WEBVTT - Camera focus issues on the Samsung S20 Ultra

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>My thoughts on the S twenty focus issues GIF versus

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Jeff might finally be solved. Netflix breaks down and reveals

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:26.080
<v Speaker 1>what people are actually watching. Plus your tech questions answered?

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>What's going on on Rich Damiro And this is Rich

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>on Tech, the podcast where I talk about the tech

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff I think you should know about. Plus I answer

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the questions that you send me. My name is Rich Damiro.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles.

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Joining me is trustee producer Meghan, who is so glad

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>she didn't swap her iPhone for the Samsung Galaxy S

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty just yet.

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 2>No, I almost did.

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>You were like ready to pull the trigger on that one,

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>weren't you.

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 2>That is a funny, funny joke.

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, Meghan is one hundred percent iPhone. In fact, she

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>judges anyone who does not have an iPhone.

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>That's not true. Little just a little judgment.

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>If you went out on a date with someone and

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 1>they pulled out not just an android phone, no, an

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Android with a crack screen. What would you do? Oh? Like,

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I imagine all your friends have iPhones.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Imagine all your friends have iPhones too.

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Actually they all do so except my brother okay, but yeah,

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>most of the other everyone. I do have a friend

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't and it's you know, and I don't judge.

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you think it's an l a thing.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I think it's definitely. It's a it's a pressure thing.

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a simplicity thing. Yeah, it's a you know. But

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.759
<v Speaker 1>there are people who like Android and there's no problem

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>with it. Yeah.

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any anything really against it. I don't

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>think I would like not date someone just because they

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>have an Android, but it would be so mean.

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>But like, just imagine texting them would be kind of

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>because you know, I messages, I message and you're like, uh,

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess you could use Telegram, which is

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>what we use here at the tech.

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 2>For Oh, that's true. I'll be like, hey, I know

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>this is date number one, but do you mind if

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 2>we text on Telegram and then.

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>You can easily block them, which would be you know,

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.239
<v Speaker 1>because it's so easy to block people.

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, true.

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's uh, let's start with the speaking of Samsung. Let's

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>talk with the sam Let's talk about the Galaxy S twenty.

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I've been using this phone for about a week. Remember

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>last podcast, I said that I put my sim card

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>in the phone. Yeah, well my SIM card is out

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's back in my iPhone.

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>As you could not you couldn't do the Samsung Life I.

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, number one, Okay, notwithstand. I'll get into like the

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>issues with the phone first or I guess second. But

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the first thing is everything in my life had to change,

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>everything from the just the way I get stuff from

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>my computer or to the phone, from the phone to

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the computer. I message, which was like I wanted to

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>text two friends and know we're on this little group

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I message, and I couldn't text them because I was like, oh,

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to start a new group with them

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that's now going to show up in green. So that

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>was a problem. The earphones, Like I just switched to

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the Samsung Galaxy Buds, but then when I used my computer,

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I switched back to the AirPods because I wanted I

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to have to pair up something again. Apple

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>watched I already mentioned that, Like, so okay, they're not lazy,

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>but they're thing there. I understand why people stay in

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>their lane because you have all this stuff set up

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and you don't want to change. And yes, you could change,

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and you can swap everything out, but a it's very costly.

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Like for my watch, for instance, I was sitting there going,

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>what am I going to do for a watch? Because

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I use my Apple Watch and that required me. I

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>was at cost going I'm like, well, maybe I buy

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>this Samsung Galaxy Watch, or maybe I get a Fitbit.

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>And again I gave away my last fitbit to a friend,

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>so I should have kept it because maybe that would

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>have made life easier. But anyway, I see all these

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>little things. Then I was trying to research different programs

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to use because now the programs I used on my

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>iPhone just aren't available on the androids. A lot of

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>little things, and I see how people get. I know,

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>they call it like lock in, but it's real and

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make you lazy or bad or not trying

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to try something new. It's just you know what works

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and you kind of stick to it.

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Now, with that all said, I love the Samsung Galaxy

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>S twenty Ultra a lot. There are so many things

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>to love about this device. The software is fast, it's smooth,

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the screen is just unbelievable. I bought this little case

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>for it from Spegan, which is now my favorite case.

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I bought it from my iPhone as well.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh cool, it's arriving today. It's called the Spegan Ultra

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Hybrid S. It's a nice case and it's super simple.

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>It's only like fifteen bucks on Amazon. But it has

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a kickstand, so I was able to watch movies on

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 1>the plane. Yeah, it's so cool. So you just set

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>your phone up, Like, why doesn't every case have this? Yeah,

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 1>so I just watched movies on the plane on with

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>my phone like sitting up like you know, on its side. Okay,

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>other things. Everything about it is really amazing, everything like

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the quality of the software, the speed, the just you know,

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>unlocking is a little bit tougher than the iPhone with

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 1>a face ID, right because you have to use your

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>fingerprint or you can set up their version of face ID,

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't work as well. Okay, you know some

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>of the software isn't available, but I love what you

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>can do on Android, so I kind of get over

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>that because I love having like shortcuts on my screen,

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>and I love having the universal search box for Google

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>right at the bottom of my screen. I love having

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>my Samsung Pay which works with any basically anywhere, even

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>if they don't take Apple pay or Google Pay. It

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>still works.

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Really.

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>It emulates the magnetic strip on a credit card. Oh

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>so kind of it kind of I don't know what

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>you call emanates it out from your phone, like if

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.040
<v Speaker 1>you just hold it near they're like, oh, sorry, you

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>don't take Apple Play. You're like, watch this and it works.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not what you think.

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>So that's cool. Now I'm describing a lot of things

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>that are available just on Android, but the physical like

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the size of the phone. I'm fine with the feel

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>of the phone just everything. Like the quality of the

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 1>device is very high. Now with that said, let me

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>get to the biggest problem I found with this phone

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.359
<v Speaker 1>because I went to the New York Toy Fair in

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 1>New York City and I shot my entire story on

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the video camera on this device.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe you did that.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>And I had my simcard in here for my texts

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.559
<v Speaker 1>and everything. So I was doing everything on this phone,

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>making calls, receiving calls, everything, setting my alarm at night.

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I was a little bit concerned because it's been a

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>long time since I use bedtime on the iPhone, and

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>it's super simple to set my alarm. I just scroll

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>a little dial to the time I want to wake up,

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>it gently arises me to wake This was a little

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>different because it's like, okay, now I'm setting a real alarm.

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's going to go off. So

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I tested a bunch of times. Anyway, all those things,

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 1>one thing, Okay, my biggest issue with the Samsung is

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>when I get a notification on the screen. So here's

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a notification, Megan said, Okay, sales is over where we're

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>doing the podcast, you said to me, and there's a

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>little reply thing I can hit right here, right well.

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>On the iPhone, when you hit that reply or touch

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the notification, it immediately brings you into that app from

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the lock screen because it's looked at your face or

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>your fingerprint is on there, your thumb is on the

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>fingerprint reader, and now it just brings you right in there.

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>On Android, that doesn't happen on this device, and so

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you have to kind of tap it once and then

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>it's really complicated to explain, but you have to tap

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it once and then it says use biometrics. Okay, so

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I put my face and now it says swiped it open,

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and I swiped open, and it still didn't bring me

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>in there. So my point is I can much faster

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>reply much faster to notifications on the iPhone for some reason,

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's a little thing, but over the day, when

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you're doing one hundred and fifty notifications that you're replying to,

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it all adds up to a lot.

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Other than that, I think that the Android platform is

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>totally fine now when it comes to content creation. Here's

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>what I noticed, and a lot of other reviewers are

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>noticing this as well, But I noticed my phone was

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>not focusing. And I've noticed that some of the pictures

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>in general on the Samsung device are soft, which means

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.559
<v Speaker 1>when you take a picture, it just looks kind of weird.

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>You're like, wait, was that in focus? And especially when

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you're doing video, if you put the video camera up

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to something, it's just not in focus. So when I

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>was doing all my interviews and everything for the Toy Fair,

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.839
<v Speaker 1>I kept having to manually tap the screen to focus.

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Now on iPhone that feature is available, I rarely, if ever,

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>have to use it.

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 2>It like auto focuses on what you're what you're focusing.

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>On, even when you move your phone like quickly, and

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>on the Samsung I did not notice that at all.

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>It's really bad.

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Like did you notice that last year with the Samsung.

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>No, I've never noticed that. In fact, I specifically remember

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>when I used to have a Samsung device and this

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>guy I was on a shoot out in like Virginia.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>He was like, why do you use Samsung? And I

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, because it's so much better than the

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>iPhone And he's like really, And I'm like, well, take

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.199
<v Speaker 1>a look at this, and I showed him my hand

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and I put my phone, my Samsung, in front of

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it and showed him how quickly it focused. And I

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, and look how clear that is and how

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>focused it is. Now I move it somewhere else, and

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 1>he's like, oh wow, that's great. And I was like, now,

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>look at the iPhone. It didn't focus as fast. iPhones

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>come a long way since then, Samsung this one. I

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 1>feel like they took a step back.

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.079
<v Speaker 2>So then there must be a glitch.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>There might be a glitch. According to the Verge, there

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a software update to improve the camera,

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>but they would not acknowledge any specific problem. And here's

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the thing. My idea is that they have had this

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>device in production now, like in development now for a year.

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's say, you don't have a device in production for

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 1>a year and nobody notices this weird little glitch until

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>you give it to people and all of a sudden

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh, we'll fix that. Rarely happens. Yeah, you

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.079
<v Speaker 1>can't just fix something like nobody noticed this, nobody used

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the video camera.

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>It's the same with sorry, but the foldable screen last year,

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>like everyone was like peeling the screen off.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes Samsung can't catch break. So at this point

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I cannot recommend the Samsung S twenty Ultra. I don't

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>know if this problem is on the other two, the

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>two leading up to the phone, the S twenty and

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the S twenty plus, but the Ultra, I will say

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of a deal breaker. Like I said, I

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>had my simcard in this device, and I found myself

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>being like I can't wait to get back to the

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 1>iPhone now. Hopefully they fix this. But it's not just

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>me that's seeing this. All the reviewers are saying the

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 1>same thing, right, and it's clearly an issue. And I

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know how they're going to spin this or try

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to figure this out. But if I bought this phone

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>for fourteen hundred dollars and I saw the way it

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>was focusing at that toy fair.

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 2>That's insane.

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I'd be really angry. And by the end of the

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>toy fair, I ended up using my iPhone to to

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>shoot a couple more videos and I was like, Okay,

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not crazy. This thing is amazingly clear and focused

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>on everything.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 2>So I need the new iPhone anyway.

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>So there you have it. That's my spiel. I will

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>have my Yeah. That's that's it for now. So cool.

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So this first message comes from Jeanette. She said,

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to tell you what an honor it

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 2>was to meet you in person at the Bourbank Airport.

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>You were so nice, just like you are on TV.

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Kat A five is the only news I watched. Thank

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>you for keeping us informed. We learned so much from you.

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Sorry you missed your meeting and SF have a nice day.

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>That is Jeannette, Jeanette, Well, thank you, Jeanette. This is

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a funny thing about being on TV is that you're

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>always being watched and judged silently no matter where you are.

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>And I tell my kids this all the time because

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>people come up to me all the time, like literally

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>every day every day, no matter even in New York

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.599
<v Speaker 1>at the Toy Fair. Yeah, I was coming out of

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the men's restroom and some guys like, we're jeh on tech,

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>what's up? And it's like, now, if I can't if

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I was walking around with like a sour look on

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.319
<v Speaker 1>my face and kind of like angry or treating people

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>really rude, it'd be awkward. Yeah, And I don't think

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you should be doing that in general, But being on TV,

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.319
<v Speaker 1>it's like people are watching you, and well, I feel

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 1>like I am who I am most of the time.

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not really a different person on TV. Right,

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 1>That's very clear because it's just like I am who

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I am.

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, it's like an instances like

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>this we were I was in probably one of the

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>most frustrated moments of my life where I was trying

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to get up to San Francisco for a meeting with Samsung. Yeah,

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and we didn't make it. Our flight was totally delayed,

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and I could have been, like, you know, very angry

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and visibly because I was with my photographer and I

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 1>could have been being rude to the people on the

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>podium at Southwest. I could have been really mad. Yeah,

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, I wasn't and this woman saw

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>me at my worst and here's what she said.

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>You weren't bad, So anyway I would have been so frustrated.

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>It is frustrating. Anyway. It's a weird thing when you're

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>on television to I always say this for every person

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that comes up to you and says hello or says

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>something or asks for a picture, there's fifty more people

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>in that room, probably one other that like also also

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that don't say anything, right, but they do tell their

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>friends and they're like, oh, I saw Rich and oh

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 1>my god, what a jerk. He was at the register

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 1>at Ralph's, you know, yeah, at the grocery store here,

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>or oh, seems like a nice guy, had a smile

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>on his face, he was with his kids, you know,

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:15.559
<v Speaker 1>his wife. Whatever.

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, I think that's important. You don't want to

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 2>be a jerk.

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>No, I try not to be. Well, thank you, um

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Nest camera outage. This is kind of a big deal

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of people use Nest cameras, including myself,

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to keep an eye on their home, and this just

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of goes to show what could potentially happen when

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>we rely on these cameras to secure our homes. These

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>cameras are cloud connected. They do a lot of the

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>lifting heavy lifting in the cloud. They record everything in

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the cloud. And on Monday, February twenty fourth, from eleven

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to fifty five am until four to twenty Wonder where

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>they got that number Pacific time? Noah, Wait what these

0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 1>stopped working? So you had a blackout period for cameras

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 1>across the nation that we're using Nest for four plus hours,

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>four hours twenty five minutes. Imagine that.

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 2>That's insane.

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, not only the cameras not work, they also didn't

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>record anything to the cloud during that time, so you had,

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>in effect a total blackout of these cameras for four

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>plus hours.

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 2>That's infuriating.

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, they gave me five bucks as a refund. I

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't notice this on my own camera because I wasn't

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>like looking at the time. But if something happened at

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>your house during that time, I would be so angry.

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's say you got a break in during that time.

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Now you have no video the whole point of having

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that cameras. I'm sure there was.

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Wait, so how did that happen?

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 1>They said it was a update to their server caused

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>a connectivity issue. I mean, but that's a big deal.

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And as we rely on these cloud things more and more.

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Here's what my thought is. Imagine you're a hacker. Yeah,

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you do the biggest hack where you hack the Nest servers.

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>You get them to black out for twelve hours, and

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>now it's a free for all across the nation.

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Or like if someone heard that there was a blackout,

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 2>they could just find a house that has a Nest camera.

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, oo, exactly near no one, Well, no one,

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 2>we'll know because what if people don't trace of me?

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 1>They tweet when when something like this happens, no cameras

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>are down. Oh, now they search. Maybe someone has a

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>search on their Twitter for a safe search that says

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Nest down, and they just wait for a whole bunch

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of those tweets and then they go strike.

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Could they just be saying it's a server thing, that

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>they were updating the server.

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it probably. I mean, that's kind of a

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>catch all for like we made a mistake.

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 2>If I was a security company, I don't, I mean,

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 2>you don't know, lie, But like I feel like they

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't want to say, you know, we were hacked.

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't. I don't think in this instance they were,

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>but maybe they were. You never know. I mean usually

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 1>they come out and say something big picture and then

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe they narrow it down later in a security.

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Block, updating or hacked server.

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly.

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 2>All right. This next question comes from Erica, and if

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 2>you want Rich to answer your tech questions, just go

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 2>to his web site rich on tech dot tv and

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>hit the contact button. Erica asks, can you please tell

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>me what the best anti virus software is?

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Ooh interesting? I get this question so much. People are

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with antivirus software. And here's my thought on it.

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that you should have it number one. If

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you have Windows ten, it's kind of built in. It's

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>called Windows Defender, and that's Microsoft's built in virus protection.

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>So I would say, make sure that's up to date,

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>make sure you haven't disabled that, make sure you haven't

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>gotten rid of that. Now after that, I feel like

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these antivirus softwares are very spammy and

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 1>they kind of bogged down your system. Like let's just

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 1>say the big company out there that you know, I'm

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>not going to mention the name, but there's a big

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>company that everyone knows is synonymous with anti virus.

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I've had that antivirus before, and I just feel like

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot going on for nothing, and so people

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 1>turn to these other apps that might maybe use less

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>resources on their system. So with all that said, I

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>mean to me, on my Mac, I was recommending Silance,

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>which we did a story with, which I thought was

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 1>really cool because it was it was sort of immediate

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.959
<v Speaker 1>and it was just a very cool AI powered But

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 1>then BlackBerry bought them, and I'm not sure that they

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>even do personal BlackBerry. Yeah, let's see if they even

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.159
<v Speaker 1>do Silence anti virus. Let's see if they do it

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>anymore for like consumers. And I thought this was cool

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>because they do it in like real time, so uh,

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 1>let's see. Yeah, they do have it, Okay, Silance Smart antivirus.

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's the one that I'd still recommend Windows in

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Mac compatible okay. And it's what's cool about it is

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that it's kind of anti virus with a brain, so

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>it looks at what's happening on your computer and if

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>it notices something that's going on that's bad in real time,

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 1>it'll stop that from happening, which compared to the other

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.679
<v Speaker 1>way most antivirus works. It has a large definition of stuff,

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 1>and any file that you bring onto your system, it

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of checks it across that definition and it says, oh,

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the bad files. This Silence works

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.359
<v Speaker 1>by kind of identifying things in real time that are bad. Okay,

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.440
<v Speaker 1>so that's kind of cool. Other than that, I would

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.199
<v Speaker 1>look at something like a vast which I like, and

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>then malware bytes I also like. And again, a lot

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of these things they start out free and then they

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>want you to be paid. Silence is just totally paid.

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>It's forty nine dollars a year for ten devices. I

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's well worth it. Yeah, so good question. Speaking

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:35.160
<v Speaker 1>of security, Firefox continues to kind of push user security.

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many people are using Firefox these

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.400
<v Speaker 1>days anymore. Remember what it was kind of a popular

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 1>way to surf the internet. A lot of people use

0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Chrome nowadays, which has a lot of security built in.

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 1>But when you're using Chrome, a lot of your data

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.439
<v Speaker 1>is being siphoned off to Google because it's owned by Google.

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>And why do they want you to use a browsers

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>so that they have more of a knowledge of who

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you are and what you're doing. Well, now Firefox is

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>doing this new thing called DNS over HTTPS, and this

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:07.640
<v Speaker 1>gets really techy, really nerdy, But the bottom line, when

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you type in a website into your computer like Yahoo

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>dot com, and most websites are encrypted at this point.

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 1>So when you go to Yahoo, everything you do on

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>there is now private. Basically most websites. If you look

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a little padlock next to the website. That means

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that whatever you type into that website no one can

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>really see because it's encrypted. It means it's kind of

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 1>enshrouded in secrecy between your computer and the computer on

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.919
<v Speaker 1>the receiving end. Back in the day, it wasn't, so

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.679
<v Speaker 1>anything you did was just kind of interceptible by anyone. Right,

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 1>long story short, when you type in that Yahoo dot com,

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:45.280
<v Speaker 1>that first thing you type in your ISP and other people,

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 1>because of the way it's looked up, can see what

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 1>you're typing in. Okay, So even though they can't see

0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>what happens once you get to that website, like your

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.879
<v Speaker 1>bank website, they can see that you went to your

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 1>bank website. So what Firefox is doing is they are

0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.880
<v Speaker 1>actually starting to do these look ups in a secured way.

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 1>So when you type in, you know, Yahoo dot com,

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 1>it needs to convert that into an address like one

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 1>nine two dot zero dot nine dot one. It will

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>do that in an encrypted way, which means it's still secret,

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>which means that your internet service provider, the person who

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 1>brings the internet into your home, will not be able

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to see a lot of the things that you do

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 1>on the web. Okay, whereas before they could still collect

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:23.919
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of data about people and know that

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:27.160
<v Speaker 1>they're visiting whatever website, shopping websites, and they can sell

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.679
<v Speaker 1>that data, they can cross reference it, now they no

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 1>longer have. If you're using Firefox, they will basically not

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 1>really see anything that you're doing. So it's like a

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 1>little step of security. Yeah, and now, I know a

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of people's minds go to kind of dirty or

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 1>things with this stuff, but it's not always for that.

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.360
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of countries in the world where you're

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>not as free as you are in America. So even

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>looking up something about a dictator or who knows any

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 1>kind of government stuff may put you in on a

0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.239
<v Speaker 1>watch list or whatever. Oh interesting, And so again this

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 1>is all in making life a little bit more private,

0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>especially in those moments when you may not realize that

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>someone has access to this data and Internet service providers

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>still have a lot of access to the data and

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the things that are happening in your home with your internet,

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and so by kind of closing some of these little holes,

0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>it patches some of the privacy leaks out there. And

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.720
<v Speaker 1>again this is something that only Firefox is doing. And

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I mentioned like kind of the world

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 1>scope of things, this is only turned on by default

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.360
<v Speaker 1>in the US. If you're in a different country using Firefox,

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>you have to go into the settings and turn on

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:41.160
<v Speaker 1>DNS over https. Megan Cool.

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:49.160
<v Speaker 2>This next question comes from tam Roku versus Firestick question mark,

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:52.879
<v Speaker 2>what are the advantages and disadvantages of each and which

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 2>is better?

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's a good question. Advantages disadvantages. Okay, So Firestick

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is Amazon, which means number one, they're pushing a lot

0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 1>of Amazon stuff. So when you log on to a Firestick,

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it's the whole screen is filled with stuff. Some of

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 1>it is advertising, a lot of it is kind of

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 1>like the new shows on Amazon. A lot of it

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.119
<v Speaker 1>is stuff you've watched before. It's very cluttered, and I

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like it is all over the place when it

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.680
<v Speaker 1>comes to the clutter on the screen. And yes, your

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:24.399
<v Speaker 1>apps and stuff are on there, but there's just a

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff going on. And I find that for

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.719
<v Speaker 1>every tile on that screen on my Fire, I am

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 1>clicking almost zero of them, Like they're not really I

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want, Like whatever they're surfacing, I'm not using. So

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going into my Netflix app or I'm going

0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 1>into my YouTube app or whatever. I'm not really looking

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>at all the other stuff. So if you now on

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the flip side, if you love Amazon and you love

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Amazon shows, this is gonna be your best and watching

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 1>free Amazon stuff, this is gonna be your best way

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>of a conduit to those to those properties on the

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:58.159
<v Speaker 1>flip side. Roku and they've always been like this is

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the Switzerland, and I've said this before,

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of streaming. They get your apps on screen. Yes, they're

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to advertising, Yes they're pushing their own Roku channel. Yes

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:08.920
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to get you to sign up for certain

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>new apps and channels and stuff. But at the end

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.639
<v Speaker 1>of the day, Roku is kind of like, if I

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:17.959
<v Speaker 1>had to describe it, Fire Fire TV is very busy,

0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 1>whereas Roku just kind of sits there and waits for

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:20.880
<v Speaker 1>you to do something.

0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's clean, Yeah, I love Roku and then we

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 2>have fire TV sticks in our house too.

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's a difference. Yeah.

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:30.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean like I don't really use those TVs, but

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't like I don't really like the look of it,

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Like I think it's it like you said, it's too cluttered.

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I recently switched to Apple TV, which is when

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you talk about the least of everything, it's there's nothing

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>on there, right, no ads, there's no nothing. They don't

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:45.960
<v Speaker 1>push you to anything. It's just your apps, just like

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone.

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 2>But it's funny. I had to kind of explain to

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:51.159
<v Speaker 2>my dad the other day because I was like, Apple

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 2>TV and then there's Apple TV. Plus he was like, wait,

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:56.400
<v Speaker 2>what that is? And so that's something that's also confusing.

0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 2>But Apple TV is very it's like the cleanest.

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it is the cleanest. It's also the most expensive, right.

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Roku has a price range for everyone. Fire TV stick

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you can, you know, give them out like Halloween candy.

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 1>They're so cheap. Yeah, my choice between those two things,

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 1>i'd probably I think they're both great. It really depends

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:18.920
<v Speaker 1>what you like. My biggest beef with the Fire TV

0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:22.159
<v Speaker 1>is I can never ever just I just want to

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:25.440
<v Speaker 1>see what the top movie rentals are. I can never

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:27.359
<v Speaker 1>find that on my Fire TV. And that's what really

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:30.160
<v Speaker 1>pushed me over the edge with the Apple is. I'm

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>just like, if I can't find this, this is I

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:34.399
<v Speaker 1>love to just see what the top movies are, and

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 1>on Fire I just can't find it. It's like it's

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>just it's there somewhere, but it's like it's like top

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Prime Choice, Top Prime Romantic Choices, top Prime action movies,

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 1>top Prime TV shows. I'm like, just give me movies

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that are people are renting and watching.

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have a question kind of related to this.

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:56.640
<v Speaker 2>We've talked a lot about like how you've changed your

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 2>like cable situation. What are you doing right now? Because

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 2>I have an aunt who she's like, all I want

0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:08.200
<v Speaker 2>to watch is The Bachelor, and but I have direct

0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:09.679
<v Speaker 2>TV And I was like, well then you should just

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 2>have Hulu. But then she was like, but you know

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.440
<v Speaker 2>then we want sports occasionally. So what is your what

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 2>are you doing again?

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>So what I'm doing is I can tell you two things.

0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 1>So number One, I don't watch a lot of TV,

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>so I don't need any I've recently canceled my direct

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 1>TV now which was sixty bucks a month. I do

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 1>have a device that allows me. It's called Tableau, which

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>allows me to take in an antenna signal. Before I

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:39.360
<v Speaker 1>was using the Amazon Fire TV recast Tableau, same thing,

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 1>except it works across all the different platforms and it's

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>just a little tiny box that you plug your antenna into.

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 1>And now you have an app on your TV screen

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 1>on your Fire or your Apple TV or your Roku

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that lets you access your local channels over the air,

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and you can also record them to if you want.

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, it costs five bucks a month if you

0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:58.680
<v Speaker 1>want the program data for a longer period of time.

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't need that because I just tune in live.

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 1>So when I was watching like the Grammys Boom, just

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>tune in live.

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Right And ABC is an over the channel, So like.

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Ninety nine percent of the time, the stuff you want

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 1>to watch, like the big events are free. Now when

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it comes to sports, that's where things get tricky. So

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:18.639
<v Speaker 1>with me personally, I watch USC football. I would say

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 1>some of the games are on over the air on

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>ABC seven or something like that, or NBC when it's

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame a lot of times on ESPN, So how

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.440
<v Speaker 1>do I get ESPN right now? I don't have a solution.

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't. It was past football season when I got

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 1>rid of direct TV now, so this next season will

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.159
<v Speaker 1>be an issue. I don't know what I'm gonna do,

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 1>so that's gonna be a part of it. But I

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 1>would say the other thing you could do. There's a

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 1>service called low cast, And this is what my mom does.

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:47.360
<v Speaker 1>She went from having Direct TV Now for sixty bucks

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>a month to now she pays five dollars a month

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 1>for low cast, and it's if you don't feel like

0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:54.679
<v Speaker 1>putting an antenna on your house, you download this app

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and you donate five dollars a month to them. They

0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>have an antenna somewhere and then they stream the pannels

0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to your TV. Wow. Now the broadcasters don't necessarily like

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 1>that model because they're not necessarily getting paid for that.

0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 1>So now they don't get paid for antenna either. And

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the way low cast argues is that, well, we're just

0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 1>an extended antenna signal. Right, We're just taking the antenna

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 1>signal from a nice rooftop somewhere and just piping it

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:23.640
<v Speaker 1>into your TV. Broadcasters like, eh, we don't know if

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, allowed, So they're kind of operating in

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:28.719
<v Speaker 1>a gray area. So far, so good. They've been around

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 1>for a bit. But that's another box, Tableau t t

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:36.560
<v Speaker 1>A b l oh t A.

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 2>So you just need like one tableau box.

0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it'll service all your TVs. Now there's a

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>certain amount you can watch from those. I think it's

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.399
<v Speaker 1>two TVs at once or two channels at once. But yeah,

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a way of doing it. And there's also

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 1>I did when I when I wanted to watch something

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 1>on a channel that I did not get, I did

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:59.199
<v Speaker 1>subscribe to Fubo TV for one day and I just

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 1>signed up for a free and it got me. I

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 1>think it was the Grammys or something. It was whatever

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever I couldn't get on something. I think it was

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a Grammy pre show maybe, and it was on E

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:09.919
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't have E. So I just signed up

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>for a day, got the show, and boom, I was done.

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh maybe it was Super Bowl anyway, good question. Speaking

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of streaming TV, Netflix is finally finally showing us the

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:28.679
<v Speaker 1>most popular TV shows and movies on its Yes, finally,

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>it's been so long and I get it Netflix. And

0:28:33.080 --> 0:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about this on the podcast where they'd love

0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to be personalized, and they want to make everything perfect

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 1>for you. Sometimes I just want to see what is

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 1>popular across everyone, not just myself. This is kind of

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 1>like a dating app. It's like, now everyone's dating on

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>these apps, and you're literally picking the person that's the

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 1>equivalent of you, except either you know, male or female,

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:57.400
<v Speaker 1>or you know whatever you prefer. But it's just like you,

0:28:57.560 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 1>except in another human Like, well, I like bagel, so

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 1>they should like bagels. I like romantic comedies.

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 2>They should like love bagels.

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I like going to Hawaii, so they should like going

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 1>to Hawaii. I like food at fancy restaurants, so they

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 1>should like you're literally picking the same person, except because

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>these little apps let you pick every aspect of the

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 1>person rather than you know, the old days anyway. So

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Netflix to me is kind of like that. It's like,

0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 1>we only want to show you what we think you'll

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>love because of what you watched before. Well, guess what,

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm a dynamic person. I may want to watch some

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:30.360
<v Speaker 1>random movie like I watched that dumb to All the

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Boys I loved before whatever.

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh you did, Yeah it was not very good, started

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 2>it and then I was like, I'm bored.

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Really it was very much sponsored by like Subway. Like

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>remember they kept getting like Subway subs.

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 2>In that movie.

0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so those kind of things like I don't. I

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 1>will sample weird things like that every once in a while,

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Like that Cheer show. People are saying, that's very good and.

0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Like the old show No cheer.

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's it's about cheerleading. Yeah it's it's the premise

0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 1>is cheerleading, but it's really about like determination and drive

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and all this stuff. So again I might check that out.

0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so now you can see top ten lists on Netflix,

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to show you the top ten most

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:14.200
<v Speaker 1>popular series and the top ten films when you click

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 1>on the movies and TV show tabs not on your

0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>home screen, I guess, so you have to go into

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the tab.

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 1>And the best part is any show that when you're

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>browsing that's into the top ten, it will have a

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>little top ten batge so you can see, like this

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>is the top ten. And I think that's kind of

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:30.080
<v Speaker 1>fun rather than they always put these weird things like

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>trending on Netflix, popular on Netflix. Just show me the

0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 1>top ten, give me the list. I can handle it.

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can handle it.

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't handle the truth.

0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, I don't know if I can handle the truth. Okay,

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:48.240
<v Speaker 2>this next question comes from Cleveland. Do you know of

0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 2>any dashcams that record overnight without being plugged into the

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 2>power outlet of your car. I would like to be

0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 2>able to record both facing out and inward if possible.

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 2>The outward facing would be ideal in the event of

0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 2>any accident while parked or a theft.

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, I would say that a lot of the dash

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 1>cams will do this functionality no matter what. So even

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 1>if a dash cam requires power from your car, uh,

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 1>just look. Okay, So here's what you look for. Look

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 1>for a dash can that has an on board battery.

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>And what it does is it will it'll plug into

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>your cigarette lighter and it'll be charging this battery on board,

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 1>So most of the time it's powered by your car,

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 1>but when you turn off your car, it will still

0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>have enough juice in it to roll camera if your

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 1>car is hit. And so that's the other thing you

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 1>need to look for is a g shock sensor. And

0:31:44.120 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 1>all that looks is for a movement, you know, like

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a boom boom boom like and you can usually set

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the sensitivity for that. So if you want just you know,

0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:55.719
<v Speaker 1>if someone runs a car at the you know, Ralph's

0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 1>parking lot, I said Ralphs twice in this podcast, you

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 1>know the grocery store parking lot. If someone runs a

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 1>car into your car, you may not want that to

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>trigger a recording, like you're really gonna go after that person.

0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I would hunt them down. Now you have a new car,

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 1>do you have that feeling of like there is a

0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 1>moment when have you gotten a ding on it yet?

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:16.560
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but you know there's a time Wait.

0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot. I got a tiny, tiny, tiny little ding.

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 1>When I was Isn't that the worst feeling?

0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I like almost cried.

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just you know what's gonna happen when you

0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 1>have a new car, and it's just but it's.

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Like, it's the worst.

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I've had my car for like three years. And at

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:35.960
<v Speaker 1>this point I don't care anymore because my kids will

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 1>take the door lease. Well I know, but so now

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 1>do you care less because of that?

0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I care more because I large you at the end.

0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I think they end. Sometimes they don't know,

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:47.280
<v Speaker 2>but maybe they won't even notice.

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I feel like they have to understand

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:53.320
<v Speaker 1>when a car is going through normal wear and tear. Yeah,

0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna get dings throughout three years of a lease, right.

0:32:57.600 --> 0:32:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And I've heard stories from people out of return cars.

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes they look over them like with a fine tooth comb.

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Other times they don't care, right, And so it just

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:04.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of depends.

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe if you're like gonna lease another car

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:07.560
<v Speaker 2>from them, Yeah, like.

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, we'll look the other way, don't.

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we will look at the like missing tire.

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what I was just gonna say. Did we

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 1>deliver this car with four tires or three? Only three?

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:22.280
<v Speaker 2>You're getting another porche It's fine.

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Well look the other right. So the couple of things

0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to look for in your camera is a

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 1>g shock sensor and an onboard battery. With that said,

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the camera that I like is the Vava camera. Via Va,

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that it records both the front and

0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the back. The other camera to look at is the

0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>owl cam, And the other one I tried was called

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the Pure Cam, and that one was great. Every quord

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:45.760
<v Speaker 1>that has all the things I just talked about. What

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>it did not do is it did not have good

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 1>software on your iPhone, so it was really poor software,

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.520
<v Speaker 1>and that's what kept me from using that. We've talked

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 1>about this on the podcast before Jiff versus GIF. In fact,

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it was this last podcast that we had

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 1>a whole talk about this pronunciation debate, and now it

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:09.080
<v Speaker 1>might be coming to an end thanks to a marketing

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 1>stunt by Jeff Peanut Butter. Jeff Peanut Butter came out

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>with two special jars that help you explain to yourself

0:34:18.000 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 1>how you should pronounce Jeff versus Giff. Jeff. You know

0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the peanut butter. It's always been pronounced Jeff with a

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:28.200
<v Speaker 1>j if. Giff is written g if. A lot of

0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:31.880
<v Speaker 1>people call it a jiff, but they're saying hard G

0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:36.840
<v Speaker 1>for GIF and soft G for jiff the peanut butter. Okay,

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>hard G for the graphic, the leaping animated image, soft

0:34:42.640 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 1>jay for the peanut butter. So now you care. It

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>is actually easy to remember, huh.

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I know. I Yeah, it is like j I just

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 2>always called gifts gifts.

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you did, I But it's funny because of the game.

0:34:57.080 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 1>The guy who came out with.

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Who right you were telling me this last week.

0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Said, Jeff, I remember this is south by Southwest them.

0:35:05.600 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing. It stands for, like we said

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 1>last week, graphics interchange format with graph fixedrookok, I don't

0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>want to get through this, but Griff, long story short,

0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the bottles of peanut butter sold out instantly on Amazon.

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 1>They were selling a two pack, you know, the two

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 1>bottles a pair for ten bucks, Okay, And I guess

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:27.479
<v Speaker 1>people went crazy over these things, and it's kind of fun.

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I could see why. Yeah, And they put more on

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Amazon and those sold out in like one minute. So

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I do have a pair of bottles coming to me.

0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:39.879
<v Speaker 1>They're supposed to arrive today. I was hoping they were

0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:43.239
<v Speaker 1>in time for today's TV hits. I didn't get them

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:44.879
<v Speaker 1>in time, so maybe I'll show them off next week.

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 1>But I like the idea of just having this on

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:48.880
<v Speaker 1>my desk so I always remember. I'm like Giff, Jiff.

0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:51.239
<v Speaker 1>And again, it's a marketing stunt, but it's kind of fun.

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I like it. It's cute, all right. This next question

0:35:56.719 --> 0:36:02.000
<v Speaker 2>comes from Steve. Except for Alert, the location settings on

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 2>my iPhone apps are set to while I'm using the app.

0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:08.880
<v Speaker 2>But I also know that once I open an app,

0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:13.239
<v Speaker 2>it stays open until I close it individually while it

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 2>is in this state that is open but non current use.

0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Is it still reporting my location?

0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 1>This is a great question. Yeah, and the short answer

0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:29.080
<v Speaker 1>is yes, but no. And so here's what's happening on you.

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:32.000
<v Speaker 1>He's talking about the iPhone, right, Yeah, So on the iPhone,

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:34.520
<v Speaker 1>when you open up an app, when you're using it,

0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:37.920
<v Speaker 1>your anything goes like it. You know, whatever permissions you've

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 1>given it, whether it's your location, microphone camera, whatever, it

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 1>can access those things when it shifts to the background.

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 1>There are two ways it can.

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Be handled, so when you change to another app, you

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 2>still have it.

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Like kind of in your recent apps.

0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:51.919
<v Speaker 2>All my apps open all the time.

0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 1>But you're okay, because the way that the iPhone works

0:36:54.640 --> 0:36:57.919
<v Speaker 1>is it puts apps to sleep in the background. Now

0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that the time app the time that it takes to

0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep is could be a potential issue. So

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:08.799
<v Speaker 1>some apps like to stay awake in the background so

0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that they can do certain things all the time. So

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:14.239
<v Speaker 1>like a music streaming app has gotten special permission from

0:37:14.280 --> 0:37:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Apple to stay awake in the background because otherwise it

0:37:16.560 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be able to stream music. A mapping app has

0:37:21.120 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 1>special permission to work in the background so that it

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 1>can gather your GPS coordinates and give you directions. Now,

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:31.399
<v Speaker 1>other apps have firm rules for how long they can

0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:34.479
<v Speaker 1>stay accessing system resources in the background before Apple says

0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:37.880
<v Speaker 1>night night, goodbye, see you later. So the longer. The

0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>short of it is, if it's not a nefarious app

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 1>that is trying to do something evil and it's been

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:46.920
<v Speaker 1>coded word, if it's not been coded in an evil way,

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:49.320
<v Speaker 1>it will eventually go to sleep. And that's why Apple

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:51.560
<v Speaker 1>always says you do not need to close out your

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:54.480
<v Speaker 1>recent apps unless they are behaving badly, and then you

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 1>can go ahead and swipe them closed. Otherwise you're doing

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 1>just fine. Your apps in the background should not be

0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 1>accessing stuff that they shouldn't be able to access in

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the foreground.

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:08.400
<v Speaker 2>That answer it, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Now with that said, on Android, whole different story system.

0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Our apps can use resources in the background on Android

0:38:15.680 --> 0:38:18.680
<v Speaker 1>much easier than they can on iOS. That's also the

0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:22.799
<v Speaker 1>reason why the battery lasts longer on iOS because basically

0:38:22.840 --> 0:38:24.799
<v Speaker 1>the app that you're using is pretty much the only

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:28.240
<v Speaker 1>thing that's happening on your phone at that time, Versus Android,

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:30.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things could be happening in the background. Now,

0:38:30.480 --> 0:38:32.839
<v Speaker 1>there's advantages to that on Android, and I'll just go

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:36.840
<v Speaker 1>into one. One example is Google Photos. So on Android,

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Google Photos can work in the background even if you

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 1>haven't opened the app to upload all your pictures in

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:45.319
<v Speaker 1>the background. With iOS, it only gets that permission when

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:47.719
<v Speaker 1>you open up the app, and maybe in the background

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 1>when you have it on a charger and it has

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 1>been properly coded to kind of ping the server and say, hey,

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I've got some pictures here. Can I upload these real quick?

0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 1>And your iPhone says, well, you can't use this all night.

0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 1>You can't just stay open and transmitting data all night,

0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:02.480
<v Speaker 1>but we'll give you a couple of minutes to kind

0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of refresh things. That's called background refresh. Okay, it's very complicated,

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's done for a reason. On the iPhone, they've

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.399
<v Speaker 1>optimized the iPhone in such a heavy way to make

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the battery last and also make sure that these apps

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:15.239
<v Speaker 1>aren't doing things they shouldn't be doing.

0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Good to know.

0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Uh, okay, oh shoot, we have a couple of things,

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:22.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, I want to get to Okay, this is

0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:26.160
<v Speaker 1>really interesting. We'll do two more things. Okay, but this

0:39:26.200 --> 0:39:29.400
<v Speaker 1>is really interesting. This director said that on camera you

0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:33.400
<v Speaker 1>won't see bad guys in movies using the iPhone because

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Apple does not allow their products to be portrayed in

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:40.200
<v Speaker 1>that light. This is knives out director Ryan Johnson in

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:44.360
<v Speaker 1>an interview with Variety. With an interview with Vanity Fair.

0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Another funny thing. I don't know if I should say

0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:50.880
<v Speaker 3>this or not, not because it's like Lasiba's or some

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 3>because it's going to screw me on the next mystery

0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:56.280
<v Speaker 3>movie that I write, but forget, I'll say it's very interesting.

0:39:56.600 --> 0:39:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Apple they let you use iPhones and movies, but in

0:39:59.840 --> 0:40:02.880
<v Speaker 3>the is very pivotal. If you're ever watching a mystery movie,

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 3>bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera. So no, every

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 3>single filmmaker who does a bad guy in their movie

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:14.440
<v Speaker 3>it's supposed to be a secret wants to murder me.

0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Right now, Let's see what Jamie's saying.

0:40:17.640 --> 0:40:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, interesting, interesting revelation. That's again knives out director Ryan

0:40:22.880 --> 0:40:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Johnson in a YouTube interview for Vanity Fair YouTube video.

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 1>And what he's saying is that I think here's what

0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:32.839
<v Speaker 1>he's saying. I'm reading between the lines. He says that

0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you can't really have an iPhone in the hands of

0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a villain on screen because Apple doesn't like that. I

0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>think What he is not saying is this is when

0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Apple is supplying the phones for the production. If you

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:48.239
<v Speaker 1>ever watch Modern Family, every device on that show was

0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 1>an Apple device. At the end of the show, it

0:40:50.120 --> 0:40:53.879
<v Speaker 1>says promotional consideration provided by Apple, because Apple gave those

0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:56.359
<v Speaker 1>directors a whole bunch of stuff and they were able

0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:58.359
<v Speaker 1>to use them in their show. Along with that whole

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:01.040
<v Speaker 1>bunch of free stuff to use iPad and tablets and

0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, imax and all these iPhones in the show.

0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:05.520
<v Speaker 1>They also had a little line in that that said,

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:07.880
<v Speaker 1>here's how you will not use these products. You're not

0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 1>going to show them doing bad things. You're not going

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.759
<v Speaker 1>to show people throwing them and crashing them and you know,

0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:14.400
<v Speaker 1>getting into car accidents using them in the car. You

0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. There's a whole bunch of regulations

0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 1>that come along with these free products. But if you

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and I are doing a music video and we don't

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:24.960
<v Speaker 1>ask Apple for free phones or permission, we could do

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever we want with these phones. So if villain Meghan

0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:34.319
<v Speaker 1>is on screen crushing you know, a character with her

0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:37.319
<v Speaker 1>bare hands, you can have an iPhone and make a

0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:38.160
<v Speaker 1>call after that.

0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Villain Meghan.

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, finally, I just want to mention one more thing,

0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:47.160
<v Speaker 1>because I've talked about this before with you, and I

0:41:47.280 --> 0:41:50.279
<v Speaker 1>just think this is super interesting. New York Times did

0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a little informal survey of how expensive it is to

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:59.359
<v Speaker 1>eat using food delivery apps, and it is fascinating because

0:41:59.360 --> 0:42:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I've always had this hypothesis, right, I always call it.

0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I call it the most expensive way to eat. In fact,

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I would argue that getting food delivery at this point

0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:11.520
<v Speaker 1>is almost more expensive than going to a restaurant and eating. Yeah, yeah,

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:13.839
<v Speaker 1>because you're paying all these service charges and fees. And

0:42:13.880 --> 0:42:15.719
<v Speaker 1>what people don't even realize is when you look at

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the menu on uber eats.

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Or Postmates, they like it's the they redo the menu

0:42:22.160 --> 0:42:25.160
<v Speaker 2>for the app. So it's like five dollars rice is

0:42:25.200 --> 0:42:28.319
<v Speaker 2>actually now ten dollars rice, so you're paying double exactly.

0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Its insane.

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:32.000
<v Speaker 1>So they looked at grub Hub, door Dash, Postmates, Uber Eats,

0:42:32.000 --> 0:42:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and the restaurant. So for instance, a six inch turkey

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:36.960
<v Speaker 1>breast sub at Subway, if you got two of them,

0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>would be twelve dollars and fifty eight cents at the restaurant.

0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Get it through uber eats, it's fourteen dollars and seventy

0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 1>eight cents on the menu. By the way, this doesn't

0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:47.000
<v Speaker 1>include the extra fees on the menu at Postmates fourteen

0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:49.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy eight, door Dash fourteen seventy eight, grub Hub eleven

0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:52.400
<v Speaker 1>ninety eight. Then you've got your delivery fee anywhere from

0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:53.960
<v Speaker 1>a dollar ninety nine to three one nine. Then you've

0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:57.160
<v Speaker 1>got your service fee. A lot of times they'll say, oh,

0:42:57.200 --> 0:43:00.120
<v Speaker 1>free delivery this, you know on a Tuesday night with

0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:01.920
<v Speaker 1>this code. Well they don't tell you is that you

0:43:01.960 --> 0:43:04.120
<v Speaker 1>still pay a service fee yep, and then you pay

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:05.200
<v Speaker 1>sales tax, which of course you.

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Pay the party thing on Postmates. I always like, when

0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm lazy, i might do it, and then I'm like, no,

0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:13.239
<v Speaker 2>it all adds up to the same thing.

0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:16.840
<v Speaker 1>They've created fees so that they can credit you fees.

0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's like false advertising. They're like, oh, it's

0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:22.799
<v Speaker 2>free this, but yeah. Anyways, so the total.

0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Cost for these two subs if you ate them at

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the restaurant thirteen dollars twenty one cents, or I guess

0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:28.239
<v Speaker 1>if you got them at the restaurant, if you pick

0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:31.400
<v Speaker 1>them up. Total costs and Uber each twenty five dollars,

0:43:31.840 --> 0:43:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Postmates twenty two dollars, Door Dash nineteen dollars, grub Hub

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:39.320
<v Speaker 1>sixteen dollars. Markups range from twenty five percent to ninety

0:43:39.320 --> 0:43:43.360
<v Speaker 1>one percent. Now here's the thing. When you're ordering Postmates

0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:45.439
<v Speaker 1>for twenty one fifty two for two subs, for someone

0:43:45.480 --> 0:43:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to bring it to your house seems pretty reasonable. You're

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 1>not really thinking about the fact that it's thirteen bucks

0:43:50.520 --> 0:43:52.520
<v Speaker 1>if you went and drove there yourself, because all this

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:55.120
<v Speaker 1>convenience of this person bringing it to your home. But

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:58.320
<v Speaker 1>that's still a markup of sixty three percent.

0:43:58.400 --> 0:43:59.040
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy.

0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:04.080
<v Speaker 1>A couple other things about this is that Ubers service

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 1>charges were the most unpredictable. It seemed like grub Hub

0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:09.880
<v Speaker 1>was kind of the cheapest out of these when it

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 1>comes to the markup. And the bottom line is that

0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:17.120
<v Speaker 1>there's not really much you can do about this. If

0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you like these delivery apps, you are paying a premium.

0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:21.400
<v Speaker 1>And what I always say, and I've used them, don't

0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:25.879
<v Speaker 1>like I'm not preaching here, but it's almost like there

0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:28.399
<v Speaker 1>are nights when I'm sitting there so ready to order

0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:31.120
<v Speaker 1>one of these apps, one of these food apps, and

0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, you know what, let me just go

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and just make something myself. Like it's actually cheaper for

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:40.359
<v Speaker 1>me to go to the grocery store and just buy

0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:42.759
<v Speaker 1>something that I can make that night.

0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I was going to Postmates to potle and then I thought, well,

0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe they have free delivery, like weirdly, and I went

0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 2>to their site and they had free delivery and it

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:53.480
<v Speaker 2>was the same as if I had gone in store.

0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:55.920
<v Speaker 2>So I use their free delivery service.

0:44:56.400 --> 0:44:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that's a lot of these companies right now

0:44:59.000 --> 0:45:01.759
<v Speaker 1>are experimenting with using Postmates and grub Hub and all

0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:03.560
<v Speaker 1>these other things. Yeah, but then they're sort of when

0:45:03.560 --> 0:45:06.319
<v Speaker 1>they get their own thing in place, they're using their

0:45:06.360 --> 0:45:08.879
<v Speaker 1>own delivery, right, So it's we're in a middle time.

0:45:08.920 --> 0:45:11.040
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, Yeah, I thought, look up the New York

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Times article. It's very fascinating. It's kind of eye opening.

0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:15.879
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, my go to simplest thing ever

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:19.720
<v Speaker 1>is just a protein like a salmon or a chicken

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:21.880
<v Speaker 1>or a steak. Buy one of those, and then you

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:24.480
<v Speaker 1>get some rice, and then you buy some veggies. My

0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:27.440
<v Speaker 1>go to is just broccoli and bell pepper.

0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Are you saying just to like make your own dinner.

0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you make your own bowl and then you put

0:45:30.920 --> 0:45:34.360
<v Speaker 1>some of that, you put some of that. Karaoke stuff

0:45:34.400 --> 0:45:35.920
<v Speaker 1>on it. I mean it's so easy. I made them

0:45:35.960 --> 0:45:37.960
<v Speaker 1>last night, and it's I mean, a whole family of

0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:40.680
<v Speaker 1>four could eat for like five bucks or ten dollars

0:45:40.680 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 1>instead of forty dollars.

0:45:42.320 --> 0:45:43.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's crazy.

0:45:44.040 --> 0:45:46.359
