1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Hands on with Samsung's latest foldable phones TCL strays from

2
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Roku but not too far. My favorite Google search term revealed,

3
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions answered?

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: What is going on?

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Imridge Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: where I talk about the tech stuff I think you

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: should know about.

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: It's also the place where I answer the questions you

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 2: send me.

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles, Hollywood, California,

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: to be specific, and.

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: So last week I talked about on the show how

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: the downloads basically doubled and I wasn't really sure why,

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: but it's happened and it's a thing, So thank you

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: to the new listeners. I don't know what what made

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: the change. I suspect it has to do with Facebook

18
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: showing the podcast to more people, but I'm not really sure,

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: but I'll take it. I mean it's you know, I

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: thought it was a fluke for one show, but two

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: shows were winning, so good deal.

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: I love that. Thank you for listening. Also got some comments.

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: About the way I do the show, so you know,

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: I read the questions and then give the answers, and

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: I of course think.

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: That's a little a little hokey.

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: I would rather either have someone reading the questions or

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: perhaps you know, ideally have live callers, but you know,

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: the way that this podcast is produced, that's just not

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: possible right now. And so, but I did hear from

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: I've heard this couple of times actually that some of

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: you like the way the questions are done because I

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: read them, so that means that they're done in a

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: faster way than like someone who's calling, because usually when

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: people call, there's a little back and forth. You know,

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: you're chit chatting where you're from, how you're doing. And

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: I personally like that. I like to get to learn,

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit more about the people that

39
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking to.

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: But I get it.

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: If you're just trying to, like, you know, extract information

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: from my brain to yours, like I get it, this

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: is a good format for that because it's basically just

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: an hour of me, you know, listening to these questions

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: and answering them and just kind of getting them done

46
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: in a fast way. So I will continue to do

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: the show this way. Who knows, maybe it will evolve

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: at some point, but right now we'll keep it the same.

49
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: What else what else is going on in my life

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: before we start the show. My mom is in town.

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: So if you follow me on Instagram at rich on Tech,

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, last week I told you about how I

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: had deleted my social media for a while. I'm back

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: on and I'll tell you it's not the same. It's

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: like I feel like, you know, every time I'm on

56
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: it now, I'm like, oh am I wasting my time?

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: But I really do enjoy it.

58
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: I enjoy kind of especially my Facebook page. I mean

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: it reaches a lot of people, and it's kind of

60
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: fun because you can see when something is popular and

61
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: something resonates with people, like almost instantly. So if I

62
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: put a post out there, especially video posts, you know,

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: if it's not getting shares and views within you know,

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: five minutes, it's basically a non starter. Like I've rarely

65
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: seen things that go viral after a couple of days.

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, sometimes it takes a couple of days

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: to percolate, but there's always that initial interest that kind

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: of drives it. And I've noticed with with various posts

69
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: on Facebook, if they don't really get that pick up immediately,

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: then they're not really they kind of I call them

71
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: a stall you know, they just kind of like, yeah,

72
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: they're just there.

73
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: What else this week?

74
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Twitter change the font and the look and the feel,

75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: and so I'll talk more about that later in the show.

76
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: But and we got some Samsung stuff that's happening. All

77
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: the new foldables actually have the the Z. Hold on,

78
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: let me get the full name, the Samsung Galaxy Z

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: Flip three five G. I mean, who doesn't have that

80
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: on their Christmas list?

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: I've got this in my hand.

82
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: And they sent the Flip five G and the Fold

83
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: five G, and out of the two, the Flip five

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: G is definitely the more the device that I would

85
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: rather I would see myself getting right, I'm not sure

86
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: if either of these devices are for me, but I

87
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: do like the idea of this, this Z flip, So

88
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: I'll talk more about that. Actually, let's just get into it.

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: Let's get into the first story of the week. Samsung

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: had their unpacked event. This was a virtual event like

91
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: they've been doing like it seems like things are gonna

92
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: be done for a while now, or I guess for

93
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. But they had their So it's funny

94
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: because I was reading on Twitter, someone said, hey, do

95
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: you remember the last in person event was Samsung Galaxy

96
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: Unpacked in San Francisco in twenty twenty. And I'm trying

97
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: to remember because I went to two events that month,

98
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: and one was the Toy Fair and one was the

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Samsung event, and they were right after each other. They

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: were both in February of twenty twenty, and this was

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: right before sort of things got locked down, and I

102
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: remember thinking for the Toy Fair, like, oh, should I go.

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: It's New York City, you know, who knows what's going on.

104
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: They were sort of the epicenter at the time, along

105
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: with Seattle, and I said, you know what, I'm just

106
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: going to go, and I went and it was fine.

107
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: But then the Samsung thing, I can't remember if it

108
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: was before or after, but it was the same thing.

109
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: It was like, we know, there's this thing out there,

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: but you know, just be careful and you know whatever.

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: And at this point we were still all touching phones

112
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: and you know, in this big auditorium together. But that

113
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,559
Speaker 1: was the last one of those two were the last

114
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: in person event that I went to, and both of

115
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: those shows, I mean, the Samsung event and that was

116
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: for the launch of the twenty But anyway, everything's been

117
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: virtual since then. So let's talk about the devices that

118
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: Samsung unveiled, the Galaxy Z fold three and the Z

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: Flip three.

120
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: The fold three is.

121
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: Basically remember the phone that had the problem with the

122
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: hinge where it was like messing up. There was getting

123
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, dust and debris behind it, it was breaking the screen.

124
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: People were peeling off the screen protectors. So this was

125
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: Samsung's first foldable device. It's got that big screen inside,

126
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: like a seven point six inch screen, and then it's

127
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: got the exterior screen, which is a lot bigger these

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: days than it was when it first launched. Also, the

129
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: device overall is just thinner. It's you know a little

130
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: more sleek. It's a little bit more lightweight, but it's

131
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: still a very heavy gadget, and it's still a very

132
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: big gadget. So you know, I love just showing this

133
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: stuff to like my family when I get home, Like,

134
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: like I said, my mom's in town, and my wife

135
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and my kids, and you know, I just let them

136
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: kind of touch this stuff and see what the reaction is.

137
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: And you know they're all like, ooh, that that's big phone.

138
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: That's a heavy phone. But then with this little Z

139
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Flip three, which looks like a standard Samsung Galaxy that

140
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: literally just folds in half. That's the more interesting device

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: because people they like the form factor because it reminds

142
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: them of the days of the Motorola Razor. Ironically, Motorola

143
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: came out with the foldable Razor a couple like two

144
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: or three years ago, and I don't know how many

145
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: years ago. It was definitely back before coronavirus because it

146
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: was in person. I remember going to the event, the

147
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: launch event in Los Angeles, and so it's funny that

148
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: Sam Motorola themselves were not able to bring back the

149
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: razor flip even though it had a foldable device. But

150
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Samsung kind of took that idea and ran with it,

151
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: and their Flip three is actually really really compelling, and

152
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: it's a phone that I think I'm not quite ready

153
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: to recommend just yet, but it's definitely one of those

154
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: devices that is like it's the future.

155
00:07:59,720 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: You know.

156
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: It's like, foldable phones are a thing, and when people

157
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: see this thing, they're like, Okay, that's pretty cool. If

158
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: it's in my pocket, it's small, it's easy I find.

159
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: Well, let me just go through these a little bit more. Okay.

160
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: So the fold is that, you know, they improve the hinge.

161
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: The big news is that they made both of these

162
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 1: devices water resistant, which I think is a pretty big deal.

163
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: This is not an underwater camera.

164
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: You're not gonna take it, you know, in the ocean,

165
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: but if it gets wet, a little splash, whatever, it's

166
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna be just fine.

167
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: It's ipx eight.

168
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Samsung hid the selfie camera on the fold, which is

169
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: kind of hokey because you can definitely see it. It's

170
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: actually kind of weird. It's also only for megapixels, so

171
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: it's not a very good camera. I mean, this is

172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: the thing about Samsung. They always take a couple of

173
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: steps forward, and then there's always something about their device

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: that's like a couple steps back. Like when you think

175
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: about the Samsung Galaxy S twenty Ultra. When that launched,

176
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: it had a hundred times zoom. Oh my gosh, that's amazing.

177
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: But the step back it took is that a zoom

178
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: wasn't even very good at a hundred times, so you

179
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: didn't even need it.

180
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: But the actual.

181
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: Regular camera had so much fringing around the images because

182
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: it had such a small depth of field, or a

183
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: shallow depth of field. I should say that it was

184
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: almost unusable, and it's still almost unusable to this day.

185
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: And I've noticed with Samsung devices they still have this

186
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: problem where they're just not as crisp around the edges

187
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: of things like text, especially as the other phones that

188
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: I test specifically, like the Pixel and the iPhone, and

189
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: so I guess it's just a deal with their lenses.

190
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, but I definitely even notice it

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: on these new devices, Like I took a couple of

192
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: pictures and like gosh one plus has the same problem.

193
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: It seems.

194
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just these bigger lenses they're using that

195
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: just seem to you know, they take great pictures when

196
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: you're a you know, big picture, like a wide angle

197
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: or like a you know, just a scene, but when

198
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: you get really close up on something, you have to

199
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: be a certain distance away for that item.

200
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: To be in Let's see what else.

201
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: The Fold three now supports a stylist, which is really cool.

202
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 2: You can write on the screen.

203
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Samsung did not send me a stylist to test, so

204
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: I can't really say how well that works, although I

205
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: can say that I know use my finger on it.

206
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because Samsung had to take two digitizers

207
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: and place them next to each other because there's that

208
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: crease in the middle. And they made an algorithm that

209
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: lets the screens or the digitizers figure out when you're

210
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: over that little area that doesn't have any digitizer in it.

211
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: So they it and it works just fine. If you

212
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: run your finger across the whole length of the phone,

213
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: the line looks perfect.

214
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: So they did a good job with that. Let's see.

215
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so the Fold three is two hundred dollars cheaper

216
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: than last year. It starts at eighteen hundred dollars, and

217
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: again this is for really early adopters. I see the

218
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: idea behind this, and I think that for some people

219
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: that literally only want to carry around a phone, they

220
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: don't want a tablet, and they don't want a computer,

221
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred dollars is actually not a bad price for

222
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: all three of these things in one.

223
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: Personally, I have a tablet. I like to use it.

224
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I would use this, I don't know, Maybe I

225
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: should try using this for a little bit. But you know,

226
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: I also really like my computer as well. So I

227
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: think you can go computer and fold, which means you

228
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: have the fold, you have a regular phone, and you

229
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: have a tablet.

230
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: And you have a computer.

231
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, anyway, so especially if you're traveling, like on

232
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: the plane, like this would be really cool because you

233
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: can watch movies on it. You can get a lot

234
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: of work done on it. I just it's just a

235
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: little bulky for me, and maybe it's gonna take some

236
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: more kind of like using it to really get.

237
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: Used to that.

238
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the z Flip three. So

239
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: this is the more pocketable of the two. Like I said,

240
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: it's reminiscent of the Razor. Let's see, Samsung made a

241
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: bigger screen on the outside. The last one was pretty

242
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: much unusable. This one is much more usable, and you

243
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: can do things like check your notifications. You can take

244
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: pictures with the with the cameras on the outside, and

245
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: it flips and it's you know, it's a little bit

246
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: of a The thing that I've realized in using this

247
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: the past day or so is that it's like just

248
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: a little a couple of extra steps with this phone

249
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: because you're flipping it open, and it takes a little

250
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: bit of like thinking and thought process to flip it open.

251
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't really think it's very easy to open with

252
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: one hand like the razor.

253
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: Wise back in the day.

254
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: This is much much meteor of a device, so there's

255
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: like a lot going on. It's heavy, it's top heavy.

256
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: Well I wouldn't say it's heavy, but it's definitely top

257
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: heavy when you open it up, so you have to

258
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: be cognizant of that so you don't let it fall over.

259
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: The design is perfect, I mean, I think they did

260
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: a really nice job. I think that the goal of

261
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: this design would be that these phones would eventually fold

262
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: on top of each other in a flat way. Right now,

263
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a gap between them. And

264
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: if you notice, I haven't really talked much about the

265
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: cameras on these things because Samsung did not make a

266
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: big deal out of the cameras. The cameras are not

267
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: very they're just okay. They're not the best in class

268
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: cameras that Samsung has to offer, So they don't really

269
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: make a big deal out of the cameras because they're

270
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: just they're fine, I mean, and I'm impressed.

271
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: With the picture quality. It looks good.

272
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: I took a bunch of pictures on the little the

273
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: Little Flip yesterday and it looks nice. Or over the

274
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: past couple of days, summer it's hit or miss. You know,

275
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: some some are better than others. But I think the

276
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: iPhone overall, iPhone twelve is still a better, better device

277
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: for pictures, and probably the S twenty one Ultra. They

278
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: also announce new Galaxy smart watches that you know, there's

279
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff with these smart watches that

280
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: they have brighter displays than are designs, longer battery life,

281
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: They have a new sensor to measure body composition. Spotify

282
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: offline is coming to them. Samsung will track sleep better

283
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: than before, takes a measurement every minute, They track snoring,

284
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: they do body I said, they do body composition. They're

285
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: also gonna wear They're also gonna run Google's wear os,

286
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: which is interesting.

287
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: They're doing the same thing.

288
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: It's wear OUs by Samsung, so it's the same thing

289
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: they skin the Android for their phones and now they're

290
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: skin wear os for the watches. But overall, I think

291
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: that these where Galaxy smart watches finally seem to be

292
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: a worthy opponent to the iPhone. It just seems like

293
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: the Android side of things is really really picking up

294
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: with that. And finally, Galaxy Buds too, are their new earbuds.

295
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: These are one hundred and fifty dollars and they're smaller,

296
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: they're lighter. I love the design, they sound good, their

297
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, price is pretty good for these things. And

298
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: the only problem I found is that they just did

299
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: not stain my ears no matter what. I took them

300
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: on a run, and they just it was one of

301
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: those things where when you're running and the you have

302
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: that sensation of the earbuds like almost falling out of

303
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: your ears the whole time. That's really annoying. And that's

304
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: exactly what they felt like. So I actually had to

305
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: go home and replace them with my AirPods, which the

306
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: air POD's kind of like, I feel like they magnetically

307
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: adhere to my ears, you know, like sometimes I'll get

308
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: that sensation of them falling out, but it takes a

309
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: really long time, whereas with these Galaxy buds too, I

310
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: just kept popping them back in, and because they're touch sensitive,

311
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: every time you press them to put them back in,

312
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: you're pausing your music. Yes you can turn that feature off,

313
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: but it's one of these things where it's just, you know,

314
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't want my earbuds to be a big hassle.

315
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: I want them to be simple. I don't want to

316
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: really think about them very much. I want to concentrate

317
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: on what I'm doing and not keeping these things in

318
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: my ears.

319
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: So for those reasons.

320
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't really like the buds too, but you know,

321
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: your results may vary. I think the challenge here is,

322
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: you know you have to buy these things without putting

323
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: them in your ears. I guess you can return them

324
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: if they don't work. But that's kind of a quick

325
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: roundup of the Samsung event exciting stuff. I think these

326
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: foldables are just continuing to progress. I'm not in a

327
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: place to recommend them just yet, but would I wouldn't

328
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: have a problem with people getting the Flip or the

329
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: fold I think they're both in a place where they're

330
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: very good phones. Just know that you are getting kind

331
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: of an early technology that's not all there yet. But yes,

332
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: there are some really cool aspects to this stuff. All right,

333
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: let's get to the first question. JV says, Hey, Rich,

334
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: We're looking to upgrade from a fifty five inch television

335
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: to a seventy five inch and was wondering what would

336
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: you make the best model would you recommend? We've seen

337
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: a lot of qleds, O LEDs, Mini LEDs uhds. We

338
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: put our first fifty five inch TV thirteen years ago.

339
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: A lot has changed. It has two forty refresh, which

340
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: we especially like when watching car races. It can connect

341
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: to Wi Fi. It was about twenty five hundred dollars.

342
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of eighty inch models coming out.

343
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: Your input is always appreciated. Thank you for your time.

344
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: JV. All right, JV.

345
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: So, I mean, look, the bottom line is it sounds

346
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: like you are someone who really likes a nice TV,

347
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: a big screen TV. You want a seventy five inch.

348
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean there's a couple of sets I always recommend.

349
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: So number one.

350
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: If you're thinking about all these different display technologies, I

351
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: mean you definitely want to get a four K obviously.

352
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's like, you know, standard Now. When it

353
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: comes to q LED versus O l ED, I mean,

354
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: O LED is obviously going.

355
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 2: To be a better overall picture quality.

356
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: When it comes to the color, QLED is going to

357
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: be better than your standard LED, which you know at

358
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: this at this size, you're definitely gonna want that. Ql

359
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: ED is mostly a Samsung thing, but the Mini LED

360
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: is coming up in the world because it the way

361
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: Mini LED works is that the brightness comes from many

362
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: more places behind the TV, which means you can light

363
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: a scene better than before. So let's just say a

364
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: little tiny speck in the screen is a moon and

365
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: the rest is black. That moon would be really bright

366
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: and the rest of the screen could be really a

367
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: deep black because the mini LEDs are just lighting up

368
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: the tiny portion behind the moon, whereas with a stand

369
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: under LED set, it's you know, lighting up basically the

370
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: whole set behind it or in different zones, and so

371
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, the black might look a little bit more

372
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: washed out in the rest of the scene. So that's

373
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: a very simplified explanation as I understand it. So many

374
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: LEDs are definitely coming up in the world as something

375
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: that you probably want to get with your set. With

376
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: that said, I think that you know, if you want

377
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: the best TV, I think Sony is still going to

378
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 1: give you like the best quality overall. I think if

379
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: you want an O LEED, you got to go with

380
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: an LG. I think they're really the best. When it

381
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: comes to the oleads, I believe it's the c X

382
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: is it. Let's see here, yeah, cx O lead and

383
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: then let's see what else. And I don't even know

384
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: if they make the CX in a seventy five inch

385
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: though let's see, oh they do they make it in

386
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: seventy seven, and that's going to be three thousand bucks,

387
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

388
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: That's a little bit that you.

389
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: Probably might be able to find that cheaper somewhere.

390
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: That's on LG's website.

391
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: The other TV I really like is the TCL six series,

392
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: and I think that those are a fantastic set. They

393
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: do make them in seventy five. The only thing I

394
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: don't know is the let's see here, I don't know.

395
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow, they make it in an eight K, now,

396
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: so I mean, yeah, if you really want to get fancy,

397
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: you can go with the eight K.

398
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: Who I mean, what are you gonna watch on eight K?

399
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh, let's see do they have it

400
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 2: says variable refresh rate? It doesn't.

401
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see what the specs are for this thing

402
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: for the uh so I know you said you like that, okay, uh, okay,

403
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: refresh rate from forty eight to one twenty, So I

404
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: mean you're not gonna get that too forty But honestly,

405
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of TVs have that, to

406
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: be honest. So I mean, anyway, so I think that

407
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: the LG is the best or Sony is the best. Overall,

408
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: I think LG is the best for O LEDs. I

409
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: think that TCL is going to be the best for your.

410
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: Bang for your buck.

411
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: And then Samsung, I mean they make great QLED sets,

412
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: so I mean Samsung is always there and there's always

413
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: a promotion on those, so I think that that's a

414
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: good way to go as well.

415
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: But good luck.

416
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: I myself am looking to upgrade to a TV, a

417
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: new TV as well. So actually I'll just go into

418
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: the next story because this is the TV that I'll

419
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: probably be purchasing. So TCL I just talked about them,

420
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: you know that they make those. They kind of made

421
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: their name here in the US.

422
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: With the Roku TVs.

423
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: So TCL big brand from China, but they really have

424
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: probably one of the top selling TVs that I've seen

425
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: most recommended by everyone. I mean this TCL five series

426
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: and specifically the sixth series. I mean, so many people

427
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: just love this TV because it's a great TV. It

428
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: offers a lot of features, and the price is always right,

429
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: and it also has Roku built in, and so they

430
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: sort of made their name on selling these TVs here

431
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: in the US. And they've been very successful at it

432
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: and now which is kind of a surprise to me,

433
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: but I love it. They are now working.

434
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: With Google to make basically a Google TV version of

435
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: the same thing.

436
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: So it's like the same sets, the five series and

437
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: six series, but it is going to have Google TV

438
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: software instead of the Roku software. Now they're not getting

439
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: rid of the Roku software. You basically get to choose.

440
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: Now.

441
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: Personally nothing against Roku, but I would choose Google because

442
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: of a couple of reasons. Number one, I love the

443
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: Google software. It's basically if you had one of those

444
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: Google with Chrome Cast TVs or Chrome Cast.

445
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: With Google TV, whatever they call it.

446
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: If you have one of those, that's basically what it is,

447
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: and so you get this great personalized home screen that

448
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: what I love about Google TV is that it takes

449
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: the recommendations from across everything and puts it all on

450
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: your home screen. And so what you see when you

451
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: log onto your TV, I say log on when you

452
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: turn on your TV is a home screen filled with

453
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: all the content that A you might like and B

454
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: is streaming on your services for the most part, and

455
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: if they're not streaming, it'll tell you right below. It

456
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: how much it costs to watch that show, whereas with

457
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Apple TV and some of these other things, it's like

458
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: it's a I call it peck and shoot.

459
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: What is it? It's like a hunt. You know, you

460
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: gotta peck.

461
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: I forget what the term is, but it's like you're

462
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: pecking all around to like see things. You gotta you

463
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: gotta go into like this app and see what's on.

464
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: You got to go into that app and see what's on.

465
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: You gotta, you know, go into this and see what's

466
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: going on there and how much does it cost and

467
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: then do a comparison on Apple TV. So with this

468
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: you kind of get all the information front and center,

469
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: and that's what I really like about it. Now, the

470
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: controversial part about this TV is that it does have

471
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: a microphone built in so that you can say hey

472
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: G and do all of your smart home commands and

473
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: also just say hey G, resume what I'm watching on

474
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: Netflix or whatever, or hey G play you know, I

475
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: don't even know any of these new TV shows, but

476
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: play it on, you know, on my TV or whatever.

477
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: You just say play. You can do music, you know,

478
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: whatever you want. It's got Google assistance, so that's really cool.

479
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: The other feature that I really really like is the

480
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: ambient mode, which basically uses your Google Photos as your

481
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: screensaver on this TV. Now it says when no one

482
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: is watching TV, ambient mode. So I'm curious. I've kno

483
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: gone hands on with this thing. I'm curious if you

484
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: can set that ambient mode to basically be on twenty

485
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: four to seven, because that's what I would like. I

486
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: would like my TV to be showing my Google Photos

487
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: all the time unless I'm actually on my TV. So

488
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if there's like a timeout you can set

489
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: that would basically just leave your TV on all day

490
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: with your pictures because I love it. I mean, that's

491
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: Google Photos is just so smart, it's so great. I'm

492
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: a little biased because I pay fifty dollars a month

493
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: to use it, but you know, so I'm all in

494
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: and I just love how it surfaces great photos from

495
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: my library, and I just love the idea of this

496
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: TV turns into like a giant picture frame. And yes,

497
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: you can do the same thing with Apple. You can

498
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: do the same thing with your rote well maybe not Roku,

499
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: but you can do the same thing with your Fire TV.

500
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: And you can do the same thing with a Chrome cast,

501
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: but that generally involves either a timeout or it generally

502
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: involves a switching of an input. Like for me, I've

503
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: got my Chrome cast on my TV, but I'm using

504
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: Apple TV primarily, So anytime I want to see my

505
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: pictures as a screen saver, I have to switch to

506
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: Google TV and then it times out after like I

507
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: don't know, half an hour, and that's it.

508
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: My picture my TV goes to sleep.

509
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: So anyway, TCL five series, they have them in fifty inch,

510
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: fifty five, sixty five, and seventy five. The sixth series

511
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: is in fifty five, sixty five, and seventy five coming soon.

512
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: I've got my eye on either the sixty five or

513
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: the seventy five. The sixth series and the sixth series

514
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: is thirteen hundred bucks at best Buy, And so that's

515
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: a pretty good deal for the fifty sixty five inch TV.

516
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: The seventy five is not available. Oh let's see, do

517
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: they have a price yet? Oh wow, Yeah, they don't

518
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: have a price yet for that one. But that is

519
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: going to be an exclusive at best Buy at least

520
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: for launch. All right, let's get to the next question. Hey, Rich,

521
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: I watch you all the time on Katla, I'm hoping

522
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: you respond. I looked online and then thought to myself, seriously,

523
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: the only opinion I would trust is rich I.

524
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,239
Speaker 2: Well, thank you.

525
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm a Samsung user and I haven't till Friday to

526
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: migrate all my pictures since they're closing their cloud. They

527
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: are suggesting one drive, but I've read the reviews and

528
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm really iffy about sending all my pictures and videos.

529
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: There is there a service you would recommend? Or should

530
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: I just go with one drive and take my chances?

531
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: Or do I just move my stuff to SD cards

532
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: and store them that way. I'm not too tech savvy, therefore,

533
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: I am lost. Please help? Thank you, Christina. Well, Christina, yes,

534
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: you are referring to the big warning that has been

535
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: on all Samsung devices for so long. Now move to

536
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: one drive. Move to one drive. Let me see, I've

537
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: got this Sam song right here. Let's see what the

538
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: exact messages.

539
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

540
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: So I go to my pictures and it says start

541
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: syncing with one drive. Keep your pictures and videos safe

542
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: and available on all your devices by automatically adding them

543
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: to the cloud. I click get started, and I got

544
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: to sign in, and there's my roadblock. But so what

545
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: do I recommend. I mean, yes, you can easily go

546
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: with one drive and that's gonna be just fine. But

547
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: I think there's better solutions out there, because you know,

548
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: there's one drive is fine, but it's primarily like a Microsoft.

549
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: It's not.

550
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: It's gotten better at the photo situation, but I don't

551
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: think it was built primarily four photos. Yes, you can

552
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: store them there, but I think and it'll be fine

553
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: if you want it the easiest way that's integrated with Samsung,

554
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: then go with the go with the one drive. I

555
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: mean that's you don't have to do anything extra except

556
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: just sign in and sign up and you'll be fine.

557
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: The storage for the one drive right now is five gigabytes,

558
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: so and then you can at plans that start at

559
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: two dollars a month, So one hundred gigs is two

560
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: dollars a month. Five gigs is free, and you can

561
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: pay seventy dollars for the year to get a terabyte,

562
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: which you may not need just yet. The other option,

563
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: obviously is Google Photos that gives you fifteen gigabytes. That's

564
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: what I would recommend because I just think Google Photos,

565
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: the organization of Google Photos is what I think is

566
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: the benefit of it over anything else. I mean, if

567
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: you just want to back up your pictures, there's a

568
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: million ways to do that.

569
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: But I think if you.

570
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: Want your pictures organized and searchable and just the AI

571
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: that they have is just so ahead of everyone else,

572
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: I think that that's the way to go. The other option,

573
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: if you want, you can try something if you just

574
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: want pure backup that's really inexpensive and unlimited. You can

575
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: do Eyedrive Photos and that's that's ten bucks for the

576
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: entire year, and that will back up all the photos

577
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: and videos on your device in full resolution for ten

578
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: dollars a year. You or me correctly, it's that's it.

579
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: It's one time, one time fee of ten bucks a year,

580
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: so you can store as many as you want. And

581
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: we did a story with them, I Drive Photos. It's

582
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: called and it seems legit. Uh, you can do that.

583
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: There's no real like, there's no real AI or searching.

584
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: I mean they may add features as you go along,

585
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: but it's basically just a way to quickly back up

586
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: your pictures, you know. The other option is that you

587
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: can use Amazon if you you know, don't have too

588
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: many pictures or if you don't have too many videos,

589
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: I should say Amazon Photos will let you back up unlimited,

590
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: but it's you have to be a prime member of Amazon,

591
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: which a lot of people are. And they also do

592
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: not include more than five gigabytes of video, and so

593
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: if you take a lot of videos and you go

594
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: over that limit, you're gonna have to pay and it's

595
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: like sixty bucks a year whatever they're you know they

596
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: So I think I think overall the best is something

597
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: like Google Photos because you get a lot of features

598
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: for that, even if you have to start.

599
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: Paying over the fifteen gigs.

600
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: But the SD card thing, A lot of people like that,

601
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: but I think it's way too silly when we live

602
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: in a world of cloud storage, Like why why have

603
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: to remember to plug something into your phone every you know,

604
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: every so often to back it up. I mean, yes,

605
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: you can save a lot of money doing that, but

606
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 1: you also need to back up that drive as well.

607
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: So for all those reasons, I think that Google Photos

608
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: is probably your best. And I would say maybe something

609
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: like the Amazon definitely look into that if you don't

610
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of videos, and the Eyedrive if you

611
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: just want something that's really simple that'll back up your

612
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: stuff but not really have to think about a lot.

613
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk Apple. The new iPhones kind of

614
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: sound like a snoozer. This is Mark German from Bloomberg Technology.

615
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: This is the guy with the inside scoop on all

616
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: things Apple all the time. He's got a good source

617
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: inside Apple. But people are telling him that the new

618
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: handsets are kind of not that exciting. We didn't expect

619
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: exciting handsets. This is a an off year.

620
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: You know.

621
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: Apple is usually on a every other year cadence with

622
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: their with their major upgrades.

623
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: And so this time around, video is gonna.

624
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: Have portrait mode, you know, it blurs the background. It's

625
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: gonna have a new pro res mode which lets professional

626
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: video takers kind of affect the video more so later

627
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: after the fact once they shoot it, which eh, I

628
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: don't need that.

629
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: Let's see what else? What else? What else?

630
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: Same sizes five point four, six point one, six point one,

631
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: six point seven. That's kind of boring too, same thing.

632
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: They're using, the same exact outside. They're just gonna change

633
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: things inside a little bit faster, a fifteen chip, smaller notch,

634
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: new refresh rate, so it's gonna be faster refresh rate,

635
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: which I know a lot of the techies like but

636
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna do the same thing that I've

637
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: seen a lot of these phone manufacturers do, where it's

638
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: a variable refresh rate, where it just kind of kicks

639
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: in when it thinks it needs to.

640
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: Launch.

641
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: Is going to be virtual, and phones might be delayed

642
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: to October again this year like they were last year.

643
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: But all these things, I mean, I think that the

644
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: iPhone twelve and twelve pro are pretty much the perfect

645
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: phones at this point. And the iPhone whatever that's going

646
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: to be called thirteen or twelve S is there's no

647
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: way it's the fourteen. That's just there's no way they're

648
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: doing that. I'm not gonna skip thirteen, but I would.

649
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: I could see them doing twelve s and then fourteen.

650
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

651
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal is with the thirteen

652
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: number around the world. Maybe it's not as U I

653
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe people don't care. Maybe the superstition thing

654
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter with phone numbers. But maybe they'll go

655
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: twenty like Samsung did. But that's kind of what's happening

656
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: with the iPhones. I don't think it's that exciting, but

657
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: you know it's there. It's gonna happen and I don't

658
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: really see the big need to upgrade. I think for

659
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: most people the fact that the the older phones will

660
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: go down in price will be better.

661
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: Now.

662
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: Apple could do the tricky thing that they've done in

663
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: the past, where they stop selling the iPhone twelve lineup

664
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: and they just make you choose between eleven and this

665
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: new model. I hope they don't do that, and I

666
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: don't expect them to do that because the twelve is

667
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: such a good phone that I and it's the first

668
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: phone that has five G I don't think they would

669
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: make people step down to the eleven if they want

670
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: to save some money on the previous model. Next question,

671
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: mister Demiro, I have this pop up that keeps coming

672
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: up whenever I'm on any of my apps on Android.

673
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: It must be a bug.

674
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: Do you know any good programs in the app store

675
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: that will help me get rid of this pop up ad?

676
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, Luise. Yeah, Luis, you definitely have an app

677
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: on your phone that is serving up this ad. It's

678
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: called malware, and you downloaded or somehow something got downloaded

679
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: to your phone that is serving.

680
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: Up this advertisement.

681
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: And because you're telling me it happens on any ad,

682
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's coming from one specific.

683
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: You know it's not happening in one specific app.

684
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: So what I would recommend you need to do is

685
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: go through your phone. Go through There's a couple of

686
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: things you want to do. First off, you want to

687
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: swipe up or just go into your you know your

688
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: what do they call that with all the all the

689
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: apps in the bottom. You're not your home screen, your

690
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: app library, I know those Apple calls it?

691
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: What do they call it? On Android?

692
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: Anyway, you want to swipe to see all of your apps. Okay,

693
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: So however you do that, whether you have to click

694
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: a button or just swipe up, or however you see

695
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: all of your apps. Go through there and look through

696
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: every single app, and if you don't like an app

697
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: you don't recognize it, press a hold on it until

698
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: you get something that says uninstalled.

699
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: Or if you're on Samsung, you'll see a little eye.

700
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: Click that eye and then you can look for uninstalled.

701
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: And so that's what you want to do with all

702
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: those apps. So right now I'm looking at this Samsung.

703
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: It's got one, it's got Samsung apps. It's got calendar, camera, clock, contacts, Facebook,

704
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: Galaxy Store, game Launcher, Internet, Samsung Free tips, and YouTube music.

705
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: There's nothing really on there that would be serving up

706
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: rogue ads. So if you see stuff like games, like

707
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, I would even go so far as to

708
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: one by one. If you have a bunch of games

709
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: that you play on your phone, and you know you would,

710
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: I would put them in a list of order of

711
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: what I really want to play to the least I play,

712
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: and start picking them off at the end. So the

713
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: ones you least play, uninstall, restart your phone, and then

714
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: see if those ads keep coming up. Now, if once

715
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: you go through all of those things and the ads

716
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: still come up, then you want to go into Google Play,

717
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 1: go into your tap your little icon for your name,

718
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: and then look at your list of apps, and then

719
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: uninstall any app there that you don't recognize if there's

720
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: more there. And then finally you want to go into

721
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: your settings, settings and then apps. And so let's see

722
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: where are the apps on this phone on Samsung. It

723
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: is under I don't see, oh there it is. It's

724
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: under apps.

725
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: Duh.

726
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: So it's under apps. And then you can see all

727
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: of your apps, and there's a way to sort them

728
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: by name, size, last used, and last updated. So if

729
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: you go through all those apps, and same thing. You

730
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: see a lot more apps that are not listed on

731
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: your main screen, and so you can go through there,

732
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: tap an app and you can just say for the

733
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: apps that are installed, this phone doesn't really have any

734
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: extra apps. Okay, YouTube music, it'll say uninstalled at the end,

735
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: so at the bottom. So I would go through and

736
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: do that for all of your apps and restart your phone,

737
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully those ads stop.

738
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: Now. If that does not work, you got to do

739
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 2: the nuclear option, which is to format your entire phone.

740
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: So back up your phone, use Google one to back

741
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: it up, and then basically or Samsung, whatever your phone is,

742
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, back it up, make sure you've got everything

743
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: backed up, and then you can go in to.

744
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: Let's see is it general management? General management on Android?

745
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: Just look for the reset you want to do reset

746
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: and it's factory data reset, and you want to make

747
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: sure that you get everything cleared off that phone, and

748
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: then that is that is the final option, and once

749
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: you do that, you will be able to hopefully surf

750
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: the web and do whatever you're doing without these ads

751
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: popping up. Because it is definitely some sort of malware

752
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: that is triggering these ads and believe me. On Android,

753
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: it's it's very possible that that thing kind of happens

754
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: on iOS doesn't really happen as often. It mostly happens

755
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: when you're surfing the web because there could be you know,

756
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: ads that are serving up pop ups and things like that.

757
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: But generally on the iPhone, unless it's jailbroken, you can't

758
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: really ads like there. There's not an app that can

759
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: sit there and serve up things when you're in other apps.

760
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way. Everything is sort of sandboxed.

761
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of what's happening. Hopefully you get

762
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: that figured out and let me know if you do.

763
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

764
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: This was a segment I did on KTLA about Google searches,

765
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: which was pretty popular. You know, you take for granted

766
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: that you might know how to search Google. We've all

767
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: been doing it for so long now, probably like what

768
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: twenty three years. Oh my gosh, Google started in nineteen

769
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: ninety eight.

770
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: Wow.

771
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: So I talked about some of these ways that you

772
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: can Actually when Google started in nineteen ninety eight, you

773
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: probably weren't using it as much because we still had

774
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: these other search engines. Let me see if you remember

775
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: some of these let me let me bring this up. Okay,

776
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: Alta Vista. Do you remember that one? Do you remember Excite?

777
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I used to think Alta Vista all

778
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: these hot bot do you remember that one? Oh my gosh,

779
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: do you remember info Seek? Do you remember Lycos? How

780
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: about Desia? How about Yahoo?

781
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean we know that one.

782
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: Amazon. Remember they used to have a search engine. I

783
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: think it was called Amazon nine or something, or a

784
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: nine open directory, and then E groups. I don't remember those,

785
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: but I mean I used to think that, like you know,

786
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: so probably when Google first came out, we were still

787
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: using some of these alternatives.

788
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 2: Yahoo I never really used. It wasn't very good.

789
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: Excite. I'm trying to remember if it was Excite or

790
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: Alta Vista that I liked. One of them was better,

791
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: but I can't remember at this point.

792
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: But those.

793
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking that Google kind of took off even

794
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: though it started in nineteen ninety eight, probably didn't take

795
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: off until a little bit later, because you know, it

796
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: took a while for people to switch and say, oh,

797
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: come on, you can't get better than Yahoo. Who can

798
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: make a better search engine? Well, sure enough, Google pretty

799
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: much did because they put everyone else out of business.

800
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: So how to search Google to find things that are

801
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, more relevant, to find things faster, to really look.

802
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: Google is really good at search and it's very fast,

803
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: and you really don't have to know how to do

804
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: this stuff. But if you really are looking to narrow

805
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: down things and really looking for specifics, then some of

806
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: these things will work. So Number one, the minus sign

807
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: like a hyphen. So if you type in a search

808
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: term and then another search term and the minus sign,

809
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: you know Google will will not include any results with

810
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: that term. So let's say you put pizza minus pepperoni

811
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: or pizza toppings minus pepperoni.

812
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 2: It will give you a bunch of pizza toppings that are.

813
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: Not pepperoni, right, because Pepperoni's probably gonna come up first ninety.

814
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 2: Nine percent of the time. Quotes.

815
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: This is one that you probably know about. If you

816
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: put something in quotes, it's gonna find that exact phrase.

817
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for something really specific, like a

818
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: part number or an old gadget that you had and

819
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: you want to see just that exact thing, put it

820
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: in in quotes. If you want to see results from

821
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: a specific website, you can say a search term and

822
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: then you type in site colon the website. So, for instance,

823
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: if you want to see all the times that I've

824
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: mentioned Samsung on ktla, you can just type in Samsung

825
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: site colon ktla dot com and it will only bring

826
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: up my posts that I've made on ktla dot com

827
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: that are about Samsung. And that's a good one. Now,

828
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: let me just give you a quick tip for searching anything.

829
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: If you're ever looking for something that I mentioned, you

830
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: don't even really have to do that what I do

831
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: whenever someone's like, rich, what was that TCL phone you

832
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: mentioned two years ago? And I'm like, let me see.

833
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: Was it the TCL ten series?

834
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: Let me let me see?

835
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: So I type in TCL whatever the keyword is KTLA DeMuro,

836
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: So TCL KTLA DeMuro and you might want to put

837
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: TCL phone. But the first thing that comes up TCL

838
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: makers to TV maker. Tcl's two hundred and fifty dollars

839
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: smartphone is actually great. So again, it's just a very

840
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: easy way to find anything that I've mentioned.

841
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: Now, this one's really good, especially for the kiddos.

842
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: If you're looking for let's say, coloring sheets or like

843
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 1: math work sheets. I don't know if you've ever tried

844
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: to search these things, but if you do, it's a nightmare.

845
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: Ninety nine point nine percent of the time when you

846
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: search for something like, you know, multiplication times tables PDF,

847
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: you will get a whole bunch of random stuff. And

848
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: you know, it might be like you know a lot

849
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: of images that you click, and you go into these

850
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: images and you click, and it's a never ending circle

851
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: of nothingness. It'll bring you to Pinterest, it'll bring you

852
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: to these websites they are trying to sell you stuff.

853
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: So what I find is that if you say file

854
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: type PDF at the end of your search, then you

855
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: will get exactly what you're looking for. And so let's

856
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: try that same thing again, multiplication tape times tables, and

857
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: I'll put file type PDF.

858
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: Now, Oh my gosh, so much better.

859
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: If you look at all the results, there's a little

860
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: PDF indicator and every single one of these results are

861
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: an actual downloadable PDF. That is just fantastic. So in

862
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: my book, that's a huge win. It's just so much better.

863
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: Look at I found exactly what I was looking for.

864
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: This would have taken me so much longer to find

865
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: when if I was doing it the other way. Actually,

866
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: in fact, I'm gonna download this for my kids and

867
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: they need to. It's funny they don't really, I don't.

868
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: I think they still do, like the memorization for math

869
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: for the one to one hundred, but it's they do

870
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: things a lot differently. I know, if you're a parent,

871
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: this is this is old news. But the way they

872
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: do math these days is very different than when I learned.

873
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: So my kids are always like, yeah, Dad, you're you're

874
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: teaching me the wrong way. So I know, but I

875
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: still try to force it upon them. I'm like, this

876
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: is the way it was done.

877
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 2: Okay. Uh. My favorite search term in the world.

878
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: And I got to give a hat tip to my

879
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: brother Justin for this one because I used this in

880
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: the past, but I didn't use it as much as

881
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: when he kind of sent me something about it and

882
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, you're right, that is the

883
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: best search term. So he really got me to use

884
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: it more often than I did naturally. But now I

885
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: use it pretty much on a daily basis. And you're

886
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: ready for this. It is the best, uh, And I'm

887
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: sharing quite possibly what is the most key knowledge you

888
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: need to know about searching Google?

889
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 2: And are you ready?

890
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: I wish I had my drum roll, but it is

891
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: the term versus. So if you are searching for just

892
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: about anything, Let's say you see an ad on Instagram

893
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: for all birds. Those are the sneakers that I like.

894
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: Go into Google and you're like, oh, I wonder what

895
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: people buy besides all birds. So type in instead of

896
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: waiting for, you know, an ad to pop up, which

897
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 1: is something similar. Just type in all birds versus vs

898
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: and then just wait, press the space bar and just

899
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: wait and let autocomplete do its magic, and autocomplete will

900
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: show you all birds versus Rothi's all birds versus Adams,

901
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: all birds versus VESI, all birds versus ultra boost And

902
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: so I don't know if that last one or sneakers,

903
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: but that is a such a.

904
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 2: Great, great, great search.

905
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: So let's say you're thinking of going to Paso Robols

906
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, where else do people go? Paso

907
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: rob l e s versus Oh versus Napa versus San

908
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: Luis Obispo. Or is it San Luis Obispo versus Sonoma

909
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: versus Santa Barbara? So I mean, these are It's just

910
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: it works with anything. Let's say you got a meal kit.

911
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: You're thinking, I'm getting a little tired of my blue

912
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: apron and you say, what else is out there? Blue

913
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: apron versus? Don't You don't even have to search. You

914
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: just type blue apron versus and then here it comes,

915
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: Hello chef, all right, sorry, yeah, hello fresh, Hello chef, Green, chef, sunbasket,

916
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: every plate, dinnerly gobble. It is such a great search.

917
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: It is so useful.

918
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: And if you search rich DeMuro versus, uh, it actually

919
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: comes up as Rich DeMuro versus Dug DeMuro. And this

920
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: is a guy who reviews cars for a living, much

921
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: more prominent than I am. But he is a big,

922
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: big car guy, and a lot of people ask me

923
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: if we're related, and I don't think we are. But anyway,

924
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: the versus search, definitely try it. The other couple searches

925
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: are reverse search. So if you go to images dot

926
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: Google dot com and you grab drag a picture in there,

927
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: Google will find similar images on the web. This is

928
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: handy if you're researching just about anything, you know, I mean,

929
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: it's just a great search. One example I can give

930
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: is if you're dating, and not that I am, but

931
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: if you you know, find someone's profile picture, you can

932
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: drag it in there and you can see some of

933
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: the other places their.

934
00:45:58,840 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 2: Profile picture might be.

935
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: You can narrow down results by time, So once you

936
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: make a search, there's a little drop box, so you

937
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: can hit the tools drop box and then you'll see

938
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: a selector for time. That's handy if you're trying to

939
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: find something that was just posted recently and you want

940
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: to exclude other stuff. This one's interesting if you want

941
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: to find stuff that was just posted to social media.

942
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: So let's say you want to look at the beyond chicken,

943
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: beyond chicken, beyond orange chicken, right, and you want to

944
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: see what people are saying about it on Instagram. Just

945
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: type beyond orange chicken at Instagram and now most of

946
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: the results this one's not perfect, but most of the

947
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: results will be from Instagram or Facebook. You can do

948
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: at Facebook, you can do at Twitter.

949
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: You know.

950
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: So it's just an easy way to kind of restrict

951
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: the results just to social media, which is also really cool.

952
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: Let's see anything else that's about it. So I thought

953
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: those were search tips were great. I presented them on KTLA.

954
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: That story did really well, so that was a fun

955
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: one to share. I love doing segments like that. Oh

956
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: we got no phone calls.

957
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 2: All right?

958
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: Ken says a comment on your Ring Doorbell segment. By

959
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: the time I Ring Doorbell used to connect, I would

960
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: miss seeing the delivery truck, the delivery person at my

961
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: front door, and the picture of the delivered package. By

962
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: the time I ring connected, all I saw was an

963
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: image of the porch poacher driving away and a stolen Corolla.

964
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: Oh wow, this's actually happened to you.

965
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: I think I found the solution for slow connections that

966
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: you might want to share with your fellow oh my

967
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: fellow listeners. Okay, Ring has a companion app I downloaded

968
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: from the app Store called rapid Ring, which made a

969
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: significant connection difference in the connection time. Just thought you

970
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: might like to know. Oh, okay, So I looked up

971
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: this rapid Ring app and I was like, I can't

972
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: really recommend a third party app that connects to your

973
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: ring because that's like a privacy night mare.

974
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 2: But when I looked up this rapid.

975
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: Ring app, sneaky, sneaky Ring. So this rapid Ring app

976
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: is a light version of the Ring app and it

977
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: enables a live view faster, So that's interesting. It's a

978
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: companion app to the original Ring app that allows for

979
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: a faster response to notifications. Or to enable a live

980
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: view faster. You can use the Ring app and the

981
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: rapid Ring app in conjunction and don't have to worry

982
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: about interference. Just use the same email and password that

983
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: you use for your regular Ring app. Huh, so do

984
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: you need the regular Ring app? I don't know. I

985
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: need to see. I'm gonna trick this out because here's

986
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: the thing. So it's available for iOS and Android and

987
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: it's basically a light version. So I don't know if

988
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: you've seen the Ring app lately, but it's gotten.

989
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 2: A little bit bloated.

990
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: They've built sort of the Neighbors functionality into their they

991
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: built you know these companies, they once they have something

992
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: that's successful, they try to build a million and one

993
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: features into it. Because you know, Ring tried to get

994
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: you to download the neighbors app that didn't really work.

995
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: Neighbors is sort of their version of Nextdoor that didn't

996
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: really work.

997
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 2: So what do they do?

998
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: They say, Oh, actually, we're just going to build it

999
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: into the main app. And this happens all the time

1000
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: with mobile apps. Once they have a hit, it's like

1001
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: we've got the initial download, now let's just build one

1002
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: thousand and one features into this app because people will

1003
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: come here and they'll use it well uh uh ah,

1004
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: And most of the time people just still use the

1005
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: core functionality and it takes them a while to discover

1006
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: anything outside that core functionality. In Ring's case, I guess

1007
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: they realize that all this extra functionality sometimes detracts from

1008
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,439
Speaker 1: the things that people want to use the most, which

1009
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: is just answering the dang doorbell.

1010
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 2: Right.

1011
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: You just want to see when someone rings your bell,

1012
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: and you want that live view immediately. You don't want

1013
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: to wait an hour to sift through a thousand feature

1014
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: to kind of see what's going on.

1015
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna check this out.

1016
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna download it and see if I can use

1017
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: it by itself because I only really use the Ring

1018
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: app for the live view and also to see my

1019
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: I guess to see all the Ring cameras I have.

1020
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it doesn't work with all the

1021
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: different Ring cameras. Like I love the Ring cameras on

1022
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: my Ring app. They're all on the same page, and

1023
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 1: so I think that that's like I love just opening

1024
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: up my dashboard. Well, let's see what else is on

1025
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: this app. Okay, So you've got neighbors you've got devices,

1026
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: you've got history, you've got settings, you've got control center,

1027
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: what's new, neighbors deals.

1028
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so.

1029
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: Many different things, lights, history, chimes, locks, water valve, thermostat delivery,

1030
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, so many things when all you really

1031
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: want to see is your cameras.

1032
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: So thank you. That's a great tip. Great tip.

1033
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: Can so if you're trying to get a faster connection

1034
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: to your ring video doorbell, check out the rapid Ring app.

1035
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: It is official, it's available for iOS and Android, and

1036
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: there you have it, all right. I mentioned this earlier

1037
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: in the show. Twitter has got a little bit of

1038
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: a redesign. There is definitely something different. This is according

1039
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: to a cnet article. But if you've been using Twitter,

1040
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: you noticed things have changed just a little bit. The

1041
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: number one thing I noticed was the font. It's a

1042
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: brand new font and it's kind of kind of strange.

1043
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: It's like, it's very classy looking, and the specific name

1044
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: for the font is called.

1045
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 2: Chirp.

1046
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: They designed their own font. In the past, according to

1047
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: cn AT, the company has used sf pro, Roboto, and Helvetica.

1048
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: New Twitter also said all Western language text aligns to

1049
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: the left, a change that should make it easier to

1050
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: read as you're scrolling through. Now I'm trying to figure

1051
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: out did Twitter not align to the left when like

1052
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: what I always thought Twitter was aligned to the left?

1053
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 2: Am I missing something? But I've got the chain. It

1054
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 2: looks fine.

1055
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think that the uh

1056
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: the I don't know. It just looks it looks a

1057
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: little bit different. It looks a little bit different. I mean,

1058
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: the font is definitely a change, and I can't say

1059
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: whether I like it or not. Seen that had a

1060
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: headline that apparently some people are getting headaches from it,

1061
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: but I don't know. The site colors are also now

1062
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: higher contrast and less blue, so I noticed that photos

1063
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: and videos stand out more. There's also fewer great backgrounds

1064
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: and divider lines, so there's increased space that makes things

1065
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: easier to read. Also, one thing I did notice, when

1066
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: you go to follow someone, it used to be in blue,

1067
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: like big blue bold when you look at someone's profile

1068
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: whether you're following them, and that's gone. Now it's just

1069
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: kind of let me find a person that I'm not following. Okay,

1070
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: so now when you're not following them, it's in black,

1071
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: and then when you follow them it's just clear, which

1072
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: is kind of weird. I don't like that, but those

1073
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: are the changes. If you notice them, great, If you didn't,

1074
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: you'll definitely notice them now that I mentioned them. I mean,

1075
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: it's one of these things everyone's always up in arms about,

1076
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, changes to anything, but as soon as they

1077
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: happen after a couple months, you just kind of forget

1078
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: about it.

1079
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: All. Right.

1080
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: Let's see, Hey, Rich, I just bought a brand new

1081
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: TV that was on sale this is Bob for a

1082
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: ridiculous price at best Buy, and I want to know

1083
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: what your thoughts are on purchasing the five year extended

1084
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: warranty for two hundred and fifty dollars. Do you think

1085
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: it's worth it? Samsung Class eight eight H series O

1086
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: LED four k UHD Smart Android TV XBR fifty five

1087
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: A eight h at best Buy. Got it yesterday for

1088
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred dollars.

1089
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 2: A Bob, Bob, Bob.

1090
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: What do I think about extended warranties? I think they

1091
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: make a lot of money for best Buy, They make

1092
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot of money for Apple, they make a lot

1093
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: of money for Samsung. They make a lot of money

1094
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: for everyone. Now, when it comes to your phone, I'm not.

1095
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 2: Gonna judge you.

1096
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 1: If you want to buy an extended warranty, that's just fine.

1097
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 2: I get it. It's expensive, it's a lot of extra money.

1098
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: I would I personally would rather see you take that

1099
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: fifteen or thirty or whatever amount they're charging you every

1100
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: month and put it into a savings account and you'll

1101
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: be surprised. By the time you drop your phone, you'll

1102
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: have a couple hundred bucks in there, and you can

1103
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: get it fixed by just paying for the repair outright.

1104
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's no there's no deductible because

1105
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: you know you don't have to pay for that. You're

1106
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: just paying for the whole thing. But you have that money.

1107
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: So that's the way I like to do things.

1108
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 2: Now.

1109
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: With a TV, I'll be honest. I mean, let's be

1110
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: let's face it. We put our TV on the wall.

1111
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: It sits there. We don't move it. It's not being

1112
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 1: shuffled around. It's not going in and out of our pocket.

1113
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: It's not moving around. These TVs are built like tanks.

1114
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: The two TVs in my house, one's about seven years old,

1115
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: one's about eight years old. So I mean, they're just

1116
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: they don't really break. Now, yes, I can say all

1117
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: this and Bob, you might not purchase the warranty and

1118
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: you might have your TV crap out in the next

1119
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: two years. But now, if it's in the year, it's

1120
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: going to be covered under a standard warranty. If you

1121
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: buy a TV at Costco, I think they extend that

1122
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: to two years. At Best Buy they don't do that.

1123
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 2: But the reality is.

1124
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty dollars on top of a thirteen

1125
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: hundred dollars device is nearly a twenty percent surcharge. So

1126
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: if you think about it, if Best Buy handed you

1127
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: a coupon for twenty percent on top of this TV,

1128
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: would you use it?

1129
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 2: I think not.

1130
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: Now yes, you could say, rich, well, I'm getting five

1131
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: years of worry free time.

1132
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: Well number one. The first year is included, so it's

1133
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: really only four years.

1134
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: Number two. You know there might be a deductible. I'm

1135
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: not really sure how Best Buys warranties work, but anytime

1136
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: that I've used you know, when I bought my house,

1137
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: you know they had this thing you had to get

1138
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: this like home warranty, and oh my gosh, when you

1139
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: had to get in a clients repaired under the home

1140
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: warranty number one, it was.

1141
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 2: Like an eighty dollars deductible. Number two, they sent the.

1142
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: Guy who could care less about repairing your stuff because

1143
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,479
Speaker 1: he was doing a thousand of these in a day,

1144
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: and so you know he'd do the little flap in

1145
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: the toilet eighty bucks please, and it took forever to

1146
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: get an appointment. So I kind of like the free

1147
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: market here. If you know, if your TV breaks, you

1148
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: can bring it into a store, you can bring it

1149
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: into best Buy, geek Squad and the repair might be

1150
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: less than two hundred and fifty.

1151
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: Dollars if you ever need this.

1152
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: And by the time you buy these extended warranties and

1153
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: all the little gadgets that you purchased a Sono speaker here,

1154
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: Bluetooth speaker there, your iPhone, you're whatever, you get pair

1155
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 1: of headphones. They try to sell you on everything. You

1156
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 1: buy it best Buy, they try to sell you on

1157
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 1: this extended warranty. And you're at the checkout and they're like, hey,

1158
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: this bag of twizzlers you bought, would you like to

1159
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: insure it for a year for one dollar and twenty

1160
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:54,720
Speaker 1: five cents.

1161
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 2: You're like, no, I just.

1162
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: Bought a bag of twizzlers for three dollars. Why would

1163
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: I pay two dollars to insure it? Now, I'm just kidding.

1164
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: They don't actually offer it to you one of the twizzlers,

1165
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. You buy a coffee

1166
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: maker for one hundred bucks, They're like, hey, do you

1167
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: want to protect this thing for five years? For twelve

1168
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 1: fifty sounds like a great idea. You're like, oh, twelve

1169
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: to fifty, big deal. That's no big deal. It's twelve

1170
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: dollars and fifty cents. But think about it. That is

1171
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: twelve point five percent surcharge on top of that device.

1172
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: And when push comes to shove, if you ever need

1173
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: to fix that coffee maker, send it back in.

1174
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 2: It's going to be a hassle.

1175
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: You probably have to pay some sort of deductible and

1176
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: you're dealing with a company that does not care about you.

1177
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm not talking best Buy. I'm talking about the warranty company.

1178
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: It's just a nightmare. You're on their terms. Whereas you

1179
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: can sit there in a year and a half and say, ugh,

1180
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: I bought this coffee maker a year and a half ago.

1181
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: Do I really want to send it out to Iowa

1182
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: for repair? Do I really want to bring it into

1183
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: best Buy? I don't know, maybe they just swap it

1184
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: out a Best Buy. And you know, I'm totally wrong

1185
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: about this, but I just feel like these extended warranties

1186
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: have gotten so crazy, and I think that the only

1187
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: one I'm not gonna recommend it, but the only one

1188
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: I would recommend is if you're gonna get one. I

1189
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: think that the cell phone is permissible because it's in

1190
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: your pocket, it's all the time. Maybe a laptop if

1191
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: it makes you feel better. But a TV, come on,

1192
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 1: it just sits there and it does its job, and

1193
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: it basically does its job for a very long time.

1194
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: So for that reason, Bob, the long answer to your

1195
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: question is no, I would.

1196
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: Not do that.

1197
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's just get to a couple

1198
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: things before the show is over. Norton is Norton LifeLock

1199
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: is buying a VAST. So wow, there goes the recommendation

1200
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: that I used to make all the time. I used

1201
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: to recommend a VAST and AVG as free software to.

1202
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 2: Protect your computer. That's going away.

1203
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: I guess, well, I don't know if it's going away,

1204
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: but now Norton LifeLock owns it, and Norton their business

1205
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: is selling subscriptions to these to these software that that

1206
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: protects your computer. So I thought a VAST and AVG

1207
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: were a nice alternative. But now Norton LifeLock is purchasing

1208
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: in a deal worth more than eight billion dollars, so

1209
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. They didn't really elaborate

1210
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: on what they're going to do with the free software

1211
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: that a VAST and AVG offers, but I just figured

1212
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: i'd let you know because that could change. If you

1213
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: got one of these displays, one of these Nest hubs,

1214
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: you can now see air quality information on the ambient screen.

1215
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: So it's going to show the air quality index on

1216
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: the clock widget for the clock and weather widget for

1217
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: US users, or you can also ask hey G, what's

1218
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: the air quality near me. You can also get alerts

1219
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: when the air quality drops to unhealthy levels. In Los Angeles,

1220
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: this is a major problem. Air quality is often horrendous,

1221
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: especially if you want a run out side or do

1222
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: anything that requires breathing in a lot of air outside,

1223
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: which is pretty much living. So I think this is

1224
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: a smart thing to have this on your smart display

1225
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: because here, for me, there's two things I look at

1226
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: on my Google Nest every day when I want to

1227
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: take a run, well, only one thing, I guess there

1228
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: is two things. I look at the time, and I

1229
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: look at the weather. And if the weather is like

1230
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: hitting ninety five to one hundred, I'm out. Anything under

1231
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: ninety five I'll pretty much still run. But now I

1232
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: think the air quality is a smart thing to include

1233
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: because it's on a scale of zero to five hundred,

1234
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: and then higher values mean the worst air. And there's

1235
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: colors good, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, very unhealthy,

1236
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: and hazardous. Especially with all of the wildfires we've been

1237
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: having around here, the air quality has been pretty pretty bad.

1238
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: So good for you Nest for putting this on there,

1239
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: and Google it will be rolling out over the coming weeks.

1240
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: Google loves to roll things out over weeks for a time.

1241
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: It's so it takes. When you're waiting for something, it

1242
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: seems like you forget about it before it finally makes

1243
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: it to your device. All right, finally, let's do one

1244
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: last question before we go here. Nancy Rights, Hey, rich

1245
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: I love to watch you on KTLA. What is the

1246
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: easiest way to port text from a Motorola Z three

1247
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: to a new phone which will also.

1248
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 2: Be an Android?

1249
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nancy. Two recommendations. The first is Google One.

1250
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: They recently added text messages. It's a freeway to back up.

1251
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: You just install Google one the app on your phone.

1252
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: It will suck up all the text messages from your

1253
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: old phone and bring them to your new phone. The

1254
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: other one I like is called SMS Backup and Restore.

1255
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: This will do the same thing, except it's even easier.

1256
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: You can export to variety of places, whether that is

1257
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: a drop box, whether that is Google Drive, whether that's

1258
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: an SD card, whether that's an email to yourself. But

1259
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: you can simply simply back up and restore these text

1260
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: messages from one phone to another. It is dropped dead simple.

1261
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: And I paid the five bucks to get the plus.

1262
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't really know what that gives you, but you know,

1263
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: if you think that this is worthwhile, maybe go for

1264
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: the five bucks. And I think maybe that gives you

1265
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: automatic backups at a regular time, so if you want

1266
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:14,919
Speaker 1: to continue your backups regularly, you can do that. Well,

1267
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: that sound does mean it is the end of the show.

1268
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: That's going to do it for this episode. If you

1269
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: would like to submit a question for me to answer,

1270
