend crap. 1:48:00.560 --> 1:48:03.400 It's more like an Apple like version of Notion. It's 1:48:03.520 --> 1:48:06.120 very feature rich. It looks great. I've been using Apple 1:48:06.160 --> 1:48:10.599 Notes and it has sketches which I don't understand. Yes, 1:48:11.240 --> 1:48:13.639 I think that's good too. Let's see. Oh my gosh, 1:48:13.640 --> 1:48:17.120 so many let's see. Okay, let's just get to the 1:48:17.120 --> 1:48:19.959 Twitter feedback because I know you're all waiting for it. Angela. 1:48:20.320 --> 1:48:24.160 You know I went off about Twitter earlier. X Angela says, hey, Rich, 1:48:24.439 --> 1:48:26.960 listening to you today, and I agree, what's the big deal. 1:48:26.960 --> 1:48:29.759 I've got an iPhone and it's weird for sure. About 1:48:29.760 --> 1:48:34.160 the icon on the screen, Angela. Chris says, thank you 1:48:34.200 --> 1:48:37.080 for the little rant on the Twitter name change. Exactly, 1:48:37.240 --> 1:48:39.599 no big deal. People need to get over it. Love 1:48:39.640 --> 1:48:43.840 what you do. Pete says, your spastic Twitter rant this 1:48:43.880 --> 1:48:47.599 morning reminds me why I miss Leo so much. KFI 1:48:47.680 --> 1:48:51.080 weekends were much more enjoyable with him. Well, looks like 1:48:51.120 --> 1:48:54.519 we lost the listener today. Sorry Pete, but you know 1:48:54.840 --> 1:48:57.679 I mean I got a call spade A spade. Tina says, 1:48:57.760 --> 1:48:59.720 I listened to you every weekend, and you always have 1:48:59.760 --> 1:49:03.000 a demeanor. Today you are very aggressive. Maybe a nap 1:49:03.040 --> 1:49:06.720 would help. FYI, I really like how your show. I 1:49:06.800 --> 1:49:09.360 really like how your show is packed with info compared 1:49:09.400 --> 1:49:14.080 to the the guy you replaced, And James says, some 1:49:14.120 --> 1:49:16.400 of us listen to the show to hear the callers 1:49:17.000 --> 1:49:19.559 in big caps with everyday questions that we may have 1:49:19.600 --> 1:49:21.559 had in the past, or are currently having, or have 1:49:21.600 --> 1:49:23.960 had in the future. But you spend the first twenty 1:49:24.000 --> 1:49:27.519 minutes giving travel info on South Korea and two more 1:49:27.680 --> 1:49:31.679 very long promotional interviews on Samsung. I guess we listeners 1:49:31.680 --> 1:49:35.439 have different expectations of the program. Well, James, it is 1:49:35.479 --> 1:49:38.240 a different program. It is my program. It's called rich 1:49:38.280 --> 1:49:41.040 on Tech, and it is the information that I think 1:49:41.120 --> 1:49:44.000 you should know. So I hope you continue to listen. 1:49:44.320 --> 1:49:46.879 I will continue to do the interviews I think are pertinent, 1:49:47.080 --> 1:49:49.200 the news I think is pertinent, and the callers I 1:49:49.200 --> 1:49:52.680 think are pertinent, including your feedback. Not everyone gives the 1:49:52.680 --> 1:49:55.960 negative feedback too. My name is rich Dedmiel. Thanks so 1:49:56.040 --> 1:49:57.920 much for listening. That's gonna do it. Check out the 1:49:57.920 --> 1:50:01.679 show notes rich on Tech dot tv next week. Kimber 1:50:01.720 --> 1:50:04.880 streams of Wirecutter.
