Speaker 1: road test editor at Clean Fleet Report, will discuss the

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: car that I've been driving around for the past week,

36
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: the Ford mock E Mustang EV and boys at a

37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: fun Car. I've been having a lot of fun in

38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: that car. I love how it makes, uh, the sound

39
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: of a gas car, just that rumble, but it's not.

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: It's electric. You would never know the difference. All right,

41
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: So this week lots and lots of iPhone Apple news.

42
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: My photographer at KTLA yesterday was saying, Rich, can you

43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: believe we did a full week of iPhone stories like

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: how wild is that? And I said, I know, and

45
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: not one person complaint. I mean, it's just like you

46
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: take for granted when the iPhone comes out, there's gonna

47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: be a lot of coverage. Apple sort of commands the uh.

48
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: They just take all the uh. I don't know, why

49
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: do you say that. It all just the all eyes

50
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: are on them. That's what it is. And so I

51
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: get it. It's a it's a very popular phone. It's

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: a very big deal for the new iPhone to come out.

53
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Some people have been waiting a year for the new phone.

54
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: Some people have been waiting three years. Some people are

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: upgrading from the eight No matter what, it's an individual

56
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: thing that if you want the new device and you

57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: get it, it's very exciting. And it is in general,

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: even though the iPhone hasn't substantially changed. I mean, it's

59
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: evolved over time, but I mean when I set it up,

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: I was setting up the new device and I was like, wow,

61
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: this is like it's the same iPhone. Like I didn't

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: just copy everything over this time. I set it up

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: from scratch just to see what the process is like

64
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. And it's just interesting. It's

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: like a lot has changed but a lot has not

66
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: changed over the year, So we'll talk more about the

67
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: iPhone in iOS seventeen and all that stuff. But Amazon

68
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: this week lots and lots of news. They did an

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: event at their new headquarters in Virginia and they gave

70
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: a look at the future of I'm gonna call it

71
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: alex A. I don't want to I don't want to

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: trigger your speaker, so let's just call it alex A.

73
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: And they gave a look at the future of alex A, which,

74
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: of course, as you might expect, is going to include

75
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: a healthy dose of generative AI. So if you want

76
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: to try this in your home and you have an

77
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: Echo speaker, it may not work just yet, but this

78
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: is happening very soon. So if you're like me, if

79
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: you're a nerd, you're going to be asking this every

80
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: single day until you get this new feature. But you say,

81
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: alex A, let's chat, and magically you will now get

82
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: to try out this new AI alex A. And so

83
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: what does that mean. It means that it's going to

84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: be more conversational. It's going to mean that you can

85
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: combine multiple requests into one, so you can say, hey,

86
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: close all the blinds, turn off all the lights and

87
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: start the vacuum. And before it wouldn't understand that. Now

88
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: it will. You can say I'm cold, and it will

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: turn up the temperature. And you could create and make

90
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: these routines all by voice. And routines are really fun.

91
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: I actually created a couple of them this morning for

92
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: some of our Halloween lights. I've got this little home

93
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: Depot sent me. You know how during the holiday season,

94
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: like Christmas time, they have those little like houses, like

95
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: people make those little like it's like a little town,

96
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: like a main street, USA, kind of like houses and stuff,

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: and they have the little lights inside. They're almost like

98
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: a ceramic house. Well, I guess Home Depot did that

99
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: for Halloween, and so it's like a home depot that's

100
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: all spooky and halloweeny and it's really cute. But you know,

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: it has like a little light bulb inside. And I said,

102
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: you know what, let me put a smart plug on

103
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: this thing, and let's make a routine to have it

104
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: turn on at night and turn off by the morning.

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: And so I did that this morning. I guess you'll

106
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: be able to do that very easily by your voice

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: very soon. All right, So some of the other things

108
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: that they announced is this new I Gaze feature. So

109
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: this is for customers with mobility or speech disabilities. Now

110
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: you'll be able to use alex A with your eyes

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: instead of your voice or touch. So this is going

112
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: to premiere on the fire Max eleven tablet, and I

113
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: guess they'll use the camera in the tablet and you'll

114
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: be able to control things just by looking at the tablet.

115
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: So you'll be able to play music and shows, control

116
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: your smart home, and even communicate with loved ones hands free.

117
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Now it's going to be not every action you could

118
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: typically perform with the Voice assistant, but a subset of those.

119
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: And so if this works on the Firemax eleven tablet,

120
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: which is probably the most powerful tablet, it could be

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: a pretty neat new feature, So that's exciting. There's also

122
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: another feature called call Translation. This when you're using audio

123
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: and video calls, they can be captioned in real time,

124
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,559
Speaker 1: but in different languages. So if you're chatting with someone

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: over in France and you want to they speak French

126
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: and you speak English, they can just talk in French

127
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: and you'll see the English translation on the bottom. That's

128
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I think one of the most important new

129
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: features they are introducing is called ALEX, a emergency assist,

130
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: so you can just say ALEX a call for help,

131
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: And if you have an echo speaker in your house,

132
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: if it's a supported speaker, you can get directly connected

133
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: to an emergency response center. Now this is not going

134
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: to call nine will one directly, but it's going to

135
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: call sort of a call center with a dispatch that

136
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: can then relay your information to the right people. So

137
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: whether that's fire, whether that's emergency ambulance, nine one one, police,

138
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So that's going to cost five ninety

139
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: nine a month or sixty dollars a year. So it's

140
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of interesting because I feel like this is one

141
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: of those features that if you have a loved one

142
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: that lives alone, why would you not get them this?

143
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: And it's kind of weird that they didn't go all

144
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: the way and just make the speakers dial nine one

145
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: one directly because that would be free. But I understand

146
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: there are some limitations. And also this is supposedly better

147
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: because the dispatch officer will be able to get your

148
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: call to the right place, and also they will have

149
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: information about you, so if you have an allergy or

150
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: a medical history that they that will pop up on

151
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: their screen. Plus all of your information will pop up,

152
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: like your address and you know whatever if you have

153
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: a pet at home. So I guess it's a better

154
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: way than just dialing nine one one directly. Some of

155
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: the devices they introduced, the Echo Show eight. This is

156
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: just a new smart display. Then they've got this new

157
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: one called the Echo Hub. This is sort of an

158
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: iPad that you mount on your wall, so it's thin.

159
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: It's got an eight inch screen, it's touchscreen, and it's

160
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: kind of like a dashboard for your house, so you

161
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: can manage your smart home devices. You can arm your alarm,

162
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: start a routine, check out your security cameras, and when

163
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: it's not in use, it can show your personal photo collection,

164
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. Let's see, And that's something

165
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: that used to cost a lot of money back in

166
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: the day to get sort of the smart home automation

167
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: controller installed in your home. They've got a new version

168
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: of Echo frames. These are their smart glasses which I've tested,

169
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: not the new ones. I tested the last version. I

170
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: fell in love with them. I thought they were great.

171
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: The only thing is they let's see, did I really

172
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: have any problem with them? Not really, I thought they

173
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: were excellent. So these are slimmer, they've got better battery life,

174
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: better speakers, and you can hear them better. But I

175
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: thought these were really cool when I tested them. So

176
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: echo frames haven't really caught on in a big way,

177
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: but I do think that this idea of smart glasses,

178
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, Facebook is doing it, and they're doing it

179
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: so some of the other things I thought were pretty cool.

180
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: Fire TV is getting AI powered search, so now you

181
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: can ask for movies and TV show recommendations, kind of

182
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: like the way you might have used to ask a

183
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: Blockbuster clerk. So you can say, hey, what about some

184
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: movies you know by this actor or this director, or

185
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, I want to watch something for just a

186
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: rainy day, you know, animated movies, whatever. And another cool

187
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: feature is you can take all thanks to AI. Of course,

188
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: you can take one of your photos and say, hey,

189
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: can you change this into sort of a cyberpunk situation

190
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: or can you make this into a watercolor photo? And

191
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: the fire TV will use AI to change your picture

192
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: into you know, cool looking photo that you can have

193
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: on your screen. And that's the other thing that they're

194
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: doing that's really cool. And this is something that I

195
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: can't wait to get a new Fire TV to take

196
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: advantage of. Is the fireTV stick. The top of the

197
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: line stick will now give you this ambient experience, which

198
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: means even when you're not using your TV, it can

199
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: show information on your TV screen, it can show your photos,

200
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: it can show the weather. And that's a feature that

201
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: Samsung kind of pioneered with their Frame TV and then

202
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: Amazon offered it on some of their top of the

203
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: line omni TVs. But now it's coming to any TV

204
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: as long as you can plug in the fireTV stick.

205
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Let's see what are they calling it. It is the

206
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: It's a Fire TV stick four K Max second generation.

207
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: Say that twenty times fast. But that's like a fifty

208
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: dollars maybe a sixty dollars plugin for your TV. And

209
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: now you can have your artwork and all kinds of stuff.

210
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: I am definitely going to do that. I cannot wait.

211
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: I've wanted that feature on my TV for so long

212
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to be a great one.

213
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: They also introduced if you have bad WiFi home, the

214
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Eero Max seven. This is like, oh my gosh, the

215
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: best Wi Fi mesh system you've ever seen. Is supports

216
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Wi Fi seven ten gigabit Ethernet can download a four

217
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: K movie in ten seconds or a fifty gigabyte video

218
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: game in less than a minute. This will be available

219
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: in a one to two or three pack starting at

220
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars. So if you really want some maximum

221
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Wi Fi for your house, that's going to be at

222
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: the Eero Max seven. All right, So that's what Amazon announced.

223
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Lots and lots of stuff from Amazon, so be on

224
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: the lookout for some of those new products. I'm sure

225
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: they'll be on the Amazon Home screen very very soon.

226
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: All right.

227
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,600

238
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

239
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: Bye. Rich. I'm having trouble. I have a new Samsung

240
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: Galaxy and I started with Verizon. But the service with

241
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: Verizon is terrible. I thought, after all these years that

242
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: it should be better, but it's not. So I thought, Okay,

243
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: I'll switch over to their alternate service, which is Visible.

244
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: I have been talking to this chat butt and it

245
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: sent me right back to the same problem in the

246
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: first place. I don't think I think that Visible is

247
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 3: that they're just not doing a good job.

248
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: Well, they're not new, they've been around for a couple

249
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: of years, and it's fully owned by Verizon. So number one,

250
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: I would not recommend going with Visible because if you

251
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: had bad service through Verizon, you're gonna get the same

252
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: exact level of service, if not worse, from Visible because

253
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: it's the same exact network with the added fact of

254
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: Visible has no stores. They have no customer service in

255
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: a meaningful way, and for someone like yourself that's having trouble,

256
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: you may be in this trouble area forever and not

257
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: really get any meaningful help. They are all through chat,

258
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: they are all through online, they are all through the app,

259
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: so you can't really get help if you need it. Now,

260
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Visible is bad. I'm saying, in

261
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: your circumstances, Gloria, it sounds like this is not a

262
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: good fit for you. The network is not the network

263
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: that you want, because, like you said, Verizon's not working

264
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: for you. This is the same exact network that Verizon

265
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: on and you don't have a store to go into.

266
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: You can't go into a Verizon store and get help.

267
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: With Visible. You can't even really get someone on the

268
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: phone as far as I know. With Visible, it's all

269
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: done through chat and email. So, oh my god, this

270
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: is this is really a service that's aimed towards millennial

271
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: users that are very very hip and they want to

272
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: do everything sort of like without human interaction, and so

273
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with it. It's you know, and you

274
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: save a ton of money. I mean, this is twenty

275
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: five dollars a month or thirty five dollars a month,

276
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: so it's it's really a money saving move. But okay,

277
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: it's forty five, got it. So here's what I'd recommend

278
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: for you, Gloria. Have you heard of Mint Mobile?

279
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: You know what?

280
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: I had Mint and then T Mobile took over and

281
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: I've had nothing but trouble with T Mobile. Well, took

282
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: over my phone and so on, I'm I switched, and

283
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm in a world of trouble because right

284
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: here in the foothills, sure, and I have difficulty getting

285
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: good receptions.

286
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, so here's what I would recommend. If you

287
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: have difficulty getting good reception. Number one, you know, I

288
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: would talk to some neighbors and see what service works

289
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: for them. That's that's what I would do. Because if

290
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: you're in an area where it's tricky, like there are

291
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: portions of the US where only one network is very strong.

292
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes that may be AT and T. And here in

293
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: the US we only have three networks to speak of.

294
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: We have AT and T, we have Tea Mobile, and

295
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: we have Verizon. Everything else you hear about is one

296
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: of those networks what they call MVNOs mobile virtual network operators.

297
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: So they just lease the network space from a Verizon,

298
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: from an AT and T, from a Team Mobile, and

299
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: then they resell it and they repackage it with their

300
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: own marketing and their own plans. So what I would

301
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: do is talk to some of your friends in the area.

302
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: Just knock on your neighbor's doors and say, hey, what

303
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: service do you use and does it work in the

304
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: same Maybe it's AT and T. It sounds like it's

305
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: not Verizon. It sounds like it's not T Mobile. Now

306
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: if T Mobile was just issues with sort of like

307
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: customer service and things like that, I think that Mint

308
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: Mobile is a really strong deal for you can get

309
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: unlimited through them for thirty dollars a month, which which

310
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: I really really enjoy. So that's what I would do.

311
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: I would check to see who has the best service

312
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: in your area and go with that. And it sounds

313
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: like if you're having a lot of trouble and you

314
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: need a little bit more help with your service, you

315
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: may want a full service carrier, and that is directly

316
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: dealing with a place that has stores and that would

317
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: be Metro BYPC Metro PCs, that would be Cricket, that

318
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: would be Verizon, that would be AT and T. You

319
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: could even go into Walmart and get one of their plans.

320
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: They have a lot of prepaid plans you can get.

321
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: But it sounds like that may be the route you

322
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: want to go is figure out what works best in

323
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: your area and go with that carrier. And you may

324
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: want to go with one that it could be a

325
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: little bit more expensive, but if you can walk into

326
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: a store and get the help that you need with

327
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: your phone, that may be the best scenario for you, Gloria.

328
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: So I hope you figure it out. Gloria, thanks for

329
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: the call today. Triple eight rich one O one eight

330

Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

331
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

332
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to talk to Jefferson Graham.

333
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: He runs a website called photo Walks TV. He's always

334
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: testing the latest smartphone cameras and he got his hands

335
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: on the iPhone fifteen Promax. We're going to talk to

336
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: Jefferson Graham to see how the pictures look on this

337
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: new iPhone. You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome

338
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking technology

339
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: and uh, do you have the new iPhone fifteen? Many

340
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: people got it on launch day and putting it through

341
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: its paces, checking out all the new features. So even

342
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: if you don't have a new iPhone, there's iOS seventeen

343
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: and there's a t there's new software for the Apple TVs.

344
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: Let's see, there's new software for the watches. So I

345
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: mean there's a whole bunch of new stuff. If you

346
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: have the iPhone fifteen. So I actually interviewed someone from

347
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: Apple about this, one of the product managers, and he

348
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: was saying and I was very surprised that he said this.

349
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: So a couple takeaways. Number One, you can use any

350
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: USBC cable to charge the phone. The one that comes

351
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: in the box is going to be the standard USBC.

352
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: If you have an iPhone fifteen Pro and you want

353
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: to get faster data transfer speeds, you can get a

354
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: USBC three cable and that will give you really fast

355
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: data transfer that's only on the Promax. And then when

356
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: you want to charge the phone, would you want if

357
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: you want to use a third party charger, you want

358
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: to get the USB c PD that's power delivery. So

359
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: a lot of people are thinking that the iPhone fifteen's

360
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: are going to charge faster because you're USBC. That is

361
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: not the case. It does not look like Apple has

362
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: improved the charging speeds on these phones now that could

363
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: you know. That's one of those things that Apple doesn't

364
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: really give us all the specs. In fact, one of

365
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: the things that the product manager said, he goes, look,

366
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: we don't really want you to care about any of

367
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: the specs on these phones. We just want you to

368
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: have that magical experience of the phone just working. Let's

369
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: bring up Jefferson Graham here. Jefferson is uh with Photo

370
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Walks TV. Longtime at the USA today. Jefferson, welcome to

371
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: the show.

372
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.

373
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 4: Rich.

374
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: So you got your hands on the iPhone fifteen Promax?

375
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: Which one? Did you? Which one? We're using the Promax right?

376
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: Which color?

377
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: Which?

378
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 6: I'm a photographer, There's no way I would use the

379
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 6: other one got I actually did the other one a

380
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 6: little bit, but it's the prom accident I'm most interested in.

381
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 6: I don't think in previous years they were as heavy handed.

382
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 6: Is basically saying this is the one, all the best

383
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 6: features on the pomp of the lying one, with the

384
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 6: with the FI, the zoom, you know, and there's a

385
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 6: few other features in there as well. But I've been

386
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 6: using it for two and a half days, and you know,

387
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 6: it's a cliche that every person in the interview is

388
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 6: a rich It's best him what it is.

389
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: And well, of course it is. It better be they

390
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: better not go back in time and give us a

391
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: worse iPhone in the last year. I hope you're not

392
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: talking on it right now because the connection's not very good.

393
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 6: I'm talking to you on the fourteen.

394
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: Okay, good, So of the fifteen would probably sound a

395
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: lot better. All right. So you took it to Venice

396
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 1: Beach and you tried the ultra wide, the telephoto lenses, uh,

397
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: and the new zoom which is five x. But you

398
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: were kind of sad that you couldn't find the three

399
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: X zoom anymore.

400
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 6: I don't think I'll be the only one. I mean,

401
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 6: their marketing materials and the leading they said there's seven

402
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 6: lenses and there's only three, and then people say, okay, well,

403
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 6: and they've mentioned three xs being a bunch of the marketing,

404
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 6: and three x is what anybody who had the Icon

405
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 6: fourteen Pro Max had, which was a seventy seven millimeter.

406
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 6: And also it's not there. It's not on the new one.

407
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 6: It's I think it's on the fifteen Pro, but it's

408
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 6: not on the fifteen Pro Max.

409
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

410
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 6: And the only way you can get to with digital zoom,

411
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 6: which is basically just crop in the image, and that's

412
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 6: not that's not anything that I want to do. No

413
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 6: so bad.

414
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look so on the on the new

415
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen Pro Max, they kind of diverge the fifteen

416
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: Pro goes up to three X zoom. The pro max

417
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: goes up to five and so the seven lenses they're

418
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: talking about are all sort of optical zoom ranges. So

419
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: you get a white ultra wide angle at point five,

420
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: then you get one at twenty four millimeters, then you

421
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: get twenty eight millimeters. You can tap it again at

422
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: one point two X. You can tap it again to

423
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: get thirty five millimeters, which is one point five X.

424
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: Then you can tap two X, and then you can

425
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: tap five X. So those are the seven lenses they're

426
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: talking about. I know it's a little odd because you

427
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: look on the back and you say, hold on, there's

428
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: only three lenses. But they're saying that they're cropping in

429
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: because the processor the sensor is so big. Even when

430
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: they crop in at these different kind of predefined ranges,

431
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: the photos are going to look like they were taken

432
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: with that dedicated lens. So what are the pictures any different?

433
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: Are they meaningfully different than the previous model?

434
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 6: I thought, well, you know, I've only had to do it,

435
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 6: But the I thought the telephono stuff I got close

436
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 6: up of the skaters were particularly good. Okay, I mean,

437
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 6: I'm not photographed. That's gonna go to work for him.

438
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 6: But I thought they were sharp, and those are hard

439
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 6: to get somebody skating in front of you really bad.

440
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 6: They were there and they were good. And I thought

441
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 6: the low lights stuff was good.

442
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: And the lens flare. I know that they talked about

443
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: the lens flair. I in my limited testing. I you know,

444
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: I aimed it at some lights at our studio at KTLA.

445
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: I still saw a pretty big lens flare.

446
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 6: Sure so did I. It's less than on the fourteen,

447
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 6: but it's still there. And the hip the solution they

448
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 6: always tell me. If you're shooting a sun set and

449
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 6: you get the lens flare and it bothers, you reposition

450
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 6: the phone the camera to get that lens flare into

451
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 6: the sun and the sun will make it.

452
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good idea. Okay, you tried the USB sport.

453
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: Now did you use did you use the cable they

454
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: gave you or did you try one of the speedier

455
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: cables they gave me? Oh, they gave you the speed here,

456
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: so you did get a chance or was it really fast?

457
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 6: Or what I hit? And this? So right now I'm

458
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 6: having a hard time calling up image capture and making

459
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 6: it work. What they did was that what I was

460
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 6: able to do, which would connect my external sc drive

461
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 6: to the phone. And I think your listeners should hear

462
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 6: about what you have to go to do this because

463
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 6: they don't cont So you take it to terabyte, one terabyte,

464
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 6: whatever and you plug it into the UFC and that's great.

465
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 6: Now what Okay, So first of all, you have to

466
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 6: reformat the hard up before you put it and you

467
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 6: have that. You do that in utilities, just utilities, and

468
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 6: you have to format it to x back. I always

469
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 6: had my drive format it the mac os journals.

470
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: So x fat will work across uh pretty much Windows

471
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: and Mac. It's more universal than the journal.

472
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

473
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 6: So once you do that, then you put it back

474
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 6: into the phone and then you open the files and

475
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 6: in the file tap under locations you will now see

476
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: the DROST.

477
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: Great.

478
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 6: Now you want to back up a bunch of photos

479
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 6: and videos that you took that day on your iPhone,

480
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 6: You go to the photos app, you select them, then

481
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 6: you go to the share menu and you call it

482
00:24:54,080 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 6: and you click exports unmodified the original. Wow, that was

483
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 6: a lot of steps, but it worked.

484
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: Okay, it sounds complicated, but I know I know, it's

485
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: it's a look. That's that's kind of a pro thing.

486
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: That's something that pro people will do. I was also

487
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: testing out the feature where you can make an edit

488
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: to one photo and then copy it to a bunch

489
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: of photos, which I thought was kind of cool. But

490
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: you should watch Jefferson's video he made. He made it

491
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: at Venice Beach. Quick turnaround. You got your phone, you

492
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: headed to Venice Beach and you took a whole bunch

493
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: of pictures and videos. And I like to tip about

494
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: the burst mode because that was not turned on on

495
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: my phone. So you can go into settings and the

496
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: camera and turn on burst modes. When you press the

497
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: volume up key, it will take a burst of pictures. Right.

498
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

499
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 6: I mean your alternative is you could lightly lightly press

500
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 6: the shutter fly the shutter. For most people when they

501
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 6: touched the shutter the white button end up clicking record videos.

502
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 6: It's very hard, but the side buy in buttons fantastic.

503
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good to do it. And then of

504
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: course you got the action button too, which you can

505
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: use as a shutter. Jefferson, thanks for joining me today.

506
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: Photo walks dot tv is Jefferson's website. He does a

507
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: lot of great oh photowalkstv dot com. No wonder what, Okay, Well,

Speaker 1: me the website again photos dot com dot com. Okay,

511
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: And you can follow Jefferson on YouTube and see his

512
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: video the UH shot at Venice Beach with the new iPhone.

513
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: So I took out the new iPhone UH yesterday and

514
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: I compared it against the old iPhone iPhone fourteen, and

515
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little bit of improvement. But then

516
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: I took it out against the Samsung, and I fully

517
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: expected the iPhone to just sort of like blow away

518
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: the Samsung S twenty three Ultro because it's a brand

519
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: new device. The Samsung's been out for you know, eight

520
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: months now, whatever it's been. And so when I got

521
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: home and started comparing the pictures, I was like, wow,

522
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: these are not like it was not just cut and dry,

523
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: like one is better than the other. There are certain

524
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: circumstances where the iPhone performs better, there are certain places

525
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: where the Samsung performs better. But in general, they kind

526
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: of took very similar pictures and in some ways the

527
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: Samsung even looked better in various support in various pictures.

528
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: So I ended up posting all these to my Instagram.

529
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: If you want to check them out, just go to

530
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: at rich on tech. If it disappears by the time

531
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: you see it, it is available as a highlight on

532
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: my profile page. It says iPhone fifteen versus And I'm

533
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: going to continue to update this with all the different

534
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: phones that I can. So I'm going to do like

535
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: the Pixel, I'm going to do some of the other

536
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: phones that I can find to compare it to, because

537
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: I think it really it gives you a little perspective

538
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: that you know, the iPhone is great and people get

539
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: really excited about it, but it's not the end all

540
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: camera out there. Like people love their iPhones, but when

541
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: you look at these other phones, they like the Pixel

542
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: and the Samsung. They do a really nice job too

543
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: in a lot of circumstances. So if you got something

544
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: that you like, you don't need to feel that fomo

545
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: of like, oh, I'm not with the latest iPhone or whatever,

546
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: even eve an older iPhone. According to the product manager

547
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: that I spoke to, he said, basically, if you have

548
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: an iPhone thirteen or fourteen, you don't necessarily need to upgrade.

549
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: He said. If you're on an older phone like the

550
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven or twelve, that's when you'll start to see

551
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: some of the improvements with the camera quality. Now, by

552
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: the way, I had people respond with their thoughts about

553
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: the comparison of the different types of photos, and I

554
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: got tons of responses, and so I went through the

555
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: painstaking process. There's no easy way of doing this. I

556
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: copied and pasted all of their responses into one giant document.

557
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: Then I fed that into AI and I had AI

558
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: analyze what people said and to see the trends, and

559
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: so I posted that on my Instagram and it was

560
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: quite interesting what people said. Overall. I'll just give you

561
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: the main takeaway that it said, because I thought this

562
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. It said, if I can find it here,

563
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm going live to my Instagram right here. I know,

564
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: very compelling to search through my own Instagram while I'm

565
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: on the radio here, But let me see what I said. Okay, uh,

566
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: it's said in summary, the consensus seems to be that

567
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: this Samsung camera produces superior image quality and performance compared

568
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: to the iPhone, even amongst iPhone users and fans. Oh

569
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: there we go. Uh, some iPhone loyalists still prefer the

570
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: iPhone despite admitting Samsung's technical superiority. So what it comes

571
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: down to really again, and this is something I've noticed

572
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: over the years, is that people just have a loyalty.

573
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: They like what brand they have. All right, Triple eight

574
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: Rich one on one eighty eight seven four to two

575
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: four one zero one. You have a question, you have

Speaker 1: he's going to talk about his latest venture. Plus, we're

582
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: going to talk about some of the Microsoft announcements, some

583
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: of the Google announcements, and a cool photo tool that

584
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: can take an old picture and using AI tell you

585
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: what you're that picture was taken. Kind of fun. Let's

586
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: go to Daniel and receive that. Daniel, you're on with Rich.

587
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 7: Hey, Rich, thanks for taking my call.

588
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 6: Man.

589
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I live an apartment building. It's pretty sketch

590
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 7: and I've been meaning to place a doorbell cam. Sure,

591
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 7: but we're not allowed a drilling to the walls or

592
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 7: the doors.

593
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 8: Some people do it and they have been getting their

594
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 8: units stolen.

595
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 4: So I have kind of two questions.

596
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 8: One is, do you know any way to actually secure

597
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 8: the camera without having to drill into the door. And

598
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 8: I really don't want to pay in another subscription for

599
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 8: like a wind.

600
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 6: Door bill or anything.

601
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, something that can record locally, any idea?

602
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think, I mean on your first thing

603
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: with the uh, you know, the the doorbell being taken,

604
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: there's not much you can do if you're if you're

605
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: not able to drill into the wall. I mean, no

606
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: matter what however you place it, it's going to be,

607
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, removable.

608
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 8: Now I've seen so it kind of looks like a

609
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 8: metal case that of patches onto the traditional width of

610
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 8: the door.

611
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, Yeah, I mean there might be

612
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: an accessory on Amazon, and I'm sure there is like

613
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: that that actually probably sounds like the best way to

614
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: do it is some sort of like almost like a strap,

615
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: like a metal strap that somehow connects and then you

616
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: connect the device to that. You could probably get something

617
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: like that, I would, Yeah, that's something that you could

618
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: probably get. But the the video doorbell that i'd recommend

619
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: because you want something that you don't want to pay

620
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: for the subscription. I think probably the best brand is Blink.

621
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: Have you heard of them?

622
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 4: Yes?

623
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: So Blink is kind of Amazon on sub brand for

624
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: their you know kind of like it's kind of like

625
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: Ring but it's a little different. So the deal with

626
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: Blink is that they're claim to fame is that a

627
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: couple of batteries in this thing last like two years.

628
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: Like I don't know how they do it, but yeah,

629
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: so you don't have to replace the batteries very very often.

630
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: And I actually interviewed the you know, the guy founded

631
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: Blink or whatever, and I was like, how do you

632
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: doing this? And that's like there, That's why Amazon paid

633
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: so much to acquire this company because it's like their

634
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: magic sauce is the fact that they've somehow figured out

635
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: how to like sip a triple a or double a

636
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: battery over two years versus like you know, for me

637
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: with my video doorbell and replacing the battery like every

638
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: three months at this point. So I think that's the

639
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: one to go with. It's sixty bucks. But here's the thing,

640
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: So it doesn't have local storage. You have to get

641
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: this little module. It's called a sink module, and so

642
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: this blinks. Now here's I think this is on the

643
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: pro side of what you're talking about earlier with your

644
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, this thing getting stolen. So this little so

645
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: you have the doorbell, you put that on your door, right,

646
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: however you want to attach it with that accessory or whatever.

647
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: And then you get this sink module that sits in

648
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: your home and that connects to your WiFi, and that

649
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: sink module kind of powers this device and also stores

650
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: the SD card or a flash drive, so that the

651
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: video goes from the doorbell to this sink drive, right,

652
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: and so it's off it's off site. It's off of

653
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: the doorbell, which means if someone actually stole this doorbell,

654
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: you'd have a little video of them. Not that you're

655
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: really that. You know, police aren't going to go after

656
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: someone that stole a doorbell, I don't think, but I mean,

657
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: but you'll at least have a little video that you can,

658
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, print out and put on your front door

659
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, give me this back. But I

660
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: think that's the way to go. So in that sink module,

661
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I got to look up the price

662
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: on that but you know, it's probably another fifty sixty bucks,

663
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: but you're looking at maybe one d one hundred and

664
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: fifty dollars including a little accessory for the door, and

665
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: that way you won't have to pay subscription fee, but

666
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: you will have local storage of your videos in your

667
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: house as well, and of course you can access them

668
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: through your phone and all that good stuff. But I

669
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: think that's the way to go. If you go Ring,

670
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: if you go Whys, I believe is all wired. I

671
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: don't know if they have a wireless one. There's another

672
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: brand called Kangaroo, but I believe that they. I don't

673
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: believe that that's a solution that you need. I think

674
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: that they don't have the local storage that you want,

675
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: but I think that's the way to do it. Check

676
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: out the Blink camera. Check out a way to install it.

677
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look up some ways now I'm curious. I

678
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: know that Ring has like a peephole cam for exactly

679
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, so that you can install it

680
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: without drilling or making any holes in your door. You

681
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: just use the existing people that's on your door, and

682
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: you can just replace that with the camera, and then

683
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: when you move out of the apartment, you can just

684
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: put the peopole back. But you know, I was I've

685
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: lived in apartments for many years, and I was always

686
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: so like hesitant to drill into the walls because of

687
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: these big fees and stuff like that. And honestly, if

688
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: you've ever painted a wall, it's really not that big

689
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: of a deal. You seal it up, you paint over it.

690
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: It's like, a hole is not the end of the

691
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: world in a wall. And if it makes it more

692
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: secure to install this thing, maybe just go for it

693
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: and deal with the repercussions later. That's what I would do,

694
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: because that's what I decided to do. I like my

695
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: old apartment. I was like so careful about every single

696
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: like I was using like those command strips for everything.

697
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: And then when I got into my house, I was like, oh,

698
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm drilling everything into the wall, and you know who cares?

699
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: And now I just you know, I did that in

700
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: one room and I have so many holes in the wall.

701
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: I finally painted over all of it, but you know,

702
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: you little spackle, little little sandpaper, and it's all good

703
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: to go. Let's see what else. Oh, I want to

704
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,479
Speaker 1: tell you about one feature that I thought was pretty cool.

705
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: On the new TV OS. So this is on the

706
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: new Apple TV. If you have an Apple TV four K.

707
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: For the first time ever, you can use FaceTime on

708
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: your TV. So Apple TV will let you FaceTime. I

709
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: don't know why this wasn't available years ago, but the

710
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: trick is you can't just use any old webcam. You

711
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: have to use like an iPhone to be your webcam.

712
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: So of course, you know, Apple loves to like, you know,

713
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: do all that kind of stuff. The other thing that's

714
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: kind of cool is you can now locate your remote control.

715
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: So if you have a newer remote and a newer

716
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: Apple TV, you can use your phone to find your

717
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: SERI remote. This is rich on Tech. Welcome back to

718
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. This is the show where I talk

719
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: about the tech stuff I think you should know about.

720
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: It's also the place where I answer your questions. My

721
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: name is rich Demiro. You can find me on social

722
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: media at rich on Tech. I'm on Instagram, Facebook X

723
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: sometimes threads, mostly on Instagram Stories. That's really where I

724
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: put a lot on my effort. But I realized it's funny.

725
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: I realized with Instagram Stories, you can't share my stories.

726
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: So I share a lot of like useful information, and

727
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: it's great if you're a follower of mine, but if

728
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: if you're a follower, you can't share that out to

729
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: other people. And so I've started to actually share stuff

730
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't typically share in the feed, like in

731
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: the regular feed. I always thought that was just for

732
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: like pictures and videos, but now I'm doing like tech

733
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: stuff because you can actually share that information. So if

734
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,959
Speaker 1: you see something useful that I share, you can send

735
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: it off to your friends on your stories, whereas if

736
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: I share that on my stories, you can't do that.

737
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: So it's a small little change. But if you do

738
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: follow me on Instagram, that is the reasoning behind why

739
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm starting to share more of my stuff on the

740
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: main feed, because it just makes it easier. I guess

741
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: the other way you'd have to do it is like

742
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: take a screenshot of my story and then post that

743
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: on your stories. But who does that? I don't two

744
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: people do that. Maybe you can also listen to this

Speaker 1: Let's go to uh Stephen in San Diego. You have

753
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: a suggestion, Stephen.

754
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ty, how you doing?

755
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: I'm doing great? What's up?

756
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 9: So this is a you had a couple of callers ago,

757
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 9: Gloria when I was listening itself so bad for I

758
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 9: had a same similar situations where I have T Mobile

759
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 9: and a lot of the time like I'm in foothills

760
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 9: and you have zero service, but they offer you a

761
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 9: device for free that you've connected to your Wi Fi

762
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 9: and has a little wired transponder that you put on

763
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 9: the wall and it's for satellite.

764
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 6: And then boom, you have perfect helf service.

765
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 9: In your home and you can turn Wi Fi off

766
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 9: on your phone and have full bars LTE five everything

767
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 9: that you made.

768
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good, good idea. These were popular back

769
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: in the day. I feel like I'm surprised if they

770
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: still do these. I'm trying to think of what the

771
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: term is that they and what you would do is, yeah,

772
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: you would plug it into your home Internet and then

773
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: it would put out basically would replicate the cellular signal

774
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: in your home, and that's how it would work. You know,

775
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: a booster, I guess they're called, but those have really

776
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: gone out of favor, largely because so many people have

777
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: now what's called Wi Fi calling on their phone. So

778
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: I was going to suggest that to Gloria earlier, to

779
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: turn make sure she has Wi Fi calling on, which

780
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: you can turn on on Android or iOS by going

781
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: into your cellular settings. But the thing about Wi Fi calling,

782
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: that only works when you're at your home. So if

783
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: you're in sort of like the foothills, or you're in

784
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: an area that doesn't have strong signal to begin with,

785
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: the Wi Fi calling is not really going to help.

786
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: Or these boosters aren't going to help because they're really

787
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: just for your house. And so with the booster, it's great,

788
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: but it's you know, it's largely replaced by the Wi

789
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: Fi calling. So it's a great suggestion, Stephen, Thank you.

790
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but it doesn't get to the bigger

791
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: issue of you need a signal that works in your area,

792
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: and so I was trying to come up with some

793
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: ways of figuring that out. I think asking friends and

794
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: family that are in the area is the best way. So,

795
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: for instance, where I work, there are certain carriers that

796
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: work really well and certain that don't. And the way

797
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: I've figured that out over the years is well, I've

798
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: had test phones that I can test them on, but

799
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: I've also just asked people like, hey, is your service

800
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: work well here? And who do you have? And people

801
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: they love to share that information. But a couple of

802
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: other places you can look. There's a website called open Signal.

803
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: They have an app that you can kind of it's

804
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: a crowdsourced coverage map, and so basically, if you install

805
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: this app on your phone, you you can kind of

806
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: submit some of your tests of your network to the app,

807
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: and then they use that and share it with other people.

808
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: And so you can also go on the app and

809
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: see who has the best data in your area. Now,

810
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: I was just doing a little search to see if

811
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: there's anything similar online, and there's one called coverage map

812
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: dot com. I've never heard of this one, but they

813
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: seem to have coverage maps for all the different carriers.

814
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: You can pop in your zip code and see what

815
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: Verizon looks like, what AT and T looks like, and

816
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: what T Mobile looks like. It's all color coded and

817
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: you can then narrow down by five g LTE and

818
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: you can also click best and see which carrier has

819
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: the best coverage in your area, and then if you

820
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: click it'll give you all the information about that carrier speed.

821
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: So again that's coverage map dot com. The other one

822
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned is called open signal dot com. So thanks Steven,

823
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: great question, great comment, and there's so many. Look, I mean,

824
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, signals have

825
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: gotten really good in most places, Like people have a

826
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: pretty good cellular signal, and people don't mind dealing with

827
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: a bad signal for a little bit, and then they'll

828
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: kind of reconnect. They'll say, hey, let me you know,

829
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: I've got a bad signal, let me call you back.

830
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: So it's not like the old days where we used

831
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: to just deal with like really bad signals for like

832
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: entire conversations. Now, if you have a bad signal, you say,

833
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: you know what, let me call you back when I

834
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: get to a better signal. And most of the time

835
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: that's only maybe one hundred feet or a mile away,

836
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: or you know, depending on where you are. You just

837
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: have to get to a better place, or you switch

838
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: carriers all together and you just find the one that's

839
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: best for your house. I always say to people, find

840
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: the carrier that works best at your house, where you

841
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: work and where you live, and that covers like ninety

842
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: percent of the time that you spend. For instance, my

843
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: dad just switched carriers recently because he was so tired

844
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: of his carrier not working where he would spend his weekends.

845
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: And so he finally said, hey, which carrier works up here?

846
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: And he got it and now it works great. Triple

847
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four

848
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 1: to two four one zero one is the phone number

849
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: Google Bard this week. If you're familiar with Google Bard,

850
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: we've talked about it on this show. Google Bard is

851
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Google's answer to chat GPT. It's free, go to bard

852
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: dot Google dot com to access it, and this week

853
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: it got a new feature. And the big difference between

854
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: Google Bard and chat GBT is that Google Bard has

855
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: access to the real time Internet. Chat GBT does not.

856
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: Everything that you're searching on there is back from like

857
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So it's still great and it still

858
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: does a lot of stuff. But Bard, you can ask

859
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: it like what was the score of the game last

860
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: night and it can tell you. So Google Bard got

861
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: a new feature this week where it can now integrate

862
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: with Google apps including Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Maps

863
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: and YouTube. So now you can ask it to search

864
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: your Gmail. And I know it sounds kind of scary

865
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: because we also think about these AI services as sharing

866
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: what we talk to them about with other people, and

867
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: so you're like, wait a second if I put my

868
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: Gmail on here, are there people going to see my Gmail?

869
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: And Google says no, anything that you're doing that requires

870
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: your own data like Gmail or Drive, they're not going

871
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: to share with other people. But this allows you to

872
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: get sort of personalized information. So you can say, hey,

873
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: can you tell me Bart what's the main things I

874
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: need to know about my kids' school this week? Or

875
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: I asked it to analyze all of the conversations between

876
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: me and my wife over the years, and I said,

877
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: can you tell me some of the main takeaways? And

878
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: it's it like analyzed our entire relationship. I thought that

879
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: was pretty wild. So this is a new feature that

880
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: is free. You can enable it the first time you

881
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 1: go to bard dot Google dot com, and the idea

882
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: is just to give people a reason to access this.

883
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: It's odd that Google was so far advanced with their AI,

884
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: but they sort of fell behind because chat GBT came

885
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: out of the gate so strong and everyone was just like, oh,

886
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: chat GBT is where it's at. And so Google's like,

887
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: hold on, We've been doing AI forever, and so they

888
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: really had to kind of get into a position of

889
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: let's show people what we can do with our AI.

890
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: So now they have it in so many of their

891
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: different products, not just Bard. You can also do AI

892
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: search on Google. You can enable that, you can do

893
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: AI in your Gmail, you can have it help you

894
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: write your email, AI and docs and Drive, you can

895
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: have it help you come up with slideshows and all

896
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: that kinds of stuff. So again there's a lot of

897
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: different things you can do with Google with AI. It's

898
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: just people just they kind of identify AI as chat GBT,

899
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: but there's many of them out there. You've got Bing AI,

900
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: You've got Claude, which is one of my favorites by Anthropic,

901
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: and of course you've got Google Bard, So lots of

902
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: options for AI. I'm finding it to be very useful

903
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: in my life to summarize things and to also kind

904
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: of analyze a large amount of data. And Bing is

905
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: good just like Bard for sort of real time search

906
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: results that all so include AI check it out Google

907
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: bard Bar dot Google dot com. All right, give me

925
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: not block the doorbell sensor, and it's basically a little

926
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: kind of a strap of metal that it looks like

927
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: it kind of screws onto your door like with a

928
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: just a you know, kind of like a vice gript

929
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and so you mount it. It goes

930
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: around the back of the door and around the side

931
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: of the door, and then the front has like the

932
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: plate that you put the blink video doorbell on. So

933
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: there you go. Twenty one to ninety nine. That's for

934
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: our caller earlier, Daniel and Rosita was asking for a

935
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: way to mount his video doorbell without drilling into the door.

936
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: So thanks for sending that along, Kelly. I'll put it

937
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: in the show notes at richontech dot TV. Let's go

938
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: to Joe in Glen Dora. Joe, You're on with rich Oh.

939
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:51,959
Speaker 4: Hi you Rich.

940
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 10: I have an old Wolverine media player that has a

941
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 10: little screen to view videos and pictures, and I've got

942
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 10: a whole bunch of picktures that I put on there

943
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 10: a long time ago, because it has slots for SD

944
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 10: cards and things to put stuff on there. Sure, and

945
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 10: now I'd like to take stuff off and get it

946
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 10: to my computer and I connect the USB drive or

947
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 10: the USB cable that comes with it to the computer

948
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 10: and it's supposed to automatically work with McIntosh and Windows.

949
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 4: But yet it's.

950
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 10: Really so old that it has drivers for Windows ninety

951
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 10: eight and it doesn't say anything about Windows ten. It

952
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 10: says it's supposed to automatically work with Windows XP and

953
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 10: it's the old it's an MVP nine thousand series media player.

954
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: Wow, and so you've got and this is called a Wolverine.

955
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: I've never heard of this thing.

956
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, they've got a line out now. They've

957
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 10: upgraded it now where it's even attached to a DVD

958
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 10: player and you can it's got a bigger screen and everything.

959
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: Now, okay, I'm looking at this Wolverine data MVP nine

960
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: thousand with built in seven to one memory card reader

961
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: and writer. So that's the one you've got. And I'm

962
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: trying to see do they have a picture of the connection.

963
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: So you connect it to your computer and via USB

964
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: and nothing happens.

965
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 10: Yes, that's that's true. Actually, what's weird though, is if

966
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 10: I run a particular disc utility that does see it,

967
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 10: and it says there's no media on it at all,

968
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 10: it's not partitioned or anything. And yet it's supposed to

969
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 10: automatically mount with Windows and Mac and I use Linux,

970
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 10: and it says it's supposed to work with Linux also,

971
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 10: and you know, the disc utility programs seem to see

972
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 10: it as a drive, but yet it doesn't mount on

973
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 10: the desktop for me to copy files off it.

974
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: Interesting. Okay, well, so you've tried connecting this to which computers?

975
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 10: Well, I've tried a Linux machine, a Windows machine, a

976
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 10: Macintosh and.

977
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: None of them see it, right wow? Okay, so they

978
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: see and some of them see the device, but it

979
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 1: doesn't see any of the data on there.

980
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 10: Yes, there's utility programs on Windows and Linux that both

981
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 10: see that the Wolverine is attached as a hard drive.

982
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 10: But yet you know, all I can do is format

983
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 10: it or partition it. I can't copy files off of

984
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 10: But when I go to file manager for Windows ten,

985
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 10: it doesn't see it, and the McIntosh desktop does not

986
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 10: mount it.

987
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: That's frustrating. What now, this is kind of random, But

988
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: have you tried maybe plugging it into like a smartphone,

989
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: like an Android smartphone and seeing if that sees it?

990
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 4: You mean via USB?

991
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they have a file you know, a

992
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: file viewer on Android and on iOS. Now, I mean

993
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: it might you know, you might be able to see

994
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: on those just out of curiosity, like I'm just trying

995
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: to get through all the different things that might be

996
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: able to identify this. My guess is that it's formatted

997
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: in a way that these things are just not reading

998
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: it because it's so old. Now I'm looking up this company.

999
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: They're based in Irvine, they're still around. Have you gotten

1000
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: in touch with them about why you can't see this stuff?

1001
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 10: I've gone to their site and they don't really have

1002
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,760
Speaker 10: any way to you know, ask them any questions or anything.

1003
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 10: And I'm going to in fact, that's my next step,

1004
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 10: is to go to their site again to see if

1005
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 10: there's some way that I can contact them.

1006
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that is my next step.

1007
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 1: And they've got an email address. They've got an email

1008
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: address and a phone number. I don't know about the

1009
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: pone number. They're probably not going to be tech support

1010
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: over the phone, but you might be able to email

1011
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: them and just tell them that you have this older

1012
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: model and see why it's not, you know, being shown.

1013
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's the way it's formatted. Now. The other

1014
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: thing I would ask is this does have an SD

1015
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: card slot, right or a media card slot?

1016
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 4: Yes?

1017
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: Can you go? And everything's on the internal on this device?

1018
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 4: Yes?

1019
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: So is there any way to copy from the internal

1020
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: drive to a memory card through the device.

1021
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 10: I've tried that and I put in an old two

1022
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 10: gigabyte Fat thirty two s D card and it says

1023
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 10: reading card and then it says failed to innit. And

1024
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 10: it's supposed to mount on the hard you know, the

1025
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 10: hard drive.

1026
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 1: Well, maybe maybe you format that drive that little card.

1027
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: Maybe you format that. It's saying that this according to

1028
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: the facts on their website. They're saying, you know, it

1029
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: has to be format as FAT thirty two or ntfs,

1030
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: which are two different, you know formats. Obviously x fat

1031
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: is the newest one that's not really supported according to

1032
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: this fact, but that might be the way to do it.

1033
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: So format the drive is FAT or FAT thirty two.

1034
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: I know it's an older format, but pop that in

1035
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: and see. And also you might be able to see

1036
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: if the Wolverine itself can actually format the SD card

1037
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: and then you might be able to copy stuff over.

1038
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: The other thing is if you can connect this to

1039
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: a TV screen, you might be able to connect it

1040
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: to a computer and just record this stuff like that.

1041
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: But that's not the best solution. It sounds like you

1042
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 1: got to get in touch with this company and see

1043
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: if they have any updates to the software, if there's

1044
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 1: a trick to getting this to display and to mount

1045
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: on your computer, because you've tried a lot of different things,

1046
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: none of them seem to be working. I've got the

1047
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: same issue at home. I've got this old device that

1048
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: I have a whole bunch of pictures on that I've

1049
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: been meeting to get them off for many, many years now,

1050
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: and I just don't because I know it doesn't connect

1051
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: to my computer, it doesn't mount, and it's frustrating because

1052
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: you know the stuff is on there that you want,

1053
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: but you can't get to it. So again, this is

1054
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: a good reason to back up stuff when you can,

1055
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: because formats change, connections change, but we don't we continue going,

1056
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: all right, Coming up, we're gonna talk to Jamie Simmonoff,

1057
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:57,120

Speaker 1: doorbell or video doorbell on many many doors across the

00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,319

Speaker 1: like Doorbaugh.

1077
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 11: I think it was called it was it was, Yeah,

1078
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 11: it was not a great name, but I started out

1079
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 11: with Doorbot.

1080
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: I improved from there.

1081
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you improved in a pretty good way.

1082
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: We we did the story back in the day for

1083
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: KTLA when you did the video doorbell, when it first

1084
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: came out, you pretty much came up with that idea, right,

1085
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: was there something on the market that was similar before

1086
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: you came out with that or No.

1087
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 11: The funny thing is, I actually I did come up

1088
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 11: with the idea, But I looked for something, Like I

1089
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 11: was actually looking for one. I couldn't find one, so

1090
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 11: I just built it for myself. But I to your point,

1091
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 11: like I actually thought one would exist. I had an iPhone,

1092
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 11: I couldn't hear the doorbell, and I felt like, I

1093
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 11: just will buy a video doorbell that's Wi Fi connected.

1094
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 11: It didn't exist, so I just kind of built one,

1095
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 11: and then that became a thing.

1096
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: Did you ever imagine it would become as big of

1097
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: a force that it did? I mean, did you have

1098
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: an idea when you kind of like started along the

1099
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: path in that thing, like developing it?

1100
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. You know, I think anyone's hopeful that something.

1101
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 11: I would say, even in my wildest dreams, I could

1102
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 11: have hoped for it to get to where it did,

1103
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 11: which is you know, Ring is now, as far as

1104
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 11: I can tell, the largest home security company in the world.

1105
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: Wow, And it does, and of course you know many

1106
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 1: more products. Now you have left Ring and you are

1107
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: now chief doorman at door dot com. Can you tell

1108
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: me about this?

1109
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 6: So?

1110
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: What does what does that mean exactly that you're the

1111
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 1: chief doorman?

1112
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1113
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 2: Well, I you know I do, like I always had

1114
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 2: my email on every box at ring.

1115
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 11: I like to be sort of with the customer and

1116
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 11: customer centric and so the chief Doorman is also like

1117
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 11: aligning myself, you know, with the customers. What door dot

1118
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 11: com does is we have we started with locks for

1119
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 11: apartment buildings and doing the software around that, so that

1120
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 11: was called Latch, and then the rebranding to door dot

1121
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 11: com is expanding the vision into other things and services

1122
00:56:59,280 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 11: other than.

1123
00:56:59,760 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: Just like.

1124
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 2: Maids and dog walkers and things like that.

1125
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 11: And sort of having an app that the access control

1126
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 11: and the services together.

1127
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: So explain what that means. What's the vision for this.

1128
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 11: So the vision is that you're living in an apartment

1129
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 11: and you want to book a maid or a dog

1130
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 11: walker and you can book, schedule, pay through the app

1131
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 11: as well as the access control like the lock. If

1132
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 11: someone wants to come to your house, come to your apartment,

1133
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 11: that that will let them in automatically at that time.

1134
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 11: Even with the best electronic locks, today people are basically

1135
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 11: copying and pasting codes or going into another app to

1136
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,959
Speaker 11: give them access, and I think that services and lock

1137
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 11: need to be put together. We launched our first service,

1138
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 11: which is actually a driver's app called James, which which

1139
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 11: sort of does that we were already working on that

1140
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 11: before we combined with Lads, so that's why we did

1141
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 11: that one. But we were always building the technologies that

1142
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 11: we could combine all of this together into sort of

1143
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 11: services and locks.

1144
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: And so James the James App. As I understand it,

1145
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, so let's say you take an uber

1146
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: and you like love the driver, but you never see

1147
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: that person ever again because of the way the platform works.

1148
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: But with this you can kind of pick your favorites

1149
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: and continue to use them over and over.

1150
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 2: Exactly.

1151
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 11: And the real benefit to the drive we call these

1152
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 11: drivers the honest day's worker. The benefit to them is

1153
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 11: that they get to keep most of the economics of

1154
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 11: the ride. So we charge a five percent service fee

1155
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 11: to the rider, but the driver gets to keep one

1156
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 11: hundred percent of what they want to charge for the ride.

1157
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 2: So kind of for everybody, you get quality and trust, they.

1158
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 11: Get more of the economics, and they're able to be

1159
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,439
Speaker 11: sort of a true independent worker through the James App.

1160
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 2: And we believe that that is a great thing.

1161
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 11: For the honest day's worker what people would call, you know,

1162
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 11: the gig worker independent contractors.

1163
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: So it's interesting because the quality part, let's say, you know,

1164
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: because you are sort of your own boss in that aspect,

1165
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: you and you want these repeat customers, you're actually going

1166
00:58:59,960 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: to perform a higher level of service because you know,

1167
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: you want to earn that trust in that relationship versus

1168
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: and look, Uber is very popular, but sometimes you don't

1169
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get. And the drivers could be

1170
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of all over the place sometimes because they know

1171
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: that they'll never see you again. You know, they can

1172
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: have a hundred rides that are just kind of not

1173
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: very good, but they still did their hundred rides and

1174
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: they made some money. But what are you going to

1175
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: do at the end of the day if you had

1176
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: a bad ride? I mean, give the person a bad

1177
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: rating and move on, right, And.

1178
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: I think what we're seeing is that again.

1179
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 11: I think one of my favorite sayings right now is

1180
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 11: show me an incentive and I'll show you the outcome.

1181
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 11: And the incentive on all of these different platforms is

1182
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 11: to basically do the minimum amount to be on the

1183
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 11: platform and be successful.

1184
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 2: But it's not to do the maximum. And with James

1185
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 2: it aligns you the other way, which is you get.

1186
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 11: All the economics and so that you can also invest

1187
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 11: in delivering the best service, which means people will book

1188
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 11: you more. So it's like this, it's this nice flywheel

1189
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 11: effect that happened when you do that, because on these

1190
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 11: other platforms, I will get, you know, a service worker,

1191
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 11: a driver that is great at the whatever level you picked,

1192
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 11: and then on the same level, same day, you get

1193
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 11: someone who's not great, and so you're paying the same amount.

1194
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 2: Both those people are next to each other in the

1195
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 2: same thing.

1196
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 11: And so I think allowing the person that really wants

1197
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 11: to again I call it the honest day's worker, allowing

1198
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 11: that person that wants to focus and hair is about

1199
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 11: the experience that they're delivering, giving them the ability to

1200
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 11: truly make the economics of it.

1201
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of what's behind all the the stuff

1202
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 2: that we're doing.

1203
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: And it makes a lot of sense. Where is that

1204
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: available right now?

1205
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 11: So James is in the app store. It's you can

1206
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 11: search James Rider and that will give you the app.

1207
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: Right now, we're going.

1208
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 11: More towards like drivers telling riders about it. So if

1209
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 11: you if you download it, if you do have a

1210
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 11: favorite driver, you can certainly download it and then just

1211
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 11: contact your favorite driver and say, hey, do you want

1212
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 11: to use this. It's certainly much easier. A lot of

1213
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 11: people are doing this today, but they're texting. So a

1214
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 11: driver will give you their number and then you have

1215
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 11: to text them. Certainly not efficient for the rider or

1216
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 11: the driver to do that.

1217
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: M interesting, all right, So back to door dot com.

1218
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: So this service it sounds like it's more. Is it

1219
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: more B to B because you're installing it on apartment

1220
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: buildings or is this going to also be for people's homes.

1221
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 11: So everything we're doing right now is B to B.

1222
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 11: So James is targeting the driver. Again, they have a

1223
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 11: there's like a consumer side obviously, but that's really what

1224
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 11: we look at is that we are providing technology to

1225
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 11: superpower our honest day's worker to deliver the best experience

1226
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 11: of their customer. Same thing with our locks in an

1227
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,479
Speaker 11: apartment building, you know, the honest day's worker, that person

1228
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 11: that's building that building, that's that's you know, from three

1229
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 11: units to three thousand units. We are superpowering them with

Speaker 11: the services above that.

1234
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: All right, so you know you're you are like the

1235
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: eternal entrepreneur. You have been in this world now, you know,

1236
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: doing these entrepreneurial things for you know what, at least

1237
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: a decade, fifteen years now. So what's your advice? Since

1238
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: I graduate college, since you graduated college. Okay, so you're

1239
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: doing stuff before even the ring, So what's your advice?

1240
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, someone's out there, they have an idea. I

1241
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: mean it takes a lot. We've all watched Shark Tank.

1242
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: You are on Shark Tank obviously, but like, what does

1243
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: it take to really get something from idea to reality

1244
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: in this world?

1245
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 2: I think, you know, realistically, it takes a lot of luck.

1246
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't want to look.

1247
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 11: I wouldn't want to You know, everyone gives advice of

1248
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,479
Speaker 11: all these different things, but in the end, like there's

1249
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 11: a lot of luck.

1250
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 2: Timing is luck. People you run into all that, so

1251
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 2: there is luck to it.

1252
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 11: I would say, doing something that you're passionate about and

1253
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 11: that is going to in some way improve the world.

1254
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 11: If you're able to do something with passion and that

1255
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 11: has a benefit to the world, I feel like you

1256
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 11: know that's it actually, and you work hard. Those sort

1257
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 11: of three pieces seem to lead to successful outcomes for.

1258
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 2: People, and then obviously you have to go do it.

1259
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 11: A lot of people talk about business, they talk about

1260
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 11: what they want to do, they talk about ideas.

1261
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 2: You know, at the end of the day, you have

1262
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 2: to execute.

1263
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Ah. I love that. Good advice. And uh, we'll be

1264
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing more about what door dot com

1265
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: does and also the James app sounds really interesting. Jamie Simonov,

1266
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining me today. I appreciate it.

1267
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 2: Thanks Rich good to good to talk to you again.

1268
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: All right. Uh oh, such a such so many fond

1269
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: memories of meeting up with Jamie in Santa Monica when

1270
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: he was running ring. I remember like the first time

1271
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: that he was showing me. I mean it was just

1272
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: like a kid in a candy store showing me like

1273
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: the whole like lab where they tested these video doorbells.

1274
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he had like this. They would literally like

1275
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: melt them because they knew they were going to be

1276
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: like in the sun all day, so they'd have like

1277
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: this box where they put them in there and just

1278
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: like see how hot they can get it before this

1279
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: thing like stopped working, and it was just like it

1280
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: was so cool. And then he'd had like people around him.

1281
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: It was a small operation when I first met him,

1282
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: but he'd have people around him be like James, you know, Jamie,

1283
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't show Rich that right now. You know

1284
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: he is a reporter, like he was just showing me

1285
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: like everything, so really really neat to see. And of

1286
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: course Shark Tank. You can still see the clip of

1287
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: that online on YouTube to see exactly what happened with

1288
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Ring and Shark Tank there. But and the first one

1289
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: we you know, this was the thing about the first

1290
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: ring doorbell that we tested. You know, you have to

1291
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 1: remember Wi Fi was not the strongest back then we're talking,

1292
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, at least ten years ago at this point.

1293
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: So people had their one little WiFi router that their

1294
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: cable company gave them, and a lot of times that

1295
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,919
Speaker 1: signal did not reach to the front door. So people

1296
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: would install these doorbells, these video doorbells, and it wouldn't

1297
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: be that great of an experience because the Wi Fi

1298
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: hadn't caught up to sort of the technology that they invented.

1299
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: And it took a while, and of course you know

1300
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: that Ring ended up you know saying company as Eero,

1301
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: which is Amazon, and so it all kind of came

1302
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: together and it was just fascinating to watch that as

1303
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: a tech observer. So very cool stuff. Jamie Simmonoff you

Speaker 1: Tech dot tv to see that. Also, I mentioned earlier

1314
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: that I am very I spent a lot of time

1315
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: on Instagram posting a lot of stuff and I posted

1316
01:05:54,720 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: something pretty interesting yesterday on iOS seventeen. There is now

1317
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: a mental health questionnaire. So this is a new feature

1318
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: in iOS seventeen, part of mental well being. So not

1319
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: only can you log your state of mind during the day,

1320
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: but also your daily mood. This is something you can

1321
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: do on your iPhone now, so you can log your emotions,

1322
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: you can log your moods, and I think that this

1323
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: is really really valuable to gain insights onto how you

1324
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: might be feeling and what's contributing to what is making

1325
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,959
Speaker 1: you feel that way. So, for instance, you can log

1326
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: that you're happy and they'll say why are you happy,

1327
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: and you can you know, has like different options. You

1328
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: could say it's because of work or family or kids

1329
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: or whatever. And on the flip side, if you log

1330
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: that you're not feeling so great, you can explain why too.

1331
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: Now this all goes into your private database on your iPhone,

1332
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: but you can see the trends over time, so you

1333
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: can see if you're getting into a mood when you, you know,

1334
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: maybe go to work every day. You can understand why

1335
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: that's happening because you're going to work and maybe you

1336
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: need to figure out why your work is causing you

1337
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: to feel that way, or maybe family gatherings or friends

1338
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. But the other interesting thing they

1339
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: have is a depression and anxiety assessment. So this is

1340
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: the same assessment that's often used in clinics. You can

1341
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: now do this right from your iPhone. It's inside the

1342
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: health app. You open up the Health app, you tap brows,

1343
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: then you tap mental well Being and it's the mental

1344
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: Mental Health questionnaire and it will ask you sixteen questions

1345
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: about how you're feeling, whether you feel nervous, anxious, or

1346
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: on edge in the past couple of weeks you have

1347
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: trouble relaxing all these different questions and then it will

1348
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: give you an assessment at the end and tell you

1349
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: basically your level of anxiety risk and depression risk. And again,

1350
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: this is all inside the health app on the iPhone,

1351
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: and these are some big, big things and this is

1352
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: not something to be taken lightly. So if you do

1353
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: need help in that aspect, obviously we seek a trained professional.

1354
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 1: This is more for kind of understanding your own feelings

1355
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: and emotions throughout the day. So that's new in iOS seventeen.

1356
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 1: And if you want the link to that, you can

1357
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: go to my Instagram at rich on Tech. My wife

1358
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: obviously is a counselor and she is big into mental

1359
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: health and awareness and I feel like it's getting better

1360
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: in America, but we're still just at the beginning of that.

1361
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: So I'm doing my best to spread the word about

1362
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: all this stuff. All right, let's go to Greg in

1371
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 13: FaceTime group call, and of course they don't think that

1372
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 13: I did it. I was three feet away from my

1373
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 13: phone and I received a phone call, I thought, and

1374

1379
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, one time.

1380
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 13: Once Now it happened again.

1381
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 12: The other time. I was on the.

1382
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 5: Phone speaking to someone and all of a sudden, I go, oh,

1383
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 5: let me call you back.

1384
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 13: I have a call for my grandson. And again it

1385
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 13: was a whole group of the family and a couple

1386
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 13: of friends.

1387
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,719
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I think I know what's happening. I think,

1388
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: well there is Okay, so this is happening when you're

1389
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: on the phone.

1390
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 13: It happened one time when I was not on the phone.

1391
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 3: And it happened one time when I was on the phone.

1392
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Okay. So there is a group FaceTime feature that is

1393
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, relatively new as of a couple of

1394
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 1: years where you can have up to I think thirty

1395
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: two people in the call. And so a couple of

1396
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: ways you can start this is obviously from the FaceTime app,

1397
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: and that would take some time to open up the

1398
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: app and set up the call. But one of the

1399
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:15,759
Speaker 1: other ways you can do this is through the Messages app.

1400
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: And so no, no, I know, but I'm saying, this

1401
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: is how it's happening to you, and I think this

1402
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: is this is my theory on what's happening. So I

1403
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: feel like when you're on your phone, this is just

1404
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: a theory. By the way, I don't know if this

1405
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: is the exact way, but I feel like when you're

1406
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: on your phone, there is a FaceTime video button in

1407
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:38,719
Speaker 1: the upper right hand corner, and that FaceTime video button

1408
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: could be pressed by your ear when your phone is

1409
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: up to your face, and I think that's what's happening.

1410
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: And so when you have a bunch of people in

1411
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: that group text, your ear is hitting that button and

1412
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: it's starting, it's initiating that call. So that's one theory.

1413
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 1: Another way you can start these calls is when you're

1414
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: in a text. If you tap the people up at

1415
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: the top, there's like a little kind of like an

1416
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: info area where it says you can call them, you

1417
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: can video chat them, you can mail them. So that

1418
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: could be another way that that is getting activated, and

1419
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 1: that's up at the top. So those are the two

1420
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 1: ways I think it's being initiated. If you don't want

1421
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: to use FaceTime and you don't want this to happen,

1422
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, you can also set the autolock on your

1423
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: phone to be to be less of a time, so

1424
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 1: a lock quicker. You could also turn off FaceTime completely

1425
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 1: if you want, and you can turn off FaceTime by

1426
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: going into settings and then FaceTime and you can turn

1427
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: it off now. Of course that's going to make it

1428
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: so that you can't use FaceTime until you turn it

1429
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 1: back on. But that's one way. I don't know of

1430
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: a way that FaceTime is initiating. There could be a

1431
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: serie command that that's starting the FaceTime call. I don't

1432
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 1: know if there is one. Let's see. Yeah, you could

1433
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: say something like make a FaceTime call to Siri, and

1434
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 1: so that could be happening. She could be misunderstanding you.

1435
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: So there's a bunch of different things. If if you

1436
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: don't want that to happen, you can keep your phone

1437
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: in the face down position and that will stop any

1438
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Siri listening. So if you have an iPhone and you've

1439
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: ever had this thing where Siri will chime in when

1440
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: you say something because it thinks it hurd the term Siri.

1441
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,919
Speaker 1: And by the way, with the new iPhone iOS seventeen,

1442
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: you no longer have to say hey Siri, it's just

1443
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Siri and she'll respond. So if you don't want that

1444
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 1: to happen, you can put your phone face down. But

1445
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 1: I think Linda, those are some of the ways that

1446
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: you can try. I'm just trying to next time it happens,

1447
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 1: just be aware of like what's happening on your phone screen,

1448
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 1: and that way you can keep that from happening. Again.

1449
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: This is rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1450
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

1451
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven

1452
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: four to two, four to one zero one. Coming up

1453
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: this hour, We're going to talk about the Ford Mustang

1454
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: mock E. This is the electric car I've been testing recently,

1455
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: and uh wow, it's a fun one. I know it's

1456
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 1: been out since like twenty twenty, and I didn't drive

1457
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: it until the last two weeks, if you can believe that.

1458
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,600
Speaker 1: And I've been wanting to get into this thing, and

1459
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 1: I gotta say I I'm a fan. By the way,

1460
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: the song you just heard, we were listening to it

1461
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: in the car yesterday and my nine year old just

1462
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: starts singing the words. We're like, how do you know

1463
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: this song? He's like, oh, hear on the radio. I

1464
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: mean he just belted out all the words. It's a

1465
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: good song. It's very soothing and relaxing. Also, coming to

1466
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: this hour, I'll talk about the price increase. Well, okay,

1467
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: it's a Amazon's doing something kind of fishy, so we'll

1468
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: talk about that. Microsoft has some new devices. Plus there

1469
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: is a free photo tool that can estimate the dates

1470
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: of your historical photos using AI. Vladimir writes in on

1471
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: my website. Rich on tech dot TV, Hey, Rich, would

1472
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: you talk about why Apple changed the notification sounds on

1473
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: iOS seventeen. My brain was already wired to the notification

1474
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: sounds on Instagram, and now they're defaulted to a much

1475
01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: lower notification default that's so low, oh, it doesn't even work.

1476
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 1: And Apple doesn't allow the user to set different notification

1477
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: sounds for different apps, so it's a dead end for me.

1478
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: It's a huge minus point for iOS seventeen. Thanks for

1479
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 1: all your hard work, Vlad. Yes, getting a lot of

1480
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: emails about this, and after like the third or fourth message,

1481
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: I always kind of like, I'm like, all right, let

1482
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 1: me see what there is to this, because you know,

1483
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: sometimes you're ahead of me, Like I always have my

1484
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 1: phone on silence, so I never hear the notifications. But

1485
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: sure enough, after I got all these messages about it,

1486
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: I said, let me see what's going on, and yeah,

1487
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 1: you can't change the default notifications for a majority of

1488
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: the apps in iOS seventeen. And the default notification sound

1489
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: is now this weird, really low sound that doesn't make

1490
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: any sense. So I have a feeling this I actually

1491
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: mark my words. Let's say it right now. End of September,

1492
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Apple will come out with an update that will change

1493
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 1: the way notification sounds work in iOS seventeen because this

1494
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,640
Speaker 1: system that they changed to is just not good. The

1495
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: fact that you can't just go ahead and change notifications.

1496
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that I could not change the default notification.

1497
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: And if you go it's it's app by app, which

1498
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: is really weird. So like some apps have like the

1499
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: notification sounds in their app settings, and then some are

1500
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:15,719
Speaker 1: in the system settings, and some of you can't change

1501
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 1: at all. And the new system settings for the notifications

1502
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 1: are really really low. So I have a feeling Apple

1503
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: will change that. So just hang in tight there, of

1504
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 1: lad keep up with the software updates. And this was

1505
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: a miss by Apple. The change to the sounds. Okay, fine,

1506
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,759
Speaker 1: but people, you know, they kind of know their iPhone

1507
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: sounds and they don't really want those messed with, whether

1508
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: you want to change them or not. You know, that

1509
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: should be up to the user, not up to Apple

1510
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: changing it for everyone. They should at least leave it

1511
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: the same, and then if you want, you can opt

1512
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: into the new changes. Let's go to uh oh, Greg

1513

Speaker 4: a better gallarity? Or should I go to an iPhone?

1532
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 6: Now?

1533
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how you walk the iPhone. Excuse me,

1534
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how you walk? You know iPhones. I

1535
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 4: thought it out in nineteen eighty one, eighty two when

1536
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 4: they had the bullet phone that came out. Oh wow,

1537
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 4: the little flip phone and you got that. Yeah, I'm

1538
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,600
Speaker 4: in my you know mine, I'm passed. Doan me?

1539
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: Wow? Okay, Well, I mean so should you'd have to

1540
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 1: learn some new things when it comes to the iPhone.

1541
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: So your first question, should you keep the Flip three?

1542
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: This is the Samsung. You said you have the Flip three?

1543
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:34,719
Speaker 4: Yes, okay.

1544
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: So I mean what I would do is I think

1545
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 1: that the Flip five is a sizeable upgrade from the three,

1546
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 1: mainly to do with the outside screen. And I believe

1547
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: we talked about do we talk about this a little bit.

1548
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: The screen was bigger, that it would be more valuable

1549
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: to you.

1550
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you did outside, Yeah you did it.

1551
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 1: We did, so I would say, I mean, you still

1552
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: have a couple of months before this is paid off.

1553
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, if you got a trade in value

1554
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 1: for it, you might you know, do the math and

1555
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: see it might be a couple of hundred bucks to

1556
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 1: get the new upgrade. I I think if the phone

1557
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: is working for you and there's not a main feature

1558
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: that you're you're wanting out of this phone, then maybe

1559
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: just stick with what you got.

1560
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 4: It's already take pictures and I call y'all. Yeah, I mean,

1561
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 4: I uh, this a Pandora.

1562
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like it's set up like that. Sounds

1563
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: like it's set up the way you want it to work.

1564
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: And so the fact is to have to go to

1565
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: a new phone and to change it all and to

1566
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: set it all up is you know, just I hear

1567
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 1: the stress in your voice, just by the idea of

1568
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 1: having to do all that.

1569
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 4: I don't know how they didn't have a computer when

1570
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 4: I went to do you know, I'm showing me too.

1571
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: So well, now now the kids just skip the computers.

1572
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 1: They go right to the phone. They don't even they

1573
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: don't even use a computer anymore. It's just all about

1574
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 1: the phone. So it's it's kind of come full circle,

1575
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: I guess.

1576
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 4: But now my phone a computer. I mean he did

1577
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 4: a phone computer, Well.

1578
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's yeah, it's I'd say it's a

1579
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: pocket computer. So I think, yeah, I mean, these these

1580
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: things can do. Let's put it this way. You said

1581
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,640
Speaker 1: you're seventy one when the computers came out first in

1582
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: your lifetime, the phone that you have is more powerful

1583
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 1: than those computers that first came out. So these phones,

1584
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 1: these phones that we have are very very powerful. How

1585
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: are you with the accessibility features on the Samsung side?

1586
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: Are they working for you?

1587
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 4: When I, let's say I call you call somebody, I

1588
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 4: just say, well, calldy body, because you're in my time.

1589
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 4: Pat okay, you know, it's not like that.

1590
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: So it works. So it's not like you're needing a

1591
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: feature that the iPhone offers. Now, the iPhone does have

1592
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:51,599
Speaker 1: some good accessibility features for folks with low vision or

1593
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, uh dexterity issues, things like that, so it does.

1594
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: They do have a fair amount of accessibility features built

1595
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 1: into the iPhone. But it's all up to you. Do

1596
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: you really want to learn something new? If if you

1597
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: feel like that's a challenge and you want to do it,

1598
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:10,599
Speaker 1: then that's great. Otherwise I think you stick.

1599
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 4: Not all. It'd be nice if I can learn that,

1600
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 4: but wow.

1601
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: Well yeah it might, it might take a little bit.

1602
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 1: But I think I think you're good with what you

1603
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 1: got right now. I think pay off the phone, enjoy

1604
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: the paid off phone for a bit, as long as

1605
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: it's not you know, frustrating you in any way or

1606
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 1: not doing something that you want it to do. But

1607
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: the only benefit I will say of Apple is, you know,

1608
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 1: if you do end up going with the iPhone, is

1609
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: that their stores really do have some great like sort

1610
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: of lessons that you could go to in person. If

1611
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: that's something that you're able to do, you could go

1612
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: to the Apple store in person and learn and and

1613
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 1: kind of understand the different features. So they have a

1614
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: lot of these classes at the Apple Store. I think

1615
01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 1: they call it like Today at Apple or something like that.

1616
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: So great question, Greg, thanks for I'm honored to be

1617
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,680
Speaker 1: on your speed dial. Thank you so much. But I

1618
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: say stick with what you got unless there's a reason

1619
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: why you need to switch to the new phone, but

1620
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: appreciate the call today, Greg in des moin thank you

1621
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: before we go to break here Amazon Amazon is you know,

1622
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 1: Prime Video has been ad free for many years and

1623
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: it's been a perk of your Prime membership. Well guess what,

1624
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: Starting next year, twenty twenty four, Amazon is going to

1625
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 1: put ads in your movies and TV shows that you're

1626
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 1: watching on Amazon Prime Video. So yeah, if you have

1627
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 1: a show that you watch that's ad free, that is

1628
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: going to end. And if you want to continue having

1629
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 1: an ad free experience, you can pay an additional two

1630
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: dollars and ninety nine cents a month. Now, if you've

1631
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: been following this show since we started in January, you

1632
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 1: know that we have talked about pretty much every major

1633
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 1: streaming service has raised prices. And this is a real

1634
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: head scratcher because this is a supposed to be included

1635
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: in your Amazon Prime membership as a perk that you

1636
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: pay fifteen dollars a month or one hundred and thirty

1637
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: nine dollars a year for an Amazon Prime membership. Now

1638
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: they're saying, oh, you can continue this nice system that

1639
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 1: you have, but you're gonna have to pay an extra

1640
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:20,719
Speaker 1: three dollars a month. That is not something Prime members

1641
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: want to hear. Now, Amazon knows that Prime members are

1642
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: not just gonna go ahead and cancel their membership when

1643
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: they hear this, and a lot of them are just

1644
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 1: gonna put up with the Prime Video ads. But let's

1645
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 1: be quite honest here. Maybe you found a show that

1646
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 1: you love on Prime Video or a movie. Yeah, there's

1647
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 1: some things that I've found and I'm like, oh, that's

1648
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: cool that that's on there. But it's not like Prime

1649
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: Video is a prime destination for you know, like a

1650
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 1: Netflix or a Max or anything, or a you know,

1651
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 1: Hulu whatever. This is kind of like you give it

1652
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,679
Speaker 1: a fair shake because it's included in your Amazon membership,

1653
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, if I find one good

1654
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 1: thing to watch in there, sure it's included. But three

1655
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: dollars a month for something that is like already on

1656
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: the fringe of like, it's not that great. Amazon, You're

1657
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: putting us in a really tough position here. Now, they

1658
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: do say the base Prime membership price is not going

1659
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: to increase in twenty twenty four, So they're kind of

1660
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 1: throwing people a bone there saying, look, you're not going

1661
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 1: to pay any more for this, But it's one of

1662
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: these things where you can no longer sell Prime Video

1663
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: as being a part or a perk of my Prime

1664
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: membership when you are now putting ads in this just

1665
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 1: like any other place on the Internet where you find

1666
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: stuff with ads, this is no longer a premium perk.

1667
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: This is now just an everyday kind of thing. So

1668
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: that's happening starting in twenty twenty four. If you want

1669
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: ad free, you got to pay an extra three dollars

1670
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: a month. Not fun, all right? Uh, you want to

1671

01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: anyone who is on these government benefits that you know,

1684
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,799
Speaker 1: wants to kind of join the rest of the world

1685
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: and getting stuff delivered the way that so many of

1686
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: us are, so snap EBT payments twenty twenty four for Uber.

1687
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 1: They're also looking to accept healthcare payments like flex spending

1688
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: cards starting in twenty twenty four as well. So if

1689
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: you order something like, you know, over the counter medication,

1690
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: anything that's covered by that, you can use your Flex

1691
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: spending card kind of the way Amazon does it. If

1692
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 1: you don't know that, yes you can. You can put

1693
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 1: your Flex Spending card in Amazon and they will let

1694
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 1: you use it for approved items. I also like, what

1695
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: is it Target and I think CVS they mark your

1696
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 1: receipt if you buy something that's covered under Flex spending,

1697
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: and they'll put at the bottom. So if you do

1698
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: have access to a flex spending account, look at the

1699
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: bottom of your receipt. You can submit your receipt your

1700
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: Flex spending. They'll reimburse you for that. So it's I

1701
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: don't know why every retailer doesn't do that, but it's

1702
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: really handy. And then later on they're also launching an

1703
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: AI assistant, so you can of course everyone's launching AI

1704
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,679
Speaker 1: with everything, but Uber eats is going to have AI

1705
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: so you can ask them for you know, I don't

1706
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:36,679
Speaker 1: know what you'd ask, Hey, what's the best flavor of cupcake?

1707
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. And then they're also adding a sales

1708
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: aisle so you can find the promos and deals in

1709
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: one place. I mean, it's the irony of sales and

1710
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: deals on Uber eats because it is probably the most

1711
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 1: expensive way to eat. But I get it. This is

1712
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: kind of what we do in our world. We get

1713
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: things delivered, but it is a very very expensive way,

1714
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not knocking it, believe me. My wife and

1715
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,600
Speaker 1: I the other night we had like two hours to

1716
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: our cells, so we're like, do we go out for

1717
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 1: dinner or do we just like have something delivered? And

1718
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:06,599
Speaker 1: we just you know, it's like it's expensive to get

1719
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 1: the stuff delivered, but it's actually cheaper than going to

1720
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: eat out because you know, less of a tip. I

1721
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: guess less, you know, I don't know, just less stuff

1722
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:19,600
Speaker 1: you have paid for. Let's go to Vanessa. Vanessa in

1723
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 1: Great Falls. You're on with Rich Great Call Great I

1724
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 1: should say Great Falls, Montana.

1725
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 14: Yes, I years and years ago.

1726
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:31,919
Speaker 5: My first computer ever bought was a gateway.

1727
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 1: Oh nice, I love gateways the cows.

1728
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 14: And ye that started my oldest son on his pet career.

1729
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 14: And now I see that they've someone is making gateways again.

1730
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:50,640
Speaker 14: And I recently bought two and one tablets laptops for

1731
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 14: my grandchildren that are three and five.

1732
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 5: They can get started. Sure, what is the best way

1733
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,600
Speaker 5: to set that up? So they only have access to

1734
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 5: the educational programs that we're putting on there for them.

1735
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: So this is a this is a Microsoft tablet or

1736
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: is it a computer? Microsoft?

1737
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 5: It's it's a two and one. You can fold the

1738
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,759
Speaker 5: keyboard all the way back. It's almost like the surface

1739
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 5: go and you can fold the keyboard back and use

1740
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 5: it as a tablet or use the keyboard as a computer.

1741
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So I've got this set up for my kids,

1742
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: and I believe so on iOS you've got what's called

1743
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: screen time. On Android, you've got what's called family Link.

1744
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: And with Microsoft, I believe it is called family Safety.

1745
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: And so you can set these up as you know,

1746
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 1: you can set them up as a parent or a

1747
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: grandparent to just allow them to do the things that

1748
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 1: you want these kids to do on there. So in

1749
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 1: most cases, and it's been a bit since I set

1750
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: these up for my kids, but I believe that you

1751
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:57,599
Speaker 1: put in kind of like the age of your child

1752
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 1: that's accessing it, and it will we'll kind of, you know,

1753
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:03,759
Speaker 1: it'll set some defaults like here's the stuff will allow,

1754
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: here's the stuff we won't allow. But then you can

1755
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 1: also go further and you could say, let's say they

1756
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: like a certain website like PBS kids or something. You

1757
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 1: can allow that specifically on the list of websites. But

1758
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: it also gives you a rundown of what they search

1759
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: online if you choose to allow that, or you can

1760
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: of course block searches. You can limit the time that

1761
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: they spend on these different apps and things, and of

1762
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: course just make it so they can't install anything new.

1763
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: But that's really what it starts with, is this Microsoft

1764
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: Family Safety is getting that installed, setting it up. You

1765
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 1: may have to create an account for the child, but

1766
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 1: once you get that on there, you know you're in

1767
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:42,640
Speaker 1: control now for the most part, because sometimes it can

1768
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 1: be a little tricky. It can be a little frustrating

1769
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: because once you set this up, there may be something

1770
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 1: the child wants to do on there where they can't

1771
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,799
Speaker 1: easily do it because it has all these restrictions in place,

1772
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 1: but no matter what, if you are setting up. I

1773
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of parents that sort of give

1774
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: up on this stuff because it can be a little

1775
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 1: complicated to get set up, and so they say, you

1776
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 1: know what, never mind, I'll just hand them the tablet

1777
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: or the phone or their laptop. But please do not

1778
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 1: do that, because there is just too much that they

1779
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 1: can happen upon if you don't have these things locked down.

1780
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying they're even looking for stuff, but

1781
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:18,440
Speaker 1: it's a matter of things can be presented to them,

1782
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: or they may search for something and it may just

1783
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,479
Speaker 1: bring up something that you don't want them to see

1784
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: or they shouldn't be seeing at their age. So Family

1785
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 1: Safety is Microsoft's version, and I think that's the place

1786
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,680
Speaker 1: to start with this. Now, by the way, Vanessa, there

1787
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 1: are other means of doing this. You can use a

1788
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 1: third party app like Bark. You can use something like

1789
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 1: a secure app, like a family Safety app like that,

1790
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:44,800
Speaker 1: and that's another way of doing it. I have two levels.

1791
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: I've got at the network level in my home and

1792
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: also on the individual devices. But the fact that you're

1793
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:52,719
Speaker 1: calling me and getting these things set up and wanting

1794
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,760
Speaker 1: to set them up in this way is a good thing.

1795
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:57,600
Speaker 1: So two thumbs up to you, Vanessa. But check it

1796
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: out Microsoft Family Safety. Get them set up Gateway two thousand.

1797
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that was the original name. But the

1798
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 1: spotted boxes the cow boxes. Ugh, that was one of

1799
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: my first computers ever. You are listening to rich on Tech.

1800
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we're talking Mustang mock e ev. Welcome

1801
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking tech.

1802
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 1: If you have any Apple devices, you might have updated

1803
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 1: your software this week with the iOS seventeen and the

1804
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 1: tvOS that was talking about, but there's also the new

1805
01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 1: Watch OS ten. So if you have an Apple Watch,

1806
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 1: I believe four and up, it's got new software available.

1807
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 1: It's got this new They actually changed one of the

1808
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,720
Speaker 1: buttons functionality, which I know a lot of people are

1809
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 1: going to be surprised at. When you press that side button,

1810
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: it no longer brings up your recent apps. It now

1811
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 1: brings up your control center. And there's a reason for

1812
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: that because now when you swipe up from the bottom,

1813
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 1: which used to bring up the control center, that brings

1814
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:56,880
Speaker 1: up something called the smart stack. This is kind of

1815
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 1: like a stack of widgets that contain information. You can

1816
01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 1: customize that by swiping up and then pressing down. It

1817
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 1: took me a minute to figure that out, but that's

1818
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 1: how you can customize what is seen on those widgets,

1819
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,400
Speaker 1: like the weather and things like that, your calendar. There's

1820
01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 1: also five new watch faces. Snoopy is now a watch face,

1821
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 1: so if you like Snoopy, you can switch to a

1822
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:23,560
Speaker 1: Snoopy watch face, Palette, Solar, Analog, Nike Globe, which is

1823
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 1: kind of cool. It counts down the seconds on the screen.

1824
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: And then if you have an Apple Watch Ultra, you

1825
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 1: can use this new Modular Ultra, which is the one

1826
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 1: that I'm using, and it is just like the most

1827
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: information I've ever had on an Apple Watch screen. I've

1828
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight little

1829
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 1: widgets of information. I've got the weather, I've got my

1830
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:48,760
Speaker 1: activity rings, I've got a place to take memos. I've

1831
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 1: got the time, I've got the date, I've got a

1832
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: well being check in, I've got the sunset, I've got

1833
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 1: the UV rays, and i've got the seconds counting down. So,

1834
01:31:57,479 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: needless to say, my wrist is the most stressful thing

1835
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 1: you could ever imagine because there's just so much going

1836
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,839
Speaker 1: on it's like a little mission control right here. So anyway,

1837
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 1: that's only if you have the Apple Watch Ultra. Let's

1838
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 1: go to.

1839
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 4: This.

1840
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:15,040
Speaker 1: John Faulkner is no stranger to the show here. He's

1841
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 1: been on several times. He is with a Clean Fleet Report,

1842
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: and recently he wrote a review of the Mustang mach E.

1843
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 1: This is Ford's EV. He drove one ninety six miles

1844
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 1: across four states. And this is also the car that

1845
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,679
Speaker 1: I've been driving for the past week and a half. John,

1846
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Oh, I gotta bring John up here. John,

1847
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:44,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. There we are. Well, you think

1848
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 1: it's my first time doing this, it is not. I

1849
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:50,880
Speaker 1: swear so you have been driving. You drove the Mustang Machi.

1850
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,320
Speaker 1: I gotta say this thing came out in like twenty twenty.

1851
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,439
Speaker 1: I never got a chance to drive it until now.

1852
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 1: I gotta say. It's right up there with one of

1853
01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 1: my favorite evs, the Tesla. What do you make of

1854
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 1: this car?

1855
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 15: It was the fourth time that I reviewed the Maki,

1856
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 15: and I've never been disappointed in any way with the vehicle.

1857
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:09,960
Speaker 12: It is.

1858
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 15: It's just it's a pleasure to drive. It's not all

1859
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:17,599
Speaker 15: the power you need and a lot of room inside

1860
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 15: and I think it looks great.

1861
01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:23,599
Speaker 1: What kind of range were you getting on this car?

1862
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 15: I was the one that I drove to Moab from

1863
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 15: southern California was the extended batteries and it and it

1864
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 15: had right around three hundred miles of range. And since

1865
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 15: I didn't know the vehicle, the temperature was warm. I

1866
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:46,760
Speaker 15: was doing almost all freeway driving. That means that your

1867
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 15: efficiency is going to be lower than if you were

1868
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 15: in town using regenerative braking and recharging the battery. So

1869
01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:59,520
Speaker 15: we never let it go past about thirty a battery remaining,

1870
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:03,839
Speaker 15: and so we we timed out all of our stops

1871
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 15: based on using the forward Pass app and blew Oval

1872
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,360
Speaker 15: charging network, and so we were able to just it

1873
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:14,400
Speaker 15: just it was absolutely seamless.

1874
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 12: It was so simple to do this.

1875
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 1: So that's an interesting note that I wasn't really aware of.

1876
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 1: So when you drive in town with an EV, you're

1877
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 1: getting more mileage or more like efficiency than driving on

1878
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 1: the freeway or highway.

1879
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:27,839
Speaker 12: Well, every time.

1880
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 15: That you slow, the motors then regenerate kinetic energy back

1881
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,760
Speaker 15: into the battery. So yes, you are you're putting you're

1882
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 15: putting it back into the battery. Electricity, and so it's

1883
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:45,639
Speaker 15: a yeah, it's a good it's called one pedal driving,

1884
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 15: and it's it's have you been.

1885
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:48,639
Speaker 12: Doing that this week?

1886
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:52,799
Speaker 1: Not as much. I don't actually saw that in the options.

1887
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't think I have that turned on. So you're

1888
01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 1: saying you just kind of instead of using the brake,

1889
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 1: you let the car slow down.

1890
01:34:57,720 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 12: That is correct.

1891
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that takes a little getting used. I've got

1892
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,600
Speaker 1: to say this car really has surprised me in so

1893
01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: many ways. Like number one, I feel like, I mean,

1894
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 1: the screen in the middle is this big giant screen.

1895
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:10,760
Speaker 1: Everything looks good on there, like car plate, it's got

1896
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: wireless car plate. It's got this great panoramic sunroof that

1897
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 1: doesn't open, but it's still a nice big glass roof.

1898
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 1: The styling on the car is excellent. The blue Cruise.

1899
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 1: Did you have a chance to try that the autopilot

1900
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 1: kind of situation.

1901
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1902
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 12: Out of our seventy and ninety six miles we drove.

1903
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:32,280
Speaker 15: My wife went with me on the trip. I would

1904
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 15: say that we drove seventy five percent Hansbury and took

1905
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,680
Speaker 15: a little bit getting used to. Now I've driven other

1906
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:46,719
Speaker 15: manufacturers as well as Forward on the Lightning pickup also

1907
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:49,599
Speaker 15: using their system, so I'm familiar with it. But it

1908
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 15: was really it was really a pleasure to drive so

1909
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 15: many miles and not having to be holding on the

1910
01:35:56,479 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 15: steering wheel and you have to build eat your relax

1911
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:02,160
Speaker 15: when when you're driving like that.

1912
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that takes a big paradigm shift because

1913
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,600
Speaker 1: we're so used to you know, obviously you're supposed to

1914
01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 1: always have your hands on the wheel. I was surprised

1915
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 1: that it says hands free, like it tells you when

1916
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:16,240
Speaker 1: it's ready to take over, and so you do not

1917
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:19,040
Speaker 1: Like now there is sort of a camera system there

1918
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 1: that that wants you to look at the road ahead right, Well,

1919
01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 1: it'll warn you if you're not.

1920
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:24,840
Speaker 12: Yes, what will.

1921
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:26,759
Speaker 15: Happen is that if you're if you take your eyes

1922
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 15: off of the road for any like a short amount

1923
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:31,920
Speaker 15: of time, it will it will let you know that

1924
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:33,640
Speaker 15: the hands free.

1925
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:35,800
Speaker 12: System is gone. It turned off.

1926
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:37,640
Speaker 15: But the things you put your eyes back on, it

1927
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:38,880
Speaker 15: pops back on again.

1928
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 12: Now there are.

1929
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 15: Other manufacturers don't have that exact system, but I found

1930
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 15: that once I once I got in the habit of

1931
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:51,599
Speaker 15: making sure that I was always looking forward, then I

1932
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 15: was fine.

1933
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:53,839
Speaker 12: Now I could look over my wife.

1934
01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:55,599
Speaker 15: You know, for a second or two and say something

1935
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:57,680
Speaker 15: to her then then look back out the windshield and

1936
01:36:57,680 --> 01:36:58,679
Speaker 15: that that was all good.

1937
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 12: So, but it's like what they don't want is someone.

1938
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 15: Driving along end and looking down and you know, doing

1939
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 15: text or or reading a book or doing something that

1940
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:10,920
Speaker 15: they shouldn't be doing.

1941
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:13,960
Speaker 12: They want you to keep your eyes on the road.

1942
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:16,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. All the shenanigans we see on the news of people,

1943
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, they I've heard of people. I actually saw

1944
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:22,800
Speaker 1: one time someone on on Twitter, like was boasting that

1945
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 1: they put something on their wheel, like they some sort

1946
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: of like attachment that would that would trick the Tesla

1947
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 1: autopilot system so that they didn't have to keep their

1948
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:31,960
Speaker 1: hands on the wheels. Like, I don't really think you

1949
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 1: should be, uh saying that you did that, because that's

1950
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:38,559
Speaker 1: not something you should really do. Okay, So you went

1951
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:42,720
Speaker 1: across these four different states. Now, tell me about all

1952
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 1: these manufacturers are switching over to the Tesla superchargers. What

1953
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 1: effect do you think that's going to have on this,

1954
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, on just the EV landscape in general. And

1955
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:54,519
Speaker 1: is Forward one of those manufacturers.

1956
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 15: They are one of those manufacturers, and that's going to

1957
01:37:57,439 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 15: be coming.

1958
01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:00,800
Speaker 12: They're going to have the adapter and.

1959
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:02,960
Speaker 15: Right around the end of this year and then they're

1960
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 15: going to go strictly to the to the Tesla charging

1961
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 15: protocol starting in twenty twenty five. What my opinion on

1962
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 15: that is that every place that we charge looks back

1963
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 15: up a little bit.

1964
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 12: I only used the.

1965
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:23,719
Speaker 15: Electrify America charging network on this trip.

1966
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 12: It just made it easier for me. And they are

1967
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 12: part of the with.

1968
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 15: Ford where all you do is you pull up, you

1969
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 15: put in the charger, it recognizes the vehicle, it charges,

1970
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 15: You're done, no payment, no pen, no nothing, You're just done.

1971
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:45,160
Speaker 12: It's a wonderful system. But I stayed with EA on that.

1972
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:50,679
Speaker 15: But every single place that we stopped there were.

1973
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:54,880
Speaker 12: Maybe at the most a dozen EA.

1974
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 15: Chargers, and there was a there was twenty or twenty

1975
01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 15: five or more Tesla chargers. So what it's going to

1976
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 15: do is it's going to open up the possibility of

1977
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:08,879
Speaker 15: being able to find more chargers. And the Tesla chargers

1978
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 15: have a far better reliability record than do wortri By America,

1979
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 15: Charge Point, EVgo and all the other brands.

1980
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 1: So do you think we're at the point where evs

1981
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 1: can do road trips now that are non teslas or

1982
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 1: do you think it's sort of it's still hit or miss.

1983
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:32,559
Speaker 15: Well, you put on the number one issue, and that

1984
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 15: is that in the states that has that have that

1985
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:39,680
Speaker 15: believe that electric electric vehicles as the future of propulsion

1986
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 15: in this country, they are aggressively building out public charging systems.

1987
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:49,680
Speaker 15: California has the most robust in the country. There are

1988
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 15: states in this country that the and again for the

1989
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:54,720
Speaker 15: political reasons, they're not doing it.

1990
01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 12: So therefore.

1991
01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:02,960
Speaker 15: The trip that I took is made possible by the

1992
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 15: fact that there was a lot of electrifying America chargers

1993
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:13,400
Speaker 15: and because in the states that I drove through, California, Arizona, Nevada,

1994
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 15: and Utah, those four states they believe in electricity propelling vehicles.

1995
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 6: Uh.

1996
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:23,440
Speaker 1: And finally, is this up there with your favorite evs

1997
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:27,200
Speaker 1: Oh by far. Yes, it's a fun car and it

1998
01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:29,559
Speaker 1: feels like the best way I can describe it is

1999
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 1: it feels like a gas car. It makes the propulsion sounds.

2000
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 1: It is like I think, I think Ford nailed it,

2001
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 1: and this is pretty much their first EV.

2002
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:41,920
Speaker 12: Right it is, and they they actually right mail was

2003
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 12: a really good word on this.

2004
01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 15: And it's again built in America, so it's qualified for

2005
01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:52,920
Speaker 15: all of the IRA Fedral tax rebate programs. And it's

2006
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 15: and it's when you go buy your Ford dealer, you

2007
01:40:56,760 --> 01:41:00,120
Speaker 15: can actually see inventory. You don't have to go in

2008
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:03,639
Speaker 15: and wait for one to be delivered. So down where

2009
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 15: I live, we have four dealers nearby, and you can

2010
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:09,479
Speaker 15: see that there's several sitting there that are available to purchase,

2011
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 15: which is which is really good for consumers.

2012
01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 1: John Faulkner of Cleanfleet Report dot com check them out.

2013
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 1: He does a lot of reviews on these things. What

2014
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 1: do you test driving next?

2015
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 15: Well, I just got out of a Maserati Grkale Modena.

2016
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 12: Which is a mile hybrid. And I just got out of.

2017
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 15: The range Row or Sport PHV plug in hybrid.

2018
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 12: What a wonderful vehicle.

2019
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,639
Speaker 15: Fifty one miles on pure electricity on this vehicle. Man,

2020
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:45,840
Speaker 15: it's we are rich. We're getting so close that gasoline.

2021
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 15: You know, it's still going to be sold. If you

2022
01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 15: got a fifty five Chevy, you're always going to get

2023
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,960
Speaker 15: gas for it. But we're really getting to that tipping point.

2024
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:56,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. And when I filled up my I have an

2025
01:41:56,600 --> 01:41:59,280
Speaker 1: EV but I filled up my wife's car yesterday. Oh

2026
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: those gas in California are no joke right now, so

2027
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure anytime the prices go up we see more

2028
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 1: interest in these evs. John Faulkner of Cleanfleetreport dot com,

2029
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining me. Appreciate it and go

2030

01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,599
Speaker 1: very impressed. All right, coming up here, we are gonna

2032
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:21,680
Speaker 1: do the feedback segment. We're gonna talk about some of

2033
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 1: the emails you sent me throughout the week, some of

2034
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 1: the feedback on the show, all that fun stuff right

2035
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 1: here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

2036
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology. Microsoft

2037
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: this week announced a bunch of new things at an

2038
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 1: event in New York City. Microsoft had kind of a

2039
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:49,400
Speaker 1: weird thing happen there. The guy who's been in charge

2040
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 1: of their surface devices for a long time, panos Pine,

2041
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:54,680
Speaker 1: he just kind of up and left. He's like, you

2042
01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: know what, I'm out, and there's you know, people are

2043
01:42:57,560 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 1: like speculating why he would do this right before a

2044
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: big event, and of course, you know, the rumors came

2045
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 1: out that maybe they were cutting some budget in his

2046
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:08,600
Speaker 1: department and he just didn't like the direction. And so

2047
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 1: now the rumor is he's going to Amazon. We had

2048
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:15,439
Speaker 1: the chance to interview him. I'm not kidding. This was like, gosh,

2049
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:18,920
Speaker 1: when the Surface first launched, he came to KTLA to

2050
01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 1: bring a Surface and this was a Now we take

2051
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 1: for granted this whole idea of a touchscreen kind of

2052
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: laptop tablet hybrid, but back when he brought it to us,

2053
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 1: it was something we had never seen before and it

2054
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 1: was just like so different with a little, you know,

2055
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 1: angular kind of stand you can pull out from the

2056
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:38,760
Speaker 1: back and only had like one angle back then. Anyway,

2057
01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 1: he did a good thing at Microsoft, and it'll be

2058
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 1: interesting to see what he does at Amazon if that's true. Anyway,

2059
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:47,720
Speaker 1: I know that's inside baseball, but I just thought it

2060
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:52,880
Speaker 1: was interesting. But Microsoft announced a copilot. Their AI assistant

2061
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:55,320
Speaker 1: is now going to be making its way into Windows

2062
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:58,720
Speaker 1: Office and Edge. And this is going to bring all

2063
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:04,200
Speaker 1: kinds of AI experiences to Windows eleven, Microsoft three sixty five,

2064
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:07,559
Speaker 1: and bing An Edge. So there's gonna be a Windows

2065
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: eleven update on September twenty sixth, and that's gonna bring

2066
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty new features, including that copilot.

2067
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:16,280
Speaker 1: So if you see an update, you like the idea

2068
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:18,760
Speaker 1: of AI on your computer, then go ahead and get

2069
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 1: that update. On September twenty sixth, they also announced three

2070
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:26,919
Speaker 1: new surface devices, a surface Laptop Studio two, a Laptop

2071
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: Go three, which a lot of people are saying looks

2072
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,559
Speaker 1: pretty awesome, kind of like the their version of the

2073
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:37,479
Speaker 1: MacBook Air, and then the Surface Hub three so or

2074
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:40,400
Speaker 1: maybe it's the MacBook just Pro. Who knows. I haven't

2075
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: got hands on with these things yet, but hopefully I

2076
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,880
Speaker 1: will soon. So a lot of info from Microsoft. If

2077
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 1: you're looking for a way to charge your iPhone, your

2078
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:51,679
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, and your air pods, check out the high

2079
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:55,640
Speaker 1: Rise three Deluxe had a chance to check this thing out,

2080
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:58,320
Speaker 1: and it's pretty cool because it's the first time that

2081
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 1: you can mag safe charge your iphe but change the

2082
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:04,320
Speaker 1: angle that it's charging at. So this includes the adapter

2083
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:06,679
Speaker 1: and it can let you charge all three of these things. Also,

2084
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:09,920
Speaker 1: you might be looking for a stand because iOS seventeen

2085
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:14,160
Speaker 1: introduces this new standby mode that lets you see information

2086
01:45:14,200 --> 01:45:16,240
Speaker 1: on your iPhone screen when it's not in use and

2087
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 1: it's charging on its side. That's one hundred and fifty bucks,

2088
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:22,360
Speaker 1: but it is a cool device. Twelve South, high Rise

2089
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: three Deluxe and then finally, my Heritage Photo Data. If

2090
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: you have an old picture, you can pop it into

2091
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 1: this AI and it will use clues in the picture

2092
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 1: to try to figure out when that picture was taken,

2093
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:38,960
Speaker 1: anywhere from eighteen sixty to nineteen ninety with accuracy within

2094
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:42,320
Speaker 1: five years. It'll look for people, events, and things in

2095
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 1: the pictures to try to figure out what date that

2096
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:46,720
Speaker 1: picture was taken. This could be a good thing for

2097
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 1: like maybe an old picture of Grandma or grandpa, old

2098
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:51,880
Speaker 1: black and white photo you have around the house. It

2099
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:55,000
Speaker 1: also works with color pictures as well, but kind of neat.

2100
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 1: So again it's called my Heritage Photo Data. I have

2101
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 1: not tried that out personally, but I'd like to. Okay,

2102
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:07,120
Speaker 1: let's get to some of your feedback here. Let's see

2103
01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:09,280
Speaker 1: Bob and San Diego says, I heard your segment on

2104
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 1: KFI today about Bard. I decided to search myself. It

2105
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:14,479
Speaker 1: shows a lot of good information, but also says I

2106
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:18,840
Speaker 1: died last year. There's also some am I laughing? I'm sorry, Bob.

2107
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 1: There's also a second listing that says I volunteer at

2108
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 1: Elboa Park, but then says I also volunteer at to

2109
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:27,160
Speaker 1: other places. I never have I called Google Customer Service

2110
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:28,720
Speaker 1: and I'm on hold with them, and the person I

2111
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,960
Speaker 1: spoke to doesn't have a clue what bard is. He's

2112
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:34,160
Speaker 1: trying to transfer me, but it's totally confused. Bob, be careful.

2113
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 1: You don't have Google on customer service. They don't have

2114
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:39,879
Speaker 1: a phone number like that. So I think you googled

2115
01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 1: Google Customer Service and some random phone number that's trying

2116
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 1: to scam you. You are on the phone with them,

2117
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 1: so please be careful. But yes, what you're talking about

2118
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:52,719
Speaker 1: is called hallucinations. These things literally make up stuff. Adrian says,

2119
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 1: I have passwords saved on Google Chrome and I've lost them.

2120
01:46:56,320 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 1: How can I get him back? Oh? Wait, I went

2121
01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 1: to delete my search history and I had the option

2122
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:05,719
Speaker 1: to delete save passwords checked as well. Ooh, be careful.

2123
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:08,479
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize you could do that save delete

2124
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 1: all your passwords when you delete your search history, So

2125
01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 1: be careful. The place to check to see if you

2126
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:18,240
Speaker 1: have passwords stored on Google is passwords dot Google dot com. Oh.

2127
01:47:18,360 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 1: If you got them all, I guess it's a good

2128
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 1: chance to start over with some fresh new passwords. Paul

2129
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:25,360
Speaker 1: says you recommended voicemap a few weeks ago. We were

2130
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 1: visiting a large US city and gave it a try.

2131
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:30,639
Speaker 1: We loved it. Thanks for the recommendation. Yeah, voicemap lets

2132
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 1: you do audio tours in different cities. Let's see through Instagram.

2133
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't have the person's name, but they said I

2134
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 1: was listening to you last Saturday and heard you struggling

2135
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:44,360
Speaker 1: how to describe the new Apple watch band. FYI, there

2136
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 1: are two parts of Velcrow, the hooks and the loops.

2137
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:49,919
Speaker 1: The fuzzy parts are the loops. Have a great weekend.

2138
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Oh my gosh, so much. Debbie says,

2139
01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 1: I got a new iPhone fourteen. I installed a lens protector,

2140
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 1: thinking it was a thing to do, but the glass shatter.

2141
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:02,960
Speaker 1: Now I can't get it off. If I checked YouTube,

2142
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,120
Speaker 1: it says to soften with the hairdryer, but that hasn't helped.

2143
01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:06,679
Speaker 1: I don't want to scratch up my new phone. Help

2144
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:09,400
Speaker 1: me Rich, Thank you, Debbie. Debbie, I do not recommend

2145
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:12,880
Speaker 1: lens protectors on phones. I recommend a screen protector and

2146
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 1: a case, but lens protectors I think are unnecessary. Apple

2147
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 1: and other phone companies spend a lot of money on

2148
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:21,679
Speaker 1: the optics. Why are you gonna put like a little

2149
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 1: plastic or glass protector between you and like millions of

2150
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 1: dollars of R and D. So just take your chances

2151
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 1: with the lenses. They do shatter from time to time,

2152
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:32,519
Speaker 1: but I think just take care of your phone, have

2153
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:34,880
Speaker 1: a good case, and you should be okay, all right,

2154
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 1: if you can believe it, that's going to do it.
