1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Google ditches one level of tracking. Could you give up

2
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: your phone for a day? The first car with Amazon

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: Fire TV built in? Plus your tech questions answered? What's

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: going on? I'm Rich Damiro and this is Rich on Tech,

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: think you should know about. It's also the place where

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: I answer the questions you send me and believe you

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: me yes, send them in. I am fielding questions all

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: day long on Instagram, on Facebook, on Twitter. Email is

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: like very popular. I guess that's because my Facebook page

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: is linked up to that, and I don't mind answering them.

12
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just sometimes, you know, if you email me,

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: sometimes it could take a while. But that's why I

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: like this show. So this show is really the place

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: where I take kind of the questions I get that

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: I think apply to you know, more than one person.

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: You know. If you're like Rich, I need a you know,

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: a highly specific app to monitor you know, I don't

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: know whatever. It's like, Okay, now if I feel like

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people need that app, fine, that's you know,

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: that's that's what I include in this show. That's kind

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: of what you know. The idea of this is is

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: that what you know, the questions I answer I'm seeing

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: over and over and I think that it can help

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of people that listen. So, by the way,

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles.

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: In case you're listening from a different city or a

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: different place, or maybe you know you saw my segment

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: on one of these stations that it's played on, because

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: it's not you know, most of the time people think

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: I'm just on KTLA, but we you know, I do

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: work for a big company. They have a bunch of

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: TV stations everywhere, and what I do is I just

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: send them my my segment, my report, and they send

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: it to all the stations, and the TV stations just

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: run it. So like this morning, you know, I saw

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: someone tagged me in like Mississippi they ran it, and

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: then in Honolulu where they ran it, which I thought

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: was so cool, and I think that deserves a visit, right,

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: don't I need to go there and see what's going on.

41
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: But it's one of these things where you know, people

42
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: just they don't realize that I'm oh. Las Vegas is

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: another one. But people don't realize that I'm in these

44
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: different places until they're traveling or a family member, or

45
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: they move and they're like, oh my gosh, I can

46
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: watch you in North Carolina. Wow, that's cool. So I

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: feel like the gears of progress are churning when it

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: comes to this whole pandemic in this vaccine. So that's

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: good news. I know people are getting it. Numbers are dropping.

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: That feels good. It feels like we're getting to a

51
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: place where we can all feel like this big sigh

52
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: of relief for not there just yet, but it's I

53
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: feel it we're getting there, and people are just feeling better.

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing this like cloud being lifted off

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: of the world in a way. I mean, I still

56
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: think that there. You know, there's a lot that it's

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: going to take for us to go back. I was

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: looking at my pictures I just typed in on Google

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Photos crowds, and oh my gosh, it's like, it's so

60
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: strange to look at a picture with all these people

61
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: in the background and you know, the Apple events and

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: all these you know, concerts that I went to, and

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: so it's probably gonna take a little bit of getting

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: used to to to do that, But I do think

65
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: we will get there. Someone told me the other day,

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: they you know, this whole vaccine thing. They said, oh,

67
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: I saw on social media that this person got a vaccine,

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: Now how did they get it? And I didn't get

69
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: it when I'm older and you know, they don't look

70
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: like they have any health issues or anything. And I said, well,

71
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, you don't really know what's going on in

72
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: their lives. You know that if you have some sort

73
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: of issue, you don't always wear on your sleeve, right.

74
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I see myself as a as a pretty

75
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: positive person in life. Yes, I have good days and

76
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: I have bad days, but for the most part, I

77
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: have prided myself on being positive and being a you know,

78
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: an inspiration for people to to, you know, with my

79
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: posts and what I say and how I do and

80
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: what I conduct myself. And I just feel like that's

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: kind of what I want to do. And you know,

82
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: you don't know from day to day what's happening in

83
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: my life, per se. I mean, sometimes I'll explain, you know,

84
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: when I feel like it's the time, but it's the

85
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: same thing with other people. You know, you just don't know.

86
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: And this is not just with health issues and the vaccine,

87
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: it's with anything. I mean, you may have people at

88
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: work that you know are a little grumpy and grumbly

89
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: and and you know, who knows what's happening in their

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: lives at home. And this happens over and over everywhere.

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: And I think with social media, we see this, you know,

92
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: polished version of people. We see them on vacation, We

93
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: see them having the best food, drinking the coolest drinks,

94
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: you know, hanging out with the coolest friends. And you

95
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: know that doesn't always tell you the full story. And

96
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: believe me, we all know that, but sometimes we forget.

97
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: So you know, it's kind of like we went on

98
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: a little mini you know, weekend get away a couple

99
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and you know, the kids were like,

100
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, they all they want to do is play

101
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: their iPads. And I'm like, here we are in this

102
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: beautiful place, and you know, all you want to do

103
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: is play your iPad on the couch, Like come on.

104
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: And so I had to have a little you know

105
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: talk with them and explain to them and not so

106
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: uncertain terms that like, you know, this is what we're

107
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: doing and this is how we're doing it. And you

108
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: know I'm not going to sit there and you know,

109
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: put that on Instagram, you know, but it's something as

110
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: parents we've all had to do. And so again, you know,

111
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: on Instagram, you probably just saw the nice picture of

112
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: us hanging out as a family, which is fine because

113
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: that's the memory you want to have, right and that's

114
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: the thing that you want to strive towards. But the

115
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: reality is, you know, people get real. People are real.

116
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: We're all human and you know, we all have our

117
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: struggles and you know it's not a bad thing to

118
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: sometimes share those with other people because sometimes it just

119
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: feels good, you know. So anyway, that's about as uh

120
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: as uh what's My wife is a counselor so believe me,

121
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: I I hear about, you know, all these things a lot.

122
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: You know, she deals with a lot of issues with

123
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: people and stuff like that. So I am you know,

124
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: I hear about this stuff a lot. And it's it's

125
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: taken many years of her wearing me down to sort

126
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: of come to the realization that, you know, we're all

127
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: human and you just have to accept that and understand

128
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: that and life is a better place when you do that.

129
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's it. That's my that's my talk for

130
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: this time around. But anyway, that's it. All right, let's

131
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: let's move into more techi techie stuff. Google. This is

132
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: a big announcement this week. It got a lot of headlines.

133
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: I think it was a little misconstrued in the headlines.

134
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: But what Google said is that they are going to

135
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: track us a little bit less, and they explained exactly why.

136
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: But I think the headline was mainly, like a lot

137
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: of it was like Google is not going to search

138
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: track your searches, which not really true. They're still going

139
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: to track your searches. What they're doing is is they're

140
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: giving up on third party cookies, and so third party

141
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: cookies are okay. Let's let me give you example. So

142
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: you go to a website that sells socks and you

143
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: look at some socks, and then you move on and

144
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: you move on with your life. And now you go

145
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: over to you know, another website, you read an article

146
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: on a newspaper, website or whatever, and you see an

147
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: ad for those socks served up by Google and you're like,

148
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: how did they know? Well, they know because that website

149
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: tracked it using you know, double click or whatever you

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: know Google has, and that little tracking cookie now reports

151
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: back to Google. And then when you know, those sock

152
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: plays advertised. They said, we want to we want to

153
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: target people that already came to our website in the

154
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: last thirty days and boom, now their ad shows up

155
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: everywhere you go. And so that's really how third party

156
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: cookie tracking works, and I probably overly simplified it, but

157
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I understand it to work. And

158
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: so what Google is saying is like, We're not really

159
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: going to do that anymore. Now what are they going

160
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: to do? Now? This is a big, you know, kind

161
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: of a problem for advertisers because they you know, a

162
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: lot of this sharing of information really helps to target

163
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: you with stuff. But what they did say is that

164
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: number one, they are not gonna come up with some

165
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: alter alternative to this, Like they're not going to band

166
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: together with the advertising agencies and come up with some alternative.

167
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: That was the big question. The other thing they're going

168
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: to do is they're still going to use their relationship

169
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: with you to target things to you. So what does

170
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: that mean If you search for socks on Amazon right

171
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: brightly colored socks, fun socks, cool socks, they can still

172
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: use that data to funnel into their advertising system. So

173
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: that when someone says we want to target people who

174
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: have looked at socks. They will still have that data

175
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,239
Speaker 1: about you. Now, they may not know the specific website

176
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: you ended up visiting, or they may not share that

177
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: information to what sock website you've been to, but they

178
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: will know that you're a lover of socks, and so

179
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: that information will still be there. The videos that you

180
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: look up on YouTube, that will still feed into their information.

181
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: So they're still using what they call their first party

182
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: information to understand you better. And if you think about Google,

183
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of first party information. I don't

184
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: think they're you using Gmail information anymore. Back when Gmail started,

185
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: the whole thing was that they would scan your email

186
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: and sell you ads against that. I don't believe they're

187
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: doing that anymore. I think that was a couple of

188
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: years ago. They switched. They said, you know what, we

189
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: already know enough about you. And that's what they're saying again,

190
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: we already know so much about you from the way

191
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: you use our products that we don't really need all

192
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: this extra data. Sure it'd be great, but they're trying

193
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: to be a good citizen, right And I say that

194
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: a little facetiously because they're trying to be a good

195
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: citizen in the fact that they'd rather do this on

196
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: their own than have the government come after them and say, uh,

197
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: you gotta do this, because they would rather steer the

198
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: ship than have the federal government or all these you know,

199
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: we saw it happen in Europe with privacy laws. They

200
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: would rather just kind of say, hey, we're gonna you know,

201
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna be a little bit more like Apple, and

202
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: we're going to say we're so privacy centric that you

203
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: don't even need to worry about coming up with laws

204
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: for us, because we love privacy, we love protecting folks privacy.

205
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: And so I think that's part of what's going on here.

206
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: And I think part of it is that Google knows

207
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of data on us, more more

208
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: so than probably anyone except for Facebook, And so you know,

209
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of what's happening here, is it? And

210
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: the other side of it is that it actually makes

211
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: their advertising stronger because now it's like these third party

212
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: advertising systems may not have as much data as the

213
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: first party, which is like a Facebook or a Google.

214
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: What's the other one? Am I missing one? What is it? Facebook? Google?

215
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Maybe Microsoft? I don't know, but that's it all right,

216
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: let us get to the first question of the day.

217
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: This question comes from Okay, this is an interesting one.

218
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: I said that I do. I said that I do

219
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: questions that are appeal to a lot of people. I

220
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: don't know if this does. Dear Rich, I'm wondering if

221
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: you know how to run DOS on iOS. I'm an

222
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: old school fan of a game called Begin Tactical Starship

223
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Simulation on my computer, but I can't run it on

224
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: my iPhone ten? Is there an app that can unzip

225
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: and run it so it can be run on my

226
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: iPhone ten? My personal favorite is the one point eighty

227
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: five version. I can only find one point six y five.

228
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Is there a way? I'd be grateful? Sincerely, Mark, So

229
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: I I don't know. I don't I don't think that

230
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: there is a way to uh, oh what happened here.

231
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: I think there's a way to run you know, DOS

232
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: on your iPhone with like an emulator, But as far

233
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: as installing a game on top of that, I don't

234
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: think that would be possible with the iPhone. But I

235
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: could be wrong, and so, uh maybe that's why I

236
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: want to do this question so I can mention it

237
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: on the podcast, and if if you know you're listening.

238
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: You're like, Rich, this is what I used to do this,

239
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, tweet me at rich on tech and let

240
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: me know. I did find an app called power Dos

241
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: on uh on, you know, the app store. Let's see

242
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: dos on iPhone. So I mean, yeah, power dos comes up,

243
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: DOS two, I dos comes up, but I don't think

244
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: that it I just don't know if it comes with

245
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: uh oh, look at this, yes, look at this. It

246
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: looks like you can wow. Okay. This is an app

247
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: called I Dos DOS Box for iOS. Recently Apple approved

248
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: iTunes file sharing for I DOS, so you can put

249
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: your games in iCloud drive and launch from the files app.

250
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: So I think that this might work. Let's see one

251
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: of the comments from three years ago. So I don't know.

252
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: Check out I Dos DOS Box for iOS and is

253
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: it still on the app store. Indeed, it is play

254
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: classic DOS games, So I think that's it. I Dos too.

255
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: I'll put this in the links on the notes, but

256
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: that's I think that's going to do it. It sounds

257
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: like you just put the file that you have that

258
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: exc or would you say it was a ZIP file.

259
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if it can unzip it, but maybe

260
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: depending on how you put it, but it sounds like

261
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: you put it in in your files in your iCloud

262
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: and boom. You can just do it. So let me

263
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: know if this works for you, because that's a mark.

264
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: That's an interesting question. So very cool. I you know,

265
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: I used to know all those doss commands when I

266
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: was a kid, like CD slash whatever was CD slash

267
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: dr you know, all those little oh when I was

268
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: such like a nerdy computer kid. I wasn't that nerdy,

269
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't like programming my own stuff, but I

270
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: was definitely you know, like formatting drives and you know,

271
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: installing stuff, and I knew my way around tos to

272
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: a certain extent, and then you know, things change. Best

273
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: Buy is now offering an an Apple Watch app that

274
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: is basically kind of like a triple A on your wrist,

275
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: but for kind of like senior citizens. I mean, this

276
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: is for anyone, but it's kind of it's definitely aimed

277
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: at the seniors. It's called Lively and this is in

278
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: a company that they purchased. I think it was a

279
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: great call. Is the name of the company, and Lively

280
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: is uh is kind of their brand that they're using

281
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: for this app, and so you install the SAP on

282
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch, and it does a couple things. It

283
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: can get you in touch with an urgent response agent

284
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: that can help out an emergency and non emergency situations.

285
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: They can even do things like if your car has trouble,

286
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: help you figure out, you know, how to get help. Now.

287
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: I was immediately going to dismiss this until I read

288
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: this line. And it also detects if you take a

289
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: fall and can you know, notify your family members or

290
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: they can call you to make sure you're okay. Now

291
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: you might be saying rich, you know Apple Watch already

292
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: has that built in. Well, kind of the way that

293
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Apple Watch has it built in is it It just

294
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: basically calls nine one one if you don't respond within

295
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: sixty seconds after a hard fall, and it can text

296
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I believe a couple family members to say you know

297
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: this happened, and your location. But this kind of takes

298
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: it a step further where it calls the user. Again,

299
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: this is for more like aimed at seniors that might

300
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: need a little bit more hand holding, a little bit

301
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: more assistance than sort of, you know, just the average

302
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: person like myself who might just be fine with the

303
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: fall detection right, So I was going to discount this

304
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: whole thing until I read this line. Best by Health

305
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: worked closely with Apple on this upcoming feature which is

306
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: coming soon, which is the first to use Apple's new

307
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: fall detection API to protect the health and safety of

308
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: users who've taken a hard fall. Now, I didn't realize

309
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: that this fall detection in the Apple Watches an API.

310
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing, And what that means is that developers

311
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: can build their apps on top of this fall detection,

312
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: so eventually, not just you don't have to just use

313
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: Apple's fall detection or Apple's system for fall detection. So

314
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: this means that a startup can come with can come

315
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: up with a better way of doing the fall detection,

316
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: maybe not the algorithm, but a better way of encompassing

317
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: what happens after that fall, whether it connects you directly

318
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: to someone or you know, in this case, you know

319
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: their agents. So I think that's pretty cool. And that's

320
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: why I mentioned this because it's not just like a

321
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: quote unquote dumb app that's on the iPhone that's trying

322
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: to replicate what Apple's doing. It's it's deeply integrated into

323
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch. And I love when I see stuff

324
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: like that because it means that it opens up options

325
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: for people. It's not just one thing. It's not just

326
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: Apple solution. Apple's saying, hey, we came up with this

327
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: solution as a start, but you know, you if you

328
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: can come up with something better, by all means, here's

329
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: kind of like the insides of what we did, and

330
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: you can play around with them and rearrange them and

331
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: make them work for you. And I just love that idea.

332
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: So again it's called lively. Here's the downside. It you know,

333
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: obviously requires an Apple Watch, but the plan that I

334
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: saw looks like it costs about thirty dollars a month,

335
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: which you know, I think to get the full benefit

336
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: of this, you'd probably want an Apple Watch cellular that

337
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: has you know, the calling in it. So that's another

338
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month, plus a slightly more expensive Apple Watch.

339
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: So now you're talking forty dollars a month for this feature.

340
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: I think my my family members are worth it. I

341
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, but a lot of seniors on

342
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: fixed incomes. It's it's you know, it's expensive, that's pricey,

343
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: and you know, eventually I would like to get my

344
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: mom an Apple Watch with this feature, maybe not the

345
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: lively one, maybe just the fall detection because to me,

346
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: like I have it on my watch and it just

347
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: feels like a little guardian protecting you. Right. The other day,

348
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: I was playing with my kids in the Oh, gosh,

349
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: I just thought of another story. I was playing my

350
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: kids in the backyard and you know, we were just

351
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: rough housing, and I whatever, it triggered the fall detection

352
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: on the watch, and I said, I'm okay, you know

353
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: it's fine, but I will tell you. Okay. So I

354
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: was out on a run with my kid. We were

355
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: doing what we call bike run, where he goes on

356
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: the bike and I run with him. And I've ran forever.

357
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: I've run for many many years, and I feel like

358
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm at a really good place with the running situation

359
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: because at this point, all I need is my Apple Watch,

360
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: which has music and cellular and fitness tracking on it,

361
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: as well as the AirPods, which you know, with those

362
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: two things, I can just run without anything else. And

363
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: it feels so amazing, you know, because I remember the

364
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: days of running through the years with like a tape

365
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: player and you know, a CD player and then a

366
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: mini disc player and an MP three player and then

367
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: the iPhone strapped your arm. You know, wired headphones. Now

368
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: it's wireless. So we've seen this big evolution. And now,

369
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: of course with cellular it means that you know wherever

370
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: I am. If there's an emergency while I'm running, I

371
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: can get the help I need. Now. I was running

372
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: along Merry Old Way, no big deal, and all of

373
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm not kidding, I tripped in a way

374
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: that I have never ever tripped in a run ever,

375
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: and it was a you know, Los Angeles gotta love

376
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: the uneven sidewalks that I don't think the city takes

377
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: care of. I think it's on the homeowner to take

378
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: care of. Anyway, that's a whole nother thing. But anyway,

379
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, the sidewalk was a little uneven and I

380
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: just missed whatever my brain did, it miscalculated the where

381
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: I should land, and I hit the sidewalk instead of

382
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: the higher part of the sidewalk, instead of the lower part,

383
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: which was like an inch lower, you know, I mean

384
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: an inch away, and the sidewalk was pretty high, and

385
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: so I don't know, whatever this was was enough for

386
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: me with the momentum I was doing to literally I

387
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: projected forward, so hard and so fast and so with

388
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: such an uncertainty that has never happened to me. And

389
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where I felt myself

390
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: in a slow motion stumble where I would have landed

391
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: on my face. I was able to get my balance

392
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: and maybe because I run a lot and I have

393
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: a little bit more stability or whatever, I don't know,

394
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: whatever did something saved me. And if not, I'm not kidding,

395
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: I would have probably bashed my face into the ground.

396
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: And so again the reason I tell you this story

397
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: is not so you feel sorry for me. I mean,

398
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: definitely I was shaken up and my kid was like,

399
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like he saw me, you know, wow.

400
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: But I had the Apple Watch, and I said, this

401
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: would have been one of those moments if my kid

402
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: wasn't with me and I had the Apple Watch on

403
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: and I actually did not recover from that fall or

404
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: that stumble, I should say, this would have been a

405
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: time when the Apple Watch probably would have sprung into

406
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: action action and called nine one one for me, and

407
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: I probably would have needed it. So anyway, I like

408
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: stuff like this. I think it's it's very important and

409
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: I feel like we're going to see I mean, Google

410
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: or sorry. Apple is really ahead on this, but I

411
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: think we're going to see much more, you know, where

412
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: our electronics that we carry on our body are going

413
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: to help us in these situations. And by the way,

414
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned this on the Pixel phone on my Facebook page.

415
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: Pixel has a feature called crash Detection, where your phone

416
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: will detect if it's in a car crash and send help.

417
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: And so I think if you have a Pixel which

418
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: I know is only a few of you, sign up,

419
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: you know, definitely open up that's called the safety app.

420
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Open that up and get that going. I think that

421
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: Samsung really needs to step this up and get a

422
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: safety app on their phone, and I think that Apple

423
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: should do the same on the iPhone. So if these

424
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: phones detect, you know, they have all these sensors on them,

425
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: they detect a sudden impact, they need to spring into

426
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: action and help us. The Apple Watch is a good start,

427
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: but I don't think you should have to have an

428
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: Apple Watch for that to happen because many more people

429
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: are carrying phone. M mmmmmm, all right, let's get to

430
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: another question. Joanne says, uh, hey, Rich, you've been so

431
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: kind with your recommendations. I'm wondering if I can bother

432
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: you with a question. We've been using e set as

433
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: our virus protection company for the last decade and we're delighted. However,

434
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: they're no longer offering protection with computers running Windows seven.

435
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: I've got two computers doing this. I know there are

436
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: millions of people who use Windows seven. I'm wondering if

437
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: you'd be so kind if you have any suggestions for

438
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: a company who would cover us with Windows seven machines.

439
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: My husband is scouring the web as we speak for leads,

440
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: but we would trust your recommendation for the best out

441
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: there above any reviews on the net. Thank you, Joanne.

442
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: So Joanne, I you know, to be honest, I don't

443
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: really use virus protection on my Mac, so I can't

444
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: and I don't really have a Windows I mean I

445
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: do have a Windows computer for my kid. But again,

446
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: I think for most people with Windows ten, I think

447
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: Windows Defender is going to be just fine. But the

448
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: website that I like that has the ratings of this

449
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: stuff is avdash test dot org. Av dash test dot org,

450
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: and they test these things all the time, and so

451
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: if you look at their website, which for default shows

452
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: up in German for me, but you can just press

453
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: English and you'll get it in English. But uh, you know,

454
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: they've got all the different virus protection for computers for

455
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, Android, and you know they break it out

456
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: by Android, Mac and Windows, so they've got home users companies,

457
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: and then you know mobile. Now iPhone, we've already been

458
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: through this. You don't really need it for iPhone, so

459
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Android. I probably would recommend it,

460
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: although I hate the persistent notification that has to have

461
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: on there to be able to do real, real time

462
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: scans mac os. I mean, that's up to you. If

463
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: you feel like you're clicking a lot of random links,

464
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: go ahead. I don't think you need it. But you know,

465
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: we are seeing more instances of things happening on the Mac,

466
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: and honestly, we always talk about viruses, but I think

467
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: malware is way bigger of a problem. I'm talking these

468
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: browser extensions, these apps that are similar sounding to the

469
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: ones that I recommend, and people go and they Google

470
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: and they download some random app that's totally malware. That

471
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: I think is much more of an issue for people

472
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: than say a virus. You know, we think of this

473
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: virus that's gonna weasel its way into the innerds of

474
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: our computer and ruin everything. But honestly, the malware is

475
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: the stuff that affects us on a day to day basis,

476
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: and it's just annoying. With the pop ups and the

477
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: redirection of our web search history and the incessant notifications

478
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: on our computer. That is what I think is much

479
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: bigger of a problem. So I recommend malware bites for

480
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: those scans. But anyway, so Windows virus protection, if I'm

481
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: looking at this, the top three that they recommend. The

482
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: first one is called on lab Ahn lab I have

483
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: not heard of that one, but they like it. But

484
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: the two that I do like that are next are

485
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: a VAST and AVG. And a vast has free antivirus.

486
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: I would go with that. Let me just confirm that

487
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: a Vast actually has a version for Windows seven. It

488
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: may not because you're saying Windows seven. A lot of

489
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: these companies have ditched support because Windows seven is not

490
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: really you know, a big it's not really out there anymore. Okay,

491
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: So let's see. Let's go to Windows and let's see

492
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: also available for PC. Okay, I'm looking and let's see

493
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: system requirements. Gotta scroll all the way down. Oh, interesting,

494
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: they answer the question. They answer the question about Windows Defender.

495
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: Can I just use Windows Defender? And it says Windows

496
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: Defender exists to protect your PC if you don't have

497
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: anything else. It was not designed to be your long

498
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: term AV solution. Okay, all right, so now this says

499
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: Windows ten. Oh okay, yep, Windows seven compatible. So there

500
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: you go. So there you go. Of asked free antivirus,

501
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: go ahead, download it. That's what I recommend it. It's free,

502
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: it's easy, and people seem to like it. All right,

503
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: could you do without your smartphone or any screen for

504
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: twenty four hours? I am going to try this. I

505
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: challenge you to try it as well. This is gonna

506
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: be tough National Day of Unplugging. Did the story on

507
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: KTLA today happened sundown Friday March fifth to sundown Saturday,

508
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: March sixth, So even if you're listening to this past

509
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: that time, which some of you may be, you know,

510
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: you can still try this on your own. I mean,

511
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be the day that you know

512
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: it happens, but anyway, this is the day that is happening,

513
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try it. I am going to put

514
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: my phone in this little sleeping bag. They gave me,

515
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 1: and see if I can stay off my phone for

516
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. And the idea behind this is, you know,

517
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: we know that that social media number one, and our

518
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: phones have led to number one incessant scrolling, right, whether

519
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: it's you or your spouse or your friends. When you

520
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: have a free moment in your life, what do you do.

521
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: You take your phone out of your pocket, and you

522
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: start scrolling, and you look around, and you go and

523
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: And it's funny because notifications started as a way to

524
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: kind of train us to get back into these apps,

525
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: even when we stopped using them, you know, even when

526
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: we kind of put the phone down. But I mean,

527
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure you realize, as I have realized, doesn't necessarily

528
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: take a notification for me to check Facebook. So here's

529
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: my little routine. I open my phone, I go Gmail,

530
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: I go Instagram, I go to probably Twitter first, then Instagram,

531
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: then Facebook. And it's a cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle,

532
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if there's a notification or not. Now I've got,

533
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: you know, eight hundred thousand followers on Facebook, one hundred

534
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: thousand on Instagram, and you know a couple hundred on Twitter,

535
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: maybe more. But you know, so I'm getting you know,

536
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: there's always something like it's a slot machine. There's always

537
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: something interesting for me to look at. Right, There's always

538
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 1: a comment coming in, there's always a message coming in,

539
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: there's always a reply coming into something I've posted. So

540
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: I get that. I am in a position that you

541
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: know is tricky because you know, I'm there's always something new,

542
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: and so I'm always being rewarded with that little hit

543
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: a dopamine when I open my phone. Now, for you,

544
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: it may be a little bit different because you may

545
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: not have all those things coming in, but the problem

546
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: is still the same. You know, you're checking it for

547
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: your Instagram stories and you know, see what people posted

548
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: and whatever. So no matter what, we all have a problem,

549
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: and our phones are just this this constant you know,

550
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: I call it the slot machine. It's this constant source

551
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: of a little bit of like little little push up.

552
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: You know, you go, you see that message, you see

553
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: that reply, you see that post, and it just kind

554
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: of your brain feels good for a second. And so

555
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: this National Day of Unplugging is just something that kind

556
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: of it started actually many many years ago in two

557
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, and you know they've been doing ever

558
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: since so twenty four hours, try to give up your phone.

559
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to do it. And they, you know,

560
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: in our segment on KTLA, we talked about all the

561
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: ways to kind of help you get through this mental

562
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: breakdown that you're going to eventually have because your phone

563
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: is like literally your lifeline. And so you know, they say,

564
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of plan your day, plan a hike. You know,

565
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: I said, don't worry about taking pictures for the day,

566
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: because you know, for me, it's always like, well, I

567
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: have an Apple Watch, which is fine, but I need

568
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: my phone for pictures. Well that camera. Why do you

569
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: think they keep getting better? It's because, oh, it continues

570
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: to latch you onto your phone. I know, I get

571
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: fired up about this stuff because I love technology. You

572
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: know that you're listening to a person whose name is

573
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: rich on Tech, right. I love technology, but I also

574
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: see the impact it has had in our lives in

575
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: a very negative way. When I go out to dinner

576
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: and I see couples on their phones at the table,

577
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: which you know, I'm talking about years ago, back when

578
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, in the before days. But you know, when

579
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: you sit there at a dinner and people are just

580
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: looking at their phones, and the kids are all zombies.

581
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: I call them iPad zombies. It's really sad to me,

582
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: and there's a place for it. And of course, you

583
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: know I'm not perfect. Believe me, I do the same

584
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: thing I you know, not on my dinners. Believe me,

585
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: not on my dinners. I do when I am at

586
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: dinner and with friends. Most of the time I am.

587
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: I am very cognizant of having my phone away. Now.

588
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: I am on my phone a lot, probably more than

589
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people. In fact, let's just take a

590
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: look at what my screen time is averaging. Let's see

591
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: how do I go settings? I need to put that

592
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: thing back on my phone. Okay, screen time for me, okay, ready,

593
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: daily average three out four hours a day. That's a lot.

594
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: That's four hours a day is a lot. I think

595
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: that's a lot to be staring at my phone. So

596
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: let's see. My kids are kids daily average are two

597
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: hours a day. So and I you know that's that's

598
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: not including their laptops though, that includes their iPad. That

599
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: includes their iPad. So yeah, two hours a day. But

600
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: I severely limit their time on there, not severely, but

601
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean they you know, they do have time on there,

602
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: but you know, Look, this is one of those things

603
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: that I think as we evolve as a tech centric world,

604
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: we are gonna we are gonna come to a realization

605
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: with all the stuff that it's good and it's bad.

606
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: And I think that tech is amazing. I think the

607
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: way it connects people is amazing. This stuff, what technology

608
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: has done in our lives is just mind boggling, and

609
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: the benefits are so there. But there are some downsides

610
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: that I think, especially as the younger folks come up

611
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: through this world and post every single thing that happens

612
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: in their lives in real time, and you know, I

613
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: just that that's gonna have an impact that is not

614
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: a very positive impact. So as long as we're aware

615
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: of this stuff and you try it out, I think,

616
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a good thing to just

617
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: just be aware of. So all right, let's get to

618
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: the next question. By the way, you can check out

619
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: my little sleeping bag on my Instagram at rich on Tech,

620
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: my little National Day of Unplugging sleeping bag for my phone.

621
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: I might need to lock it up to really not

622
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: use it. Craig says, Hey, rich I'm in the mac

623
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: universe with an iMac, a MacBook an iPad in an iPhone. Wow,

624
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: how do you suggest I set up my file system?

625
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: I have many folders for all of my various interest

626
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: in work categories and many subfolders. I have most folders

627
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: in my home folder, with some shared to other devices.

628
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: With Dropbox in iCloud Drive, I don't really use the

629
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: documents folder, at least on purpose me either. I also

630
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: have a lot of folders or aliases on my desktop.

631
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: It's a bit unwieldy. What do you suggest? Thank you,

632
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: Greg Greig, This is a good question. I'll tell you

633
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: what I do, and you can you know, you can

634
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: kind of follow along or you know, do whatever you like.

635
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: So a couple of things. I use Google Drive, I

636
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: use Dropbox, and I use iCloud Drive, and then I

637
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: that's basically it. I try to keep everything in the cloud.

638
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: So no matter what, if I'm you know, doing anything

639
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: on my computer, it's it's sync to the cloud. Now.

640
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: The only exception to that is I believe my desktop

641
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: on my computer it used to be sync to iCloud drive.

642
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it is anymore. Let me say no,

643
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: it's not. So there's a way to do that where

644
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: you can set it up. I personally would recommend it.

645
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why I actually have it turned off.

646
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. I think I turned it off

647
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: because I use my desktop as kind of a respite

648
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: from the cloud. So if I have like a big

649
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: file that I don't really want to sync to the cloud,

650
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: or I'm just like, you know, I'm doing a lot

651
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: of video stuff, you know, if I just want to

652
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: have like a file in transition, right, so I will

653
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: just keep it on my desktop and it's not going

654
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: up to the file the cloud for like thirty seconds

655
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: and then coming back down. You know, it's just there.

656
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: But you know, you have to forget, have to remember

657
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: not to put anything important there. So that's how I

658
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: use my desktop. I agree the document's folder. Things only

659
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: go in there if it's a mistake, if like an

660
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: app synks to it by itself. But what I do

661
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: is on my sidebar on my finder, I just keep

662
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: my most popular folder. So I've got my Google Drive,

663
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: you know some of the folders that I go in

664
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: and out of all the time. Like I've got this

665
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: folder on my drop box called shared with Rich and

666
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: that's the folder that I use to exchange stuff with

667
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: my camera. Person you know, for editing, and then I

668
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: keep all of my KTLA stuff in there so it's

669
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: all you know, organized. And then I, you know, once

670
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm inside my folders, I keep it all very organized.

671
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: And what I found that works really well is just

672
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: set up a new year for every year. So Google

673
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Drive twenty twenty one. Inside twenty twenty one is where

674
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: all of my files live. So when I get a

675
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: bank statement from my bank, I make a new folder

676
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: that is called you know, you know, Bank of America,

677
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: and I put it inside the twenty twenty one and

678
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: I drag and dropped it into there. When my kid

679
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: brings home a piece of art from school that I scan,

680
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: I scan it in and put you know, Parker's artwork

681
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: inside the twenty twenty one folder. And I feel like

682
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: future rich will enjoy that, because when I need to

683
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: find something, I don't think i'd want one giant folder

684
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: called Bank of America with everything I've ever gotten from

685
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: Bank of America in there. It makes a little bit

686
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: more sense for me anyway to break it out by year. Now,

687
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to iCloud drive again, that's kind of

688
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: a transitory folder as well, so I keep you know,

689
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: some stuff in there, but it's mostly, you know, just

690
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: quick things that I need to access on my iPhone

691
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: and if I want anything, you know a little bit

692
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: more longer term. I have this new folder called iOS

693
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: Transfer and that enables me to use Google Drive with

694
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: both an Android and an iOS device. So iCloud Drive

695
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: snks really nicely with you know, the iPhone, but then

696
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: if you go to Android you can't find that stuff.

697
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: So I've started a new folder called iOS Transfer, which,

698
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: by the way, if you install Google Drive or I

699
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: think any of these like Dropbox, you can go on

700
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: your files folder on your on your iPhone or iPad

701
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: and under locations you can add the locations from these folders,

702
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: so you can add like a drop Box folder, you

703
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: can add a Google Drive folder. I think one Drive

704
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: is supported, so Apple has done a really good job

705
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: of blending in our I guess, building in support for

706
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: one Drive and Google Drive, and it's really quite slick.

707
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: So I know iCloud Drive. Everyone has iOS products and

708
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: Apple products is familiar with, but you can almost get

709
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: that same level of functionality that drag and drop from

710
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: your desktop to to your iPad or your iPhone if

711
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: you just install the app for like say Dropbox or

712
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: Google Drive, and then when you go in to your

713
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: iCloud locations, you can add a new location, which is

714
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: like you know, an iCloud or a Google Drive location

715
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: or whatever. So it's pretty slick, and I know it's

716
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: a long answer for how I do it. Look, you know,

717
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: I think it's the most important thing is to just

718
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: come up with a system, and it's your system, and

719
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: that's it, and that's the main thing. Now, don't ask

720
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: me how much stuff I have in there that's not organized,

721
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: because you know, before I came up with my nice

722
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: yearly system, I think it was twenty twenty, no, twenty

723
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: nineteen maybe, and so before I came up with that,

724
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: I kind of was all over the place. And so

725
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: I'm still going through and actually organizing my Google Drive

726
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: and getting all that stuff organized. Oh, twenty seventeen is

727
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: when I started the year thing. Ah, that's been that's

728
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: been quite a while. Twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,

729
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. And I also share that

730
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: that folder with my wife so she can access everything

731
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: in there as well, which is really cool. So good question,

732
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for asking, And let's move on to the next story,

733
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: which is yet another streaming service. Why why as yet

734
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: another streaming service, Mount Plus is launching to replace CBS

735
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: All Access. I'm not gonna do too much on this,

736
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: but ten dollars a month, add free, six dollars a

737
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: month with advertising, and yeah, what do you get? You

738
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: get all the brands from you know, Viacom, SO, CBS, MTV, Beet,

739
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network plus, Paramount Pictures. So Paramount

740
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: Pictures was a big holdout with some of the like

741
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: movies anywhere, like some of this stuff. So you know,

742
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: Paramount Pictures probably has a lot of movies on this thing.

743
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: I actually need to try this out. So what do

744
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: you do? You? Oh, the one big show that's not

745
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: on here is Yellowstone, which I know a lot of

746
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: people will find surprising. It's on Peacock. I guess they

747
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: cut that deal before Paramount Plus was going to be

748
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: a thing, and maybe before they knew not Peacock, but

749
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: Yellowstone was going to be such a hit. It's like

750
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: one of these things where Paramount Plus like, ah, we

751
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: could have built our entire, you know, our entire streaming

752
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: marketing plan off a Yellowstone, you know, and what do

753
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 1: they have now? SpongeBob is the big thing I've seen

754
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: them advertise, and some other you know, like what SpongeBob

755
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: the news? You know some of these shows they have

756
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: and the original shows. I guess they have Star Trek stuff.

757
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: But it seems like it's a pretty solid streaming service.

758
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: You get a lot of stuff for your money. But

759
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll subscribe to this. I'll definitely

760
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: try it right now. They're giving you one month free,

761
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 1: and after March it's only gonna be a one week trial,

762
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: so I would try to get the free now and

763
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: then they're also going to do a five dollars a

764
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: month based here that is supported by advertising, but removes

765
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: your local CBS live live stream. So if you like that,

766
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: They've got Fraser on there, They've got rug Rats. If

767
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: you have CBS all Access, your CBS all Access apps

768
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: are meant to switch automatically update to switch to Paramount

769
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: Plus and you can sign in with your CBS all

770
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: Access credentials, so they made that easy. But this is

771
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: a you know, this isn't a sea of streaming services.

772
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: Disney plus, HBO Max, Apple TV plus, Peacock, Discovery Plus.

773
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot to subscribe to. I'm subscribed to a

774
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: lot of these things. This, by the way, I'm going

775
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 1: off of a c neet article. Can I just say

776
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: cnet dot com has really up their game? So c

777
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: net was was owned I used to work there, by

778
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: the way, you may remember that some of you, but

779
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: CBS bought c net, and I feel like the quality

780
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: took a little nose dive. And the reason for that

781
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: is that CBS, this giant company, they didn't really understand

782
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: what to do with cnet, and there was all these

783
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: competitors that came up that were just much more digital

784
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: centric and much more kind of nimble than this big

785
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: giant CBS owned c net, and so cnet kind of,

786
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was kind of like a

787
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: boat being tossed around in the waves. I feel like,

788
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: I don't this is not any insider info. This is

789
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: just a way I saw it. And then, you know,

790
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: c neet kind of struggled to compete against even someone

791
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: like an MKBHD who's like, you know, a YouTuber that

792
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: does his own thing. You know, his videos are killing

793
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: what you know c net would do. And now I

794
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: feel like they've kind of hit their stride a little

795
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: bit more. They were actually purchased by a company I

796
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: think it's called Red Ventures, and they own the Point

797
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: Sky and they own a whole bunch of other properties

798
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: like digital. It's a very digital first products, right or

799
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: company or portfolio, I should say. And so now I

800
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: feel like what I've seen on the homepage on c net,

801
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: I feel like they're really starting to kill it and

802
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: they're really starting to hit their stride of they get it,

803
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: they get what they are now. They're a website that

804
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: people go to to get information. It's not just tech stuff.

805
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: It's like almost like an enthusiast website of like stuff

806
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: that tech people like myself might be into. So you know,

807
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: you're talking cars, even COVID nineteen, information, how to articles,

808
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: money articles, health articles, smart home deals. So I think

809
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: they're doing a really good job and I'm starting to

810
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: see a lot more stuff that when I look at

811
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: their website, I'm like, Okay, I want to read this.

812
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: I want to I'm digging this, and so I it's

813
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: you know, it's a daily stop for me. And I

814
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: think that they're just doing a lot more now. I

815
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: think the synergy with the you know, marketing backing that

816
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: they have with the points guy and that company read

817
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, red Ventures is huge because they are a

818
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: kind of an affiliate marketing company. So I think that

819
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: they are going to see a lot of synergy with

820
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: that because you read an article about this thing and

821
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: then you buy it on Amazon or wherever, and I

822
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: think that's that's going to do really well for them.

823
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, seen a nice job. And I'm not just

824
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: saying that because I used to work there, you know,

825
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: I really do and I know a lot of the

826
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: people there. But I do think they are doing a

827
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: really nice job. So let's get to the next question.

828
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: Dana says, Hey, Richie helped me with a question a

829
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: while back. Wow, trend here, I'm hoping you have the

830
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: answer to this. I picked up my iPhone earlier this

831
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: morning to see the apps wiggling and the little X

832
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: sign on them. I clicked the home button and thought

833
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: all was well, But now I realized that I deleted

834
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: one of my apps on my first screen, and I

835
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: don't know which one it was. Is there a way

836
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: to detect the last app that was deleted? Thank you, Dana, Dana,

837
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: I don't know of a way to detect the last

838
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: item deleted. But I will say I think if the

839
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: app was on your home screen, you should be able

840
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: to figure out which app it was pretty quickly in

841
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: the next couple of days because you probably used it

842
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: a lot, right, I mean, that's my advice. Now, this

843
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: is the reason my mom has an Android, and this

844
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: is the reason why I use a feature that locks

845
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: down the home screen. And on a lot of these phones,

846
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: like the Samsung phones have it built in I think

847
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: LG and a lot of these third party app you

848
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: know app what are they call them launchers? They have

849
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: it built in where you can lock down the home screen.

850
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: So if you're setting up a phone for a loved

851
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: one that's an Android, look into that feature where you

852
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: can lock down their home screen once you set it

853
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: up on iPhone. I'll be honest, iPhone gets a total

854
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: from me. What I did. I got so frustrated with

855
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: the iPhone and their system. By the way, it's been

856
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 1: the same system to rearrange apps on the iPhone since

857
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: day one, and it has not gotten even a millimeter

858
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: better in ten years or however many years the iPhone

859
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: has been around thirteen years now, fourteen years. It is terrible.

860
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: I in fact a dread trying to rearrange apps on

861
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: the iPhone because it is so horrible. And now with widgets,

862
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: god forbid. You try to try out a new widget,

863
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: it rearranges everything and messes you up. So Apple needs

864
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 1: to come up with a way where you can save

865
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: a home screen profile so that you can then change

866
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: that home screen, rearrange things, and then just go back

867
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: to what you had. Say I want to go back

868
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: to my old profile, you know that, and save. Maybe

869
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: you want to save a couple of these, kind of

870
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: like the way you can have a couple faces on

871
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch. So what I did was on the iPhone.

872
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: I've actually declared bankruptcy on the iPhone. I have now

873
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: just one home screen and the rest of my home

874
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: screens are all gone. And I now just use the

875
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: app library and pull down to search because that's all

876
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: I can do. I don't want to deal with these

877
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: apps moving around in a bunch of different places every

878
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: time I try a new app out. I just don't.

879
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: And so that's what I do now, and you know,

880
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: there you go. So that's I feel like sometimes I'm

881
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: very angry on this podcast with my views, but at

882
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: the same time, it's just so frustrating when you know,

883
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: like I said, as a person who is involved in

884
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: this stuff every day and understands like what's happening, fine,

885
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: I get it. And if it's frustrating for me, I

886
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: can't imagine how frustrating it is for the average end

887
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: you who is just trying to like make it through

888
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: life and you know, do this stuff and it's just like, ugh,

889
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: you're like a salmon swimming upstream. But maybe they do

890
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: it pretty well, so maybe it's not a salmon. Maybe

891
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: it's like a I don't know, a guppy, like a

892
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: goldfish that's trying to swim upstream because they probably have

893
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: much much tougher time. All Right. I mentioned this in

894
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: the intro the I'm not gonna, you know, go into

895
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: this too much. I always say that Wagoneer from Jeep

896
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: this is an upcoming car. It is gonna be the

897
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: first to have fire TV for auto. And at first

898
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: when I saw this, I was like, what a fire

899
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: TV in your car? Like that doesn't seem dangerous on

900
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: the home screen right on the central dashboard screen. So

901
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: here's the deal. Grand Wagoneer and the Wagoneer are gonna

902
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: make their debut on March eleventh, they're gonna be the

903
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,959
Speaker 1: first to have Amazon Fire TV for Auto, which gives

904
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: you access to apps, movies, shows, and alexa. And so

905
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: what this does is you can start to show on

906
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 1: your TV at home and it will sink the location

907
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: of where you're at to your car. And at first

908
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: I thought this sounded, like I said, very dangerous. But

909
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: at the same time, they say that this is for

910
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: passengers only, so the passenger and the backseat folks can

911
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: watch this stuff and the driver can't see the screen

912
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: unless the vehicle is in park, and then the driver

913
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: can also join in on the fire TV magic. So

914
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's kind of cool. I think it's

915
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: kind of weird. But at the same time, we're definitely,

916
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, we're seeing more and more of the slow

917
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: march towards autonomous cars, and I think we're just seeing

918
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: more entertainment in cars, more streaming services, and I think

919
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: that they've probably you know, gone to great lines to

920
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: make sure that the driver is not distracted by this.

921
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: My big question is if the passenger is listening to something.

922
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: I assume they have to use Bluetooth headphones so that

923
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: they don't, you know, the drivers want to be listening

924
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: to like SpongeBob SquarePants playing on you know, the new

925
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: Paramount All Access while he's driving or she and you know, so,

926
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: how does that work now with our kids? You know,

927
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: in the back seat they're just on their iPads. We're like,

928
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: can you blaze put your headphones on so mom and

929
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: dad don't have to listen to this. And I also

930
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: feel like it's sad if my wife was just watching

931
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: a show while I'm driving, maybe on a long road trip.

932
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: But it's just kind of like, again, we're getting into

933
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: this thing of like everyone's doing their own thing, everyone's

934
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: on their own pace. At this point. It used to

935
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: be in the world everyone was at almost the same

936
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: place right when it came to You would watch the

937
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: Friends finale on the Friday night or Thursday night, and

938
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: you would watch the Seinfeldt finale and we all talked

939
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: about the next day. But now every single person in

940
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: the world is at their own pace, even couples. So

941
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: you may be watching a show side by side with

942
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: your wife, but she's two episodes ahead of you and

943
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: you have to wait to discuss it, or your people,

944
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: your friends at work. So it's this really weird society

945
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: that we're getting into where we're all at like a

946
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: it's like a marathon that we're all just like at

947
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: a different stride and we come together certain times. I

948
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: think there's these big events like the super Bowl, and

949
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: you know, it used to be like the Emmys or

950
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 1: the most it the Oscars, but now even that stuff

951
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: people just aren't watching. You know. It's like live sporting

952
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: events are pretty much the only place where we're all

953
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: on the same page, you know, these live events, these

954
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: shared experiences, concerts and all this stuff. And I think

955
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: that's why we're seeing more and more of an interest

956
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: in this kind of stuff because we're we're longing for

957
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: that human connection and some of these things are enabling that. Yes,

958
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: you can, you know, have a watch party on Huglo,

959
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: but is that really the same now? I get it.

960
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: It's fun, and it's it's a good replacement for some

961
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: of these things that you just couldn't do before. But

962
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: you know, at the same time, I think we're all

963
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: longing for that shared experience. While I'm on the the

964
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: conversation of cars, let me tell you about the Chevy

965
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: Bolt EUV I test drove this last week and I

966
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: gotta say, I'm really digging the electric cars. I think

967
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go all in and purchase an electric

968
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: car because I just see the writing on the wall.

969
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: Volvo announced this week that they are going all electric

970
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: by twenty thirty, and I'm just seeing more and more

971
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: electric cars, and I know Tesla is the big one.

972
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: That's the one I just assumed i'd get, like the

973
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: Model three after driving the Chevy Bolt EUV. Honestly, there's

974
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: a lot I like about this car, and it probably

975
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: would be one of my choices. So what is the

976
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: Bolt EUV. It's kind of like the Chevy Bolt, but

977
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: it's a little bit bigger. It gets two hundred and

978
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: fifty miles to the gallon to the charge. It doesn't

979
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,720
Speaker 1: have the fastest DC charging, so a lot of people

980
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: don't like that. I think it only goes up to

981
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: like level two charging. So I don't quote me on

982
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: that because I'm not an expert in the charging stuff,

983
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: but I think that's what the deal is with this.

984
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the new GM Ultium, which is like

985
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: their new platform that's going to be like amazing for

986
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: electric cars. It's got like lighter batteries, you know, more

987
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: efficient all that good stuff, but you know, it's thirty

988
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: four thousand bucks. And the big thing that I think

989
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: is going to be a problem for this car is

990
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: that it does not get that seventy five hundred dollars

991
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: rebate even though it's a new car model. GM has

992
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: kind of eclipsed there two hundred thousand cars they can

993
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: sell with that, you know, with that whole situation, So

994
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a problem. I read an article where

995
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: the government was looking to revise that law to make

996
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: it so that, you know, as these companies come out

997
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: with new car models, maybe they still will capture that

998
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred dollars rebate. So I say this all

999
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: because me as a purchaser of a car, I may

1000
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: look at something like the Volkswagen ID four, which I

1001
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: also test drove this week, and I'll share some more

1002
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: thoughts about that next week or when I do the

1003
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: story on KTLA. But that car I really really liked,

1004
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: and the difference is the Okay, So the Chevy Bolt

1005
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: EUV has the super Cruise feature, which I just love

1006
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,720
Speaker 1: and I would want on my car. Doesn't change lanes,

1007
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: but it drives for you basically hands free, which is

1008
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: really interesting, but it doesn't have the credit and then

1009
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: the ID four. I'll be honest, when I drove that around,

1010
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: I can't believe how many people looked at the car

1011
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh my gosh, what is that? What

1012
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: is that? What is that? Because nobody ever seen it before,

1013
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: and so that really appeals to me, is to you know,

1014
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: and plus you get that seventy five hundred dollars credit,

1015
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: so you know, and it gets about the same two

1016
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles on a charge, but it also

1017
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: has this the DC Fast Charging, which gives it a

1018
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: slight advantage there. So I think these cars are going

1019
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: to be battling it out. They're both an alternative to

1020
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: the Tesla model Why, which my wife saw on the

1021
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: road and she said, nope, I don't like that, so

1022
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: don't get that. And I kind of agree. I'm not

1023
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: a huge fan of the Why. I mean, it's cute,

1024
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: but it's I think the three for me is just like,

1025
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just speaks to me more than

1026
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: the Why. But uh, you know, anyway, so we'll see

1027
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: what happens. I don't know. I don't think I'm gonna

1028
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: get it anytime soon, Like today, or tomorrow or this

1029
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: year even but I think maybe you know, definitely the

1030
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: next car will well, I think it's going to be

1031
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: electric for sure. Let's see here. Okay Francis via Instagram

1032
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: at Richon Tech. How does Frontier one fifty one to

1033
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: fifty Internet compare to Spectrum Internet. I've always been confused,

1034
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about switching my cable and internet, but

1035
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 1: I do not want to sacrifice my speed with all

1036
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: the remote things we are currently doing. Great question, So

1037
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: here's the deal. The biggest difference between the Frontier one

1038
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: fifty one fifty, and it's very smart that you you

1039
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: put that the one fifty one fifty versus Spectrum is

1040
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: going to be the upload speed. So Frontier the upload

1041
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 1: and download are going to be the same, which means

1042
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: whether you're uploading or downloading something, your speed is going

1043
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: to be consistent with Spectrum. They advertise just their download speed,

1044
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 1: which the default is two hundred, but their upload speed

1045
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,479
Speaker 1: does not change. It's i think capped like thirty five.

1046
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: So that means that when you upload stuff, it's gonna

1047
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: to take longer than it would for you to download something.

1048
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: And that's very highly simplified, but the reality is none

1049
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: of this matters. None of the speed matters. If you

1050
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: are simply streaming stuff on Netflix. If you're just streaming shows,

1051
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: it's all going to be fine. But if you are,

1052
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, uploading and downloading large files, that's when the

1053
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: difference might be clear. And so for me at home,

1054
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: I have a thousand up and a thousand down and

1055
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: when I upload or download it's very fast. When I

1056
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: had Spectrum, it wasn't as fast for the upload. And

1057
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 1: even when I was considering changing to Spectrum for the

1058
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: they offer a one thousand, it was still capped at

1059
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: like I forget what the upload was, but it wasn't

1060
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 1: very fast. And so you kind of, Francis just need

1061
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: to decide do you want upload download being consistent the same,

1062
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: like you upload a lot of stuff and download a

1063
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: lot of stuff, or you just stream and you'd be

1064
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: fine with Spectrum. So the other thing is that Spectrum

1065
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: is going to be slightly fast on the download because

1066
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: it's two hundred for their basic versus one p fifty. Now,

1067
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be a huge difference,

1068
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: but it just kind of depends what you need. So

1069
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: that's the main thing these companies don't really like to

1070
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: advertise their upload speed unless they are doing I don't

1071
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: know if the word is asynchronous where it's like the same,

1072
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: but you know, if they do the same, which a

1073
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: lot of these fiber companies do, they like to put

1074
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: that in your face because it sounds much better because

1075
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: they know that Spectrum's not doing that, and some of

1076
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: these cable companies are not doing that. But for ninety

1077
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: nine percent of people, that doesn't necessarily matter because most

1078
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: people are just streaming their stuff and they're not really

1079
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: uploading large video files like myself every single day, and

1080
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: so it's not that big of a deal. Now with

1081
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: working from home, yes, you're right, a lot of us

1082
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: have have put a little bit of that monocle on

1083
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: the speeds that we have at home, and we're saying,

1084
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: what are we getting up and down? I want to know.

1085
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: So that's a good question, and it's something that I

1086
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: think people should look into. All right, I think I

1087
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: have time for like one more, maybe two more things,

1088
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: all right. Apple has a new tool that lets you

1089
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: transfer your iCloud photos to Google Photos. This is according

1090
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: to nine to five Mac, and it's kind of like

1091
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: one of these data portability features remember what I talked

1092
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: about earlier, where these tech companies want to be seen as,

1093
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, very open and very customer centric or I

1094
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: should say consumer centric. You know, they're not just trying

1095
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: to gobble up all your data and keep it and

1096
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: make it so it's really tough for you to move

1097
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: somewhere else, which you know some of them do to

1098
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: some extent. But this is a great new feature. If

1099
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 1: you want to ditch iCloud photos and go to Google

1100
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: Photos Boom, you can do it. So all you have

1101
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: to do is basically log into privacy dot Apple dot

1102
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: com and you click the thing that says transfer your

1103
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 1: iCloud photos and videos, and it will do it within

1104
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: three to seven days according to this article, and you

1105
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 1: get all of your photos and videos copied over. Now.

1106
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: According to this article, says that smart albums, live photos,

1107
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 1: and some raw files will not transfer over, but they

1108
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: say it looks like a still version of your live

1109
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: photos will transfer over. So I think that's a deal

1110
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: breaker for me because I want my live photos and

1111
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: when I upload directly from my iPhone to Google, I

1112
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: do get that live photos, So I'm not sure why

1113
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: they're not transferring that over. And maybe this needs some

1114
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: more investigation, but that would be a deal breaker for me.

1115
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: But I think it's cool that you can transfer and

1116
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: I actually think here's where I see this could be

1117
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: really interesting and maybe someone can build a tool like this.

1118
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: But you know, Google Photos. Right now, all my photos

1119
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: are sort of locked in there, and it's a lot

1120
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: to you know, get them out because I've got such

1121
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: a large collection. But I do think it would be

1122
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: interesting to transfer them to a service that would dedupe

1123
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: these photos and kind of organize them in a way

1124
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: that maybe Google Photos doesn't. And let's say I can

1125
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: one click, boom, everything's transferred over to this new service

1126
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 1: called photo Genie, and they go through it. You know,

1127
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: of course fits very private. That would be the main thing.

1128
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: They go through it. They say, okay, rich, here's all

1129
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: your duplicates, here's your biggest files, here's all they slice

1130
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: and dices in a way that Google Photos does not.

1131
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: And next thing, you know, then they say, okay, now

1132
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: we're done. We can transfer back. And by the way,

1133
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: this whole process costs me, you know, a one time

1134
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: fee of nine ninety nine and they say, boom, now

1135
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: we're going to transfer everything back to your Google Photos

1136
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: and it's all going to be cleaned up and perfect.

1137
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: That would be pretty cool. So this is an idea.

1138
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: Why you know why I like this idea of data

1139
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: portability is that it gives us more options. And as

1140
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: you've heard on this podcast over and over, I like

1141
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: when people have options. And that's just one other good option.

1142
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: All right, Brianna Final question Brianna Versus via Instagram. Hey, Rich,

1143
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm hoping you can help me out. I just got

1144
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one Honda Accord. I see that Apple

1145
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: has a key feature that can be added to the

1146
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: wallet app. What I need help with is trying to

1147
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: find out if my car is compatible. I'm not sure

1148
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: sure where to search. I've checked with the dealership and

1149
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: nobody there was able to give me an answer. They

1150
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: weren't even aware of the feature. How do I find

1151
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: out if my car is compatible? Also, I've Google search,

1152
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: but nothing is coming up. I've also being searched. Not

1153
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: just kidding, she didn't say that. Hoping you can help.

1154
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: If not, thanks anyway, big fan of yours. Let's see,

1155
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: so you're talking about the digital key feature on Apple

1156
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, which they showed off at WWDC, and

1157
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: they showed it off with a BMW, and as far

1158
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: as I know, I think BMW is the only car

1159
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: that is compatible. I think we're going to see a

1160
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: lot more cars compatible with this, but right now I

1161
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: do not believe that your Honda Cord is compatible. But

1162
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: it's funny you sent this to me because I when

1163
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: I was test driving the Bolt and the Volkswagen this week,

1164
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: I was thinking, oh my gosh, how cool would it

1165
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: be to have a car that takes advantage of your

1166
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: iPhone as a key. One less thing for me to carry,

1167
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: one less thing for me to worry about. And yes,

1168
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: there's like a whole thing of like, oh my gosh,

1169
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: am I gonna it's my phone? Not going to be

1170
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: charged whatever? Like I don't care. I would just rather

1171
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: have it on my phone. In fact, I did a

1172
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: story with a company called open Path, I think it

1173
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: was last week, and this is something that seems like

1174
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: a no brainer to me as well. But they work

1175
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: to put your key card for your work on your iPhone.

1176
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: Now your company has to subscribe to this thing, and

1177
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: of course you know it has to be set up

1178
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: that way. But you know, I've carried around my key

1179
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: card for KTLA for ten years now, and I always think, like,

1180
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: why can't my wallet on my iPhone just do this?

1181
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: And I asked the guy, the CEO, James Siegel, and

1182
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: I said, or is it Jamie Sorry open Path? Open

1183
00:59:53,960 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: Path CEO Seagual, sorry if if I got your name wrong. Jane, Yeah,

1184
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: James Siegal. So I asked him, I said, hey, what

1185
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: does it use in my little you know, my card?

1186
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Is it RFI D or is it NFC? And I

1187
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,479
Speaker 1: guess the card uses RFI D, which I don't think

1188
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: is on the iPhone, so I don't know anyway, So

1189
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: his system uses a whole combination of things to make

1190
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: it work. Its magic, and I imagine these car keys

1191
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: in the wallet do the same thing. But I can't wait.

1192
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I am totally on board with the UH,

1193
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: with the idea of using my iPhone as a Let's see,

1194
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: there's a digital key consortium. Is that how you say it? Consortium? Consortium?

1195
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: So let's see who's on board and we'll see. This

1196
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,919
Speaker 1: will give us a little idea of who is going

1197
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: to be a part of this in the future. So

1198
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: let's see where are the companies. Come on, where are

1199
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: the companies? Here we go, Apple BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, LG, Panasonic, Samsung,

1200
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: and Volkswagen. So the good news is we are going

1201
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: to see BMW's IT, General Motors have IT, Honda, Hyundai, Volkswagen,

1202
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: and even Samsung phones support this as well on LG phone,

1203
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: So we are gonna see a lot of these of

1204
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: these digital keys in the future. I cannot wait. In fact,

1205
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I'll wait to buy my car

1206
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: until this happens, because I really think that's a key feature.

1207
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: When I bought my last car, car play and uh

1208
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: and Android Auto was a key feature it had to have,

1209
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: And so I think with my next car, it's going

1210
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: to have to be the the digital key. Let's hear

1211
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: how you say consortium consortium not consortium consortium. There you go.

1212
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: So you learn something new every week on this podcast,

1213
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: Well I do mostly how to pronounce stuff. Oh, there

1214
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: it is. That's the music that means. That's gonna do

1215
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: it for this episode of the show. If you would

1216
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: like to submit a question for me to answer, two
