1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Nothing to say here but a new phone brand. Hollywood

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: goes on strike over AI, among other things, Should you

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: install iOS seventeen Beta plus? Your tech questions answered?

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: What's going on?

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm Rich de Murou and this is Rich on Tech.

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: The show where I talk about the tech stuff I

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: think you should know about and answer your questions about technology.

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: I believe that tech should be easy, helpful, inspiring and fun.

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Phone lines are now open. Yes, that's right. Phone lines

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: are now open at triple A Rich one oh one.

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two, four to

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: one zero one. And no, AI did not take over

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: the show just yet. What you just heard is my

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: personal voice. This is a new feature on iOS seventeen

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: that lets you recreate your own voice using AI. Now

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: it sounds silly, there's a reason for it, but here's

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: what you have to do. It took me about twenty

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: four hours to create that. I had to sit in

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: a room and read one hundred and fifty different phrases.

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: And once I read those one hundred and fifty different phrases,

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: it could then synthesize my voice and it took overnight.

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: It took me about a half an hour to read

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: the phrases, but it took the phone about twenty four

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: hours to actually analyze and recreate my voice. Now, why

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: would you do this? Why would you want your own voice, which,

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't really think sounds like me

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: in a big way. I think it has intonations of me,

28
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: but it's not really rich on tech. But here's the deal.

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: This is a feature that is actually an accessibility feature.

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: So it was created with people in mind that may

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: have some sort of degenerative disease or illness that would

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: cause them to lose their voice over time. And so

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: in this way, instead of using a robot voice to

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: beak to do text to speech later on in life,

35
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: they can actually use their own voice. And so while

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: I was recording this, I was actually getting kind of

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: sad because it made me realize that when we're gone,

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: our voice is gone too, and we're gone. I mean,

39
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: it's just a it's kind of weird. So I don't

40
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: want to bring you down. But that's just one of

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: the new features in iOS seventeen. The beta was released

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: this week, and so a lot of folks are wondering

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: if they should install it. My advice is only if

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: you are super tech savvy or if you have a

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: secondary device, because there could be problems. This is a

46
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: beta software and so that means it's not fully finished.

47
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: People are saying it's good. I'm not running it on

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: my primary device, so I can't tell you if it's perfect,

49
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: but it could be some issues there by the way,

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: maybe this got lost in this whole thing. But phone

51
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: lines are open at triple A rich one oh one

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

53
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: Give me a call. If you have a question about technology,

54
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: you can also email me. Just go to or email

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: hello at rich on tech dot tv. Also new this

56
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: week is the website rich on tech dot tv is

57
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: completely redesigned, reformed. It's all brand new. I finally got

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: the security lock that y'all have been asking me for

59
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 1: because you said, rich your website's insecure. I said, yeah,

60
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: but I don't really collect data, so it's not that

61
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: big of a deal. But now the lock is there.

62
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Rest assured the site is secure. So if you want

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: to look up show notes, if you want to see

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: what I do on TV, it is all there rich

65
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: on tech dot TV. If you look at the top

66
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: of the page, there is a banner for the show notes.

67
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: So if you hear something I mentioned on the show,

68
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: it will appear on those show notes in near real time.

69
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: So that's just one of the ways I'm working for

70
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: you to make life a little bit better. Ah this week,

71
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: let's see what happened. So we went to the movies.

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you all about that, but one

73
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: little pro tip. Okay, my wife had her Apple Watch

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: on and we're at the movies and in the middle

75
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: of a silent portion of the movie, all of a sudden,

76
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: we hear a walkie talkie. It's like, hey, mom, are

77
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: you gonna pick me up? Because there's that walkie talkie

78
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: feature on the Apple Watch and we didn't think to

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: turn that off. And so my wife is like fumbling

80
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: with her watch, and my kid is like, hey mom,

81
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: what are you there? What's happening? And everyone in the audience, which,

82
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: by the way, it's a matine, there was not that

83
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: many people, but we were laughing because she couldn't run

84
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: out of the movie theater quick enough. So let me

85
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: just give you the pro tip of the week. Before

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: you go to the movies. On your Apple Watch, you

87
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: swipe up and there are two little masks it's an

88
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: icon in the quick settings that is your theater mode.

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: Tap that on your watch, turn on theater mode before

90
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: you get into the movies. That will disable the walkie

91
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: talkie and it will also disable the sounds and the screen.

92
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: So once you're done doing that, just hold your hands,

93
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: you take your palm, and you just tap your Apple

94
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: Watch screen with your entire palm and it will turn

95
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: off your screen and it will not turn back on

96
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: until you press a button. And then when you're done

97
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: with the movie, you go back in. You swipe up

98
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: from the bottom of your Apple Watch screen and you

99
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: tap those two little faces and you'll turn that off. Now,

100
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: I did that before I got into the movie theater,

101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: but what I forgot to do was turn it off,

102
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: and so I didn't get messages for the next twenty

103
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: four hours. On my Apple Watch. People were texting me

104
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: left and right, and I didn't see any of them

105
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: because I still had this theater mode. They were trying

106
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: to get a hold of me in the newsroom and

107
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: they couldn't text me, and I just I looked at

108
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: my watch. I said, I don't know, I didn't see. Oh,

109
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: there it is. Oh. I left that on last night

110
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: there you go. So just remember to turn that off

111
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: if you do turn it back on. Ah what else

112
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: this week? Oh, I switched to a new note taking system.

113
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: I am really and I've talked about this on the show.

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to do better about my notes. So

115
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: I've been trying all these different note taking situations and

116
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: ever Note if you've been following that, that was my

117
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: previous note taking preferred application. And they laid off a

118
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people in San Francisco. They moved operations

119
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: to Italy. They actually got purchased by a company that

120
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: I really like. They make another app that I love

121
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: called Splice. It's a video editing app. But now everyone's

122
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: worried about the future of ever Note. So everyone's kind

123
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: of like fleeing from it, myself included, because it's expensive

124
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: and you know, it kind of like has not grown

125
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: over the years. It's done a lot of stuff, but

126
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of clunky. And Notion is this new kind

127
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: of it's like the bell of the what do they

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: call it, the bell of the ball. You know, it's

129
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: like the one that everyone wants right now. And so

130
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: Notion is what I switched to. But it is like

131
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: it does way too much. So now I'm like somehow

132
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: like the executive CEO of note taking that I just

133
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: don't need. Like all I needed was like a notepad,

134
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: and I got like a Ferrari on. You know, it's

135
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: just so much. So but now I'm in it because

136
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I spent the whole day switching to it. So now

137
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't go back because my wife will make fun

138
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: of me. So now I got to stick with it

139
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: because it is I'm in it to win it now.

140
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: So I did switch to Notion. And of course with

141
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: all these apps, the minute you get sort of into them,

142
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, I switched everything over, and all of a sudden,

143
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: I run into a roadblock and it's like, oh, by

144
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: the way, that's like, you know, it's a couple bucks

145
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: a month for that feature. I'm like, oh, it's called freemium.

146
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: So that's that's how all these apps work. Let's see

147
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: what else? So many things this week? Oh, Nothing Phone,

148
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: this is what I've been using. This is a new

149
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: phone that the name is Nothing and it's the Nothing

150
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: Phone too. That's actually the second version. It launches in

151
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: a couple of days. I've been using it for the

152
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, and I got to tell you,

153
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since I've actually fallen in

154
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: love with the device. But I fell in love with

155
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: this device. Why because it is the most it's the

156
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: most iPhone Android I've used. Now, before you say, okay, Rich,

157
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: sure you like it because it's an iPhone, no no, no,

158
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean like it's simple, the design is timeless and beautiful,

159
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: and it's unique. Like it just works really well. The

160
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: camera is good, the form factor is good. It's not

161
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: too big, it's not too small. If this was a

162
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: bowl of porridge, it would be perfect. This is the

163
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: one that Goldilocks would would eat. I don't know if

164
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: do you want to eat a phone? Probably not. But

165
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about this phone is the back of

166
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: the device. So on the back of this device, there's

167
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: a whole bunch it's actually translucent, and there's a whole

168
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: bunch of LED lights and I'm gonna light them up

169
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: right now, just so Bobo can see this. See that.

170
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: So it's these elied You can't see this, but Bobo can.

171
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: And it's these LED lights on the back. They call

172
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: it the glyph interface, And what that does is they

173
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: want you to put your phone down, use it less.

174
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: They want you to put it face down so you

175
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: don't see your notifications. And when you put this phone

176
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: face down, what happens. It goes into this mode of

177
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: do not disturb, and only your most important notifications will

178
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: actually light up the back of the phone. So I

179
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: had one set for my wife, a couple friends, work people,

180
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: and so if they text me or call me, it

181
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: will light up on the back of that phone. Otherwise,

182
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: all those other nonsense notifications that are trying to get

183
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: you into Instagram and Facebook and threads and all that

184
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: other stuff, they won't light up your phone because this

185
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: phone wants you to use it less. We're going to

186
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: talk more about this phone a little bit later. I've

187
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: fallen in love with it, but I've got someone else

188
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: to talk to, Ben Sin of XDA Developers. He is

189
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: going to give me his review of the phone. So

190
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: maybe there's something I'm missing, but I think this phone

191
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: is near perfect. But we'll talk about that a little

192
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: bit later on in the show. We've got a lot

193

00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: features that you can take advantage of on Google Bard.

199
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,679

203
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: inches of Zara Larsen for a personal concert. Yes, it

204
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: was all virtual reality in a headset, but it was

205
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: quite incredible. And then, like I said, Benson will be

215
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,560

216
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: you're kicking off the show. Welcome, Hey, how you doing.

217
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. How about you staying cool?

218
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: I live out in the Zanfernano Badley, so it's hot

219
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 4: out here.

220
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Well it's cold in here, so we'll see. Let's hope

221
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: the uh, the power grade stays up, although it's been

222
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: pretty good lately. I don't want to jinx it. So

223
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: what can I help you with?

224
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 4: Well, so I have an issue just popped up recently

225
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: with my mouth acting kind of odd, like many times

226
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: when I click it, it acts like I double clicked it.

227
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: So for example, I can excel I go to click

228
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 4: on a cell and if you double click it it

229
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: opens up a like an edit function and within the cell.

230
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 4: And so sometimes I'll just go to click on the

231
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: one cell and it'll do that. Or on Chrome, I'll

232
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: click the plus button to open up another window and

233
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: it'll open two and stuff like that. And I'm trying

234
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 4: to figure out how do I I don't know, like

235
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 4: readjust it?

236
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: Did this just start?

237
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: Huh?

238
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: Did this just.

239
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 4: Start just within the last like four to six weeks?

240
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: And what kind of mouse? Is it? A wireless? Is

241
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: it wired? Is it Mac? Is it PC?

242
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: It's wired?

243
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 5: PC?

244
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 4: Windows?

245
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 6: Ten?

246
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: Okay? And have you tried a different mouse?

247
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: Not yet.

248
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so that would be the first thing you want

249
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: to do. So you gotta secure a different mouse to

250
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: see if it's actually the mouse. I assume you probably

251
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: don't have a secondary mouse around the house. I just

252
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: want you to rhyme that.

253
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: But I can probably find one.

254
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean maybe if you have a friend

255
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: or family member that has one. That would be the

256
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: easiest way to troubleshoot this, because that will tell you

257
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: if it's the actual mause or if it's your software

258
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: and you made some sort of change. Right, So, if

259
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: it's not the mouse, or if you don't feel like

260
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: doing that or you can't do that, does the mouse

261
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: feel any different when you click it? Like, does it

262
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: feel like it's gummed up or something?

263
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 4: No? Not really?

264
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so in that case it Now have you tried

265
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: like restarting your computer? I know that sounds basic, but

266
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: that's always a good start. Okay, you've done that, okay,

267
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: And what about looking in your settings in the Windows?

268
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: Did you check those settings to make sure that you

269
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: didn't change anything?

270
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 7: Yeah?

271
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: I did, and I adjusted there's a double click speed, yes,

272
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 4: and I adjusted that and it seemed to help a

273
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: little bit. But it's still doing the same thing.

274
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: And otherwise this was working just fine previously, like you've

275
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: used this for a long time.

276
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's pretty old computer. I mean, that's that

277
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 4: was one of my concerns. Is maybe just the computers

278
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 4: getting old.

279
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Well I don't think. I don't think the mouse would

280
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: double click just because the computer's getting old. Okay, So

281
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: what I would do? I would I think it sounds

282
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: like it's the actual physical mouse. If you're not, you know,

283
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: if you're not seeing this happen in other is it

284
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: only in certain program.

285
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: Oh no, it happens in a variety of different programs.

286
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Okay, and you checked, you sure, you went into your

287
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: Windows settings and checked and made sure that you've got

288
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: all those settings proper. So what about disabling double clicking?

289
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: There's some like accessibility features. Have you tried doing that?

290
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: Uh no, okay, that could.

291
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: Be that could be a way to do it too,

292
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: to see if that will that will help.

293
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I'm not sure there's I'm seeing anything

294
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 4: that says disabled double click.

295
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm going into the settings here and let's see. So

296
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: if we go into the mouse, primary, mouse button, mouse pointer,

297
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: additional mouse settings. So let's see clicklock that might that

298
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: might be something. Let's see, and then you've got your pointer. Yeah,

299
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of like little options in here.

300
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: I would go into there and see if you can,

301
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: if you can switch some of those things and see

302
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: what happens with that. But I would try I would try,

303
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: Rod to get a secondary mouse in troubleshoot that way.

304
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: If it works, then you know that, you know you've

305
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: solved your problem without going through a thousand different settings

306
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out you know, drive yourself nuts

307
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: over this situation, Okay, because that's that's frustrating. Yeah, I

308
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: know that. For me, when I'm on a Windows computer,

309
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: for sure, I disable the uh, the right click situation

310
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: because I feel like I'm always especially with the track pad,

311
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm always like right clicking when I mean to just

312
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: click once. So I'll disable some of the features on there.

313
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: That's one of the first things I always do is

314
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: go in there and do that. So, uh, hopefully you

315
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: get it figured out. Rod. Thanks for the call today.

316
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, and once again, if you have a question,

317
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: the phone line is triple eight rich one on one

318
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four to one

319
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: zero one. Earlier, I mentioned that Hollywood, almost all of

320
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Hollywood is on strike at this point. So you've got

321
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: the SAG Aftra's Union and you've got the Writer's Guild,

322
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: so a lot of this town is no longer working.

323
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: So if your shows start to look really bad on TV,

324
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: you know why, because no one's writing them. They're not

325
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: making anything new, and yeah, we're still here. If you

326
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: notice that the actors are not on TV promoting stuff,

327
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: they're not on the late shows anything, it's because they can't.

328
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: So here is one of the interesting points. And of

329
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: course it all comes down to money and AI. But

330
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: one of these things is that the studios apparently want

331
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: to be able to scan a background actor and then

332
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: use their likeness for any project without consent or compensation.

333
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: SAG says no, no, no, no, no, we're not letting

334
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: them do this, and the union says that they don't

335
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: like this, and then the studio say, no, no, no,

336
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: we meant we only want to scan them once to

337
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: use that in that one movie, and any other use

338
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: we would have to pay them. So the point of

339
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: all of this is that AI is not only a

340
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: huge factor in the writer's strike, with you know writers

341
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: not wanting studios using AI to write scripts and drafts

342
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: and rewrites and all that good stuff. But also with

343
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: the actors union, they don't want to make actors digitally

344
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: or recreate them digitally. I'm telling you this AI stuff

345
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: is really throwing a wrench in things. All right, coming up,

346
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk AI new features on Google Bard. What

347
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: a transition you are listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome

348
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out

349
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: with you, talking technology and joining me now is Cissy Shao,

350
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: vice president and general manager of Assistant and Bard at Google. Cissy,

351
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining me.

352
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me Rich.

353
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Google Bard. This has been around

354
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: for a couple of months. Now, how is that going?

355
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: This is there your AI chatbot assistant?

356
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 6: Well yeah, Well, first of all, let's just talk about

357
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 6: what is Bard. And Bard is Google's experiment that lets

358
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 6: people collaborate with generative AI, and what that means is

359
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 6: you can use Bard to boost your productivity and really

360
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 6: help you solve everyday problems. So, for example, we find

361
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 6: users asking Bard to give them ideas for tailored workout plans,

362
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 6: helping them write their resumes and prep for interviews, or

363
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 6: even like for me, I use Bard to help write

364
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 6: a short story for my son who loves video games.

365
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: And so are people finding different uses for this or

366
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: there are instructions for how to use Bard. How do

367
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: you know what you can do with this?

368
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 6: Well, when you start with bar, Bard will give you

369
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 6: some ideas of what you can do with Bard. But

370
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 6: really we find people find use in three different areas.

371
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 6: One is productivity, and that can be like planning a

372
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 6: trip that you have coming up, or planning your kids

373
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 6: summer camp plans, or coming up with great ideas for

374
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 6: like a meal plan. Then there's creativity, which is the

375
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 6: second piece, which is like I said, you know, writing

376
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 6: stories or even fiction, or coming up with great brainstorming

377
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 6: ideas for something that you're wanting to write. And the

378
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 6: third is really companionship, which is just it's kind of

379
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 6: fun to just talk to an AI sometimes about you know,

380
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 6: anything on the top of your mind.

381
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: So we've heard a lot about these assistants. You are

382
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: adding some new features to Bard. Let's talk about the

383
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: first new feature, which is the power of lens. So

384
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: now you can actually upload a photo to Bard and

385
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: it will do what with that picture.

386
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, people absolutely love lens, so when

387
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 6: lens meets barred, it's really exciting. So I'll give you

388
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 6: a story of how I use lens and Bard. I

389
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 6: bought a new pair of sneakers and I had no

390
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 6: idea what.

391
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: To wear with those sneakers.

392
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 6: So I take my phone out and I use lens

393
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 6: and take a picture, and then I ask Bart, what

394
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 6: can I wear with these shoes? And Bart I correctly

395
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 6: identify that they were a pair of Converse and actually

396
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 6: gave me some ideas, like maybe you can wear like

397
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 6: a smart casual pair of jeans with this pair of shoes.

398
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 6: So that's just one way that people can use lens.

399
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 6: But really the sky's the limit in terms of how

400
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,239
Speaker 6: people want to use pictures and interact with Bard with

401
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 6: their pictures.

402
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: So the next thing it can do is talk to us,

403
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: so you can have Bard read its responses to you

404
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: explain what that's all about.

405
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 6: Well, we're really excited because this is Bard's biggest expansion,

406
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 6: both globally and also in forty languages. And so when

407
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 6: Bard speaks to you, now Bart can actually read its

408
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 6: response in not only in English, but in all those languages.

409
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 6: So an example of how I use this is I

410
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 6: have an eight year old son who really loves video games,

411
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 6: and I thought it'd be fun to write a little

412
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 6: story about his.

413
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: Favorite characters with Bard.

414
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 6: So I asked Bard to write a story, and then

415
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 6: I asked Bart to read the story out loud to

416
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 6: my son, who really thought that was really really fun.

417
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: That's amazing. What is the challenge of getting an AI

418
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: assistant to be able to speak so many different languages.

419
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 6: Well, we have to get things like inflections right in

420
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 6: different languages, and we also need to make sure that

421
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: we're being culturally aware of all these different languages. So

422
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 6: I find it fascinating that, for example, if you ask

423
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 6: Bard for a recipe for eggs, you'll get a different

424
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 6: type of recipe depending on what language you ask.

425
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: Barred forty six different languages in total, including Arabic, Chinese, German, Hindi,

426
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: and Spanish. That's incredible.

427
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're really excited with what people can do with

428
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 6: both language expansion and global expansion. There's another feature that

429
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 6: I want to share, which is something we call pinning

430
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 6: and sharing. So let's say you know you're using Bard

431
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 6: to create a meal plan for the week for yourself.

432
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 6: We find users do a lot of this kind of

433
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 6: planning and work with Bard, and you then go to work,

434
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 6: and then you go to the grocery store and you

435
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 6: need to now buy the recipe ingredients for that meal

436
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 6: plan that you use.

437
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: Bard to create.

438
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 6: Now you can go back to Bard's pin threads and

439
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 6: actually just get that meal plan right up on your

440
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 6: phone when you're at the grocery store. And you can

441
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 6: also then share that same meal plan. Let's say you

442
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 6: want to share on social media, like this is the

443
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 6: new meal plan that I'm following. You can also use

444
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 6: our new sharing feature to share that same conversation that

445
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 6: you had with Bard directly on social media.

446
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: So by remembering some of these things you've asked, it's

447
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: no longer this ephemeral sort of conversation. You can revisit it.

448
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: Do you think that makes for a more personalized experience

449
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: for the user?

450
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 6: Oh, definitely. People are asking us for pinning and saving

451
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 6: and also to be able to bring back personal things

452
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 6: that they're doing with Bard. You know, I talked about

453
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 6: meal plans, but people use Bard to prep for job

454
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 6: interviews and write their resumes. People come up with business

455
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 6: ideas like there's a user who's thinking about how to

456
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 6: rename their new online water bottle store that they're starting

457
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 6: on the internet. I have a friend who's using a

458
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 6: bar to come up with basketball drills for a little

459
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 6: third grade basketball team that he coaches, And so there's

460
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 6: all these different things that people are doing with BARD.

461
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 6: And being able to both remember those conversations and also

462
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 6: share those conversations is something we're really excited about.

463
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Since you're an engineer and a computer scientist, what excites

464
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: you the most about the possibilities of AI like Bard?

465
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 6: I mean, this is going to change the world, right,

466
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 6: This is going to make people way more productive and

467
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 6: help them explore their imaginations and creativity in really unique ways.

468
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 6: I'm excited because I hear from users that they're able

469
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 6: to save time and effort and in working using Bard

470
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 6: to accomplish their goals. So that really excites me. How

471
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 6: this is going to change how people do things.

472
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: Should we feel guilty because sometimes it seems almost too

473
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: easy to use these tools? Should we feel guilty about

474
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: relying on them at all?

475
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 6: I think that, you know, humans have always created technology

476
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 6: and tools to make our lives more fun and interesting

477
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 6: and also easier, and to save time. I mean, think

478
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 6: about the Internet or search or the phone. Right, these

479
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 6: are all innovations that have made life more easy, and

480
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 6: I think of BART and AI as just another generation

481
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 6: of that. Right, Why do in you know, an hour

482
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 6: what you can do in five to ten minutes. But

483
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 6: it's important to remember that BART is a collaborator for you,

484
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 6: like it's an AI to help you get done what

485
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 6: you want to get done. And so really the human

486
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 6: is in control and really is the one that's directing

487
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 6: the AI.

488
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: Now. Of course, we want these AI assistants to be useful,

489
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: but also we want them to be honest, and ethics

490
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: is a big part of that. So how is your

491
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: team working to make Barred ethical?

492
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, we want to take a bold

493
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 6: and responsible approach to AI, and that's why we've been

494
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 6: really measured and careful about how we launch BART. So,

495
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 6: for example, we first launched BART in English because we

496
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 6: hadn't done the responsibility work yet in all those other languages,

497
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 6: measuring you know if Bart is going to say things

498
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 6: that are inappropriate, for example, culturally or in those languages.

499
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 6: And so what we do is really work to train

500
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 6: bar to be responsible and abide by our AI ethics

501
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 6: that we've published.

502
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: To the world, and I would like to know your

503
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: advice for young people out there that want to pursue

504
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: careers along the lines of AI.

505
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, AI is exploding, and even us

506
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 6: at the sort of the edge of that are still

507
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 6: learning what AI can do. And so I would just say,

508
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 6: get really curious about the tools. Go try the tools

509
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 6: for yourself. Ask it questions that you may not expect

510
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 6: it to be able to do. Like so, for example,

511
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 6: for Lens, I took a picture of my bookshelf and

512
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 6: I said, this is my book collection, Like what other books.

513
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 5: Might I like?

514
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 6: And not only did Bard understand that I had a

515
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 6: bunch of business and personal development books on my bookshelf,

516
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 6: it actually gave me some advice on new books that

517
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 6: I might try in the same genre. So just there's

518
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 6: just some incredible like capabilities, and so I would just

519
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 6: say my advice is go try things out, play with it,

520
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 6: learn with it as we're all learning together how AI works.

521
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: Cissi Shao, vice president and general manager of Assistant and

522
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: Bard at Google, Thanks so much for joining me today.

523
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me Rich so excited.

524
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: All right, more Rich on tech coming your way. Give

525
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: me a call if you have a question about technology.

526
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: The phone number is triple eight Rich one oh one.

527
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two four one

528
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: zero one. Welcome back to a Rich on tech. Rich

529
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: DeMuro here hanging out talking technology with you. Let's go

530
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: to Marcie in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Marcie, you're on with Rich.

531
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 8: Hello. I went to say, I really enjoyed the precitation

532
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 8: on Bard just now what you can do and suggestions,

533
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 8: and also it's ethnic concerns and how they develop it

534
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 8: in different language to adapt to that culture. But I

535
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 8: have a concern. I am part of a large number

536
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 8: of people in California that had their data breached. My name,

537
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 8: my birth date, my social Security number, and my ZIP code.

538
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 8: So I called up my people that have my four

539
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 8: oh one K account and talk to that about him.

540
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 8: So they asked me if I you know I had

541
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 8: I wanted a duo often take authentication, and so they

542
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 8: asked me if I wanted voice recognition, and I said no,

543
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 8: So we settled on a password and then I don't know,

544
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 8: maybe that day or the next day, I had another question.

545
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 8: So I called back and I went through my name.

546
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 8: You know, you still have to give your social Security number,

547
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 8: your name and all that stuff. And the person hesitated,

548
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 8: and I said, is anything wrong? And she said, we

549
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 8: don't recognize your voice? Oh wow, So I didn't okay

550
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 8: that number one, number two, it didn't recognize my voice.

551
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 8: And I said, good, I have a password.

552
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: Good. Yeah, I said no to that when I got

553
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: that option. Hey, do you want us to make a

554
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: fingerprint of your voice?

555
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 9: No?

556
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, So I guess my concern is I just want

557
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 8: to say, you know, I have a concern about security issues.

558
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 8: So you know, that's something that's going to have to

559
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 8: you know, just like the actors not letting their image

560
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 8: taken later on and done something with you know, I think.

561
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it to be through. Yeah, And look,

562
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: and all these companies are going to try to do

563
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: what they can because it makes their lives easier, you know,

564
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: if they if they can run this authentication. Supposedly it's

565
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: in our favor, but let's be honest, is it really

566
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, they're protecting their assets,

567
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, their their accounts and all this stuff. And

568
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that the voice recognition stuff is

569
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: probably pretty good. But I'm just not sure I'm ready

570
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: for that just yet. You know, it's one of these

571
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: things where it's it's pretty new, and I'm seeing it

572
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: in more and more companies. When you call up they say, hey,

573
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: do you mind if we use your voice to authenticate you?

574
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: I say no, And I'm not saying you have to

575
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: say no, but I do see the concerns with that.

576
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: Do they share that information? Who stores that now? Earlier

577
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: in the show, you know, I played my AI voice on.

578
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 8: The iPhone's That's why I called right.

579
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: Away, because it's really fascinating that now anyone will be

580
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: able to create one of these. And by the way,

581
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: the iPhone is just one of a thousand tools that

582
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: you can easily find online that will do something similar.

583
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: There are many many AI startups that will help you

584
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: create an AI voice of yourself. So the iPhone is

585
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: just putting it in a lot of people's hands. And

586
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: by the way, I didn't really think it sounded like me.

587
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 8: But either, however, I mean, technology is going to develop.

588
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's day one, right, it's not even day one

589
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: because this isn't even public it's a public beta, So

590
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: iOS seventeen doesn't even happen until the fall. So the

591
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: bottom line, Marcy, I think is is here's what we're learning.

592
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: Number one, you had this data breach. So your information

593
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: is out there and it's probably your social Security number,

594
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: your name, your phone number, your email, user names, passwords,

595
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: all that stuff could be potentially in this breach. Right,

596
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: So how do you protect yourself? What remedies did they

597
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: give you for this breach? Do you know?

598
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 8: I actually the lines are so busy. This is well

599
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 8: the California State.

600
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 10: Teachers, that's a lot of it.

601
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 8: You can imagine how many people.

602
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 5: I don't know.

603
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 8: If somebody my friend call it took her two and

604
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 8: a half hours on hold and they didn't have a

605
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:14,239
Speaker 8: callback number. So I've done some things I don't know.

606
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm looking.

607
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 8: At I'm not sure I want to say this on right.

608
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: Well, they're saying that they want you to put a

609
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: fraud alert on your credit reports. So I'm trying to

610
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: see if they've listed the information. Okay, okay, the files

611
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: contained contained the name and social security numbers, date of birth,

612
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: and zip codes of certain calisters. Is that it is that?

613
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: What it's called Calsters members and beneficiaries?

614
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 11: Oh?

615
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's not even just you, it's also the

616
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: people that you are trying to give your money to

617
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: as a beneficiary. Now their number in their soci security number.

618
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 8: So also CalPERS, which is a California public employees.

619
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so here here's my recommendation with this. I actually

620
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: use Google if you pay Google for something called Google One.

621
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: So if you have like any sort of storage with Google,

622
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: they actually offer a service where they will they will

623
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: they will scan the dark web for your information. So Google,

624
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: of course is always crawling the web every day to

625
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: see what's new. They can have a service where they

626
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: will alert you if your information comes up in their search,

627
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: and they will look for your name, your address, your

628
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: phone number, your email, your social security number, you username

629
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: and password. Wow, I can't speak today, and so I

630
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: have signed up for this service. The only thing, and

631
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: this is similar to something like a LifeLock or any

632
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: of these nor insecurity services, right. Uh, the only thing

633
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: is you have to give them your information so that

634
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: they can look for it exactly. And so that's where

635
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: I have the problem with all you know, whatever, this

636
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: free year of credit monitoring they gave you, you probably

637
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: have to hand over all your personal information to this

638
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: company and so that's where I say no.

639
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 8: And so of the it's one of the three, you know,

640
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 8: it's one of the three credit bureaus that they will

641
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 8: give us a your free and so when my teacher

642
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 8: friends is up, I'm not doing that, yeah.

643
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Because then you have to give Now the credit bureaus

644
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: have your info. But I think the monitoring service is

645
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: probably a separate entity from the standard you know, reporting service.

646
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: So where does that leave us, Marcia? I think what

647
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: you have to do and I think it's just a

648
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: matter of good privacy hygiene. The less you give out

649
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: your information, the more protected you potentially are. So what

650
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: does that mean when someone asks for your social just

651
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: think do I need to give this to that business,

652
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: that person, that company, whatever it is. Same thing with

653
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: email address. We're seeing now this idea of your email

654
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: address is becoming part of your identity as well your

655
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: phone number. It's all part of your identity. So the

656
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: more that you can get this stuff off of these

657
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: databases and off of the web in general, the better

658
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: you're going to be. Now, we can't help it when

659
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: a company has a data breach, there's nothing we can do.

660
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: That information is out there. It will continue to just

661
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: percolate throughout the web. People buy lists, They use this

662
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: information to text us and to scam us and to

663
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: fish us, and so you really have to be vigilant

664
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: about making sure that you keep your information out of there.

665
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to put the link to this Google. If

666
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: you do pay for any storage on Google, you can

667
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: use this Google one service to scan the dark web.

668
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: Now for me personally, let me tell you, oh, actually

669
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: it's not even even for non members. You can do this.

670
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: So Google one members will get let's see one email address,

671
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: so they will scan for your email address and you

672
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: can review the results. But if you're a Google one member,

673
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: you can do your soci security number, your name, your

674
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: data birth, your address, up to ten emails and up

675
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: to ten phone numbers. So if you go to one

676
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: dot Google dot com and under dark Web report, you

677
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: can click try now and then run scan and it

678
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: will show you your information. Of course, I'll put all

679
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: this on the website linked up at richon tech dot tv.

680
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: But that's just one of these services. There are many

681
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: of these services that can help you with this. Try

682
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: to get your information off of these public databases. You

683
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: can do it yourself. You can subscribe to a service

684
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: that will do it. But again, the less you give out,

685
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: the better you're going to be. And I would definitely

686
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: look into using hidden email addresses. So this is another

687
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: thing that people are rapidly sort of understanding, is instead

688
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: of giving out your real email address when you sign

689
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: up for a website, you use what's called a hidden

690
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: or a cloaked email address. And what that means is

691
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: that it's almost like a password. It's a one time

692
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: email address that will only work for that website. So Marci,

693
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. And it's just one of these

694
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: things where we really have to be on guard. So ah, man,

695
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: this stuff is so concerning with the information. It's just

696
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: everywhere I mean you go, I get these these little

697
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: alerts and it's just like, oh, your email address came

698
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: up here, your password came up here. Can reuse the

699
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: same password twice? I will say that again, do not

700
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: reuse the same password twice. I feel like a broken

701
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: record when I say that, because people want to make

702
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: things easy, and you shouldn't make it easy because the

703
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: easier you make it for yourself, the easier you make

704
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: it for hackers. The other thing to know, turn on

705
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: two factor authentication, do it yesterday. Turn it on. I'm

706
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: telling you all right. More on the website rich on

713
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: to the show.

714
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 10: Hi, rich Ria. I've been using an old Windows seven

715
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 10: laptop for the last thirteen years. I'm now replacing it

716
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 10: with a new Windows eleven laptop. But over the last

717
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 10: thirteen years, I've accumulated a lot of software on my

718
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 10: old laptop. I'm trying to figure out if I'm able

719
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 10: to just transfer that software to the new laptop, or

720
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 10: do I need to go out and buy the very

721
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 10: same programs a second time for the new Windows eleven laptop.

722
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: Well, it all depends on the software. So some software

723
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: will let you transfer it over, some will not, and

724
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: it all sort of depends on how they run their

725
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: program So, as you might expect, I switch devices a lot,

726
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: I move things around a lot, and I run into

727
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: some software that allows you to activate on multiple devices.

728
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: Other software that only allows you to activate on one

729
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: device at a time. Some software that maybe wants you

730
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: to rebuy, or it's a subscription based or it's you know,

731
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So it's really going to depend on

732
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: the programs themselves. So what I would do is make

733
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: a list of your programs and sort of investigate each

734
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: program and what their deal is. So let's say it's

735
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to see on my computer here, what

736
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: do I have like something like you know, if it's free.

737
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: Now you said you got this over thirteen years, so

738
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: some of this software may be outdated for the new computer.

739
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: Depends on do they have an updated model, do they

740
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: have an updated system for this? So it really depends

741
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: on the software. And so what I would do is

742
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: I would just go through each software program, make a

743
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: list of all the programs that you have, and just

744
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: go through and go on Google and go to the

745
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: software website and see what it says. So say, you know,

746
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: transfer to a new device, or what your account is.

747
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: Some of these will have an activation code that you'll

748
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: need to use. Other may not. But it really is

749
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: going to depend on the software that you're installing. On

750
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: the new computer. So a lot of the new software

751
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: nowadays is all subscription based, and so they want to

752
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: make you pay to use that software, and they sort

753
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: of decide can you install that on multiple devices? Can

754
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: you install it on just one device? And sometimes it's

755
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: even slick enough where when you install it on one device,

756
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: it stops working on the previous device. So it's really

757
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: going to depend on the software and how they have

758
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: it set up. The other thing is that because you've

759
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: been accumulating the software for so long, there may be

760
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: some products that are available as a website or as

761
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: a web based software that you may be able to

762
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: switch to kind of easily to do that as well.

763
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: So I've seen it all. It just really depends how

764
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: they have things set up. But that's quite The upgrade

765
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: Windows seven to Windows eleven is a big one, and

766
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: so that is going to be a big change for you.

767
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: But that's thirteen years on your last laptop is a

768
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: pretty good run, so I think you've done pretty well.

769
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely make a list of the software that

770
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: you have before you move to the new laptop. It

771
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: sounds like you'll probably have this old laptop with you.

772
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: For myself, what I usually do is I'll take screenshots

773
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: of my system before I switched to the new computer,

774
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: so that way I can see how I had everything

775
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: set up. I can see all the different programs that

776
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 1: I had installed, and then I can easily go through

777
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: and reinstall those programs on the new computer. And these

778
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: days it's gotten pretty good a lot of times. If

779
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: you had some sort of activation code with a program,

780
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: you can go to the website, type in your email address,

781
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: and they'll send you a new activation code. So it

782
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: again just sort of depends on the program that you're

783
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: using how they decide to do that. So good question, Ted.

784
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in today from Fountain Valley. If you

785
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: have a question, give me a call. The phone lines

786
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 1: are open. It's triple eight rich one oh one. That's

787
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

788
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk Amazon Prime Day. Did you just shop on

789
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Day? The data is in July eleventh and twelfth.

790
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Day twenty twenty three, July eleventh, the first

791
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: day has now set a new single sales record for Amazon.

792
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: They've never had a bigger sales day in history. Over

793
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: two days, Prime members bought over three hundred and seventy

794
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: five million items. Now this is the funny part. Amazon

795
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: doesn't say how much was sold. They only say how

796
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: much was saved. Members saved over two point five billion dollars.

797
00:41:54,239 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: Top selling categories included home, fashion, beauty, popular deal, We're

798
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: on AirPods, some sort of like deep cleaner from Bissel,

799
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: and lip gloss. Pretty random there. The most popular thing

800
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: that people bought was a Fire TV stick. That is

801
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: huge because that means that a lot of people are

802
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: using these streaming sticks, which we know, but Fire TV stick,

803
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: because it's so prevalent and because it's so cheap, it

804
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: is becoming the platform to be with streaming. And Amazon

805
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: knows this. They are really secretly building a huge TV platform.

806
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: And what does that mean later on advertising? They can

807
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: control the advertising that people see on that Fire TV stick,

808
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: and that means they've got a lot of bargaining power

809
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 1: with these streaming websites and apps. Let's see, now that's

810
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: Amazon's information. Then we have Adobe and as they get

811
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: receipts from a lot of different people through different methods,

812
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: and so they tallied up the data. They don't specifically

813
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: cite Prime Day. They don't have necessarily like here's what

814
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: people ordered on Amazon, but they know what people ordered

815
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: in general. And total Prime Day spending this year twelve

816
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: point seven billion dollars, up six percent over last year.

817
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: So on July twelfth, Day two spending hit six point

818
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: three billion dollars in one day. People were just pouring

819
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 1: money into Amazon on July twelfth and the eleventh. Let's

820
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: see discounts electronics, apparel, and toys. Of course, twenty percent

821
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: of orders use curb side pickup, which was something that

822
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: sort of started during the pandemic. And have you tried this,

823
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: this curb side pickup. You basically order the stuff in

824
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: the app and then you drive up to target. You

825
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: order anywhere. I mean so many stores have this now,

826
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: where you drive up and someone runs out to your car.

827
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: We did this the other day for Fast Food. Place

828
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: the order on the phone and you drive up and

829
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: you just wait in that spot and they bring your

830
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: food out. And by the way, if you're not downloading

831
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: the app for the retailer that you're shopping at, I

832
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: highly recommend you do it. You know why, because they're

833
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: trying to get people to use their apps, and what

834
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: does that mean? They are putting discounts inside the app

835
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, any story you go to, whether it's Target,

836
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: whether it is Best Buy, whether it is a fast

837
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: food place, download the app. All these quick service restaurants,

838
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: all of the coupons and discounts are inside the apps.

839
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: So you take five extra minutes to download the app

840
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: and place your order that way, I'm telling you it

841
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: will save you money. We went to a sub shop

842
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 1: the other day and you go into the subshop, there's

843
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: no discounts, there's no nothing, and you go inside the app.

844
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: It's by one get on free. So just take the

845
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: extra time to download the app and do this, and

846
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 1: when you sign up again, sign up with unique email address,

847
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: unique password, and save that information in your phone so

848
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: you can use it later. Forty four point eight percent

849
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: of sales came from smartphones, so now we're talking almost

850
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: fifty percent of people are shopping from their phones. And

851
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: that's through not just Amazon Prime, but all shopping, So

852
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: that's pretty wild. Amazon Prime started out as a celebration

853
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: of Amazon's birthday, and now it's become the largest shopping

854
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 1: event of the summer and one of the largest shopping

855
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 1: events of the year. So Amazon literally created a shopping

856
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: event out of nothing. It used to be of Best Reviews.

857
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: Jacob Palmer of Best Reviews last week mentioned that it

858
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: calls it the Turkey Five, the five days between Thanksgiving

859
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: and the you know, the Monday, those five shopping days.

860
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: It used to be just Black Friday. Now it's that

861
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: entire Like as soon as people are done at the

862
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: Turkey dinner, they're like out the door shopping. I don't

863
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: think I've ever shopped on Thanksgiving, but it's happening. Okay,

864
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: coming up, we got lots more to talk about. We

865
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: got a maze VR. Lance Drake and Cook Kim are

866
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: going to join us to talk about a new VR

867
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: concert app. If you have one of these VR headsets,

868
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: you gotta download this app. It is called a maze

869
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: VR and they have their first concert inside there. It

870
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: is a Zara Larson. I experienced it. It was incredible.

871
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean it was a private VR concert just for me,

872
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: but anyone that can experience it, it's really really cool.

873
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: Later on in the show, we've got Ben Sam. I'm

874
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: very excited to have Ben on the show. This guy

875
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: travels more than anyone I know. He's always testing out

876
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: new smartphones and he does a really good job, very

877
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: very fair and he's very worldly as well, so he's

878
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: going to join me to talk about a nothing phone too.

879
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: But of course we have more of your calls at

880
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight

881
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Give me

882
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: a call if you have a question about technology. You

883
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich

884
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you talking technology.

885
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: You can follow me on social media. I am at

886
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. I'm on Instagram, I'm on Facebook, I'm

887
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and yes, I'm still on threads. Last week

888
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: it was yes I'm still on Twitter. Now this week

889
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: it's yes, I'm still on threads. I'll be honest. Threads

890
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: is uh. I don't know is it happening? Are people

891
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: still using it? I'm getting a lot of spam on threads,

892
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: a lot of spam, not too much interaction. So I

893
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: think my theory is that Threads is sort of the

894
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: Instagram crowd, and the Instagram crowd is not necessarily the

895
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: Twitter crowd, and so I don't know where does that

896
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: leave us. It leaves me where. I deleted Threads from

897
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: my home screen and replaced it with Twitter again because

898
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: Twitter feels like it's a Twitter crowd. They're people that

899
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: want information, they are people that want updates. People that

900
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: are on threads are Instagram people. Instagram people want Instagram stories,

901
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: they want Instagram photos and reels. And so it's gotten

902
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,439
Speaker 1: very confusing because I think a lot of people signed

903
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: up because it was easy, but then there are they

904
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: still staying there and I'm not the only one. According

905
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: to some estimates of different reports, let's see, time spent

906
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: on threads has dropped over fifty percent from twenty minutes

907
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: to eight minutes, according to some numbers from sensor Tower

908
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: and similar web. And let's see. A Meta spokesperson told

909
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: Gizmoto in an email, while it's early days, we're excited

910
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: about the initial success, which they were. They were touting

911
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: one hundred million sign ups. But out of those hundred

912
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: million people, who is still actually using it on a

913
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: daily basis? I don't know. And then Elon Musk tweeted out,

914
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: let's see, do I have his tweet somewhere here? Probably

915
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: I thought I did, but I guess I don't. But

916
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: he tweeted out that the usage on Twitter was up,

917
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: like they were reaching new records. So I don't know.

918
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: It's a battle. It's tough. I think at the end

919
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: of the day, it's tough for you, the consumer, because

920
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: nobody wants to sit there and check one hundred different

921
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: apps every day. We want to check a couple And

922
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: it's already tough enough that we've got Facebook and Instagram

923
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: and Twitter and YouTube shorts and TikTok and email and

924
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: sms and dms, and it just goes on and on.

925
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see. I'm not gonna say Threads is dead's

926
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: but you know, we'll see what happens with it. We're

927
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to follow that one. Let's take a question here,

928
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: Let's go to Let's go to Kathy. Kathy in Duarte.

929
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

930
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 5: Hi Hi, Rich.

931
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 12: So my question is, actually it's a statement. First, I

932
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 12: use a Mac and I use the email. I use

933
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 12: yahus on my Mac because I prefer it, and at

934
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 12: least I did it until last night when I went

935
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 12: in to compose a new document rather than the old format.

936
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 12: It puts me inside the little box that says new message.

937
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 12: And I'm trying to and I didn't click anything to

938
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 12: make this happen, and I try to go into help

939
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 12: to figure out how to go back into the old format,

940
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 12: and I'm just not able to figure it out.

941
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: So they redesigned.

942
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,240
Speaker 12: Design. Yeah, when I click on an email, it comes

943
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 12: out it looks exactly like it used to. But when

944
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 12: I click on compose, I get the little box that

945
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 12: I never liked, a little box. So that's why I

946
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 12: didn't use the mail function that came on my map.

947
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 12: I went, I switched right to Yahoo, and now it's

948
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 12: reminding me of the one I switched away from.

949
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, okay. And so when you when you compose

950
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: a message, it's composing it in a little window versus

951
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: a larger window, right.

952
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 12: As opposed to going into that email where you can

953
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 12: click reply, right, it's this new message too, and then

954
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 12: subjects and you can attach documents and whatever on the bottom.

955
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 12: But I prefer to have the old email in case

956
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 12: I'm addressing it to something. And this is like it's

957
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 12: a brand of email, no matter what.

958
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: And so does it look like the entire website has

959
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: changed because I'm looking I'm looking inside, you know, on

960
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: anything about Yahoo mail redesigned, and I don't see anything

961
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 1: for like a year.

962
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 12: That's so interesting because it just happened yesterday. And everything

963
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 12: still looks the same to me. You know, I'm wondering,

964
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 12: maybe I should just, rather than restart, just close down everything.

965
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 12: And then is there a way to go out of

966
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 12: y'allhoo email and then go back into it and maybe

967
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 12: the old Parmatt will come back.

968
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, there's a couple of things you can do.

969
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: Would I would see, look in your settings and see

970
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: if there's a way to revert to classic view. There

971
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: might be Sometimes when these whenever there's a big change

972
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: with any sort of online service, they typically know that

973
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: people do not like change, right. We are creatures of habit.

974
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: We like things to look the way they look, and

975
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: it takes a while for us to adapt to the

976
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: new newness of things. So what I would do is

977
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: look at.

978
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 12: One of the things I did try was I did

979
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 12: click on the three little dots inside of an email. Actually,

980
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 12: when I did it last night, it would say revert

981
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 12: to classics. Yeah, I was supposed to look to look

982
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 12: for where it said revert to classic but it does

983
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 12: not give me that option.

984
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: Oh so it doesn't even give you that option. Well maybe,

985
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: so I'm wondering if what happened was maybe you didn't

986
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: have maybe you were on the long runway of the

987
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: new you know, when I said I looked this up,

988
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: it said it was a year ago that they kind

989
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: of read, you know, changed things. So maybe you were

990
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: on that grace period and that grace period has ended,

991
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: and so now that option to go back to the

992
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: old way is just not there. So the only thing

993
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: I could recommend is perhaps using a different app or

994
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: something to access your email on your computer. I know

995
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: you said you didn't like the included email app on

996
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: your Mac, but there are some other ones. The one

997
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people like is Edison Mail,

998
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: So that's one that people like. There's so many, I mean,

999
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: there's Spark. There's a lot of different email providers for

1000
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: the for the Mac computer. So maybe check out some

1001
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 1: of the just options there and maybe you'll like something

1002
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: that's a little bit different. You know, you can go

1003
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: with Thunderbird. There's Outlook if you want. Actually, you know what,

1004
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: I might recommend this to you since it's free, I

1005
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: would just maybe try micro Soft Outlook and connect your

1006
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: account to that. So just search for Microsoft Outlook on

1007
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: the Mac. You can download that app and it just

1008
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: came out with it it's brand new and it's like

1009
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: a very classic email app and you can log in

1010
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: with your Yahoo account that way and check it there.

1011
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 1: And so hopefully Kathy you'll like that better. But I agree,

1012
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: we don't like change. It's when these things change, people

1013
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: don't like it. No one likes change, but it happens

1014
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: to the best of us. All right. Coming up next,

1015
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a maze VR about how

1016
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: you can experience concerts in virtual reality. And if you

1017
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: have a call or if you have a question, give

1018
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,439
Speaker 1: me a call at Triple eight rich one on one.

1019
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight seven four to two, four to

1020
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: one zero one. Welcome back to rich On Tech. Rich

1021
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: Demiro here with you on the Sony backlot in Culver City, California.

1022
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: This is where they record a lot of music and

1023
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: also you may have heard of a couple of shows

1024
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: that they do here called Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.

1025
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with Lance Drake is the creative director

1026
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: at Amazed VR.

1027
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 3: Lance, thanks so much for joining me.

1028
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 13: Thanks thanks for being here.

1029
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's talk about this concert that I just

1030
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: experienced in virtual reality. I was in a Metaquest headset

1031
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: and Zara Larson was literally inches away from my face,

1032
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: singing and dancing. Explain to me what I just experienced.

1033
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 14: Yeah, so you just got a preview of our Zara

1034
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 14: Larson VR concert experience and this is the launch and

1035
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 14: a preview of our home app, and we represent the

1036
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 14: future of VR concerts.

1037
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 13: We offer the highest.

1038
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 14: Quality and stereo fidelity and immersiveness and it's it's, in

1039
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 14: my opinion, a completely new medium for musicians to explore

1040
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 14: and get closer than ever to their fans.

1041
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 13: So we've heard about VR before.

1042
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of starts and stops with VR,

1043
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: but now that Apple is coming out with a headset,

1044
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: it seems to have legitimatized this technology. Where are we

1045
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: with view?

1046
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 14: You know, I think we're at the beginning of VR,

1047
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 14: and that's what's most exciting is that the possibilities are

1048
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 14: endless and it's kind of a new level of experimentation

1049
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 14: and communication. And I think that's why Apple's entering now,

1050
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 14: is because this represents raising the ceiling for the way

1051
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 14: people communicate and use digital tools. And what's really exciting

1052
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 14: about the Apple launch is that they always bring the

1053
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 14: human touch to it, and I think that's what is.

1054
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 13: Going to be the breaking point is that.

1055
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 14: You know, in the past couple of years, we've been

1056
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 14: given the promise of the metaverse and what is the metaverse?

1057
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 13: And it's not really defined.

1058
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 14: And honestly, that humanity and that human spirit, which we're

1059
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 14: also exploring in our application, I think represents the future

1060
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 14: of VR.

1061
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: So the concert that I experienced was not like your

1062
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: typical concert. It was almost like a solo performance just

1063
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: for the person that's watching. And I'm sitting there and

1064
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 1: Zara Larsen is in some sort of virtual reality set.

1065
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: Explain to me how this is different than a typical

1066
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 1: concert you would go to or just see in VR. Yeah.

1067
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 14: So we shoot on the highest quality stereo cameras and

1068
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 14: we place the artists in the most immercible and dynamic

1069
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 14: CG environments. So unlike other metaverse or other digital experiences

1070
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 14: that typically either are an avatar representation of a person

1071
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 14: or of a musician, this is the artist singing to

1072
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 14: you and performing to you. It's better than a front

1073
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 14: row seat at a concert. But it's also different. It's

1074
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 14: a completely new media. I'm really excited for what we're

1075
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 14: hoping every artist across the world to just roll up

1076
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 14: their sleeves and create this whole new genre of communication

1077
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 14: and creation.

1078
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: You call it a whole new genre, and it really is,

1079
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,919
Speaker 1: because it felt like the most intimate experience you could

1080
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: have with an artist. They're performing just for you. That

1081
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: is different than anything we've seen before. If you're at

1082
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: a concert, they're very far from you. If you are

1083
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: watching a music video, it's kind of a music video.

1084
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: This is almost an entirely new way of experiencing your

1085
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: favorite artist. Do you think people will take a liking

1086
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah?

1087
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 13: Absolutely.

1088
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 14: You know, it's all about super fans now and fandom

1089
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 14: and every fan of their favorite artist, and any fan

1090
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 14: they're detail obsessed. They want to know the wardrobe, they

1091
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 14: want to know the designer. They want to know the

1092
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 14: nails and the makeup artists and the shoes, and they

1093
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 14: want to be immersed in the world and the lore

1094
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 14: and the story of music. And you know, our company

1095
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 14: is detail obsessed. And it's almost like a dream state.

1096
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 14: You're somewhere in between reality and in this highly customized

1097
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 14: bespoke show that's for the fan, and it's also giving

1098
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 14: fans permission to look because you're making direct eye contact

1099
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 14: with your favorite artists.

1100
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 13: And how much is a meet and greet.

1101
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 14: These days to get a handshake backstage for a moment.

1102
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 13: This is for fans to return to forever.

1103
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 14: I think as a kid, if I had the chance

1104
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 14: to see Michael Jackson Moonwalk, if I had a chance

1105
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 14: at the Motown twenty five, or I had the chance

1106
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 14: to see Madonna where the bride like a virgin dress.

1107
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 14: Our company represents a chance for artists to be forever.

1108
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: How do you get the app? And how much does

1109
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: an experience like this cost?

1110
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,919
Speaker 14: So Our May's VR app has launched and it's available

1111
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 14: on Meta headsets and Steam and will soon be coming

1112
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 14: to Peico and all major VR headsets. We're already dev

1113
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 14: toolkitting to on board to the Apple headset when it's

1114
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 14: ready to launch, and we're just really excited to give

1115
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 14: fans access to their favorite artists in ways that were

1116
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 14: unimaginable before.

1117
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Tell me about the world that I was experiencing, because

1118
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: you've got this real life person, but it seemed to

1119
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: be in a virtual world she was in.

1120
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 13: That's part of the dream like state of our shows.

1121
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 14: And I think the differential between what we've created anything

1122
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 14: that's been done before is that artists are performing live

1123
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 14: in a CG environment, and I say it's a dream

1124
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 14: state because it's completely controlled. You're not seeing the rigging

1125
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 14: of the lighting, you're not seeing the scuffs in the floor.

1126
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 14: You're seeing perfection, and it's timed to the music, and

1127
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 14: it's almost this perfect moment. And it's all about that

1128
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 14: moment of connection and complete immersion in this world. And

1129
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 14: you know, we collaborate with artists and we help to

1130
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 14: help them to design these worlds, and we do it

1131
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 14: all in house at the moment, and I think eventually

1132
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 14: the dream is for artists to go off shoot their

1133
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 14: own shows, ingest it into our platform and soon maybe

1134
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 14: one day everyone will be able to create their own

1135
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 14: VR concert and their own worlds to bring to the masses.

1136
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So you're saying someone even at home might

1137
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: potentially be able to do this and release something like this.

1138
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 13: But like I mean, we're looking really far ahead.

1139
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 14: But if you look at the trajectory of two D content,

1140
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 14: the revolution and YouTube was someone like Justin Bieber performing

1141
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 14: in his living room or in his bedroom and knowing

1142
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 14: how to connect to the camera in a way that

1143
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 14: was very distinct and special. You have to imagine once

1144
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 14: vrs to the masses and people know that tool set

1145
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 14: and how to communicate, they'll be able to use what

1146
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 14: we've created to build their own worlds and light their

1147
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 14: own stages.

1148
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 13: And that's the dream.

1149
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Okay, that's really something I didn't think about. This is

1150
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: an entirely new medium that people can create for in

1151
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: their homes. Because if you think about it, you may

1152
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: not even need a green screen in the future. Your

1153
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: AI will be able to just take my form and

1154
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: put it somewhere.

1155
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 14: A lot of the secret sauce of our company is

1156
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 14: actually our AI tool set, and it's a lot of

1157
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 14: auto keying, it's a lot of upresing, it's future proofing

1158
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 14: the technology, and it's also eventually going to allow us

1159
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 14: to shoot in a variety of spaces. And we'll also

1160
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 14: be working on design tools, opening up maybe eventually to

1161
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 14: the public to where someone in their home and then

1162
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 14: create their own Amazed VR concert.

1163
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Let's bring in Cook Kim, head of production at Amazed VR.

1164
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me as well. Nice to meet you too, Cook.

1165
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: What do you want people to know when they watch

1166
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: this because it looks very fluid, it's very seamless, and

1167
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: it looks like you guys have been doing this forever

1168
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: but this is still pretty new.

1169
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think always the challenge is with like VR. Obviously,

1170
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 15: I think there's not much people who worked a long

1171
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 15: time and for your format, the video format is selfish

1172
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 15: is very different, and I think the most challenging part

1173
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 15: is the sterele So having the perfect aligned left and

1174
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 15: right footage will give that vividness and immersiveness and the

1175
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 15: feeling that the actual, real human size person is right

1176
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 15: front of me.

1177
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Are you excited to get this into the eyes of

1178
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: people out there?

1179
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 15: Previously, I think VR was mostly only used for entertainments

1180
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 15: and like gaming, especially gaming heavy. With like Apple announcement,

1181
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 15: I was really excited because now this technology is going

1182
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 15: beyond just gaming. It's just trying to coming closer to

1183
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 15: like regular people's life, using for work and other like

1184
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 15: everything in our lives. So yeah, I'm pretty excited. I'm

1185
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 15: just curious how people will react to our app and

1186
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 15: also I think it'll be a great way for artists

1187
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 15: and fans and I just want their action fast.

1188
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Cook Kim and Lance Drake of Amazed VR, thanks so

1189
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: much for joining me. You gotta check this app out.

1190
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: It is very impressive. If you can get your hands

1191
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,919
Speaker 1: on a VR headset or you have one. It's called

1192
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: a maze VR. You gotta see what I saw. Go

1193
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: to the website to download it. I'll put the link

1194
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: at Richontech dot TV. More rich on Tech coming up

1195

1201
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 4: Yes?

1202
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: Perfect, I love that area. Beautiful.

1203
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 5: It is beautiful. We're very lucky to live here. And

1204
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 5: thank you for being there. That's helpful.

1205
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, thanks for holding. I know you're on

1206
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: for a while. What can I help?

1207
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 5: I was listening to your show and I thought, maybe

1208
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 5: this man can help me with my problem. I have

1209
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 5: a friend who's ninety three, and she's wonderful and she

1210
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 5: loves watching the chor to France and decided she needed

1211
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 5: a TV in her kitchen so she could do that.

1212
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 5: So we got a new TV. We hooked it up,

1213
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 5: Comcast came and got it all wired. Everything's great, except

1214
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 5: when we changed the volume to make it a little louder,

1215
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 5: and she's not hard of hearing. She hears better than

1216
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 5: I do. The little lady in the TV tells us

1217
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 5: it is not a smart TV, it's just a regular

1218
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 5: new or TV. It tells us that, yes, your volume

1219
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 5: is up or whatever, and shows the little bar It

1220
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 5: works both with the Comcast remote and the regular one

1221
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 5: that came with the TV. But the volume doesn't hold there.

1222
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 5: As she watches, it eventually reverts to the level that

1223
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 5: was on before. So we're not sure where the problem

1224
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 5: is and how to fix it.

1225
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: Huh. So as she's listening to the the TV, the

1226
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: volume's just gradually slowly going down.

1227
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 5: Correct?

1228
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: Huh? And so does this happen on every channel or

1229
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: just the Tour de France.

1230
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 5: Good question, because she's only watched so far as far

1231
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 5: as I know, because she lives alone. She's amazing. I'll

1232
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 5: ask her if she has the same problem on other channels.

1233
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Well, I certainly have heard of volume issues on TVs

1234
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: where the volume goes up and down based on commercials

1235
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: or programming, or some people can't hear the dialogue. I mean,

1236
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: those are all very common. But the fact that the

1237
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: volume is going down as she's listening, does it get

1238
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: to a spot where she can no longer hear it?

1239
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 5: No, doesn't go that far. It just sort of reverts

1240
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 5: to a level that's not terrible. I mean, she says,

1241
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 5: it's I'm living with it, but it's kind of weird.

1242
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you set the volume at a certain level,

1243
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: of the volume should stay at that level.

1244
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 5: That's what we thought.

1245
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,479
Speaker 1: Now here's my other question. When she's having this issue happen.

1246
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: Is there anything on the TV that shows that the

1247
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: volume's going down?

1248
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 5: No? No, the bar does not come back. The bar disappears,

1249
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 5: you know, after you first ask it to do whatever.

1250
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Now here's my other question. Is the volume through

1251
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: the box or through the TV?

1252
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 5: So through the TV?

1253
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: Okay, because sometimes these cable boxes will use their own

1254
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: sort of volume and then the TV is secondary. So

1255
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: here's here's my quick sort of solution that you can try.

1256
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Is I understand that you're using the remote that the

1257
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: cable box came with to adjust the volume? Correct?

1258
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 5: Well, we tried both. Oh, you have tried both and

1259
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 5: they do both work.

1260
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,439
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, I was gonna say, because I think what's

1261
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: happening is the cable box sends a signal out to

1262
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: the TV with and so what cable companies have done

1263
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: over the years, because people have sort of issues in

1264
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: general with audio and connecting and making sure that the

1265
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: cable box controls the TV as a universal remote, what

1266
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 1: they've done to get around that is the cable box

1267
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: itself will adjust the volume up and down the signal

1268
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 1: that it's sending to the TV, so that even though

1269
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: it seems like you're adjusting it, you're actually just adjusting

1270
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: the cable box volume. So the volume on the TV

1271
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: is sort of separate. So I would try I know

1272
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: you said you did this, but I would try setting

1273
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 1: the volume on the TV. Does it bring up the

1274
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: same exact menu?

1275
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 5: Uh? Not quite sure how to answer that. You get

1276
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 5: a bar?

1277
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I feel like I'm curious if you get

1278
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: the same bar with both because if you're.

1279
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 5: Good question, I'm not there now, so I can't tell you.

1280
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Because if you get the bar with the cable box

1281
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: or one or the other, then they may be independent

1282
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: volumes from each other. Oh wow, you know what I mean,

1283
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: Like the TV may have Now. I don't think the

1284
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: TV is anything to do with this. I think that

1285
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: the TV is innocent. I think that the TV. The

1286
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: TV is not the culprit here. I do believe it's

1287
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: the cable box and it either has some sort of

1288
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: leveling function that's happening or something is adjusting it. She

1289
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen to have a cat that's stepping on this remote,

1290
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: would she, because that happens in my house. We have

1291
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 1: we've foster kittens and they step on the remote and

1292
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: they change things, and it's really unfortunate. Okay, So what

1293
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: I would do to try to figure this out is

1294
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: I would go into the settings on the cable box

1295
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 1: and look for anything to do with audio, and in

1296
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: specifically anything to do with audio leveling or audio limiting

1297
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: or dialogue, and I would change those settings and see

1298
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 1: because I think that this cable box is somehow switching

1299
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 1: the settings. That's that's my theory.

1300
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,560
Speaker 5: That sounds like a good idea. We tried the settings

1301
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 5: on the TV. I cannot find how to get to

1302
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 5: the settings on the cable box.

1303
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Well, on the cable remote, there should be either a

1304
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: menu There should be there should be a menu button

1305
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 1: on there. You may not, you may not have looked

1306
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: for that, but that's what I would look for and see.

1307
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: I think the cable box is the culprit here. That's

1308
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: my theory.

1309
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 5: Okay, I will try it and she will be very appreciative.

1310
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and call me back and let me know, because

1311
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: I really I'm this is like, this is stumping, Like

1312
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: I want to drive there, like I might have to

1313
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: do a wine tasting trip and just stop.

1314
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 5: We could manage that.

1315
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: I may have to like figure it because now you've

1316
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: really got me thinking about this. So the good news

1317
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 1: is about this show, there's other people listening that may

1318
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: be like, rich this is how we fix this. And

1319
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: so hopefully in the next week in the feedback segment,

1320
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: someone's listening that says, I know how to fix this. Andy,

1321
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: They say, this is what I did. But in the meantime,

1322
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: I think, look in those menu settings for anything with

1323
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 1: audio on the cable box and see what the deal

1324
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: is with that. But Carrie, hopefully we can figure this out.

1325
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, and thank you for your help.

1326
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 5: Ver love yourself.

1327
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Good luck with that one, all right?

1328
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one on one eight eight eight seven

1329
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 1: four to two four to one zero one. Man, that

1330
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: one really really stumped me. Man, I want to know

1331
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: what's causing that TV to go up and down in

1332
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: the volume. Leslie is in Laguna Beach. Leslie, you're on

1333
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 1: with Rich.

1334
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 11: Hey Rich, thanks for taking my call.

1335
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, help you.

1336
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 11: I use the app meant to track my expenses because

1337
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,600
Speaker 11: it coordinates with the bank and everything, and so I

1338
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 11: can have everything in one spot. And the last few

1339
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 11: months my connection with Chase banks. They say that you

1340
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 11: have to reconnect, which has happened before with other banks

1341
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 11: or other accounts. But the difference this time is that

1342
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 11: when it reconnected, it deleted all of my data three

1343
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 11: months before. That's annoying and I looked at up online

1344
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 11: and people are having a problem, but there's no response

1345
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 11: from ment on what's happening or how you can get

1346
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 11: that back.

1347
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: No, and this has been going on forever. Well, I

1348
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: mean you may or may not be able to get

1349
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: it back because Chase only offers a certain amount of

1350
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: data transactions through the service, and so they may they

1351
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: may only and I don't know if it's ninety days

1352
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: or thirty days. But the beauty of Mint is that

1353
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: they keep those transactions for the year, and if you

1354
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: delete them, you go to do your taxes at the

1355
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,639
Speaker 1: end of the year, and it's all gone. So I've

1356
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: used Mint forever. I think that it's been It was

1357
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 1: better when it was independent. Now it's owned by Into It.

1358
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, you know, it's they're trying to

1359
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 1: get you to pay, trying to get you to pay

1360
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: for stuff. So you can't reconnect your Chase because sometimes

1361
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: you just reconnect and the stuff is back in there.

1362
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 11: Now it happens three times now, And what are.

1363
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: You using for this? What are you doing on Mint?

1364
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 8: Like?

1365
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: Are you just trying to see your value or you

1366
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: just are you like your your financials or are you

1367
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 1: trying to actually budget through this?

1368
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 11: No, I'm not budgeting, but I use at the track

1369
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 11: line expenses of the categories. Okay, So at the end

1370
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 11: of each month, I look at the category total and

1371
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 11: I transfer it to an Excel spreadsheet so I can

1372
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 11: compare months to months and year to year.

1373
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 1: Okay. The only thing I can do is offer you

1374
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: some some alternatives to Mint. But I would I would

1375
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: try to delete this log in and maybe change your

1376
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 1: password on Chase and then relink it because it should work.

1377
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: Mint is pretty big and so is Chase, and I

1378
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,560
Speaker 1: think they work pretty well together. If it was a

1379
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 1: different bank, I might say other some other things. You

1380
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:23,759
Speaker 1: can look at every dollar and there's one called personal capital,

1381
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,840

1421
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 9: Can you hear me?

1422
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:52,599
Speaker 1: I hear you great, what's up?

1423
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 9: Well, I'm sitting here charging my chestla, so I'm not

1424
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 9: at my computer.

1425
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Oh nice, you have a basic.

1426
01:15:58,160 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 5: Question for you.

1427
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 9: I'm sure your screeno may have told you, but so

1428
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 9: I don't want to go on and on. But it's

1429
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:08,600
Speaker 9: about my track pad. It's an Apple track pad, or

1430
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 9: I guess you'd call it mouse, okay, And I have

1431
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 9: a desktop computer Apple, and it has always done, for instance, email,

1432
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 9: I click on it and I move it over to

1433
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 9: some fork into I drag it to my folders. But

1434
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 9: all of a sudden it stopped being able to drag,

1435
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 9: and I have to click on it and then pull

1436
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 9: it down to move too. It Also, if I go

1437
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 9: to take an email and forward it, and i'd like

1438
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 9: to take some of the email away, I used to

1439
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 9: be able to blue it out by holding it down

1440
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 9: and delete it, and now I have to take the

1441
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 9: cursor to one side, and each line out.

1442
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 5: I went up.

1443
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 16: I googled.

1444
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 9: I found out you know, what to do about the

1445
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 9: track pad is all fine in the settings as far

1446
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 9: as I'm sure, and I hard closed the computer a

1447
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 9: few times, however that remains okay.

1448
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: So it's just it's it's acting kind of funky like

1449
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: the not the way it used to act.

1450
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just doesn't do the two things I generally

1451
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 9: is it for, which is moving you know, an email

1452
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 9: or something I purchased, But I'd like to put it

1453
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 9: over on the side of online quorterers, and now I

1454
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 9: have to do it. It's kind of like manually.

1455
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah, it's just it's just not working the

1456
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: way it used to work. So a couple of things. Uh,

1457
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 1: you start, You restarted your computer? Yes?

1458
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 13: What?

1459
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's done. You did that. What about this?

1460
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's like an Apple track pad, right, it's

1461
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: like an Apple branded one. Yes, okay. Have you tried

1462
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 1: resetting the actual track pad?

1463
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 14: Well?

1464
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 9: I went up the settings and I looked at how

1465
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 9: it is set, but I don't know how to reset it.

1466
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 9: Is it in that I go to settings? Will it

1467
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 9: say reset your trackpad?

1468
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: There should be a physical button on the track pad.

1469
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: I don't have mine with me here, but there should

1470
01:17:58,479 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: be a physical button.

1471
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 9: Have you on that button that turns it on and

1472
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 9: off light?

1473
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: No?

1474
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 9: I have not done that.

1475
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: Okay, so what I would do is do that next.

1476
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: So press that for five seconds until it turns off,

1477
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: and then press it for five more seconds while you

1478
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: turn it on instead of just pressing it quick to

1479
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: turn it on, hold it, press it for five seconds

1480
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: to turn it on until the light starts flashing, and

1481
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: that will kind of like that'll kind of reset it.

1482
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,839
Speaker 1: So you may have to reconnect it to your computer

1483
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: after that situation and that that hopefully should bring it

1484
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 1: back to the factory settings and everything will be back

1485
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,759
Speaker 1: to the way you remember it. If that doesn't work,

1486
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 1: I would also maybe go into the Bluetooth settings on

1487
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 1: your computer and delete the track pad and reconnect it

1488
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 1: and see if that helps. But those are those are

1489
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: the things that I would do to kind of like

1490
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 1: see if it can come back to life the way

1491
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: that you wanted it. And you said you checked in

1492
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: your settings, because I would go in there and just

1493
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: make sure that nothing got changed because there are a

1494
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: considerable amount of settings when it comes to these track pads.

1495
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: I know, it just seems like a simple point click,

1496
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: drag whatever, but there are a lot of things that

1497
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: these little track pads can do, and so you know,

1498
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: that's that's something that you might want to look into

1499
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: as well, especially the point and click, and you know,

1500
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: sometimes there's there's different little settings in there that may

1501
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 1: the gestures are you know, just that could have changed.

1502
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they did, but I think that this

1503
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: just is a little bit needs a reconnection. Let's put

1504
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:31,679
Speaker 1: it that way.

1505
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 11: Thank you.

1506
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 9: I will definitely try that. I love your program. I

1507
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 9: learn a lot because I'm not techy, but after listening

1508
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 9: to you, I feel like, I, you know, recharge my

1509
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 9: my techi brain.

1510
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: I love it. Well, you're you're recharging your tesla and

1511
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 1: your brain. How do you? How do you like the Tesla?

1512
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:47,839
Speaker 7: I love my titts.

1513
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 5: I've had.

1514
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: This is my third your third test, so you were

1515
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: early on you? Why not? Wow? Okay, Well I love mine.

1516
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: I I think it's great. So except someone someone hit mine.

1517
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 1: If you listen to the show, you know I talked

1518
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:02,639
Speaker 1: about someone hit and run and I had I didn't

1519
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: have my cameras turned on, so I didn't have the

1520
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 1: recording of that hit.

1521
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:11,679
Speaker 9: Well, my first one was the ass and my son,

1522
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 9: being young, he ordered it for me with ludicrous. I

1523
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,679
Speaker 9: never used that portion of the car.

1524
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: Oh you should have. You gotta try that.

1525
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:21,880
Speaker 5: I tried it once.

1526
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the best. Tesla lent me a car

1527
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,560
Speaker 1: one time, and I did the all I did was

1528
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: literally take every friend and family member I knew down

1529
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 1: a street and we just all, like, you know, shot

1530
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: back into the seat. Right.

1531
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I felt like I was a mission impossible

1532
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 9: movie for sure.

1533
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: Exactly. All Right, Linda, thanks so much and keep me

1534
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: posting on if you get this working again.

1535
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 9: Okay, thank you, thanks for taking my call.

1536
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Appreciate it. All right. Uh man, there's

1537
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of issues this weekend. I

1538
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:56,759
Speaker 1: think the heat is bringing out the issues in people.

1539
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: Let me, let me hold on, let me grab this.

1540
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to talk about this. But since

1541
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: Linda was talking about her Tesla, you know, EV's in

1542
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: the sun, in the heat, and we're going through a

1543
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:11,800
Speaker 1: heat wave, not only here in Los Angeles, but in

1544
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 1: a lot of different cities right now. You're ev it'll

1545
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,719
Speaker 1: be okay in the heat, but the heat definitely taxes

1546
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 1: the battery a little bit more. So, here's what you

1547
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 1: need to know. If you've got an electric car, you

1548
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 1: know this heat could affect your battery's health, especially over time.

1549
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: It could decrease the range. The reason is the chemicals

1550
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: in the battery. I don't want to get into the

1551
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:41,679
Speaker 1: technical details. Of that, but basically they speed up and

1552
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: it can it can cause issues with the long term

1553
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: range of the battery. So if your car is in

1554
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: a hot garage for a long time, that can affect it.

1555
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: Cold water or cold weather not so much, doesn't really

1556
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 1: it changes the range just temporarily but not permit. And

1557
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: of course many evs are in places like California, Texas

1558
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: and Florida where the temperatures are the highest. So battery

1559
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 1: tips according to La Times park in this shade. Don't

1560
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 1: fast charge unnecessarily, So if you don't need to fast charge,

1561
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: don't like charge overnight. Slowly keep your car plugged in

1562
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: when you're not using it, Like if you have it

1563
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 1: in the garage, you can plug it in. That will

1564
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: let your car naturally keep the battery cool because it

1565
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 1: has systems in place to do that. And you can

1566
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 1: limit charging to eighty percent. So I know you get

1567
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:39,799
Speaker 1: this car and you want it to go the full range,

1568
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: but I do believe I've been plugging mine in and

1569
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: charging it up to one hundred percent for a couple

1570
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,480
Speaker 1: of years now, and I do think that has definitely

1571
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: taking the range down for sure. So eighty percent that's

1572
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: where you want to be on a daily basis. Sure

1573
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: you can charge full if you're going on a road

1574
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 1: trip or something like that, but on a day to

1575
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: day basis commuting and all that is the magic number. Yeah,

1576
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 1: the heat definitely will have an issue, will have an

1577
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: effect on it. So just know that if you have

1578
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: an EV it'll be fine, but just know that it

1579
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 1: could potentially have some long term issues with your car.

1580
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's take a break. Triple eight

1581
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 1: rich one on one eight eight eight seven four to

1582
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: two four to one zero one is the phone number

1583

Speaker 1: to call. You can also email It's hello at richon

1584
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 1: tech dot tv. And if you haven't checked out the website,

1585
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 1: rich on tech dot tv brand new, cleaned up, ready

1586
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 1: to go. And I'll put the show notes for everything

1587
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: I mentioned here. So do I have time? I have

1588
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: time for one more? I have time for one more

1589
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: quick thing? I'm getting the look from Bobo that I

1590
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 1: got I got like quick quickick. I'll just tell you

1591
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:53,919
Speaker 1: two quick things that are happening inside Google Google Calendar.

1592
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 1: In Google Calendar, they have added a feature that lets

1593
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: you send a link to someone and you can find

1594
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: a mutual time to meet. So it's kind of like

1595
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: this app called calendar Calendly. How do you say that

1596
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: calendly c A L E N D L y calendly

1597
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 1: calendly dot com. A lot of people use this to

1598
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: find a time that works for both people. Now they've

1599
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 1: built that directly into Gmail, so you can find that

1600
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: when you're composing an email, look for a new calendar

1601
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: icon and it will show you the times that you're free,

1602
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 1: or you can share a link to someone and both

1603
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 1: find a time that you can meet. So that's kind

1604
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 1: of cool. And then this is really neat. If you

1605
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 1: have a business that relies on paid appointments, you can

1606
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: actually take paid appointment bookings right through Google Calendar. Now

1607
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 1: all you have to do is connect your Stripe, set

1608
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: a price, and create a booking page, and then customers

1609
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,200
Speaker 1: can go to your little page and pay for the booking.

1610
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 1: So if you have some sort of consulting business or

1611
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: whatever you do where people pay for your time, you

1612
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 1: can now do that directly in Google Calendar. And Google

1613
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 1: Calendar says that they connect to Stripe, they don't process

1614
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 1: the payments themselves. You have to deal with all that

1615
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:13,839
Speaker 1: through Stripe. But you can enable this paid booking feature

1616
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 1: inside Google calendar. So if you want to get charged

1617
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: for your time or charge for your time, there you go.

1618
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 1: I'll put all this on the website rich on tech dot.

1619
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 1: You all right, now we're going to break. Welcome back

1620
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 1: to rich on Tech where we're talking technology. Let's go

1622
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 9: Yep?

1623
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:44,080

01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 7: emails over the past years. My question, I've been a

1636
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:23,520
Speaker 7: mac Apple user since.

1637
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: Day one and day one of what.

1638
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 7: Well nineteen ninety.

01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, so day one, I.

1640
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 7: Don't want to show my I don't want to show

1641
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 7: my age. But I've since been on Mac computers and

1642
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,680
Speaker 7: and of course they're iOS forever.

1643
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, the question is Rich.

1644
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 7: I don't know if you've run across this, but I've

1645
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 7: got a external eight terabyte card drive that I use

1646
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 7: for time Machine and for backups on my MacBook and

1647
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 7: my desk stop and some reason I got this NTFS

1648
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 7: that popped up, and now the external drive says read only,

1649
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 7: and there are like a bunch of sites that want

1650
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 7: to charge for like I guess to fix it, to

1651
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 7: fix it, but then I sent the email to them,

1652
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:31,560
Speaker 7: I said, what happens if I canceled the subscription? And

1653
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 7: they said, well then it won't work. So I don't

1654
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,520
Speaker 7: know if I'm going to have to just get a

1655
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 7: new external drive, move everything over to that one, and

1656
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 7: then reform at this one that says read only.

1657
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 1: Okay, well, what hold on? So what have you used

1658
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:51,759
Speaker 1: this drive on your computer?

1659
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 12: Oh?

1660
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it was my main backup for and

1661
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 7: I can't do it. Won't let me do time Machine,

1662
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 7: it says, they back up sales because it's read only.

1663
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,439
Speaker 1: Now, okay, did you plug this into a different computer.

1664
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 7: No, it just I think this NTFS pop up came

1665
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:16,719
Speaker 7: on and I thought maybe it was my error that

1666
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 7: I tried to get rid of it, and I think

1667
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 7: it installed this Microsoft NTFS that you know obviously is

1668
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:28,800
Speaker 7: not compatible with the Yeah.

1669
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, NTFS is is a format for the drive that

1670
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: the Mac does not like, and so that it's interesting

1671
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 1: that that it switched, though I'm trying to figure out

1672
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: what made it switch.

1673
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:46,600
Speaker 7: I might have, you know, when I think back, and

1674
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 7: it's been I've been trying for like a couple of

1675
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 7: months to you know, go on different sites and do

1676
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 7: different searches to see how to fix it. And some

1677
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 7: people have suggested, well, the best thing to do is

1678
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:03,560
Speaker 7: get another drive and you're going to have to reform

1679
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 7: at it and then it'll be fine. But this is

1680
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 7: a great Sea Day eight terabyte that I've had for

1681
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 7: a couple of years.

1682
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 1: Well okay, okay, Well so here's my so Number one,

1683
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: you could a couple of things you could do with this.

1684
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 1: First off, you could try to repair the permissions. So

1685
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 1: have you tried to do that in finder? Have you

1686
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 1: done that at all? Well?

1687
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 7: I think with the you know, and I thought about

1688
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 7: taking it to and I knew about fixing permissions. Yeah,

1689
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:35,120
Speaker 7: but for some reason they won't.

1690
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably won't do it because it's NTFS. Uh.

1691
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:42,879
Speaker 7: Well, but I think when I talked to someone at Apple,

1692
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 7: when I went to a Genius bar the latest I

1693
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 7: guess iOS is on desktops or such that Mac os,

1694
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,800
Speaker 7: they said they won't let you do like years ago

1695
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 7: used to be able to go in and click permissions.

1696
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,720
Speaker 1: Well, you could still do it, it's on. It's in. If

1697
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,560
Speaker 1: you do a command eye, you can see the permissions

1698
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 1: and just switch it, you know, to read and write.

1699
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 1: But if it's in NTFS is probably not going to

1700
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:10,600
Speaker 1: let you do that. So a couple of things you

1701
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 1: can do here. If this is a drive that you

1702
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 1: want to keep but the information on it is you

1703
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 1: can get rid of it. You can just go into

1704
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 1: disc utility and format it and just make sure you

1705
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:25,600
Speaker 1: format it as a drive for the mac which you

1706
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 1: probably want to use the Mac os extended. You know.

1707
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've got so many files, like three or four

1708
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 7: terabytes of stuff that I need that you need.

1709
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:35,800
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So in that case, I.

1710
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 7: Guess I have to get a new drive.

1711
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 1: I guess, well, I don't. I think you could try

1712
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 1: to repair this with you can try a program. The

1713
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 1: one that I use that I think you could may

1714
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 1: be able to do on here is is clean my Mac.

1715
01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 1: That may do it. The other thing. The other thing

1716
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 1: is you might be able to go into disc utility

1717
01:30:55,800 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: and click first aid and see if that yeah, I

1718
01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:01,880
Speaker 1: won't do it.

1719
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 7: Okay, go the disutilities and I haven't you clean my map, but.

1720
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:09,600
Speaker 1: I would you can see if that can do it.

1721
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:11,719
Speaker 1: But if it's not, this is a tricky one because

1722
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 1: it is format in a different way. I would say, maybe, uh,

1723
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 1: you got to transfer this data if you can't get

1724
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 1: the Mac to read this without losing everything. All right,

1725
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 1: coming up next, we're gonna talk. We're gonna talk nothing

1746

Speaker 1: Okay, and now.

1748
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:32,599

Speaker 16: in Seoul, which I know you know about. Yeah, waiting

1752
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 16: for that.

1753
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm actually going to be there so I will

1754
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:46,840
Speaker 1: see you. I'm going cool, nice, I'm excited. It's a

1755
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: Samsung event, so I'm I'm looking. I've never been so

1756
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 1: to Korea. Okay, let's talk about the nothing phone. This

1757
01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:58,680
Speaker 1: is the nothing phone too. I talked about it a

1758
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:00,800
Speaker 1: little bit earlier in the show. Without was a while ago,

1759
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:02,640
Speaker 1: So let me see if I have any notes on

1760
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: this phone. But I this is a startup that it's

1761
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: formerly a couple of people from one plus went over

1762
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 1: London based startup it's called Nothing. This is their second

1763
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:16,759
Speaker 1: phone and it's the first time it's available in the US,

1764
01:33:17,200 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 1: and it's an Android device six point seven inch screen.

1765
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:25,200
Speaker 1: What is your impression of this phone?

1766
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:30,439
Speaker 16: I like it quite a lot because I like it

1767
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 16: it has a lot of personality, which you can't always

1768
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 16: say about about phones that aren't like instead a flagship level,

1769
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:42,280
Speaker 16: like this is like a little bit below the flagship level.

1770
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:44,799
Speaker 16: It's what I would call like an upper midrange phone,

1771
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:47,640
Speaker 16: and I think that has a lot of personality considering

1772
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 16: it's in that segment.

1773
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what's interesting about it, is like it's it's

1774
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:56,360
Speaker 1: a basic Android device, but to me, it's one of

1775
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,559
Speaker 1: these devices that, like I've had a hard time putting

1776
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 1: it down because I really think that I called it

1777
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 1: the you know, almost like the iPhone of Android. Like

1778
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:07,639
Speaker 1: it's just it's simple, the software is clean, the phone

1779
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,559
Speaker 1: does what you need it to do. The battery last forever.

1780
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 1: The camera's pretty decent. I mean, I think they came

1781
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 1: up with a pretty good device here.

1782
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,800
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that's exactly what our call paid the

1783
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:23,280
Speaker 16: CEO of Nothing. That's what he's aiming for to make

1784
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 16: a kind of stylish and minimalistic device that you know,

1785
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:30,679
Speaker 16: kind of takes on a little bit. That's like Apple's

1786
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:32,760
Speaker 16: m right, like stylish, minimal.

1787
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 1: What about the back of this phone? It's got this

1788
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:39,599
Speaker 1: glyph interface. Do you think some people are saying it's

1789
01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:42,360
Speaker 1: basically these lights that you can program to, you know,

1790
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 1: so you put your phone face down, and if you

1791
01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 1: get an important text or an important voicemail, it will

1792
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 1: light up just those glyphs instead of you know, ringing

1793
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: your whole phone or making you look at the notifications

1794
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: all the time. Do you think this is a gimmick

1795
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 1: or do you actually find some use out of this.

1796
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 16: I lean slightly towards the gimmick part, although I in

1797
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,000
Speaker 16: my review I didn't call it that, But I'm slightly

1798
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 16: leaning in that direction, mostly because I feel like a

1799
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:14,840
Speaker 16: lot of people would just they're completely okay looking at

1800
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:16,559
Speaker 16: the front of the phone, because the whole point of

1801
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 16: the Cliff interface is you're still looking at your phone,

1802
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 16: you're just looking at the back instead of the front.

1803
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:25,000
Speaker 16: And call pay gave this whole speech about how like

1804
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 16: he wants to keep people's screen time down to help

1805
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 16: them more focus in the moment. And I guess some

1806
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:35,640
Speaker 16: people that could be very useful for them, But for me,

1807
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 16: I find that all of them the likes looking very cool.

1808
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:39,640
Speaker 2: I most of the times I just rather look at

1809
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:40,599
Speaker 2: the front of the phone.

1810
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with that, Like, I felt like

1811
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 1: it was odd to place my phone face down. As

1812
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:49,479
Speaker 1: much as I understand the reasoning for that, I feel

1813
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 1: like we've all kind of gotten to this point where, yeah,

1814
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 1: some people are like super you know, they can't stop

1815
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 1: looking at their notifications, but there's also a helpfulness there,

1816
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,920
Speaker 1: so you know, I think that's a maybe just a

1817
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,800
Speaker 1: personal preference for how you want to use it. What

1818
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:10,360
Speaker 1: did you think about the software and the cameras, especially

1819
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 1: because I you know, when I first took a couple

1820
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 1: of pictures, I was like, Wow, this camera is actually

1821
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 1: like I just I just I'm so programmed to be

1822
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:20,240
Speaker 1: disappointed by things and so I but when I started

1823
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:22,640
Speaker 1: taking pictures, like this is actually pretty good.

1824
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:28,360
Speaker 16: Yeah, considering it's a relatively, you know, you know, it's

1825
01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 16: price range. There's actually some debate on whether or not

1826
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 16: this phone is it's priced properly on the internet right now,

1827
01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 16: particularly coming from other regions like not the US. But

1828
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 16: for me, this this phone isn't expensive, and I think

1829
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:46,519
Speaker 16: at this price range of camera is quite good. But

1830
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:49,599
Speaker 16: I'm also not that surprised because it uses the same

1831
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 16: image sensor. The main camera is a lot of one

1832
01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:55,760
Speaker 16: plus phones, and I believe nothing like the software team

1833
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:58,120
Speaker 16: right now, it's like sixty five percent of it. It's

1834
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 16: former one plus engineer, so Calpa has poshed a lot

1835
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 16: as former colleagues to jump over and one plus make

1836
01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 16: pretty good phone. So I think that the camera is

1837
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:12,839
Speaker 16: about what I was expecting, and that's what software.

1838
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 2: I like it a lot.

1839
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 16: It's very clean, as fast as minimal. So one of

1840
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:20,759
Speaker 16: the cool things about the software, or maybe gimmicky things.

1841
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 16: It's all monochrome, at least when you first boot up

1842
01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 16: the phone. You can change it back to color later,

1843
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:29,799
Speaker 16: but it's monochrome and the app icons don't have titles

1844
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 16: on it, so at first I was a little bit

1845
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 16: thrown off. I had a hard time identifying which apps

1846
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 16: I want to tap on. But after a day, I

1847
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,760
Speaker 16: actually have grown to like it, and I kind of

1848
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 16: like how I really like the home screen, how it looks.

1849
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:44,120
Speaker 2: Sometimes I just found myself looking at it.

1850
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's a little odd because their whole mo

1851
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 1: is to get you to use the phone less. So

1852
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 1: they have the monochromatic mode, they have the icons that

1853
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: are sort of black and white and no labels, and

1854
01:37:55,960 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 1: so it makes you kind of much more thoughtful in

1855
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 1: how you use your phone. I don't know, I can't

1856
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 1: get used to that. I tried it. I just couldn't

1857
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:06,160
Speaker 1: get used to it, and it just was one of

1858
01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:09,439
Speaker 1: those things where I had to switch back. But the okay,

1859
01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:11,439
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the downsides of this phone.

1860
01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 1: So number one, there's no optical zoom to speak of,

1861
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 1: so it's you know, it's more like an iPhone I guess,

1862
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, fourteen, it's not like a pro device. There's

1863
01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: no e sim. I thought that the screen was kind

1864
01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 1: of tough to see in bright light, and maybe that's

1865
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 1: just you know, I was at the beach kind of thing,

1866
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 1: like it was really tough to see, like in direct sunlight.

1867
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 1: And then of course the water resistance is pretty low

1868
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 1: for a phone in twenty twenty three. Are those kind

1869
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 1: of the downsides that you saw?

1870
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

1871
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:48,680
Speaker 16: And the lack of a zoom lens in particular, it's

1872
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 16: disappointing to me because I really like using a zoom

1873
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:55,599
Speaker 16: lens on all my smartphones, and I found the ULTRAI

1874
01:38:55,720 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 16: camera to be quite underwhelming in lowla conditions. During the

1875
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:03,639
Speaker 16: day is fine, but at night, the Ultra camera photos

1876
01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:04,839
Speaker 16: are very very soft.

1877
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:09,759
Speaker 1: M hmm. Interesting. Uh, I you know, I it's funny

1878
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 1: because I thought that the the odd thing was that

1879
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:16,000
Speaker 1: even in like pretty brightly lit situations, I was still

1880
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 1: getting like a police hold still for like a couple

1881
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 1: of seconds to take a picture, which I thought was

1882
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:23,839
Speaker 1: kind of odd because like this, you know, shouldn't shouldn't

1883
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:26,439
Speaker 1: really be happening, Like it's it's pretty bright. But overall,

1884
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, would you recommend this device to people?

1885
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 2: I would.

1886
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:37,600
Speaker 16: Certain type of users, I think. The lack of I

1887
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:41,720
Speaker 16: think nothing in the US. The only selling directly to themselves, right,

1888
01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:44,760
Speaker 16: it's not through a carrier. Yeah, so that might that

1889
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 16: might be a tough sell in the US because a

1890
01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 16: lot of American consumers just to get the phones through

1891
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 16: a carrier. So they can get subsidies and discounts and

1892
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:56,000
Speaker 16: all that. So even though I like the phone, and

1893
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 16: I think if you're like an enjoy entusiast, because if

1894
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 16: you're an enjoy dou sy as like a phone geek,

1895
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:05,400
Speaker 16: I definitely would recommend a phone. But like the average person,

1896
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 16: like if like my cousin or my mom passed me,

1897
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:12,679
Speaker 16: they would still be it would still be the safer

1898
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,680
Speaker 16: bed to get an iPhone or get a Samsung Galaxy

1899
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:17,559
Speaker 16: because you can get it to a carrier, so you

1900
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 16: can get it at a cheaper price, and those phones

1901
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:22,920
Speaker 16: probably still have a little bit more proven track record

1902
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 16: of getting software updates down the line.

1903
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:28,040
Speaker 1: And this is a It starts at five hundred and

1904
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars for a one hundred and twenty eight

1905
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 1: gigabyte model. It's available starting July seventeenth directly from the company,

1906
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 1: and it works on AT and T and T Mobile

1907
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:41,840
Speaker 1: here in the US. Now there are Verizon antennas inside,

1908
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:45,640
Speaker 1: but Verizon is really picky about letting certain devices on

1909
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 1: its network that are not verified whatever that means, and

1910
01:40:49,479 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 1: so you may be able to activate this on Verizon,

1911
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 1: but after a couple of days they will shut you down,

1912
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:57,360
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't even bother. But I will say Ben

1913
01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:01,040
Speaker 1: that I really overall think that they did a really

1914
01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:03,080
Speaker 1: nice job with this device. I think that there's like

1915
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 1: a couple of little things where I'm like, ah, it's

1916
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,720
Speaker 1: just maybe not the best device in the world, and

1917
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:09,680
Speaker 1: maybe if the price is cheaper, I would feel a

1918
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: little bit differently, But I still think it's a pretty

1919
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:16,439
Speaker 1: nice little second going from nothing. What since I have

1920
01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 1: you and you test all these phones, what are sort

1921
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 1: of your top three devices that you recommend to people

1922
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:25,960
Speaker 1: these days looking for Android or iOS? I guess so

1923
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 1: this question.

1924
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:30,599
Speaker 16: Is always tricky for me to answer because I basically

1925
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:32,599
Speaker 16: have to look at it from two different scenes. There's

1926
01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 16: like the American phone scene, which is relatively limited compared

1927
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 16: to what Asia and Europe gets because there are a

1928
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:42,000
Speaker 16: lot of Chinese brands that don't sell in the US

1929
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 16: at all, but they are major players in Asia and

1930
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:47,439
Speaker 16: Europe and they make very good phones. So I was

1931
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:49,920
Speaker 16: looking at the US scene, my top three phones would

1932
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 16: have to be I still like the Google Pixel seven

1933
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:55,559
Speaker 16: prol the best. I think the camera is still my

1934
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 16: favorite of the bunch of all the phones in the US. Anyway,

1935
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 16: the second would be the glass z Phone four because

1936
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 16: I am fully on board the foldable phone BANDWRAG and

1937
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:08,559
Speaker 16: I like having a larger screen that fits into my pocket.

1938
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 16: And then number three would probably be the iPhone fourteen

1939
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:13,440
Speaker 16: Pro Max.

1940
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:15,679
Speaker 2: In the US.

1941
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:17,880
Speaker 16: And then if you care to know about my non US,

1942
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,600
Speaker 16: there's like two you know, brands that Americans have never

1943
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 16: heard of, so maybe they're not relevant.

1944
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,720
Speaker 1: Give me give me your top non US because I

1945
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 1: know this is why you travel a lot, so I mean,

1946
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 1: you see these things in other countries that we don't

1947
01:42:29,200 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: have access to here.

1948
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 16: So my overall number one phone would probably be the

1949
01:42:35,320 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 16: shaw Me thirteen Ultra. Shaw Mei is one of the

1950
01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:41,599
Speaker 16: biggest tech companies in China, and the thirteen Ultra phone

1951
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:44,360
Speaker 16: has in my opinion, the best overall cameras were now

1952
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:47,719
Speaker 16: even better than the Pixel seven pros. This main camera

1953
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:50,559
Speaker 16: has a one inch image sensor from Sony. It's the

1954
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:54,679
Speaker 16: same sensor used in like point and shoot Sony camera,

1955
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 16: so it's it's like almost like a real camera.

1956
01:42:57,200 --> 01:43:00,040
Speaker 1: Wow. And are you excited? Do you think that the

1957
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 1: Samsung folds that are coming out in a couple of

1958
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:05,160
Speaker 1: weeks do you think they're gonna be something to rival

1959
01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:06,439
Speaker 1: what we have right now.

1960
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 16: I think they're going to from the leagues i've seen,

1961
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 16: they are going to be improvements, but maybe not as

1962
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:15,720
Speaker 16: big as a lot of people have hoped for. The

1963
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:19,759
Speaker 16: Full five in particular look almost identical to the Full four,

1964
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 16: but the Flip five gets a big upgrade because outside

1965
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:24,400
Speaker 16: screens are gonna be much bigger.

1966
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 2: So that will be fun.

1967
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:28,200
Speaker 1: That's the trend that we're seeing with those flippables. You

1968
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:31,439
Speaker 1: got the flippable and the foldable, Ben Sin, We're gonna

1969
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 1: leave it there. Thanks so much for joining me today.

1970
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:35,920
Speaker 1: I know it's early in Thailand. Thank you. I will

1971
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:38,800
Speaker 1: see you in a couple of weeks in Korea, and

1972
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 1: I've got all the information on the website. If you

1973
01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:45,040
Speaker 1: want to follow Ben on Twitter, it's Ben c Sin

1974
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:48,719
Speaker 1: s I N and check out his review on XDA

1975
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:52,719
Speaker 1: developers of the Nothing Phone two. Ben, thanks for joining

1976
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 1: me today. Thanks for having me on all right, appreciate

1977
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:59,799
Speaker 1: it all right. Coming up next it is the feedback segment.

1978
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,559
Speaker 1: We're going to close out the show with everything you

1979
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 1: had to say this week. You're listening to rich on Tech.

1980
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

1981
01:44:13,439 --> 01:44:18,720
Speaker 1: out with you closing out the show with the feedbag segment. Yeah,

1982
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 1: I said feedbag. It's your feedback, but I called it

1983
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 1: the feedbag one time, and I guess that stuck. Got

1984
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:32,200
Speaker 1: an email from Daniel. He said, hey, Rich, you had

1985
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:34,240
Speaker 1: a caller on that said they couldn't get an NTFS

1986
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:37,080
Speaker 1: drive to work on their Mac. I only use NTFS

1987
01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 1: drives because I can share between my MAX and PCs.

1988
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 1: All you have to do is buy a program called

1989
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 1: NTFS for Mac from Paragon Software. It's not expensive and

1990
01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 1: I think you get a thirty day free trial. There

1991
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,960
Speaker 1: you go. I've used it for yours. Thank you, Daniel

1992
01:44:56,120 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: and Barry. Now you have it. Check it out. Paragon

1993
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 1: Software NTFS for Mac and says it's fully compatible with

1994
01:45:08,280 --> 01:45:14,760
Speaker 1: Apple Silicon M one and M two. So this is

1995
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 1: why I love this show. Listeners contribute to the show.

1996
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 1: It's amazing, all right. Message from Data, Hey Rich, I

1997
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 1: have an Apple iMac that's from twenty thirteen. It's no

1998
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:30,120
Speaker 1: longer getting security updates. I just purchased a new Mac Mini.

1999
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:32,679
Speaker 1: How can I transfer my data from my old Mac

2000
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 1: to the new one. I've not done a backup. I

2001
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:36,840
Speaker 1: really don't have many files on it. Can I just

2002
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 1: put my files on a flask drive and upload to

2003
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:40,879
Speaker 1: the new computer, or is there a way to transfer

2004
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 1: some other way? Thanks? Yeah, you know what I would say.

2005
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 1: If you don't have a lot of files, just put

2006
01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:49,400
Speaker 1: them on a flask drive and move them over. You

2007
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,160
Speaker 1: can do a time machine backup and restore it that way.

2008
01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:54,679
Speaker 1: It'll ask you during setup if you have an old

2009
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:57,360
Speaker 1: Mac that you want to move from personally, because this

2010
01:45:57,439 --> 01:46:00,519
Speaker 1: computer's so old. I would just take what you need,

2011
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 1: put it on the flask drive, set up the computer fresh,

2012
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 1: the new Macmini, and then just drag over the files

2013
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:09,080
Speaker 1: that you have in the flash drive. I think that's

2014
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:10,759
Speaker 1: going to be the easiest way to do it. Data.

2015
01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:14,479
Speaker 1: That way, you get a nice, clean new computer with

2016
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 1: your files on there. Alexander says, thoughts on your opening

2017
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 1: monologue accessibility features. Forgive my cynicism, but you really think

2018
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:27,240
Speaker 1: that's the only reason. I mean, there's probably some other benefits,

2019
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 1: but that will come in later. To play right. Alexander

2020
01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 1: is referring to the voice situation on the new iOS

2021
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 1: seventeen where you can have it say anything you want.

2022
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:44,560
Speaker 1: And this is my it's called personal voice. This is

2023
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 1: what it sounds like, what's going on?

2024
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:49,760
Speaker 3: I'm Rich Demurou and this is riched on Tech, the

2025
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:51,760
Speaker 3: show where I talk about the text off I think

2026
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 3: you should know about and answer your question.

2027
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 1: So that's what it sounds like. Does it sound just

2028
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,040
Speaker 1: like me? I don't know. I mean I could have

2029
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:02,719
Speaker 1: to say anything I want, but I don't think Apple's

2030
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:07,360
Speaker 1: being nefarious. They said. The reason for this is specifically

2031
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:11,919
Speaker 1: they called out als. So if you have that condition

2032
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 1: and you lose your voice over time because of that,

2033
01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 1: this is a way to have your computer speak in

2034
01:47:20,040 --> 01:47:23,679
Speaker 1: your voice when you're talking to people versus a computerized voice.

2035
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 1: But yes, they're will As long as there's AI, computers

2036
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:31,719
Speaker 1: and technology, there will always be nefarious reasons for people

2037
01:47:31,800 --> 01:47:37,040
Speaker 1: using everything. Right, let's see James says, Hey, Rich, any

2038
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:39,759
Speaker 1: suggestions what can I do with this lost air tag

2039
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 1: I left behind when I visited Sedona in February. I'm

2040
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:46,720
Speaker 1: able to activate lost mode, but no one contacted me,

2041
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:52,240
Speaker 1: and now somehow it's moved to Flagstaff. Yeah, James, that's

2042
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:56,760
Speaker 1: a lost cause. Just delete it from your system and

2043
01:47:57,200 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: that's I hope it wasn't attached. And did you just

2044
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,679
Speaker 1: lose the air or did you lose what was attached

2045
01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:05,080
Speaker 1: to it, because usually the AirTags are connected to something,

2046
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 1: but it says you just lost an AirTag. So number

2047
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 1: one thing to do when you lose an AirTag enable

2048
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 1: the lost mode and if you find an air tag,

2049
01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:16,040
Speaker 1: use your phone, make sure the NFC is on and

2050
01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:18,360
Speaker 1: tap the top of the AirTag to the top of

2051
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 1: your phone and it should give you the information. I'll

2052
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:26,720
Speaker 1: bring up a website with a person's information. Let's see here.

2053
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: Laura says, Hey, Rich, I purchased the ring dash cam

2054
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 1: in January after you did a segment on it. It was

2055
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 1: supposed to be delivered by today. Now the delivery date

2056
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:38,920
Speaker 1: pushed to March twentieth, twenty twenty four. Why is there

2057
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:44,760
Speaker 1: such a delay? Don't know. Maybe either they're recalling this

2058
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 1: cam or there's just I think Amazon delivery days change

2059
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot, so hopefully March twenty twenty four. Wow, I

2060
01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 1: think that's a fluke. Hopefully maybe a lot of people

2061
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:57,599
Speaker 1: ordered them during Prime Day and they just pushed it,

2062
01:48:58,040 --> 01:49:01,479
Speaker 1: but hopefully you'll get it earlier. Keep me posted hosted. Uh,

2063
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 1: let's see, Leo says Leo. Leo says, I don't know

2064
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:08,640
Speaker 1: if you're boomerang Email yourself is still working, but mine's not.

2065
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:10,599
Speaker 1: It appears to be gone from both the Apple and

2066
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:13,479
Speaker 1: Android store. Even if you can install it, it does

2067
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: not work. This leaves me with email myself. Yes, I

2068
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:19,960
Speaker 1: switched to email myself as well, Leo, and I don't

2069
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:21,760
Speaker 1: like it as much because I don't like the icon,

2070
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:26,120
Speaker 1: but it does the trick. And finally, David says, is

2071
01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:30,559
Speaker 1: there a way to convert American airlines miles into gift cards? Google?

2072
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:33,120
Speaker 1: Bard says to create an account at points dot com,

2073
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,519
Speaker 1: but I can't find a way. If you have an idea,

2074
01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you can do it. David. I think

2075
01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:41,000
Speaker 1: points dot com is now doing sort of white label stuff.

2076
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,879
Speaker 1: They're not doing their own. They used to exchange points

2077
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 1: in their own way, but apparently they don't do that anymore.

2078
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the show.

2079
01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:52,960
Speaker 1: Check out the notes at richontech dot tv. Next week,

2080
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about new AI enforcement technology

2081
01:49:56,280 --> 01:50:00,599
Speaker 1: cities are using to help buses write tickets to cars

2082
01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:04,040
Speaker 1: blocking their lanes. My name is rich DeMuro. Thanks so

2083
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:06,080
Speaker 1: much for listening. There are so many ways to spend

2084
01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:08,800
Speaker 1: your time. I do appreciate you spending it right here

2085
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:10,320
Speaker 1: with me. I'll talk to you real soon.
