Speaker 1: That will get your message to my screen. We got

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: a couple of guests this week. Peter Kafka, chief correspondent

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: at Business Insider, is going to break down that whole

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: big deal between Netflix and Warner Brothers, and now Paramount's

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: trying to squeeze in there as well. Later, we've got

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: Nick Merrill, he's gonna explain he's got a new carrier,

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: new wireless carrier they just launched. It's called Freely pH

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: R E E L I Freely like speak Freely. It's

25
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: a privacy first carrier sign up. I think they only

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: require a ZIP code. That's it. That's interesting. And then

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: later on Roberto Baldwin, he is a mobility journalist. He's

28
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: going to talk about some of the trends in the

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: transportation world. Well, I hope you are having a fantastic day.

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,279
Speaker 1: It is the holiday season. I am doing great wearing

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: my Windows Ugly Christmas sweater. So if you're tuning in

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: on the stream, it's not live stream, but on KTLA

33
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Plus we stream the first ten minutes of the show

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: every week. You can download that app just about anywhere.

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: You can see what I'm wearing. And it is the

36
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: For a couple of years now, Microsoft has sent me

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: their annual Ugly Christmas sweater. I hate to call it

38
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: an ugly Christmas sweater because I think it's great. It's

39
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: got Clippy on it, it's got all their icons from

40
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: over the years. It's so great. Oh, it's a fun one.

41
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: It's funny. I get sent so many ugly Christmas sweaters.

42
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: Every party I go to I get to wear one

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: of them, and it's always a conversation starter. But this

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: week I went to Amazon Studios. Amazon. It's just truly

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: unbelievable what they've done. So when I was in college,

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: I interned at these studios. It used to be called

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Culver Studios, I believe. And the house you might recognize it,

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I believe. Don't quote me on this. I believe it's

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: the house from Gone with the Wind. I'm pretty sure

50
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: that's or it inspired it or something. I should really

51
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: look up this stuff before I let me say Gone.

52
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. Let's see correct. The famous Tarra mansion

53
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: from Gone with the Wind was a temporary set built

54
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: on the backlot of Culver Studios. So I interned there.

55
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: Back when I was in college, it was Columbia TriStar

56
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: and it was just a regular studio. Now it is Amazon.

57
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: It is impressive what they've done with this place. I

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: was there for an event. They were showing off their

59
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: new Echo speakers that just came out. There's smaller than before.

60
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: There's two of them. They've got the Echo Studio and

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: then they've got the Echo dot Max. Now, don't let

62
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: the name of the echo dot max deceive you. It

63
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: is still a very small echo device. And so I

64
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: did a whole demo. We went into a sound studio

65
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: where they had the demo with all these things linked

66
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: up to the fire TV. And I did not know this,

67
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: but you can link up to five of these speakers

68
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: with an Amazon fireTV. Now it has to be very particular.

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: You have to have one of the recent generation fireTV

70
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: sticks most of them, I think are the four K

71
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: versions in the last couple of years. And also you

72
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: can link them up to a fireTV cube and it

73
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: has to be a certain generation. I believe it's a

74
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: third generation. But I got through this demo and I'm

75
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: sitting there, I'm like, wait a second. You can do

76
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: surround sound just by plugging in a couple speakers around

77
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: a room without running all these wires and cables and

78
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: speaker wire and all this stuff. Said, hold on, I

79
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: want to try this. And so the programming also included

80
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: a fireside chat with OSCAR winning composer Chris Bauers. Young guy,

81
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: great guy, very cool. He did the audio for Wild

82
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Robot or I guess I should say soundtrack for Wild

83
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Robot and also The Last Repair Shop, which I've not seen.

84
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: I did see Wild Robot. It was incredible, and he

85
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: just talked about how sound shapes what we see on

86
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: the screen, and how of course, because it was an

87
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Amazon event and they're promoting this immersive audio, he talked

88
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: about how immersive audio is changing storytelling. So he said

89
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: two things that I really like. Number one, he said,

90
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: sound shapes what we see. There's so much about sound

91
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: we don't realize that defines how we experience a story.

92
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: And think about that when you're watching a horror movie.

93
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: The music, the way the things happen in the background

94
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: or in the corners of the screen, or the jump

95
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: scares that drives the storyline. Just what you hear, what

96
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: they're playing in the background as a character is doing something,

97
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: affects not only how you feel about what's happening on screen,

98
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: but how you feel personally. Are you scared, are you tired,

99
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: are you angry? Are you happy? So that was really interesting.

100
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: And then the other one was on creativity, which I

101
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: really liked too. He said, I chase the naivete of

102
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: being a kid when you're young. Fear doesn't stop you.

103
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: You just try things now. That one really resonated with me,

104
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: because the last time I was at those studios, I

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: was a college student and I was fearless. I mean,

106
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: of course I respected my elders, but I was going

107
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: to conquer the world back then. Now I will say,

108
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm very happy with what I've done in life, but

109
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: as an adult, I don't take half the risks I

110
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: took as a kid. I call myself a kid, but

111
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: as a college student, I would cold call people, I

112
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: would email people, I would send my resume to jobs

113
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: that I had no reason to be hired for whatsoever.

114
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: And nowadays, of course, it's just not that way. And

115
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: so I loved what he said. I chase the naivety

116
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: of being a kid when you're young, Fear doesn't stop you.

117
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: You just try things. And I see that in one

118
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: of my kids, actually probably both, but my older kid,

119
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: he's fourteen, and he's just ready to take on the world,

120
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: kind of like the way I felt when I was

121
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: a kid, where I was going to do better than

122
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: my parents. That's the way he feels about me, which

123
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: is ironic because I feel like I've done pretty decent

124
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: for what I wanted, what I set out to do anyway.

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: So they showed us, you know, the fireside presentation. Then

126
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: they showed us a clip of a movie with these speakers,

127
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: and it sounded great, and I immediately they sent us

128
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: home with one of the speakers. I connected it to

129
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: my fire Cube, I dusted off the dust, I did

130
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: all the software updates, and I connected this thing and

131
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: I was like, oh MG, this sounds incredible. And I

132
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: immediately went on Amazon and ordered three more of the

133
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: speakers to build out the full round. But I made

134
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: a mistake that I did not realize until I got

135
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: the speaker. So I got you know where I live,

136
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: you get stuff so quick from Amazon. So it came

137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: the next day, next morning, basically, and I set them

138
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: all up. And I realized I was not being able

139
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: to set up all four of them together. It just

140
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: would only show me two at a time. And I

141
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: realized I bought two of the big speakers and two

142
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: of the small, or I had two of the big

143
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: two of the small. And I looked, of course, typical guy.

144
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: I look in the directions afterwards, and it's like, oh no,

145
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: all speakers have to be the same. You have to

146
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: buy either four of the big ones or four of

147
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: the small ones. So my little mix and match thing

148
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: did not work. And I didn't realize that until I

149
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: read the help page, which, by the way, read the

150
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: help page in advance before you do something like this.

151
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: So I went back on Amazon. I said, okay, I

152
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: got to order two more of these speakers. Amazon cut

153
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: me off the website literally said sorry, you've reached your

154
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: purchase limit for these speakers. I said, what, So okay,

155
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: So I couldn't order those the big ones. I had

156
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: to order the smaller ones, and I had to order

157
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: them in a different color. That's the only way it

158
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: would let me order more. And so now I've got

159
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: so many of these speakers at my house. I set

160
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: them up. Last night we watched our first movie. I

161
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: was expecting it to be f one. It was not,

162
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: because we ended up watching a holiday movie. But it

163
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: just sounded great and it was so easy. I'm very impressed.

164
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: So if you have my thesis here, if you have

165
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: an Amazon fireTV, check the help page. I'll link it

166
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: up on the website. Rich on tech dot tv. If

167
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: you can connect a couple of these echo speakers to

168
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: your device, I'm not kidding. It changes everything. And by

169
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: the way, you get all the benefits of having smart

170
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: speakers in your living room, which I know some people like,

171
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: some people don't. But you know, this morning, I was

172
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: just able to call out what I wanted to listen to,

173
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: ask Alex of questions, all kinds of stuff because these

174
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: speakers are now in my living room. And by the way,

175
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: I've had Sonos for many years, and I thought about it.

176
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: Sonos has sort of been keeping me from being on

177
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: the cutting edge with all of this smart speaker stuff

178
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: because I've been so invested in what they've done, and

179
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: they've been way behind the eight ball. I guess, okay,

180
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: are you behind the eight ball when you're bad at

181
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: something or you're behind Okay, so they're bad. They've been

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: bad about the smart speaker stuff. It's just it's not

183
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: very good. So now I feel like I am very much.

184
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch more movies. So check it out.

185
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: I'll link it up on the website. I also figured

186
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: out fire TV auto plays a whole bunch of ads

187
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: when you first turn on your screen. I don't like that.

188
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: You can go into your settings and turn that off.

189
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: Did you know that? No, they're not going to advertise

190
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: that to you. So go into your settings preferences featured Content,

191
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: and you'll see two options to turn off auto auto

192
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: play for video and auto play for audio. You can

193
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: mix and match those two, but I turn them all off.

194
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: So now my screen still shows ads, which, okay, what

195
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? But it's much easier on the

196
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: eyes and the ears when you first turn it on

197
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: less Jarring rich on tech dot TV. I'll link up

198
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: all this information there. Rich on tech dot tv eight

199
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one

200
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: eight eight eight rich one oh one. We are gonna

201
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: take your calls right after this. I meant to tell

202
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: you earlier, ran out of time, but I want to

203
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: tell you about the other systems that can do this

204
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: with the speakers. So Apple TV, if you have that,

205
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: you can connect home pods, Roku TV, not Roku players,

206
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: but Roku TV. They've got these Roku wireless speakers you

207
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: can add. And then TCL has this thing called Dolby

208
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: at most flex connect. So that's a new thing that

209
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: I guess more TVs are probably gonna adopt over the years,

210
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: but they're the first out of the gate with it.

211
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: I love the name of the speakers, z one hundred

212
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: wireless speakers like our station in New York. I love it.

213
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: We're not on that station. I mean, we have a station,

214
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: a prominent radio station in New York, and I did

215
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: see those at the Denver CDA show and very easy

216
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: to set up Google TV streamer. That's Google's version of

217
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I cannot find any documentation that says

218
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: you can add speakers to that. Minus you could add

219
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: Bluetooth speakers, for sure, but I'm not sure that their

220
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: Nest speakers work with it. So anyway, lots of options

221
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: out there other than just getting a third party soundbar

222
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: with all that good stuff. All right, let's go to

223
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to Brian in Atlanta. Brian, you're on with Rich.

224
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing?

225
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing well? What can I help you with?

226
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: I got a new Comcast or Extinity router, and my

227
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 3: old iPads and a couple of old laptops will no

228
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: longer connect, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do.

229
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: About Ooh, okay, so you're saying the word old. So

230
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm guessing immediately that your Wi Fi router is putting

231
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: out a five gigahertz signal and your your iPads are

232
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: probably on the old two point four, That's what I'm guessing.

233
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: Yes, the router does both a five and a two

234
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: point whatever.

235
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay does Yeah. So when you when you go

236
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: on that iPad, do you see well, first off, did

237
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: you use the same SSID, like the same Wi Fi

238
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: network name and password on your new router or no?

239
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I don't know.

240
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: Well, like, when you connect on it, is it the

241
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: same whatever your Wi Fi network name was. Is it

242
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: the same as before? Is just something different?

243
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: The slower speed is the same, the five G.

244
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 4: Has got a new name.

245
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: Okay, So it sounds to me like maybe these iPads

246
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: are trying to connect to the old network. So you

247
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: have to go in there, go in your list of

248
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: networks and delete the old network and then try to

249
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: reconnect them. I think that's going to work. So if

250
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: you go into settings on these I'm doing this on

251
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: the iPhone, but I think it's the same. You go

252
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: to settings, you go to Wi Fi, and then you

253
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: go into let's see edit in the upper right hand corner.

254
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: Okay, when I'm on Wi Fi.

255
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: You don't have to be on Wi Fi to do

256
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: this just yet. You can just do this on your iPad,

257
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: but just go you know, make sure the WiFi is

258
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: turned on, but just again go to settings Wi Fi

259
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: and then the upper right hand corner. If you're on now,

260
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. I'm on iOS twenty six.

261
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: If you're not. If these iPads are running older software,

262
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: there may be a different way to do this. But

263
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: you basically have to find a way to look at

264
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: your saved networks and so on the new iPhone, it

265
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: just says edit or no networks, and then you go

266
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: in there. You'll see a whole list of all the

267
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: saved networks. Find your old network and delete it. Press

268
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: the little red button and delete it. So I'm looking

269
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: at mine. I've got hundreds of networks saved on my iPhone.

270
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: Everything for my barber shop, to Snap when I went

271
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: to their offices, to Samsung, to all the very I

272
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff. I gotta clean this up.

273
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: But I think it's getting confused because it's still trying

274
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: to use the old credentials on the new network that

275
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: might have the same name. So go in there, delete

276
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: the saved networks and if I'm just seeing saved Wi Fi.

277
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: The new network has a different IP address or what No, I.

278
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Think it's just it might have a different password but

279
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: the same name, and I think it's just messing it up.

280
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: And I think in general, if you forget that network,

281
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: it's probably going to be better just to do that. Okay,

282
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the uh yeah on the Wi

283
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Fi on the Apple. Okay, let's see settings Wi Fi. Yeah,

284
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: So that's the thing you need to do. You need

285
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: to find your old network and reset it. Now if

286
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: none of that works, if you can't figure out how

287
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: to do that, there's something called the network settings network

288
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: settings reset. So if you go on your iPad and

289
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: find that setting, you can reset all of those settings

290
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: and then it'll probably find the new network that way.

291
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you where that is. That's under settings General.

292
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: Scroll all the way down where it says transfer or reset.

293
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: You tap that, and then you say, you tap reset

294
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: one more time, and you'll get a whole bunch of

295
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: options reset all settings, reset, network settings reset, there's a

296
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: whole bunch of other stuff. But you want to do

297
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: the reset network settings. That'll clear out all the old

298
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: settings on these iPads and then hopefully when you log

299
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: onto your new Wi Fi network or you go to

300
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: attached to it, connect to it, it will find it.

301
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: So try that, Brian, let me know, send me an email,

302
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: let me know if that works or not. Here's the deal.

303
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: My recommendation. When you get a new Wi Fi router,

304
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: you know your cable company says, hey, you got an

305
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: old router, you gotta gotta upgrade to a new one.

306
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: Use the same network settings that you used on your

307
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: old router. That's the SSID, that's your Wi Fi network name,

308
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: and then also the password. And the reason why I

309
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: tell you to do that is because when you turn

310
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: on that new router, all your old gadgets will seamlessly

311
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: connect to that new router, that new Wi Fi hotspot

312
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: whatever you call it in your house. So that is

313
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: a little trick. I made that mistake one time, and

314
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: I've got so many smart gadgets in my house, all

315
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: these smart devices that are connected, and I upgraded my

316
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: router and I used a different SSID and a different password,

317
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: and guess what, I had to go around the house

318
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half trying to reconnect everything.

319
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: So if you upgrade your WiFi, use the same Wi

320
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: Fi network name and password exactly as it is on

321
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: your old router and all your gadgets will seamlessly find

322
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: the new router. Good question, Brian eight to eight rich

328
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. Instagram this week is

329
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: kind of peeling back the kind of the just letting

330
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: you see your algorithm. This is an interesting new feature

331
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: that basically they say they're letting you choose the topics

332
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: that you want to see more or less of. I

333
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: think this is very basic and water down, but if

334
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: you want to see it, you can open up Instagram,

335
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: tap the reels tab at the bottom, and then there's

336
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: a menu icon on the upper right hand looks like

337
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: two little hearts with lines, and that will bring up

338
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: what they're calling your algorithm.

339
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 5: Now.

340
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: I think they have a lot more data on you

341
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: than what they're revealing here, but it shows you a

342
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: couple of topics that you've been into recently, and you

343
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: can go in. You can kind of tweak those, change

344
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: them a little bit. Let me see what mine is

345
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: saying this morning. My algorithm this morning is saying, let's

346
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: see here. It's taking a second to come up. Lately,

347
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: you've been into innovation in the tech world, parenting life,

348
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: and Arizona's desert destinations. Okay, whatever that means. I mean

349
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: I did go to Arizona a couple weeks ago. And

350
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: then you can add things you want to see more of.

351
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: So again, open up Instagram, tap reels at the bottom

352
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: menu icon upper right, and you can see your algorithm.

353
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: You can review your topics, add or remove topics to

354
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: customize your feed. All right, big, big deal that's happening

355
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: in play right now. Netflix is trying to buy Warner Brothers,

356
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: and then Paramount is kind of squeezing in there as well.

357
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: So here to talk about all of that and what

358
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: it means for us is Peter Kafka, chief correspondent at

359
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: Business Insider. He is the guy you want to follow

360
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: for all of this media information. He knows it all. Peter,

361
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: thanks for joining me today.

362
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me Rich.

363
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: So let's let's talk about this. So what did you

364
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: think when you saw this news? Was it a surprise?

365
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 6: It was surprising that Netflix won this auction for Paramount,

366
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 6: Sorry for Warner Brothers Discovery. Lots of folks, including myself,

367
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 6: assumed the Paramount who started the bidding really earlier this

368
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 6: fall was going to end up winning Warner Brothers Discovery

369
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 6: in large part because David Ellison, who runs Paramount, his father,

370
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 6: Larry Ellison, is the second richest man in the world

371
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 6: depending on what day you ask, So they've got essentially

372
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 6: unlimited money.

373
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Way, let me get that right. Hold on the guy,

374
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: the guy who runs Paramount, his dad is the guy

375
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: who started Oracle correct. Oh my gosh, wow. Yes.

376
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 6: So you'll often see headlines saying David Ellison wants to

377
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 6: do this, or David Ellison wants to do that. It's

378
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 6: really Larry Ellison, his dad, because his dad is bankrolling it.

379
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 6: In the same way that when I got out of college,

380
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 6: I bought a car, I bought a Toyota tur Cell,

381
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 6: but it was really.

382
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 7: My parents Toyota turtseell So.

383
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: That's what's going on there.

384
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 6: So, in addition to be very rich, Larry Elson is

385
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 6: also a longtime Donald Trump's supporter, and David Elson, who

386
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 6: was not really a Trump supporter but has really become

387
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 6: one in the last year as he's tried to get

388
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 6: this Paramount deal through, has been sort of nakedly sucking

389
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 6: up to Donald Trump, contorting himself to please Donald Trump

390
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 6: in the hopes that won he'd allowed him to buy

391
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 6: a Paramount, and now that he allowed him to buy

392
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 6: Warner Brothers Discovery. So that's the longest. The short answer is, yeah,

393
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 6: I thought Paramount would get it, not Netflix.

394
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: So Netflix, Okay, So why does Netflix want this? They've

395
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: built this business from scratch, They've got, you know, incredible

396
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: market share with their streaming. Everything they've done I think

397
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: I believe is uh, you know, it's kind of like

398
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: the new way of doing things versus the old way,

399
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: which is Warner Brothers.

400
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 6: So why do they want this studio? Yeah, it's a

401
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 6: good question. It's unlike anything Netflix has ever done. They

402
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 6: never do big acquisitions. Really, They've bought almost nothing to date,

403
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 6: and their argument has always been why should we go

404
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 6: buy a media company when we can create our own

405
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 6: media company and take the money we'd use to buy

406
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 6: an HBO or something like that and just put it

407
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 6: into programming. So we don't really know if they're thinking

408
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 6: this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own

409
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 6: a giant movie studio and to own HBO, and it's

410
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 6: just too good to pass up, or is it. Hey,

411
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 6: our growth is slowing and we have more competition, and

412
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 6: we need something to help differentiate us. It can be

413
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 6: a little bit of both. It's one of the ironies.

414
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 6: If you're old, you remember in twenty thirteen, when Netflix

415
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 6: was just starting to do its own original programming, it

416
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 6: did House of Cards, which is deliberately an HBO style show,

417
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 6: and Ted Sarandos, who's now the CEO of Netflix, famously said,

418
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 6: the goal is to become HBO faster.

419
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 7: Than HBO can become us.

420
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 6: And so for a long time, a lot of us

421
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 6: thought that Netflix was trying to be HBO because that's

422
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 6: what they said. It turns out Netflix was just trying

423
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 6: to become TV, and that's what they've done. They've become

424
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 6: sort of just everything that's on TV. That said, I

425
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 6: think they could probably still use HBO's higher end content

426
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 6: to help differentiate themselves. So I think on a simple level,

427
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 6: that's what they're looking at, because.

428
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna get a lot of back catalog of shows

429
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: and movies and things like that. Is there stuff they're

430
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: not getting like I see on Warner Brothers, they've got

431
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: like CNN, Discovery, Food Network, is all that part of this?

432
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 6: Or no, No, Warner Brothers only wants the movie Studio

433
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 6: and HBO. That's also what Comcast, who is also bidding, wanted.

434
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 6: It's also, frankly what anyone who was looking at at

435
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 6: Warner Brothers Discovery wants. We don't really think Paramount wants

436
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 6: CNN and those cable channels. The plan their pitch is

437
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 6: to buy them. Our thought, I'm just speaking is sort

438
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 6: of the conventional wisdom is they they were just doing

439
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 6: that because they thought it'd be a cleaner deal, just

440
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 6: easier to buy all of Warner Brothers Discovery than to

441
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 6: buy part of it. That's no longer an issue, but

442
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 6: for now they're saying we will buy the whole thing,

443
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 6: including CNN. That's also relevant because Donald Trump has said

444
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 6: I think CNN should have new owners, which again suggests.

445
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 7: That maybe he will favor that Paramount bid.

446
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: So what about consumers and all this? I mean, I

447
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: am already paying thirty four dollars a month for Netflix. Yes,

448
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: I pay for my mom's Netflix. So that's why I'm

449
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: paying a little bit more than a lot of people.

450
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: But what does it mean? I mean, and I'm also

451
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: paying for HBO max. Am I going to be a

452
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: cheaper bundle here or are we expecting this to be

453
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: more expensive come the future.

454
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 6: I have never seen prices come down for anything anywhere. Ever,

455
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 6: prices are always going to go up. I think is

456
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 6: there potential that there's a Netflix HBO bundle?

457
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: I think absolutely.

458
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 6: I think there's an offer at some point where Netflix

459
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 6: says to its customer, like half or more of HBO

460
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 6: customers have Netflix, but not all Netflix customers have HBO,

461
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 6: and Netflix could say, hey, if you're already paying sh

462
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 6: for Netflix, instead of paying fifteen or twenty bucks for HBO,

463
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 6: we can sell it to you for.

464
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 7: Eight bucks or ten bucks.

465
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 6: Netflix hasn't come out and said that's what their plan is,

466
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 6: but I wouldn't be surprised if they do that eventually.

467
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 6: Important thing is, even if this deal gets sort of

468
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 6: finalized in the next few weeks, probably months, none of

469
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 6: this is going to happen for at least twelve months,

470
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 6: really closer to eighteen months, maybe even two years before

471
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 6: any of this actually goes into effect.

472
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: What do you make of all the changes we've seen

473
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: in streaming. I mean, I get that this is a

474
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: relatively young industry, and we've watched it kind of grow

475
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: from the Rokus of the world and the Netflixes of

476
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: the world to now you know, Apple TV Studios and

477
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: Amazon owns owns MGM. I mean, there's just so much

478
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: going on with these tech companies. What else is going

479
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: to happen?

480
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 6: Do you think, Well, we assume there's going to be

481
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 6: more consolidation every All of the big media companies that

482
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 6: own what we would call basic cable stations are all

483
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 6: trying to get rid of them.

484
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: Warner Bros.

485
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 6: Discovery is trying to get rid of CNN and Discovery

486
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 6: and Food Network.

487
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: MTV is shutting down. Is that true?

488
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 6: Don't that part confuses me? I don't think it is

489
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 6: shutting down. It's it's a brand that is important to Paramount. Still,

490
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 6: they don't have many brands, but Comcast is handing over

491
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 6: most of their cable channels. They're turning that into a

492
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 6: new company called versant A and E is dumping theirs.

493
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 6: So we're seeing the slow death of cable television. That's

494
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 6: not a surprise. Most people listening to this probably don't

495
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: pay for cable television. Directly anymore. But still people still

496
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 6: do those businesses still exist, They're going away. They are

497
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 6: going to get replaced with streaming, and there is going

498
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 6: to be more consolidation.

499
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: You will see more of this if sports was not

500
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: part of the cable tv package, which right now they're

501
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: still hanging on to that because a lot of the

502
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: cable TV companies own the sports streaming or the sports channels,

503
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: would be a much faster kind of downward spiral. I

504
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: think let's talk about this real quick before you go.

505
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: Disney open Ai. Did you see that one coming? I mean,

506
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: this is like, these are two huge companies teaming up

507
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: in this one billion dollar at least a billion dollar

508
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: agreement where you'll now be able to use Disney characters

509
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: to generate AI images and video.

510
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 6: It's a little interesting that open ai got that deal

511
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 6: done just because open ai has been sort of like

512
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 6: stumbling around when it comes to intellectual property and Hollywood.

513
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 6: They came out with this image video generation app earlier

514
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 6: this year called Sora, which was just kind of a

515
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 6: free for all kind of let you take your friends

516
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 6: but also people who are actual celebrities and famous people

517
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 6: and do mashups of videos with them. And didn't really

518
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 6: get permission for it. They seem to be following the

519
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 6: you know, ask for forgiveness not permission thing that most

520
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 6: of the big tech guys do. But you have thought

521
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 6: that they would eventually make some deals. Disney is more

522
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 6: so because Disney is so protective of their intellectual property,

523
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 6: and here they're saying to open AI yep, take two

524
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 6: hundred of our famous brands, characters, et cetera, and let

525
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 6: people do user generated content with them. The upside for

526
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 6: that is maybe they do cool stuff and people discover people.

527
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 6: This helps to expose Mickey Mouse to a whole bunch

528
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 6: of new people. The bad side is who knows what

529
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 6: people are going to make with that user generated content.

530
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: They're supposed to.

531
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 6: Be guardrails against that, but if you've ever gone onto

532
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 6: YouTube or Back of the Day in MySpace or TikTok,

533
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 6: you know there's a real limit to how much policing

534
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 6: you can do when the users are creating content.

535
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: So that's interesting, all right, Peter Kafka, We're going to

536

Speaker 1: leave it there, Chief correspondent at Business Insider, Go follow him,

550
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 5: gene stylist five Gen twenty twenty two on the Metro

551
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 5: PCs network subsidiary, you know, key Mobile.

552
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 3: Sure, and I don't.

553
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 5: Have the ability to schedule sending a text message?

554
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 1: Why not?

555
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 5: I do not know my friend, you know, different phone,

556
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 5: different network. I'm he can hit the little three buttons

557
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 5: and it says, you know, in the up right hand corner,

558
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 5: schedule sending.

559
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: A text message.

560
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: Sure, And I hit that little button and that option

561
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 5: doesn't come up it. I can add people on a

562
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 5: text message, different stuff, but not that that's the thing

563
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: I want? And is there a way to add that?

564
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 5: Or is that not offered on this phone? Or offered

565
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 5: by metro PCs.

566
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: Well it should be offered. So a couple of things

567
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: to look at. Number one, the messaging app that you're using.

568
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: Do you know what app you're using, or using Motorolas

569
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: or using Google Messages.

570
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 5: I'm just using whatever came out phone it we have

571
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 5: to be Motorolas.

572
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so download this is this is actually a pretty

573
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: easy fix. You just have to download Google Messages. And

574
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: are you yeah, so Google Messages, you know you're talking.

575
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: Your phone is from twenty twenty two, so they probably,

576
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, Motorola might have had their own messaging app

577
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: that they were using. Almost all of the major providers

578
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: have on Android have switched over to Google Messages because

579
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: it supports what's called RCS. So RCS is Rich Communication Services.

580
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: It basically allows Android users to text with iPhone users

581
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: and each other in a much better way. It's a

582
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: much more modern texting protocol. And so you can send

583
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: through large photos, large videos, you can see typing indicators

584
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And part of that is the

585
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: ability to schedule a message as well. So I'm looking

586
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: at Google Messages right here on my phone, and it's

587
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: saying that if I want to schedule a message, I

588
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: just dial a number, get into that sort of call

589
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: area or that text area, and there's a plus sign

590
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: lower left hand corner, a whole bunch of options, including

591
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: attach a file, location, contacts, and one of them is

592
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: schedule send, and I get the options for later today,

593
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: later tonight, tomorrow, or I can pick a date in time.

594
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: So again to review Lewis Google Messages, look for it

595
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: in the apps in the Google Play Store and you

596
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: can download that. All your text messages will follow over.

597
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: So if you have a whole bunch of texts already

598
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: on your phone, they will all follow over to the

599
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: new app and they'll just be there. And then you

600
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: should make sure that RCS is enabled on your device

601
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: and is enabled on Google Messages. You can go into settings.

602
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: It should automatically kind of activate, but it should be

603
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: activated there in the settings, or you should be able

604
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: to check if it's activated in the settings. And then

605
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: once you've got that, then you can use this feature. Now,

606
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: I know that on iPhone you can only use the

607
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: scheduled messaging if you are texting another person on I Message,

608
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: and so that's just a limitation that Apple is built

609
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: into the phone. I don't know why, but it's something

610
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: that you can do with anyone that's using rcs on

611
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: the Android side of things, which includes Android users and

612
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: of course iPhone users as well, because when Apple does things,

613
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: they only do it to favor the people that use iPhones,

614
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: and when Google does stuff, they do to favor everyone.

615
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: They don't kind of pick and choose where things work,

616
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: and that's what I really like about how they kind

617
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: of approach things. Apple's great, it's amazing. They do great stuff,

618
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: but ninety nine percent of it is favoring their other products.

619
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 1: Whereas Google and Android, a lot of people say, oh,

620
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: why doesn't Android have this, Why doesn't Google have this?

621
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: Why don't you just build this in They have one

622
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: hundred different vendors, all building their own phones, all making

623
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: slight little tweaks on the software, all different hardware specs,

624
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: and so it's not as easy for Google on Android

625
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 1: to roll something out to everyone all at once like

626
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: it is on Apple, where they control every single aspect

627
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: of every single phone running iOS. They know exactly how

628
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: to tweak things for iOS because they're the only company,

629
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: they're the only pump place that makes it. So with

630
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: Android it's a lot tougher because a much bigger open ecosystem,

631
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: and that's why we don't always get everything on Android

632
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: first day, you know, like some of these features that

633
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: they roll out, it takes a while. Like they just

634
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: added air drop to the pixel or I guess their

635
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: version of it. It's compatible with air drop, and all

636
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: these Samsung people of course want the same thing, but

637
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: they can't get it first day because now Samsung has

638
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: to go in and like check out one thousand phones

639
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: that they make and figure out how to make this

640
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: work with that. So it's a lot. New gadget this week.

641
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: Gadget of the Week is the Pebble Index oh one.

642
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: This turns your finger into a memory button. It's a

643
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: tiny ring that lets you capture ideas, reminders, and notes

644
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: without pulling out your phone. So it's a small smart ring.

645
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: It's got a physical button in a microphone. You press

646
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: the button, you say what you want, and it's sent

647
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: to your phone and you can capture reminders, notes, calendar items,

648
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: simple actions, no wake words. It's not always listening. It

649
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: only records when the button is pressed. It does work offline.

650
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: It is not needed an Internet connection. Nothing's sent to

651
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: the cloud, no paid subscription, battery lasts, about two years.

652
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: Works with iPhone and Android, and if your phone's not

653
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: in nearby, it'll still store about five minutes of audio.

654
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: So it's a ring that makes your finger smart and

655
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: remembers things. I can't wait to get this thing. I

656
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 1: love taking voice memos. It's seventy five dollars on pre

657
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: order now. The price will write to ninety nine dollars

658
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: when it ships. It's gonna ship March twenty twenty six.

659
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: And again, this is the guy who created the Pebble Watch.

660
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: He also created Beeper, remember that back in the day,

661
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: not the Beeper, but Beeper app. It was like a

662
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: app that would bring all your messaging in line together.

663
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: They still have it, but the people who bought people

664
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: who make WordPress, bought it from them anyway. Pebble Index

665
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: zero one. I cannot wait to get that very very

666
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: simple smart ring coming up. Uh Android gets live video

667
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: to nine one one calls. Tell you about that and

668
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: more of your calls. Next. Welcome back to rich on

669

Speaker 1: Tech Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology

670
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: at triple eight rich one oh one eight eight eight

Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. The website

672
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: for the show is richontech Dot TV. If you're not

Speaker 1: following me on Instagram, I am at Rich on Tech.

674
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: Do you see the theme?

675
00:34:59,360 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

676
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: I think figured it out. This week. Android added live

677
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: video to nine one one calls. Now I say they did,

678
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: but this is rolling out, and in Google's terms, when

679
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: they say rolling out, I'm not kidding. I just got

680
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: access to Gemini on my home speakers and they're rolling

681
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: it out for like months. I saw that feature last year,

682
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: so it takes them a while. And again it goes

683
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: back to what I was saying about all the different

684
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: makes and models of these phones and Android software versions.

685
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: But they're doing this through Google Play Services, which very complicated.

686
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: But let me just explain the way an Android phone works.

687
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: There's sort of two levels of updates. You've got the

688
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: updates that the manufacturer makes on their software, that's the

689
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: operating system, and then you've got something called Google Play Services,

690
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: and those are the core updates that Google makes to

691
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: Android itself. Like basically, they could roll out little features

692
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: and push them onto phones no matter who the maker

693
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: of that phone is, you know, within reason. So that's

694
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 1: what they're doing here with emergency live video. Role out

695
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: allows you to share a live video feed with nine

696
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: one one responders obviously designed to help in medical emergencies.

697
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: They can walk you through CPR. If you're lost, you

698
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: can show them where you are, you're under high stress,

699
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: you're hiding like a hostage situation, you can, you know,

700
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: maybe just show some video and they can help figure

701
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: out where you are or what to do. Responders must

702
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: request the video. You have to approve it. It's all encrypted.

703
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: You can stop it at any time. Apple got this

704
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: feature last year on the iPhone. They call it Apple's

705
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: Emergency SOS Live Video. So this is rolling out. Keep

706
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: in mind all the nine one one dispatch centers, they

707
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: all have varying levels of ability because they all have

708
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: different software, they all run different programs. It's not nine

709
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: on one is not a national thing here in the US,

710
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: so it's individual jurisdictions that run nine one one, and

711
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: so you have to just keep in mind this may

712
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: not be available everywhere and you can't start it anyway.

713
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: They have to ask for it. So if you get that,

714
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: if you ever call nine one one, hopefully you don't

715
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: have to, but if you ever get that, request live video,

716
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: like wait, what is this now? You know? Email from

717
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: Beverly Beverly says information on my Google calendar disappears after

718
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: a few weeks. I feel like I should go back

719
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: to paper. My event history is missing. Is there a

720
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: way to keep everything available? Or is my past gone? Beverly,

721
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: no matter how many ghosts you have in your past,

722
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: still never be gone. Those skeletons in the closet are

723
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: following you around everywhere. Now I'm just kidding. We're talking

724
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: about your Google calendar. Here. Here's what happens. I get

725
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: this question. No less than once a week someone says

726
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: my calendar is gone. No, it's not gone. Go to

727
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: If you're using Google Calendar, you can confirm I have

728
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: every single calendar appointment from the beginning of time on

729
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: my calendar. You can go to calendar dot Google dot

730
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: com from a desktop computer and just tap the search

731
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: and search for something from whenever. I mean, I just

732
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: search birthday and I can go back to the beginning

733
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: of time on my calendar whatever, whatever restaurant you go to,

734
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: so it's there. Google does not delete this stuff. They

735
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: do not delete your calendar entries. Now, the app that

736
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: you're using to access your calendar on your phone or

737
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: your computer may not sink all of the calendar entries.

738
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Why because it's a big project to sink ten years

739
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: worth of calendar entries. So typically they only sink a

740
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: certain amount. Now, if you go on the iPhone, if

741
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: you're using the iPhone calendar, which Beverly maybe you are,

742
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: go to settings Apps Calendar and you'll see where it

743
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: says sink.

744
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 4: Now.

745
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: I have mindset to all events because I just like

746
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: to roll that way. But typically you can do two

747
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: events or two weeks back, one month back, three months back,

748
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: or six months back. I mean, how many times have

749
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: you had to look at an event more than six

750
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: months back? So I think, Beverly, you got to change

751
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: those settings on your sink. And then on Android, let's

752
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: look at the Google Calendar app. I've not looked at this,

753
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: so I'm going into settings. I'm guessing it's all there.

754
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: Let me see general, let's see is there a way

755
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: to sink a certain amount? Let's see here does not say,

756
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 1: does not say? Okay, so I don't think they have

757
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: a sink amount on here because it's just Google. I

758
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: think they just pull it from the cloud. Yeah, so

759
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: you don't need to really sink on there. It's just

760
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna automatically come up anyway, whatever app you're using, you

761
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: may just have to sink more time. Let's go to

762
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: DEVN in Las Vegas. Devin, you're on with Rich.

763
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 8: Hey, what's going on?

764
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 9: Rich?

765
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 10: Happy Saturday, my brother. It's always a pleasure to listen

766
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 10: to the show. Yeah, thank you, Oh oh my pleasure.

767
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 10: Thank you man. There's so many questions that I didn't

768
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 10: know I had just by listening that you answered.

769
00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 3: So thank you.

770
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. I thought you were going to say

771
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: you have more questions after you listen, because that's a problem.

772
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 9: Rich.

773
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: I love what you talk about, but I don't understand

774
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: any of it. I'm like, well, I'm not doing my

775
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: job right then, No, You're.

776
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 10: Doing an excellent job, man, And and that's why I'm

777
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 10: tuned in every Saturday with.

778
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 4: You, brother.

779
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 5: Thank you.

780
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 10: My question here, of course, my question today. So I

781
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 10: have a project I'm trying to do, probably some maybe

782
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 10: i'll say, sixty sixty five inch TVs. I want to

783
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 10: buy four of those and put them on the wall

784
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 10: here and put two side by side and two on top.

785
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 2: Of each other.

786
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 10: And my question is if I do that as opposed

787
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 10: to having all the TVs on at the same time

788
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 10: and me watching the same game on four different to

789
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,479
Speaker 10: four different sets. Is there a way, Well, I'm sure

790
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 10: there's a way. How can I make all of those?

791
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 10: Or is it possible in this case to make all

792
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 10: one game in this situation instead of playing on all

793
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 10: four TVs, just be playing as it's just the four

794
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 10: making one.

795
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: Okay, you want to merge you want to merge the

796
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: four TVs into what's you want to make a video wall? Basically?

797
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 5: Yes, sir?

798
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean have you done this before? Have you

799
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: tried this? What's this for? Is it for a bar

800
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: like your house or what?

801
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 10: No, it's it's just for the house.

802
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, well, I mean it can be done.

803
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: And I saw it's funny you say this because I

804
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: sat and I was mesmerized by a YouTube video about this.

805
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: I watched the whole thing. It was like thirty minutes

806
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: the guy and there's there's so many of them. So

807
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: the best place to look for this is really YouTube.

808
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: They have so many of these people, these YouTubers, they

809
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: you know, these DIY people. They change their basement into

810
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: a video wall because you know, you can use it

811
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: for various reasons. You can make you know, like you're

812
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: saying you can watch content on it, but you can

813
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: also make it look like an outdoor windows and things

814
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: like that. So there's a lot you can do with this.

815
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: The main thing is it takes a little bit to

816
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: do this. It's not straight forward. It is not as

817
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: simple as taking the output from your cable box and

818
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: just splitting it four ways and it's all gonna work. No, no, no,

819
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: that would be way too easy. You know, these TVs,

820
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: it's you need number one, you need a video wall

821
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: kind of controller and so it's an HDMI device that's uh,

822
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: some of them, you know. For you you're talking four TVs,

823
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: so a two by two, right, and so you would

824
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: get this little video controller. You'd have to plug your

825
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: HDMI into that, and then the four HDMI cables from there,

826
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: the out you know, the outbound would go into the TVs,

827
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: and then of course you'd have to mount the TVs

828
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: on the wall. You'd have to make sure you want

829
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: ones that are really thin with thin bezels, because you

830
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: know there's gonna be a black bar in between all

831
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: four of them. And then you may depending on how

832
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: the TVs are mounted, some people mount these horizontally. Some

833
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: people mount them vertically to make like a window. You know,

834
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: you can do things like rotate the screen or the picture,

835
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: so there's a lot you can do. It's not necessarily

836
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: a simple thing. So if you want a good DIY project,

837
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: it's fun and I think it'll work. But at the

838
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: end of the day, I've not done this personally, and

839
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: I would also suggest before you embark on this, I

840
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 1: would take a look at some of the projector screens

841
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: and projectors that they have nowadays, because especially these short

842
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: throw projectors they're called, they sit about a foot from

843
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: the screen, like at the base of the screen, and

844
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: they throw up a one hundred and eight inch picture

845
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: or something or even bigger, so you can get significantly

846
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: and the video quality is so much better than it

847
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: was in the past. So but I think this is

848
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: a fun project. If you want to do it, and

849
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: you want to make this in Las Vegas, sounds like

850
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: a fun thing to do. Just know that you need to,

851
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, definitely need one of those video wall controllers.

852
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking on Amazon. They've got a two x two

853
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: four K video wall processor with eleven spice splicing modes

854
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty bucks. Then they've got another

855
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: one for two hundred and sixty nine, same thing two

856
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: by two, So you know, the price varies, and I

857
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: think I would be I would go somewhere in the middle.

858
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: I'm looking at one for fifty nine dollars. If you're

859
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: going to buy four of these TVs you said at

860
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: fifty five sixty five inches and put them on your

861
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: wall and go through all that. I would definitely spend

862
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more on this HDMI controller for sure.

863
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: And keep in mind, I would test all this stuff

864
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: before you mount it, make sure it works, make sure

865
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: you can get it to work. That's a fun project.

866
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I I've actually I love that you're doing

867
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: this because I've always wanted to do one of those windows.

868
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: They it looks like an out window to the outside,

869
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: but it's just really a TV. You know, a lot

870
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: of TV studios use them. I just think that would

871
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: look really cool in the House'd be fun. If I

872
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: ever have a home studio for the radio show, that'd

873
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: be a fun thing to do. Devin, thanks for the call,

876
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,959

877
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: to see. Hold on, I'm looking at CS. This is

878
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: how I search for stuff that I've done in the past.

879
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: It just search like CS, Rich Tomuro virtual window. Let's

880
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: see if I can find it. Uh here it is Liquidview.

881

884
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: a Oh, it's so cool. Digital windows for windowless rooms.

885
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: And what they do is they take it a step further.

886
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: They don't just sell you the actual screen. They sell

887
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: you the content as well. So they've gone out around

888
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: the world and they've recorded content for like twenty four

889
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: hours in like four K or eight K, and so

910
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 11: Thank you rich Patsy Outlea, and I just wanted to

911
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 11: ask you a question. I have a iPhone and I

912
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 11: was wanting to try to figure out the easiest way

913
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 11: to clean out all duplicate files and stuff. But every

914
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 11: time you get on one, they after three days or

915
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 11: seven days, they want you to make a subscription. And

916
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 11: I would like to see if there's like an affordable

917
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 11: way or one that's more recommended than others or.

918
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 7: No.

919
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 11: I get all kind of pop up eds for the

920
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 11: same type of services.

921
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all going to well, okay, so a couple

922
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: things here. Number one, great question mark. Number one, there

923
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: is no cleaner app for the iPhone that does what

924
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: cleaner apps do on Android, or on Windows IT or

925
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: even on the Mac. It just doesn't work that way.

926
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: The way that iPhone the operating system is engineered is

927
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: everything is sandboxed, which means apps cannot see data from

928
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: other apps unless Apple specifically allows them to. So there's

929
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: not an app that can just sit there and access

930
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: everything across your phone. That's for security reasons and that's

931
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: just by design. So there's not really an app that says, okay,

932
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: let's run this app and it finds all the gunk

933
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: on your system, the duplicate files, all that stuff. It

934
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: can't do that. There are apps that can do parts

935
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: of that, and there's also some built in tools on

936
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: the iPhone that can do that as well. So let

937
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: me show you a couple of these. Number one, the

938
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: app that I like to clean up the iPhone with

939
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 1: duplicate photos and things like that is called Clever Cleaner

940
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: c l e v Er Cleaner. Now, if you type

941
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: it into search on your iPhone, you may come up

942
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: with a whole bunch of different random apps that are

943
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: going to try to charge you. This one has no

944
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: ads and it does not charge you at all. Ever,

945
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: Just I'm gonna double check that because the last time

946
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: I looked at it, that's the way it was. So

947
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: if I type in clever Cleaner, you got to be

948
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: sure you're getting the right one too. It's got forty

949
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: two thousand reviews right now now, and it's called clever

950
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: Cleaner AI cleanup app. And I'm scrolling down the way

951
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,720
Speaker 1: I always kind of assess an app is you scroll

952
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: all the way down to the information section. And this

953
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: is great advice for just any app that you're downloading.

954
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 1: Always scroll down on the app Store and look under information.

955
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: It tells you seller size, category, compatibility an app. It

956
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: also tells you if an app charges you. So I'm

957
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: looking at this other random cleanup app and I scroll down,

958
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: and oh, what does this say in app purchases one

959
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: week seven dollars ninety nine cents, one year twenty nine

960
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: ninety nine. Now, I'm not against paying for ads, especially

961
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: or paying for apps, especially helpful ones, but you have

962
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: to be aware of what you're getting into. Ninety nine

963
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: percent of the apps out there on the App Store.

964
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: They just want you to download their app, and then

965
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: eventually you're gonna try it and you're gonna use it,

966
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: and you're gonna say, oh, I'm running up against this wall.

967
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: I need to pay for this now. So I always

968
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: like to see what I'm what I'm getting myself into

969
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: before I actually download an app. So always when you

970
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: download an app, before you download it, check all the

971
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 1: way down under information and look for that in app

972
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: purchases area. Nobody looks at that, but it's the best

973
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: thing about the App store is that it shows you that.

974
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: So anyway, Clever Cleaners is from cleverfiles dot com, So

975
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: you can go to that website and that's gonna do

976
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: all the cleanup you need for your photos. And it's

977
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: really good and it's completely free. Like I said, now,

978
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: when it comes to the rest of your iPhone storage,

979
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: you can go to iPhone you can go to General

980
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: set sorry getting ahead of myself, go to Settings, then

981
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: tap General and then tap iPhone Storage and you'll see

982
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things under recommendations. And that's where

983
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: you can review your photos and videos. It'll show you

984
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 1: large photos and videos recently deleted offload unused apps, review

985
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: your downloaded media. Messages in iCloud. You can turn that

986
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: on to save some space, you large attachments in your

00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: in your messages, optimize storage, you can enable that auto

988
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: delete old conversations, review your TV downloads. Oh, they've added

989
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: a lot to this. So that is really what you

990
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: want to do is Apple will go through and help

991
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: you with all that. And again you go into Settings

992
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: General and then iPhone Storage and then under your recommendations

993
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,720
Speaker 1: tap show wall and I'll give you all the different ways.

994
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: By the way, one of the best ways to clear

995
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: up space on your phone two ways. Number one, delete

996
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: a large video. Number two your podcasts. A lot of

997
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: times it downloads a whole bunch of podcasts just keeps

998
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: them forever. So if you going on a trip or

999
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: something you need to free up some space, quickly check

1000
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: your podcast downloads. But those are the ways to do it.

1001
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: Mark Those are the ways to get your iPhone cleaned

1002
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: up again, not just one app that's going to just

1003
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: go through everything and help you do that. Those are

1004
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: pretty much scams. Eighty eight rich one O one eight

1005
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

1006
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: I will link up clever cleaner on the website. Just

1007
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: go to rich on Tech dot TV. This is episode

1008
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: one two. It's right on the home screen. Or scroll

1009
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: down to radio show and you'll see the episodes. Just

1010
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: tap one fifty two. All the show notes are there.

1011
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, I'm still going to tell you

1012
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: about this Aura feature on the new Aura feature, and

1013
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to more of your calls right here on

1014
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: rich on tech. Okay, this Aura frame one of my

1015
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: favorite gifts of the holiday season. If you have not

1016
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: gotten one of these, I'm telling you it's a crowd pleaser.

1017
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: I saw it at Costco yesterday. I was selling for

1018
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: like a hundred bucks. It is such a great thing,

1019
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: and I've got one. My family has one, my wife's

1020
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: family has one. We love it. But anyway, the neat

1021
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: thing about these frames is there's a lot of Wi

1022
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: Fi photo frames out there, but the neat thing about

1023
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: this one is that the software is really good, the

1024
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: design is really good, and you know, it's just simple.

1025
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: You can you can email, or you can send a

1026
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: photo from your phone right to a family member or

1027
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 1: a friend's frame, you know, with a little bit of setup.

1028
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: But now you've got a new feature where you can

1029
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,240
Speaker 1: text to a frame, so friends and family can text

1030
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: photos directly to your Aura frame or vice versa. So

1031
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: that means you don't have to download the app and

1032
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: you don't need an Aura account for the sender, so

1033
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: that means it's super super easy. So if you have

1034
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: like a less tech savvy person in your family, you

1035
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: can just say, oh, yeah, here, if you want to

1036
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: send you know, you want to text me a picture

1037
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: to my frame, here you go. So that's really really cool.

1038
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: You can, as the frame owner, can approve the phone numbers.

1039
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: So let's say you've got three people you want to

1040
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: be able to, you know, that can send photos to

1041
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: your frame. You just approve their phone numbers in the app.

1042
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: So this is really really cool. You have to go

1043
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: into the Aura app as an owner and link your

1044
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: own phone number and then you can set it all up.

1045
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: But it's a really really neat way to kind of

1046
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: it's already easy to add pictures to this frame, but

1047
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: now the ability just to text them in, I think

1048
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: adds another layer of awesomeness. Let's see here, let's go

1049
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: to Stephen in Hawthorn. Steven you're on with.

1050
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 2: Rich, Yes, Rich, thank you, thanks for packing this pall Rich.

1051
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 2: I just had a question about these AirPods Prove three version, okay,

1052
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: And the reason why I purchased those is because it

1053
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 2: has a language translation feature. Sure, and I've discovered that

1054
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 2: it only works it apparently it only works with the

1055
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 2: Apple Intelligence.

1056
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 7: Is that true?

1057
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: Yes?

1058
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 5: Why?

1059
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: Okay? The reason why because I have an old version

1060
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: of the iPhone iPhone eleven.

1061
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you need you need you need an iPhone

1062
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: fifteen Pro or later exactly.

1063
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 2: And it makes me think, is it the Apple Intelligence

1064
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 2: that's actually doing the translation rather than the AirPod Yeah.

1065
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's a little bit of both. I mean they're

1066
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: using Look, I mean they need to there's got to

1067
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: be a driver for the you know, the translation. I

1068
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: think Apple Intelligence is part of that. I think that

1069
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 1: it's just part of what makes it work. I don't

1070
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: know exactly how they're doing it, you know, but that's

1071
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of the way that they position it on

1072
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: the website. They say, look, if you want live translation,

1073
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: you've got to have the AirPods four with the noise

1074
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: cancelation AirPods Pro two or AirPods Pro three, iPhone fifteen

1075
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: Pro or later iOS twenty six or later. Apple Intelligence

1076
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: turned on Apples, Translate app downloaded, and the latest AirPods firmware,

1077
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: So it requires a lot of things. And I would say, Stephen,

1078
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:43,959
Speaker 1: this kind of falls under what I was talking about

1079
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: earlier in the show where I didn't read the help

1080
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: page before I ordered all the speakers. So it's like, oh, shoot,

1081
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: I need that. Oh my gosh. With that said, you know,

1082
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: there's also some limitations on the languages too. There's only

1083
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: a handful of languages that are supported right now. What

1084
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: language were you trying to translate?

1085
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 2: Well, mostly Spanish, you know, okay, pa, you know.

1086
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a relatively easy one. There's a

1087
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: lot of you know, there's a lot of Spanish is

1088
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: usually like kind of like in the basics of all

1089
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: these translation apps. I think they added Japanese. The one

1090
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: that they demoed with me was I think it was Portuguese,

1091
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: which was kind of unique. The other thing, there's some

1092
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: news this week too that I believe Google I think

1093
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: they actually made their translation and this puts a little

1094
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 1: pressure on Apple is I think they made their live

1095
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: translate available to any earbuds now. Yeah, so look at this.

1096
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: So Google expanded their real time speech translations to any headphones.

1097
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: This used to be just a Pixel buds thing, so

1098
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: now it's rolling out in beta. All you need is

1099
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: a compatible Android phone and Google's Translate app to use

1100
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: their live Translate feature, which was pretty amazing. That's pretty impressive.

1101
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,479
Speaker 1: So hopefully Apple will follow suit and maybe they'll open

1102
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 1: this up to more stuff. But it sounds like at

1103
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 1: this point you need to use that Apple intelligence. Are

1104
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: you willing to update your phone or upgrade your phone

1105
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: for this feature or no?

1106
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely up to upgrade apparently.

1107
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: Okay, well, all right, sounds like it sounds like an

1108
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: upgrade might be in your future if you really want

1109
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: to use that translate Live Translate. It's so funny. I've

1110
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: got it on my I've got this on my docket

1111
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: of things to do. I get so many calls and

1112
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: questions about this live Translate feature. People love this feature.

1113
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing because it's going to just kind

1114
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: of continue to to, you know, make our world smaller.

1115
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: But you've got it on a bunch of devices. So

1116
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: you've got it on the pixel buds they were the

1117
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: first to have it. Now you've got it on a

1118
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: couple models of air pods. AirPods Pro three, AirPods Pro two,

1119
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: and the air POD's four, but the higher end, the

1120
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: ones that have active noise cancelation. Now Google, oh, you

1121
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: also have it on the Meta ray band glasses, so

1122
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: you've got it there. There's a device called time Kettle,

1123
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: which I'm still waiting for them to send me a

1124
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: sample so I can try that. That's a standalone device,

1125
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: and they also make earbuds, and then you've got now

1126
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: Google expanding it to any earbuds if you have an

1127
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: Android phone. That's amazing the fact that you can do

1128
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: real time speech translation. And don't forget you also have

1129
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: all of the ais that can do this too. So

1130
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: you've got Gemini, You've got CHATCHYBT. You flip those into

1131
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: the live voice and they can translate anything too. I mean,

1132
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: traveling the world and interacting with people that speak a

1133
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: different language has gotten so much easier. It's it's quite incredible.

1134
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: All right, I think we got our guest here. Let's see.

1135
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: I think Nicholas Merrill is on the line. Nick, are

1136
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: you there, I'm here, Okay, Welcome to the show. Nick

1137
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: Nick is founder of a new privacy first carrier called

1138
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: Freely p h R. E E L. I. So the

1139
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: big deal about this carrier is that it's a privacy

1140
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,959
Speaker 1: first and you only sign up with your ZIP code.

1141
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: So it's really nick, why did you come up with this?

1142
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, thank you for having me on

1143
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 12: the show.

1144
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 13: I've been working in the privacy space for a few

1145
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 13: decades now, and basically, I feel like the telecom industry,

1146
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 13: it collects a lot of information about us, and that

1147
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,959
Speaker 13: sort of leads to a degradation in our privacy, and

1148
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 13: I feel like it's sort of reached a point where

1149
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 13: people are upset about it and they want a better

1150
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 13: option that doesn't hand over all their info to all

1151
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 13: kinds of third parties. So I've been doing research and

1152
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 13: development on free software for a bunch of years and

1153
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 13: how to make privacy easier. But I understood that to

1154
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 13: most people, it's still feels like a lot of work,

1155
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 13: and it feels like you need to have a lot

1156
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 13: of sort of esoteric knowledge. And we're trying to do

1157
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 13: is build it into the service provider, into the mobile provider,

1158
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 13: so that all you really have to do is switch

1159
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 13: to this company and you get a big privacy game

1160
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 13: just by doing that.

1161
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 12: So the idea is like, if you can only do

1162
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 12: one thing to.

1163
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 13: To sort of advance your mission to get yourself better

1164
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 13: privacy today, switch to freely.

1165
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: So why would I want that? Why do I want

1166
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: more privacy with my cell phone? Like I you know,

1167
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: let's say I'm with one of the big carriers. Why

1168
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: do i want more privacy from my cell phone carrier.

1169
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 13: I mean, from what I'm understanding, most people really do.

1170
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 13: Private carriers are essentially selling customer data.

1171
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 7: To data brokers.

1172
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 13: And sometimes it's freeze in advertising, but sometimes it's not.

1173
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 13: Sometimes it ends up in the hands of all kinds

1174
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 13: of scammers, people that do identity theF Like, once the

1175
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 13: information is out.

1176
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 12: There, it's sort of beyond your control.

1177
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 13: When you sign up for typical phone company account, you know,

1178
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 13: you end up having to really give them a lot

1179
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 13: of info, right if they if they run your credit

1180
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 13: you may have to give a driver's license number, a

1181
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 13: social security number, You give them your home address, You

1182
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 13: may give them you know, those.

1183
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 12: Extra security questions like your mother's maiden name.

1184
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 13: Now, when this information ends up getting hacked from the

1185
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 13: phone company or getting stolen, your information is out there

1186
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 13: and like I've experienced it in the past where I

1187
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 13: was using a mainstream phone company and they got hacked,

1188
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 13: and then they said, oh, hey, we'll pay for a

1189
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 13: credit monitoring service for you for six months. But in

1190
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 13: the end, it's sort of like, why do you want

1191
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 13: to put your information out there when you don't have to?

1192
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: So you've got all these different plans, you know, ranging

1193
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: from twenty five to eighty five dollars a month. What

1194
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: about I mean, you're running on a main carrier. I'm guessing.

1195
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Can you say which carrier you're on?

1196
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, we're on T mobiles network.

1197
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're on T Mobiles network. I mean they

1198
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: were okay with you saying, hey, we're not going to

1199
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: collect any data from our customers. We're just going to

1200
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: ask for a ZIP code to sign up. I mean,

1201
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: why doesn't just T Mobile do that? Then it would

1202
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: be nice.

1203
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 13: If they would. I wish they would. I really do think,

1204
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 13: like I say, I'm so old. I remember when you

1205
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 13: could walk up to a payphone and drop a din

1206
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 13: in and make a phone call without having.

1207
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 7: To show ID.

1208
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 13: I really think that the right to communicate should universal

1209
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 13: and you shouldn't have to.

1210
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 12: Hand over all of.

1211
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 13: Your most personal info to a company in order to

1212
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 13: just communicate. It's a it's a thing that we can't

1213
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 13: really almost get away without these days having a cell phone.

1214
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 13: So no, I really wish all the cell phone companies

1215
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 13: would would collect less info.

1216
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: Is there a security risk here? I mean the government?

1217
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you know what about the security

1218
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: aspect of things, like people have been, you know, buying

1219
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: burner phones for a long time. Sure is this similar

1220
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: to that? I mean, you're not positioning this says hey,

1221
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: do bad things. You're just saying, protect our privacy, But

1222
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, can't Is there an opportunity for people to

1223
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: use this for nefarious reasons or is that just everything tech?

1224
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 13: We're saying the exact opposite of that, do not do

1225
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 13: anything wrong on our phone company. We do not want that.

1226
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 13: We don't support that. You know, we're not We're not

1227
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 13: against law enforcement's mission. We want law enforcement to catch

1228
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 13: the bad guys who are doing bad stuff.

1229
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 12: However, we don't think that all.

1230
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 13: Of the rest of us, who are not bad guys

1231
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 13: should have to give up our privacy in order to uh,

1232
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 13: in order to try to deceaver and like, as you noted,

1233
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 13: the option to use a burner phone already existed, So.

1234
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 12: What we're doing.

1235
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 13: Doesn't really get someone more privacy than having a burner phone.

1236
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 12: But what it does is it makes it convenient.

1237
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 13: You know, you could be on auto pay, you have

1238
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 13: all the convenience of using like a regular phone company,

1239
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 13: but with more privacy. So I think the thing is

1240
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 13: if you want to do the whole go to a

1241
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 13: gas station and buy a sin thing and then.

1242
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 12: Top it up in cash. That's that's a lot of work.

1243
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 13: And that's inconvenient and it's not fun. But you know,

1244
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 13: if criminals want to do that, then that's.

1245
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: What they're going to do.

1246
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 13: And you know, honestly, if someone's doing something wrong, as

1247
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 13: I said, I hope law enforcement conches for them. But

1248
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 13: what we're out to try to protect the privacy rights

1249
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 13: of the ninety nine point nine percent of people who

1250
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 13: aren't bad guys.

1251
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: What about when I put in my credit card? Isn't

1252
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: that now I've you know, we've done a lot of

1253
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: stories on data and data collection, and as I understand it,

1254
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 1: there's layers of data that these marketing companies and brokers

1255
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: just sort of layer together. So if they only have

1256
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: my zip code, now they narrow it down to like

1257
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 1: other things that they'll figure out and kind of match

1258
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: up about me. So once they have my credit card,

1259
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, well now you've got your credit card

1260
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: and your zip code. Now we know who this person is.

1261
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,919
Speaker 1: So is that possibility here?

1262
01:04:58,120 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean, like one.

1263
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 12: I want to make clear we have not solved the

1264
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 12: problem of privacy.

1265
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 13: There's still there's still many aspects of it that remain

1266
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 13: to be worked on. So part of the issue is,

1267
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 13: like I mentioned, for getting privacy really really right, it's hard.

1268
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:16,439
Speaker 12: It takes a lot of work.

1269
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 13: And if I don't know, if you remember those books

1270
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 13: from childhood, they were called Choose your Own Adventure.

1271
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: Of course you know they have there's.

1272
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 12: Like decision trees, right, Hey, do you want to go

1273
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 12: down this path or that path? Do you want to

1274
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 12: go behind this door or that door.

1275
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 13: We offer people the option to pay for their phone

1276
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 13: service with cryptocurrency if they want, including some of the

1277
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 13: more private cryptocurrencies like z cash and Monero.

1278
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 12: Now, if you do that, that information doesn't go into

1279
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 12: the credit bureaus, that doesn't go to the data brokers.

1280
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 13: So we're offering the option to have different levels of

1281
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 13: privacy depending on how much work our customers are interested,

1282
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 13: willing and interested to put into the effort. We understand

1283
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 13: that most people are going to use their regular credit

1284
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 13: card with their name on it from their bank because

1285
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 13: that's what's easy. And we we we want to give

1286
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 13: super private options, but we also want to meet regular

1287
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 13: people where they are today, and then you know, there's

1288
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 13: always the option to sort of increase your privacy, you know,

1289
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 13: security as you as you go down the path.

1290
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Well, it's certainly a hot topic and something that I

1291
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: think is on top of mind for so many people.

1292
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: I hear. I get privacy emails all the time from

1293
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: people asking questions about how they can better protect their privacy.

1294

Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that coming up right here. I'm

1309
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: rich on tech Joy in San Diego. Welcome to the show.

1310
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 9: Hi, rich Am I supposed to be on speaker?

1311
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 7: Is it okay?

1312
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: I can hear you? Fine, so it's uh, I'll take it.

1313
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: What's up?

1314
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 9: Okay? Well, I'm almost embarrassed to ask because I've gotten

1315
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 9: an iPhone fifteen, iPhone, I Pad, I'm AC and I

1316
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 9: Mac is still in the box because I'm so h

1317
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 9: not picking up even on my iPhone, very very very basic.

1318
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 9: And I'm used to being older having a textbook that

1319
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 9: I can go back to. I know I can go

1320
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 9: to Apple support, and someone told me I can simultaneously

1321
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 9: set up the iPad and the iPhone to try to

1322
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 9: learn things. But all of this is like so far

1323
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 9: above my learning capacity right now. And I was wondering

1324
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,560
Speaker 9: if you had a suggestion for a textbook.

1325
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's funny. I wrote one of these couple

1326
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 1: of years ago. It's not updated anymore, but I did

1327
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: write an iPhone because I saw how many questions I

1328
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: was getting about iPhones, and so I wrote a book

1329
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: called one hundred and one Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone.

1330
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: And I'm not kidding. It was incredible. I mean people

1331
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,879
Speaker 1: were buying it like crazy because it was just the basics,

1332
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: I mean, so simple. I started. The first page was

1333
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: like how to take a screenshot, and it's just like

1334
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: little things like that, like how to turn your phone on,

1335
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: how to turn it off. And people loved it because

1336
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: it was just simple. It didn't assume that you knew anything.

1337
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: What phone did you switch from?

1338
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,520
Speaker 9: I still have my landline?

1339
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so you switch from landline? Okay.

1340
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 9: Problem is I for the past twenty thirty whatever year

1341
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 9: since I've been retired, I got out of working when

1342
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 9: all the technology started to take hold, and I've never

1343
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 9: had incremental periods of time to learn these little things

1344
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 9: that sort of multiply and exactly what you said. I'm

1345
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 9: going to look up that book because I don't know

1346
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 9: what an icon is, what a widget is, or what

1347
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 9: a green shot is that you just mentioned.

1348
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're really learning, Yeah, you're going for the basics. Well,

1349
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: I understand, and I totally you know, you grew up

1350
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 1: in a different time and these are all kind of

1351
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: new to you, and it's once you figure it out,

1352
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be great, and you're going to get

1353
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 1: the hang of it. And believe me, everyone does eventually.

1354
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: So oh, what I would say is you already know

1355
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: about the Apple website. So Apple does have an official

1356
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Apple Support phone guide, so you can go there iPhone

1357
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: user Guide and again, yeah, like your friend said, put

1358
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: that on your iPad and then you can follow along

1359
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,440
Speaker 1: on your iPhone. That's number one. But I would probably

1360
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: buy a book, a couple of books. There's and I

1361
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: don't want to I'm not gonna insult you here. I'm

1362
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: not gonna but there's an iPhone for seniors for dummies.

1363
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: I'd probably recommend something like that because it's paperback, you

1364
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 1: can doubt you can physically hold it and flip through

1365
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 1: it and have your phone in your other hand, and

1366
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: you can go through it and learn all the features.

1367
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably going to be one of

1368
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: the best ways to learn this. And they've been making

1369
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: those those books for a long time. The other thing,

1370
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,919
Speaker 1: David Pogue used to make something called the Missing Manual.

1371
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's there anymore. I don't think they've

1372
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: updated it. It looks like the last time they updated

1373
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: it was a couple of years ago. But I think

1374
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: the the I hate to even use the term, but

1375
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:56,600
Speaker 1: the Dummies book, I think is going to be the

1376
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,400

Speaker 1: of feedback about the Amazon Echo speakers and set up

1386
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about that. Clearly I was not

1387
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 1: the only one that didn't realize that you can connect

1388
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: those and make a home theater system. Let's see so

1389
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:40,759
Speaker 1: many emails.

1390
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 4: Uh.

1391
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Also, I want to just tell you about my newsletter

1392
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,880

1393
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,839
Speaker 1: signed up for the newsletter, you are doing yourself a disservice.

1394
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. It's because everything that I

1395
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 1: mentioned on a weekly basis all the most important stuff

1396
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:59,480
Speaker 1: that comes through my desk. I put in this newsletter.

1397
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: It's stuff that, like this show, I think you should

1398
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: know about. So I put it all in there, I

1399
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 1: write it up, I sit there and I send it

1400
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 1: out to you, and it's free and people, you know,

1401
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: it's become like this community. Now, this episode, this issue

1402
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: is my favorite. I'll just tell you some of the things.

1403
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: So I talked about the ECHO stuff. I talked about

1404
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: how I built my own personal AI wine recommendation AI

1405
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: system with chat GIBT. Basically, I took a picture, uploaded

1406
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 1: a picture or whatever of all the different wine that

1407
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: I like over the years, and I told it, here's

1408
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 1: what I like. And then now if I'm at a

1409
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: restaurant and I see a menu, I can literally just

1410
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: upload that menu to my chat GBT project and it

1411
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: will give me the best wine glass to purchase based

1412
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: on all of my tastes. And what's smart about that

1413
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 1: is that number one. I don't know, if you've noticed

1414
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 1: prices of things over the years, they've gone up. And

1415
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 1: so if you're like, hey, I want to spend this

1416
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 1: much on a glass of wine, give me the best

1417
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,799
Speaker 1: bang for my buck that'll fit my taste. That's number one.

1418
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: Number two, you get a wine list, you have no

1419
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: idea what's on. There could be Italian wines, French wines,

1420
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Spanish wines, whatever. You can feed that in and we'll

1421
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: still say, okay, here's the wines we've identified that you

1422
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: will like based on what you like. So that was fun.

1423
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: I spent like an hour doing that, and you could

1424
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 1: easily do it. So I talk about how to do

1425
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: that my newsletter. I got the tech Tidbits. Oh, I

1426
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: also mentioned this. I'll tell you about this app. But anyway,

1427
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: the tech Tidbits, and then people share their emails. There's

1428
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: so much in there. Just go to Rich on tech

1429
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 1: dot TV, pop in your email address and you'll get

1430
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: this every weekend. And then I'm doing a secondary one

1431
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: that's just like Q and A. So all the emails

1432
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 1: I get, I picked like maybe ten each week to

1433
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: feature in the the other newsletter. It's like a Q

1434
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 1: and A. And by the way, a picture of Bobo's

1435
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: in here. Bobo's not here today, but there's a picture

1436
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,799
Speaker 1: of them. Let's see. Alex requested a picture of Bobo,

1437
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: so I put them in there. But I told you

1438
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: about this app. It's called Chirp c Hirp Chirp, and

1439
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 1: it's an Apple Watch app that adds like a voice

1440
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: assistant chirp dot Watch. And there's no there's no proper

1441
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: AI assistant on the Apple Watch right now. Don't tell

1442
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: me Siri is because that's not true. So if there's

1443
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,600
Speaker 1: no like Google Gemini, there's no chatgybt as far as

1444
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: I know. But this kind of emulates that. So it's

1445
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: a little tiny app. You put it as a complication

1446
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: on your screen. You tap it and then it gives

1447
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: you an answer. So I can say something like, let

1448
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 1: me try it in lifetime. So I did that. I

1449
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: tapped it, and now I just tap press and hold

1450
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: and let's see what is the best movie coming out

1451
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 1: next weekend? Now it's sending the info to Google Search.

1452
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: It uses Gemini. See if you can do this. I

1453
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: have no signal in here. Oh that's great. There we

1454
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: go nothing no nothing. What's the best movie at the

1455
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:50,639
Speaker 1: box office right now? SquarePants are some of the bigger ones.

1456
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Is also David and so Five Nights at Freddy's two

1457
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: is currently the top earner at the box office, and

1458
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Zotopia two is also doing pretty well. Okay, so there

1459
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 1: you go. You can choose your little voice. I didn't

1460
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: even know those movies were out. Wow. Okay, five days

1461
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:07,799
Speaker 1: of Freday's too. I never even saw the first anyway.

1462
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: It's called Chirp dot Watch. Check it out. They also make,

1463
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: interestingly enough, a tiny little web browser for your Apple

1464
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Watch screen. I know crazy, I'll link it up on

1465
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: the website. Rich on tech dot TV. All right, let's

1466
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: go to Brad in Los Angeles, line five. Wow, we

1467
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 1: have so many calls. We're using all the lines, Brad,

1468
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: you're own with Rich.

1469
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 8: I'm currently I'm currently on an iPhone eight with Verizon,

1470
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 8: and I want to keep the home button. And I've

1471
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 8: been researching and it looks like the iPhone se third

1472
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 8: generation might be my only hope at this point because

1473
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 8: I've aged out on a few apps already that want

1474
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 8: iOS seventeen, which is my eight won't get.

1475
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 4: So what do you think?

1476
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, so I'm looking at the list you want.

1477
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: You still want the home button? Okay, so the eight

1478
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 1: and the eight plus for the last kind of mainstream

1479
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 1: iPhones to get that. Then you've got, like you said,

1480
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: the iPhone sees all three read them, have it. The

1481
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: iPhone SC three was last made in twenty twenty two.

1482
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm checking this on the website and then

1483
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:12,679
Speaker 1: it looks like I got to go to iOS twenty

1484
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: six and just see if that's still supported. So at

1485
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 1: the bottom of the iOS website they have all the

1486
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,919
Speaker 1: supported models. Let's see if the se three is still supported,

1487
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 1: s oh ow SC two and later. So yes, you're

1488
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: in luck, Brad. That's your best bet because you can

1489
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: still run the modern operating system, the latest version of

1490
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,600
Speaker 1: iOS on there, and so you'll still have access to

1491
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 1: all your apps and it'll work pretty well. Have you

1492
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: heard of backmarket dot Com? No, okay, it's a good

1493
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: place to buy it. They are a well reputable, refurbished

1494
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: sort of you know, gadget place, and they sell all

1495
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,759
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, not just iPhones but everything. iPhone SC

1496
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty two unlocked will run you one hundred

1497
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 1: and thirty eight dollars. How does that sound?

1498
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 8: But listen, what's your astimate on how long the that

1499
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 8: third generation will last? Because I know then Weimo is

1500
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 8: the one that I've been out. It needs the seventeen

1501
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 8: and I think it was LA three eleven one is

1502
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 8: seventeen as well. iOS seventeen. Those they only two so

1503
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 8: far that I've noticed.

1504
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: Okay, well with this one, you'll you'll have iOS twenty six,

1505
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 1: which is great, and iOS twenty six, I will tell you,

1506
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: will last for at least, let's see, at least two

1507
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: more years if you'll have support. So and the reason

1508
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that is because you've got the iPhone

1509
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: se second generation and later right now for iOS twenty

1510
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 1: six next year, what Apple usually does is they drop

1511
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 1: support for the last model. So now iOS twenty seven

1512
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: will just support the iPhone SE three, and then when

1513
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: iOS twenty eight comes out, they'll drop support for that

1514
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: iPhone SE three. So I think you have a good

1515
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 1: solid two years of software support. So you got to

1516
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: do the math. One hundred and thirty eight dollars for

1517
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 1: two years is that worth it it versus just buying

1518
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: a new iPhone that's going to give you another six

1519
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: years of use out of it. So do the math.

1520
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:09,560
Speaker 1: But that's that's my thought.

1521
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:11,839
Speaker 8: What's that website back market?

1522
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: Backmarket dot com? Yeah, check it out, and you know

1523
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 1: it's a reputable place you can buy it. It's got

1524
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 1: oh that's for fair condition. So if you want excellent

1525
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: is one hundred and fifty four dollars. But they inspect everything,

1526
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: they refurbish it, they make it really nice. It's a

1527
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 1: good place to buy. People really like it. So why

1528
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: you're not ready to give up the home button?

1529
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 8: Huh No, I tried it. Too frustrating for it.

1530
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: Okay, you'll get used to it. I know you will,

1531
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: but I know it's it's tough to uh. I know

1532
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: it's tough sometimes because we get used to things. We

1533
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: like things a certain way. And yes, I totally understand that.

1534
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tom in Tustin. Where's Tom? You would

1535
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 1: think it'd be easy to choose the line. That's the

1536
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,799
Speaker 1: only thing I have to do is tap the number

1537
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: of the line. It is not easy. It's like there's

1538
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: so many things blinking and this and that. Tom, you're

1539
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: on with Rich?

1540
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 3: Hey, Rich, First of all, thanks for everything you do

1541
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 3: for all of us tech dumbings out there.

1542
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 1: Oh well, don't call yourself that, but yes, I you know,

1543
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,839
Speaker 1: I just try to help. So you know, I understand.

1544
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: This is my world. You've got your world, I've got mine.

1545
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 3: This is not really a tech problem. It's an odinity.

1546
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 3: I ran into for Amazon last night. I wanted to

1547
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 3: order a.

1548
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 6: A Gillette.

1549
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:33,719
Speaker 4: Razor.

1550
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 3: Okay, it's a Styler three and one. It's about close

1551
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 3: to thirty bucks.

1552
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,839
Speaker 1: Okay. I was gonna say, do you have to mortgage

1553
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: your house to do that? Did you have to? I

1554
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 1: was gonna say, do you have to mortgage your house

1555
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: to buy this razor? Because they're very expensive.

1556
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 3: Much but it's well, it's electric and yeah, anyhow, sure.

1557
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:55,560
Speaker 3: So I you know, normally, for fast delivery on Amazon,

1558
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 3: and I am an Amazon member, you have to meet

1559
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 3: a twenty five dollar minimum.

1560
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 4: So when I.

1561
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 3: Placed the order, it shifted me over to Amazon Fresh

1562
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 3: and then you have to meet a fifty dollars minimum

1563
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 3: in order to get the rapid delivery, right, So I

1564
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 3: just thought, you know, it was kind of irritating when

1565
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,799
Speaker 3: I ran into that. Have you ever heard of that before?

1566
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: Yes? And the reason why is because the razor was

1567
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: sold by Amazon Fresh and not Amazon. So it's a

1568
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: little confusing. And this is actually, I think, getting way better.

1569
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: But so the thing was basically whatever specific razor you wanted,

1570
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: it was sold by Amazon Fresh and not Amazon. It's

1571
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,600
Speaker 1: very confusing of the same company, but for certain products

1572
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: they parse it out and they say, okay, this company

1573
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: and this happened to me the other day. I wanted

1574
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: to buy this product and it was only sold by

1575
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: Amazon Fresh, and I had to do a huge order

1576
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: just to get it, and so I ended up not

1577
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 1: getting it. But again that's kind of what happens. Oh,

1578
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm looking at this because I looked

1579
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 1: up Gillette. This is so cool. They have Gillette razors

1580
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 1: for all the NFL teams. How cool is that? What

1581
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 1: a good gift. I got to get my kid one

1582
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: of these. That is awesome. Wow, look at this they've got. Yeah,

1583
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the forty nine ers right here, but

1584
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 1: they've got Gelette Labs Special, NFL, all these different editions.

1585
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: That is so super cool. Anyway, So the thing is

1586
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 1: when you're looking at Amazon, if you don't want that

1587
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 1: to happen in the future, you've got to use the

1588
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: the kind of selectors on the side, so it'll say

1589
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 1: like prime delivery overnight by eight am, eleven am, and

1590
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 1: you got to make sometimes it sells, it says the seller,

1591
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: and you can choose Amazon. See right now, I can

1592
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 1: see there's a there's a check for Amazon Fresh. So

1593
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: if I check Amazon Fresh, I'm only going to see

1594
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,680
Speaker 1: stuff that I can get from that store versus Amazon.

1595
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: So that is what happened to you. The different the

1596
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: thing that Amazon is doing that they've been changing now

1597
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,919
Speaker 1: is they're actually in co operating fresh food into standard

1598
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Amazon deliveries. So for instance, I got a delivery last night,

1599
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 1: and my delivery just came in a bag because it's

1600
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 1: not being shipped from anywhere. They're just going into a

1601
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 1: warehouse that's nearby and they're just pulling the two items

1602
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: and they're bringing them to me. So it's kind of

1603
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: like almost like an Amazon's version of door Dash, and

1604
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot more of that because

1605
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: Amazon is now mixing in fresh items, like we're talking

1606
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: milk and fresh food into your traditional Amazon orders, and

1607
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: they can't do that by shipping. They're not going to

1608
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 1: put that on a truck to ship to you in

1609
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: a box that takes you know, overnight or two days.

1610
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: They're just taking it from a smaller warehouse that brings

1611
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 1: it right to you, kind of cutting out the middleman

1612
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: of any sort of like delivery time. So anyway, it's

1613
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: a really interesting concept, but I think we'll see less

1614
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: of this, hopefully, But I get it, Tom. It's frustrating

1615
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,639
Speaker 1: when that happens, for sure. All right, eighty to eight

1616
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 1: rich one on one eight eight eight seven four to

1617
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. We got more calls. We

1618
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: got to talk about this social media band over in Australia.

1619
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: Kids over there must be losing their minds. No more

1620
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:07,440
Speaker 1: social media for them. Probably a good thing for the world.

1621
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: Australia probably become the smartest country. Now, all right, more

1622
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: rich On Sack coming your way. Right after this, Let's

1623
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 1: go to Frank in Apple Lake, New York. Frank around

1624
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 1: with Rich Hi.

1625
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 4: Rich got a question for you. I'm a senior and

1626
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 4: I happen to have a lot of art writers in

1627
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 4: my fingers, which means that when I'm you know, typing

1628
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 4: on the computer, it's oftentimes the big problem for me,

1629
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 4: is there? So here's my question in this AI age,

1630
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:56,719
Speaker 4: does anybody manufacture a Star Trek voice activated computer where

1631
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 4: I could just say computer, go to E they or

1632
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 4: computer print what's on my screen? Something like that.

1633
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that there is something built into Windows

1634
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:14,759
Speaker 1: that is really good. Let's see voice Access Windows eleven,

1635
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: so that it's it's I believe this is brand new

1636
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 1: and this lets you control your entire PC with voice

1637
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: and I just set it up on my Windows computer here,

1638
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, Frank, it's very impressive. Like I'm talking,

1639
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking. It's it's going through like the practice like screens.

1640
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: And so here's what I said. I said, voice access

1641
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: wake up. That'll turn on your microphone number one. Then

1642
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 1: you can say, uh, click animal friend and it will

1643
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 1: select the box on the screen that says dog or cat,

1644
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 1: and then you can do that and then it says

1645
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: click cat and it'll click the cat show numbers. I mean,

1646
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 1: it's it's basically everything you're talking about. This is what

1647
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: you want now. You said you have you have some

1648
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: decksterity like you can and you can turn on the

1649
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 1: computer and turn it off and like if you needed to,

1650
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 1: like peck a key, you could, right, Yeah, okay, so

1651
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 1: this is mostly just for everything in between. So I

1652
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: think this would be a very good thing for you

1653
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 1: to try. Do you have a Windows computer and.

1654
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 4: It's Windows, Well my computer is broken right now, but

1655
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 4: I'm about to get a new one.

1656
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Well I would get a Windows eleven then for sure,

1657
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: because yeah, I mean, I'm telling you and I think

1658
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: this is a pretty new feature. It's because I remember

1659
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 1: them announcing it and it's yeah, it's it's in the

1660
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: new version of Windows, like the latest update. I'm gonna

1661
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:36,639
Speaker 1: link this up on the website because this is incredible

1662
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: what they've done. And it's just basically, I mean, I'm

1663
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: telling all the things that you can do here. I mean,

1664
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 1: there's just so much you can do. I mean, it

1665
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: looks like you can go right to websites, you can

1666
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:51,559
Speaker 1: surf websites. I mean, it's I think that the main

1667
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:55,280
Speaker 1: thing is what you're talking about with Star Trek is

1668
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: natural language commands, and I think that these are not

1669
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: necessarily natural language just yet. But it does give you

1670
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,600
Speaker 1: a full voice access guide which you can just like

1671
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: print out. But I think what's going to happen is

1672
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: there is a web browser called chat gbt at list

1673
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: and chat gbt And have you used any of the

1674
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: AI yet at all? Okay, Well, the AI, what you're

1675
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: talking about AI is already there. So the idea of

1676
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 1: just telling a computer what you want to do and

1677
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: what like, we're already there with chat GBT. So i'd

1678
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:33,679
Speaker 1: recommend what kind of phone do you have a smartphone

1679
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: or no? Yeah, okay, download the chat GBT app to

1680
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: your phone. Make sure you get the official one. And

1681
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: there's a special there's a special let me see where

1682
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 1: it is on here. Go to chat GBT and there's

1683
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 1: a special mode called voice. And I'm not kidding. You

1684
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: will not believe how much you can do with just

1685
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: that voice. You can just talk back and forth, you

1686
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 1: can do calculations, you can ask things, you can ask

1687
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 1: it to search a website, bringing you back information, brainstorm.

1688
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: It is quite incredible, and it's all natural language. And

1689
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 1: by the way, it's I believe it's free. I think

1690
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 1: anyone could access that for free. But I think whereas

1691
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 1: a computer, we're not there. I don't think just yet

1692
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: with the computer. But this thing on Windows I think

1693
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 1: is the closest you're going to get. And since you're

1694
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,600
Speaker 1: telling me you have, you know, it's more of a

1695
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: convenience thing where you don't want to sit there and

1696
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 1: type everything. You want to be able to call out commands.

1697
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be really a good combination

1698
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: for you. Now, the other thing we have, there's a

1699
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: program called whisper Flow, and this will also change your life, Frank.

1700
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 1: It's basically a voice dictation app. So when you're sitting

1701
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 1: there trying to do your emails and things like that.

1702
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: You can use this whisper Flow and it is going

1703
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: to convert what you say into text in probably the

1704
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:55,680
Speaker 1: best way you've ever seen in your life. Like you're

1705
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 1: not going to believe how good it is. And it

1706
01:27:58,400 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 1: does that with the help of AI on the beat

1707
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: back end. But I basically do not type out my

1708
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 1: my anything on my computer anymore, including my newsletter, my emails.

1709
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: I do all voice to text because it's gotten so good.

1710
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:14,960
Speaker 1: So again, just to review Windows Voice Access. It's called

1711
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: whisper Flow and chat EBT. Download that toolkit and Frank,

1712
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 1: I think it's it's really going to improve things for you.

1713
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 1: And that justn't doesn't just go for Frank, that's for

1714
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 1: anyone you know you're struggling with, you know you want

1715
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 1: to We've got We're almost there. We're almost to the

1716
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: point where you can control an entire computer with just

1717
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,680
Speaker 1: your voice and in a really good way. Rich on

1718
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,920
Speaker 1: tech dot TV. Coming up, we'll talk to uh, let's

1719
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: see Roberto. We're going to talk to him about the

1720
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 1: car world, transportation, what's going on there with Rivian and others.

1721
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:57,639
Speaker 1: Coming up right here, I'm Rich on Tech Roberto Baldwin

1722
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: is a mobility journalist with sae ME Media Group. We

1723
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 1: met in New York City at a GM event. We

1724
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 1: talked the entire Uber ride to the airport. I figured,

1725
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I got to bring this guy in

1726
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: the show because he knows his stuff about cars. Welcome

1727
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 1: to the show, Roberto, thanks for having me on. Super excited,

1728
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: absolutely so. It took me forever to get you on

1729
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:20,559
Speaker 1: this show because you travel so much. What are you

1730
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 1: doing all the time?

1731
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 7: I travel pretty often, mostly with automakers. I went to

1732
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,680
Speaker 7: Poland to learn about their supply chain. I went to

1733
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:35,600
Speaker 7: the Alps Austrian and then I went to Germany to

1734
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:39,599
Speaker 7: learn about the new the Mercedes Benz CLA. I went

1735
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 7: to Toyota to talk to them about their proving. It's yeah,

1736
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,679
Speaker 7: it's anything automotive. It's a lot, it's a very it's varied.

1737
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:47,680
Speaker 7: It's not just me going and driving cars, which is

1738
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 7: a lot of it. There's a lot of like really

1739
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:52,799
Speaker 7: sort of deep in the weath of the automotive industry.

1740
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 1: You've been covering this stuff for a long time, right.

1741
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, for well over a decade before that, I

1742
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,560
Speaker 7: was a tech journalist. But before all that, I was

1743
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 7: a kid in the driveway every Saturday morning with my

1744
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 7: dad being told to go get a ratchet or a wrench, or,

1745
01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 7: in the worst case scenario, I hammer.

1746
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So I assume you know how to drive

1747
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 1: stick I do.

1748
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 7: I own a manual super vr Z.

1749
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,639
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Okay, I never learned. And my dad also

1750
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 1: like to restore cars too. But when he asked me

1751
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:26,240
Speaker 1: for any sort of like help, like hey, can you

1752
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 1: hold this oil pan or something, I'm just like, no,

1753
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:29,719
Speaker 1: I got to go do something.

1754
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 11: See.

1755
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,680
Speaker 7: I tried that, but that wasn't really an option. Unfortunately.

1756
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 7: It was. The hilarious part is I was just as

1757
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,640
Speaker 7: uninterested it seems as you were doing it. But then

1758
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 7: as I got older, I found that when I'm working

1759
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 7: on a car, I'm very calm. I'm very relaxed. It's

1760
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 7: such a departure from our very digital world just to

1761
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:52,640
Speaker 7: sit there with a ratchet or a wrench or a

1762
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:55,719
Speaker 7: host clamp or whatever and sort of fix some vehicle.

1763
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 1: Oh one hundred percent. Don't get me wrong. I on

1764
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,879
Speaker 1: my street there's a car that's like an old Mustang

1765
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:02,720
Speaker 1: or something that's just sitting in a driveway for like

1766
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 1: ten years now, And every time we walk past that.

1767
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 1: I tell my kids, I go, do you think you

1768
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 1: could see me as like the dad who like restores

1769
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 1: this car? They're like no, but I but I have

1770
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:12,760
Speaker 1: the urge to do it, even though I have no

1771
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 1: idea what I'm doing. All right, let's talk. Let's talk.

1772
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 7: You learned by doing yes, and.

1773
01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:19,160
Speaker 1: Now with the Internet, of course, there's so many ways

1774
01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 1: of learning. So let's talk about Rivian. They had their

1775
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 1: they had their big autonomy day this week, so give

1776
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 1: me an update on what they announced, Like, was there

1777
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 1: anything that stood out to you about Rivian? And is

1778
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 1: this company like in a good place or should we

1779
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 1: be worried?

1780
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 7: I think they are in a good place. I think

1781
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 7: part of that has to do with Volkswagen had issues

1782
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 7: with their software a couple of years ago. They're in

1783
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:44,639
Speaker 7: car software, the ID four when it launched ID three

1784
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:46,679
Speaker 7: in Europe, when it launched both of those, the software

1785
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 7: is very buggy, very laggy, and it really hurt initial

1786
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 7: sales for those vehicles and maybe long term sales. Rivian,

1787
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 7: on the other hand, they're in car software which really well.

1788
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 7: So Volkswagon has given billions of dollars to Rivian in

1789
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 7: order to help them with their software as a partner,

1790
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 7: and so Ribbon's able to use that money to a

1791
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 7: you know, produce vehicles. B are the R you know,

1792
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 7: the R ones. So we're talking about the R two,

1793
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 7: which is their sort of mid size suv. That's the

1794
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 7: next item coming up from their lineup. But they're also

1795
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 7: looking at enhancing their sort of future of self driving vehicles.

1796
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 7: Their their level their level three vehicles. Level three is

1797
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 7: is hands off and eyes off, so you could be

1798
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 7: reading a book, you could be reading a newspaper. A

1799
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:33,280
Speaker 7: lot of automakers are working towards this right now in

1800
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 7: the United States, only encountering Nevada. Does Mercedes Benz have

1801
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:40,880
Speaker 7: something like this, But on the way they're working on,

1802
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 7: you know, beginning next year with the updated R ones,

1803
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 7: you should be able to hands off but eyes on.

1804
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 7: You're still in charge of everything that happens. Use that

1805
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 7: system on any road, any road with painted lines, so

1806
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:00,680
Speaker 7: you could do it on a dirt road, but on

1807
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,679
Speaker 7: a you know, like a country road, on a back road,

1808
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 7: potentially in town. It is sort of a big leap.

1809
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 7: If you know anything about Blue Crewise or Super Crews,

1810
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,720
Speaker 7: those both of those systems typically require you to be

1811
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 7: geo fenced onto a highway or a freeway. This goes

1812
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 7: beyond that. That said, it's still a very difficult proposition.

1813
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 7: It's still very difficult for vehicles to understand the road

1814
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,600
Speaker 7: contextually the same way that a human does. And you

1815
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 7: still all in charge. So when you come to a

1816
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 7: stop sign, when you come to a stoplight, when you

1817
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 7: come to intersection, you still have to take over and

1818
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 7: do you know, you have to drive while as if

1819
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 7: you're just on a long straightaway, the vehicle for the

1820
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:44,800
Speaker 7: most part should be able to stay in its lane

1821
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:47,920
Speaker 7: without you having to take over control of the storiate.

1822
01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 1: Well, how does what Rivin announce compared to what Tesla's

1823
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:51,639
Speaker 1: already doing.

1824
01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 7: So with Rivian's announcing and Tesla's actually already doing this

1825
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 7: as well, is they had their they're building their own silicon,

1826
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 7: which is really actually quite difficult. And when you think

1827
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:04,160
Speaker 7: about your iPhones, all the chips inside of there, they're

1828
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 7: making millions and millions of those phones. You have the

1829
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 7: economics of scale, and the economics that scale comes with

1830
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:13,599
Speaker 7: the ability to find, you know, problems like weird edgu cases.

1831
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 7: For automakers, you're not making millions and millions of vehicles.

1832
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,320
Speaker 7: If you're lucky you're selling a million, most likely you're

1833
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:22,680
Speaker 7: selling a couple hundred thousand a year, So they're going

1834
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 7: to have that issue. But one of the really interesting parts,

1835
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 7: and actually probably what everyone should be doing, is they're

1836
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 7: adding LEDR to their vehicles. When they're talking about a

1837
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 7: sort of hands off, eyes off vehicles, so that that

1838
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:38,639
Speaker 7: means they have the redundancy of light ar, radar and

1839
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:42,639
Speaker 7: cameras watching the road. It's that sort of full suite

1840
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:47,160
Speaker 7: that allows if something goes, if one sensor can't figure

1841
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:48,679
Speaker 7: out what's going on in the world, the other two

1842
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:49,719
Speaker 7: can pick up the select.

1843
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:51,679
Speaker 1: This is a really big debate. I mean it's really

1844
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: only a debate with Tesla because you know, Elon Musk

1845
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:56,840
Speaker 1: and Tesla they continuously say like, we don't need this,

1846
01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 1: we're not building this in but every car maker that

1847
01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:01,559
Speaker 1: I've seen is pretty much using it. And I'll be

1848
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 1: honest as someone who has a Tesla, like in the fog,

1849
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't trust self driving because it can't see anything

1850
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 1: that I can't see. And so with light R you

1851
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 1: can you can see like two four football fields ahead

1852
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 1: with these you know this laser I get. I don't

1853
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 1: know what is it laser vision?

1854
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:22,639
Speaker 7: It's it's so radar is you know, it's it's radio waves.

1855
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,639
Speaker 7: They bounce off something, it sends this, It sends information

1856
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:28,600
Speaker 7: back and the vehicle or whatever you're using, processes of

1857
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 7: that information and tells you, oh, this is so far

1858
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 7: away and it's so big. With light R it's using light.

1859
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 7: So it's lasers, that's what.

1860
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 9: It was.

1861
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:42,519
Speaker 1: Later Okay, I'm just saying that sounds weird, but okay, yeah,

1862
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: and so it can it can see things more. And

1863
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:47,280
Speaker 1: I feel like that, I mean, that seems to be

1864
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,080
Speaker 1: the way to go. I mean, Tesla's doing a good job,

1865
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 1: but like I feel like for overall, it's like all

1866
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:53,720
Speaker 1: these companies are doing they're all doing light R now

1867
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 1: and they're really pushing to use that.

1868
01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:58,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think, you know, one of the issues

1869
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 7: I think Tesla early on, you know, especially with the

1870
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:05,800
Speaker 7: Model three and everything, cost their concerns are really cost base.

1871
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 7: They wouldn't say it. You know, there's no dash cam

1872
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 7: in or I'm sorry, not a dash can dash cluster

1873
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 7: in the Model three and Model why, And they'll tell

1874
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,599
Speaker 7: us all day it's a design issue. Really, it's about costs.

1875
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 7: That's a that's an additional screen, that's an additional wine hardness,

1876
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:21,680
Speaker 7: that's additional software and development you have to do. So

1877
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 7: Tesla has always been very cost conscious and light are

1878
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:27,839
Speaker 7: you know, when especially when it first came ten thousand

1879
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 7: dollars per unit, is that's a lot of money. Now

1880
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 7: they're getting down, you know, five hundred dollars, one thousand

1881
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 7: dollars and so the you know, the costs of those

1882
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:40,360
Speaker 7: have come down, and compound that with the fact that

1883
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:43,879
Speaker 7: they really do add an additional it's just this additional

1884
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:47,120
Speaker 7: sense of redundancy. And when it comes to self driving cars,

1885
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 7: the more redundancy you can add to a vehicle, the

1886
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 7: better off your you are. And it's going to make

1887
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:54,720
Speaker 7: you know, like like you said, for you you don't

1888
01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 7: trust it because you know, there's other technology out there

1889
01:36:57,439 --> 01:37:00,639
Speaker 7: they can do additional information if if if the driver

1890
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 7: doesn't trust it, then what's the point.

1891
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And I think it's mostly just an inclement

1892
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:09,799
Speaker 1: you know, conditions and things like that. But you know, overall,

1893
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:12,120
Speaker 1: it's it's come a long way, I mean a really

1894
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 1: long way on the Tesla for sure. I do want

1895
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 1: to talk about this because I get these questions all

1896
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 1: the time. People say, why can't we get these cheap

1897
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 1: Chinese evs here in the US, I mean over in China,

1898
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: don't they have all these like super inexpensive EV's And

1899
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:26,880
Speaker 1: that's just not the case here. What's going on with that?

1900
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 7: So the cheap evs in China has to do with

1901
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 7: a lot of different For one thing, there's a lot

1902
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,719
Speaker 7: of incentives that the government has given it to Chinese

1903
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 7: automakers and the Chinese battery manufacturers in order to essentially,

1904
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 7: uh supercharge that industry. Chinese battery technology is lead, you know,

1905
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:49,720
Speaker 7: light years ahead of everyone else right now. But you know,

1906
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 7: they have they've they've gotten a lot of uh, you know,

1907
01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:55,559
Speaker 7: influx of money, you know, so incentives from the government.

1908
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:58,640
Speaker 7: So there's that. But the ham alligation is a is

1909
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 7: a weird word, hamuligation, they want to say it out loud,

1910
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 7: but it is creating a vehicle that will meet the

1911
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:09,520
Speaker 7: regulatory rules of a region. So in China, their homoligation,

1912
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:13,680
Speaker 7: their regulatory rules are different than the United States. And

1913
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 7: in China people don't really drive all that last, most

1914
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:19,840
Speaker 7: people are living in cities that there's a lot of congestion.

1915
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 7: It's not the United States, not you know, the big

1916
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 7: highways where people are flying down the road to eighty

1917
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:28,519
Speaker 7: ninety miles an hour. Over here, we have different rules.

1918
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:30,639
Speaker 7: So in order for those really cheap let's say five

1919
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 7: thousand dollars, ten thousand and fifteen thousand dollars evs to

1920
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:38,080
Speaker 7: be built so that they meet the regulatory rules of

1921
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:41,600
Speaker 7: the United States, they're going to be more expensive. There's

1922
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:45,800
Speaker 7: really not much that I think the bid dolphin or

1923
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 7: the seagull is also sold in Mexico and it's like

1924
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 7: five ten thousand dollars more than the Chinese version.

1925
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:54,439
Speaker 1: Ah okay, yeah, so.

1926
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 7: So you know they're in Mexico's f mulligation. Their regulatory

1927
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 7: system isn't quite as strict as the United States. So

1928
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 7: if you bring that car over the United States, you know,

1929
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:04,599
Speaker 7: now you're talking about you know, sometime that's maybe ten

1930
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:07,719
Speaker 7: fifteen being twenty five thousand United States, which is still

1931
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:10,080
Speaker 7: a deal. I mean, that's really like sort of the

1932
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 7: big selling point for the slates. So we are looking

1933
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:18,679
Speaker 7: at potential for less sense of evs. But you can't

1934
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 7: just grab a car from China and bring it over here.

1935
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 7: There's there's so many things that have to happen to

1936
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 7: that vehicle before you can bring it over and then

1937
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 7: of course we have you know, we can get into

1938
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 7: the tariff debate and what that means for bringing vehicles

1939
01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 7: into this country, but it really does come down to

1940
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:39,600
Speaker 7: making sure that the vehicle is built safely for the

1941
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:42,000
Speaker 7: region it's going into and in order for those Chinese

1942
01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 7: evs that we all see very they are very cheap.

1943
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:47,639
Speaker 7: You're like, why can't I get a fifteen thousand dollars EV. Well,

1944
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 7: because if you bring that car over here and it

1945
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:52,320
Speaker 7: get hits, it gets hit by an F one fifty,

1946
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 7: or if it hits a wall or another car or whatever,

1947
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:58,639
Speaker 7: it's not going to have the same crash worthiness as

1948
01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 7: the cars that are built specific for this country. And

1949
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 7: to be on it, you want to be safe when

1950
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:03,040
Speaker 7: you're in.

1951
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh, yes you do. As someone who was in an accident

1952
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, Yes, yes you do. It

1953
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 1: means the world ham alligation new word. Okay, thank you all.

1954
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:14,639
Speaker 1: Add that to the list. Roberto Baldwin, Roberto Baldwin, thanks

1955
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 1: so much for joining me today. Uh what's the best

1956
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 1: way for folks to follow you? Is it on like Instagram? Twitter?

1957
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,639
Speaker 7: I am on Instagram and I am on blue sky

1958
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 7: and it's.

1959
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:28,040
Speaker 11: St r g w y s.

1960
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Okay, it looks like stringways. I'll link you up on

1961
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: the website. Rich on tech dot tv, thanks so much

1962
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 1: for joining me today. Great conversation. Learned a lot, including

1963
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 1: a new word. Coming up. We are going to open

1964
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:42,320
Speaker 1: up the feedbag rich on tech dot tv. Submit your

1965
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:46,280
Speaker 1: your feedback right now. We've got some of it here.

1966
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:49,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna get some more, I guess right back after this.

1967
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:05,679
Speaker 1: The celebrity impersonation scams billions of dollars. They cost fans

1968
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 1: and estimated five point three billion dollars in twenty twenty five.

1969
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:13,400
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish the most targeted artists.

1970
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:17,439
Speaker 1: So here's what happens. Hackers take over verified social media

1971
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 1: accounts and then they push fake tickets, merchandise, crypto and

1972
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 1: all kinds of VIP offers. One in five concert tickets

1973
01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:28,519
Speaker 1: sold on social media part of a scam or was fake.

1974
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:32,719
Speaker 1: This comes from Billboard and Spikers. Spikers is a company

1975
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:35,800
Speaker 1: that protects these social media accounts, so it's in their

1976
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: best interest to let people know that this happens. Fans

1977
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: are often tricked by fake meet and greets, pre sale links,

1978
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:46,559
Speaker 1: giveaways and AI. Of course, as you know, is making

1979
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 1: all this stuff harder to spot. But imagine you know,

1980
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 1: you're a tailor Swift fan. You want to get tickets

1981
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:53,000
Speaker 1: to the concert, and they text you and say, hey,

1982
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 1: we can offer you these tickets. They just came available

1983
01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:00,000
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. Here you go times you know, hundred

1984
01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:03,000
Speaker 1: people they text that too. I mean it's really wild,

1985
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: So be careful. And like we learned last week, celebrities

1986
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 1: do not want to become your friends. They are not

1987
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: texting you. They're not trying to win your love. It's

1988
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:14,439
Speaker 1: a one way street. Let's be real with celebrities. You

1989
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 1: see them, you love them, They're not really loving you back.

1990
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's great to feel that they do, but

1991
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:25,719
Speaker 1: let's be real. Australia first, I think it's the first

1992
01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 1: country in the world to have a social media ban

1993
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:35,680
Speaker 1: for kids under sixteen. They've officially banned TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, snapchat,

1994
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:40,719
Speaker 1: x Reddit, twitch threads and others. Platforms have to remove

1995
01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 1: kids that are under sixteen and block new sign ups. Yes,

1996
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,880
Speaker 1: this is actually happening in the world. Companies that don't

1997
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 1: can pay fines. Now the government says the ban is

1998
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 1: not perfect on day one. Obviously, there's two sides to this.

1999
01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 1: The kids probably don't want it, parents are probably split

2000
01:42:58,479 --> 01:43:02,200
Speaker 1: on it. Tech butanies obviously don't want it. But think

2001
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: about the addiction and mental health improvements that it will

2002
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 1: have on this country. When no kid has it, you know,

2003
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:11,840
Speaker 1: nobody worries about the other kid having it. But here's

2004
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 1: the thing. I've not been to Australia during this ban.

2005
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:17,599
Speaker 1: I'd be curious to see, like on the ground, what

2006
01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:20,680
Speaker 1: it's like like our kids just completely figuring out how

2007
01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 1: to get around this, our parents helping them get around it.

2008
01:43:23,560 --> 01:43:26,960
Speaker 1: Or is everyone just like, oh cool, we have no

2009
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,759
Speaker 1: longer have to worry about this in our lives until

2010
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: after sixteen life is better. And yeah, it probably is.

2011
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:36,719
Speaker 1: So we know that kids are really addicted to this stuff.

2012
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:39,479
Speaker 1: Their brains are still forming, and it's probably a good

2013
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:42,599
Speaker 1: thing that Australia took that, even though the tech companies

2014
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:44,880
Speaker 1: do not want that to happen here in the US.

2015
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 1: Let's get to the feedback. John Wrights in, I liked

2016
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: your story on the ring Doorbell. I actually bought one

2017
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 1: of the first models and the company invited me to

2018
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:56,400
Speaker 1: their Ring Deep Explorers group to beta test new products.

2019
01:43:56,760 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 1: It was a blast trying out all the new gear.

2020
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 1: They even gave me professionally monitored devices for life. Oh wow.

2021
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:05,559
Speaker 1: They ended up using one of my suggestions, adding alarm

2022
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:08,679
Speaker 1: profiles so you can switch to preset alerts and device settings.

2023
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:12,639
Speaker 1: It's been a fun ride. Holden in Orange County says

2024
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 1: I first found you because you featured my company on

2025
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 1: your show. But I believe the best part is I

2026
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: became a fan. I really enjoy what you do. Your

2027
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 1: stories are interesting, entertaining, and you've saved my bacon more

2028
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 1: than once. A couple months ago, I was in a

2029
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: panic about being forced to move my desktop and laptop

2030
01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: to Windows eleven. Then you did a segment about installing

2031
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:33,879
Speaker 1: Windows security updates. Now I've got an extra year of support. Brilliant.

2032
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, Holden. Yes, I remember you coming to the

2033
01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:40,400
Speaker 1: studio do a story. Diana in California. Thanks for your

2034
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,960
Speaker 1: hard work and incredible knowledge. We are blessed. May God

2035
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 1: richly bless your family always. Thank you, Diana. Let's see

2036
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 1: Cammy in California. I really appreciate you. It's amazing what

2037
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 1: you do and you still answer all your emails, not

2038
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: all of them, but I do answer a lot. Your

2039
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 1: knowledge is so helpful, and you explain things in a

2040
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:00,599
Speaker 1: way anyone can understand. And on top that, you've got

2041
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,240
Speaker 1: a lovely family life. Thank you so much. Tell me

2042
01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 1: that my kids are screaming at me because I'm trying

2043
01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:06,880
Speaker 1: to take their screen time away, but yes, I do

2044
01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:12,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Carolyn says, I'm a Substack newsletter subscriber. I

2045
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:14,840
Speaker 1: was delighted when you took over the tech news on KFI.

2046
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 1: You're an everyman nerd in the nicest way. You're down

2047
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:20,800
Speaker 1: to earth and explain things so everyone can understand. Keep

2048
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 1: it up. Thank you, Carolyn. Don we got a lot.

2049
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 1: I think it's just the holiday spirit. So many kind

2050
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:28,960
Speaker 1: words this week. Don says, thank you for trying to

2051
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 1: make tech simple for the rest of us. I always

2052
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:33,840
Speaker 1: appreciate how you break things down, even when topics are

2053
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 1: way beyond my brain. Dust blessings Don and Jules in

2054
01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:40,800
Speaker 1: Hawaii says we were on vacation and so you pop

2055
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:44,320
Speaker 1: up on the Hawaii News. Very cool moment. Congratulations on

2056
01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:47,240
Speaker 1: your success. Jules. You know I know I'm on in Hawaii.

2057
01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 1: I know we're on on TV. I'm not sure on

2058
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 1: the radio, but I always say, like, shouldn't I be

2059
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,040
Speaker 1: able to go to Hawaii at any time? And like

2060
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 1: right off that entire trip because I'm on TV there, Yes,

2061
01:45:57,760 --> 01:45:59,840
Speaker 1: I would think so. But it's so funny. I don't

2062
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:01,760
Speaker 1: advertise the fact that we're on in a bunch of

2063
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:04,160
Speaker 1: different places, but people always text me when they're in

2064
01:46:04,160 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 1: their hotel room and they see my TV segment show

2065
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:09,679
Speaker 1: up on their hotel room TV and they're like, Rich, wait,

2066
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:12,160
Speaker 1: what how am I watch? It always throws people for

2067
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:15,679
Speaker 1: a loop. So yes, and then the radio show, obviously

2068
01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 1: we're on in different places. People don't take a picture

2069
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 1: of their radio, but they do text me and say

2070
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 1: I was traveling or I was driving through and I

2071
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,599
Speaker 1: found you anyway, thank you. No matter how you consume

2072
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:26,719
Speaker 1: this show, that's going to do it. For this episode,

01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 1: you can find links to everything I mentioned on my website.

2074
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 1: Go to rich on tech dot tv. I'm on social media.

2075
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: Please follow me there at rich on Tech. Next week

2076
01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:36,800
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to Matt Mazenko. He is the

2077
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:39,800
Speaker 1: general manager at Nomo Robo. We've talked about them on

2078
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:42,719
Speaker 1: the show. They are the big spam call and text

2079
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,200
Speaker 1: blocking app. So he's going to talk about all the

2080
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 1: things that's happening during the holidays with scams. Thank you

2081
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:51,280

01:46:51,280 --> 01:46:53,559
Speaker 1: can spend your time. I really do appreciate you spending

Speaker 1: the website. Rich on tech dot TV, hit contact and

2086
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 1: I may read your message on the show. One reminder

2087
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:08,120
Speaker 1: before I go, please please don't text and drive. It's

2088
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 1: not just for your safety, but for the safety of

2089
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: everyone around you. I know it's tempting you get that

2090
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:15,760
Speaker 1: message it pops up. Turn on the feature on your

2091
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:18,639
Speaker 1: phone where your phone doesn't even ring or doesn't even vibrate,

2092
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:21,320
Speaker 1: or doesn't even do a notification. Put that driving mode on.

2093
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,679
Speaker 1: It'll save you. Just I'm telling you from someone who

2094
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:27,120
Speaker 1: had an accent recently. Just you don't want to get

2095
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 1: involved in that. Please. Thanks to everyone who makes the

2096
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:34,560
Speaker 1: show possible. Adam in today for Bobo. Fantastic job. We

2097
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:36,600
Speaker 1: got Kim on the phones. Thank you for dealing with

2098
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:38,559
Speaker 1: all the calls today. My name is rich Demiro. I

2099
01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 1: will talk to you real soon.
