WEBVTT - How to find the best antivirus protection 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.640 Google ditches one level of tracking. Could you give up 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.119 your phone for a day? The first car with Amazon 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:23.919 Fire TV built in? Plus your tech questions answered? What's 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.680 going on? I'm Rich Damiro and this is Rich on Tech, 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:28.880 the podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.560 think you should know about. It's also the place where 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.360 I answer the questions you send me and believe you 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:39.839 me yes, send them in. I am fielding questions all 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:45.720 day long on Instagram, on Facebook, on Twitter. Email is 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.000 like very popular. I guess that's because my Facebook page 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.839 is linked up to that, and I don't mind answering them. 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.120 I mean, it's just sometimes, you know, if you email me, 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.040 sometimes it could take a while. But that's why I 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.040 like this show. So this show is really the place 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.440 where I take kind of the questions I get that 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.360 I think apply to you know, more than one person. 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:07.280 You know. If you're like Rich, I need a you know, 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.760 a highly specific app to monitor you know, I don't 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.560 know whatever. It's like, Okay, now if I feel like 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.600 a lot of people need that app, fine, that's you know, 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.760 that's that's what I include in this show. That's kind 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:20.920 of what you know. The idea of this is is 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.479 that what you know, the questions I answer I'm seeing 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.440 over and over and I think that it can help 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.920 a bunch of people that listen. So, by the way, 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.640 I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.679 In case you're listening from a different city or a 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.240 different place, or maybe you know you saw my segment 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.559 on one of these stations that it's played on, because 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.320 it's not you know, most of the time people think 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.959 I'm just on KTLA, but we you know, I do 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:45.840 work for a big company. They have a bunch of 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.280 TV stations everywhere, and what I do is I just 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.280 send them my my segment, my report, and they send 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.440 it to all the stations, and the TV stations just 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.760 run it. So like this morning, you know, I saw 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.080 someone tagged me in like Mississippi they ran it, and 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.480 then in Honolulu where they ran it, which I thought 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.080 was so cool, and I think that deserves a visit, right, 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.000 don't I need to go there and see what's going on. 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.320 But it's one of these things where you know, people 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.919 just they don't realize that I'm oh. Las Vegas is 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.000 another one. But people don't realize that I'm in these 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.880 different places until they're traveling or a family member, or 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:20.840 they move and they're like, oh my gosh, I can 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.120 watch you in North Carolina. Wow, that's cool. So I 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.000 feel like the gears of progress are churning when it 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.160 comes to this whole pandemic in this vaccine. So that's 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.920 good news. I know people are getting it. Numbers are dropping. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.200 That feels good. It feels like we're getting to a 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.600 place where we can all feel like this big sigh 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.480 of relief for not there just yet, but it's I 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.280 feel it we're getting there, and people are just feeling better. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.560 I think we're seeing this like cloud being lifted off 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.120 of the world in a way. I mean, I still 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.280 think that there. You know, there's a lot that it's 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.519 going to take for us to go back. I was 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.400 looking at my pictures I just typed in on Google 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.000 Photos crowds, and oh my gosh, it's like, it's so 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.120 strange to look at a picture with all these people 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.440 in the background and you know, the Apple events and 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.000 all these you know, concerts that I went to, and 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.600 so it's probably gonna take a little bit of getting 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.280 used to to to do that, But I do think 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.400 we will get there. Someone told me the other day, 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.800 they you know, this whole vaccine thing. They said, oh, 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.880 I saw on social media that this person got a vaccine, 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.359 Now how did they get it? And I didn't get 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.520 it when I'm older and you know, they don't look 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.440 like they have any health issues or anything. And I said, well, 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.520 you know, you don't really know what's going on in 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.119 their lives. You know that if you have some sort 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.240 of issue, you don't always wear on your sleeve, right. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.920 I mean, I see myself as a as a pretty 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.760 positive person in life. Yes, I have good days and 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.360 I have bad days, but for the most part, I 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.280 have prided myself on being positive and being a you know, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.000 an inspiration for people to to, you know, with my 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.120 posts and what I say and how I do and 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.119 what I conduct myself. And I just feel like that's 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.240 kind of what I want to do. And you know, 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.520 you don't know from day to day what's happening in 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.800 my life, per se. I mean, sometimes I'll explain, you know, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.600 when I feel like it's the time, but it's the 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.760 same thing with other people. You know, you just don't know. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.360 And this is not just with health issues and the vaccine, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.920 it's with anything. I mean, you may have people at 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.719 work that you know are a little grumpy and grumbly 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.719 and and you know, who knows what's happening in their 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.839 lives at home. And this happens over and over everywhere. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.640 And I think with social media, we see this, you know, 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:33.280 polished version of people. We see them on vacation, We 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:37.120 see them having the best food, drinking the coolest drinks, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.279 you know, hanging out with the coolest friends. And you 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.960 know that doesn't always tell you the full story. And 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.080 believe me, we all know that, but sometimes we forget. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.480 So you know, it's kind of like we went on 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.640 a little mini you know, weekend get away a couple 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.480 of weeks ago, and you know, the kids were like, 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:56.800 you know, they all they want to do is play 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.760 their iPads. And I'm like, here we are in this 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.960 beautiful place, and you know, all you want to do 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.960 is play your iPad on the couch, Like come on. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.400 And so I had to have a little you know 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.479 talk with them and explain to them and not so 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.800 uncertain terms that like, you know, this is what we're 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.599 doing and this is how we're doing it. And you 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.159 know I'm not going to sit there and you know, 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.440 put that on Instagram, you know, but it's something as 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.479 parents we've all had to do. And so again, you know, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.440 on Instagram, you probably just saw the nice picture of 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.480 us hanging out as a family, which is fine because 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.520 that's the memory you want to have, right and that's 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.240 the thing that you want to strive towards. But the 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.120 reality is, you know, people get real. People are real. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.560 We're all human and you know, we all have our 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.039 struggles and you know it's not a bad thing to 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.400 sometimes share those with other people because sometimes it just 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.360 feels good, you know. So anyway, that's about as uh 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.680 as uh what's My wife is a counselor so believe me, 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.960 I I hear about, you know, all these things a lot. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.560 You know, she deals with a lot of issues with 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.039 people and stuff like that. So I am you know, 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.080 I hear about this stuff a lot. And it's it's 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.400 taken many years of her wearing me down to sort 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.440 of come to the realization that, you know, we're all 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.240 human and you just have to accept that and understand 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.000 that and life is a better place when you do that. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.680 So anyway, that's it. That's my that's my talk for 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.280 this time around. But anyway, that's it. All right, let's 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:20.839 let's move into more techi techie stuff. Google. This is 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.440 a big announcement this week. It got a lot of headlines. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.719 I think it was a little misconstrued in the headlines. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.600 But what Google said is that they are going to 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.719 track us a little bit less, and they explained exactly why. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.680 But I think the headline was mainly, like a lot 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.200 of it was like Google is not going to search 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.560 track your searches, which not really true. They're still going 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.800 to track your searches. What they're doing is is they're 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.520 giving up on third party cookies, and so third party 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.280 cookies are okay. Let's let me give you example. So 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.960 you go to a website that sells socks and you 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.920 look at some socks, and then you move on and 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:00.840 you move on with your life. And now you go 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.680 over to you know, another website, you read an article 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.800 on a newspaper, website or whatever, and you see an 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.240 ad for those socks served up by Google and you're like, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.840 how did they know? Well, they know because that website 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.680 tracked it using you know, double click or whatever you 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.480 know Google has, and that little tracking cookie now reports 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.280 back to Google. And then when you know, those sock 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.800 plays advertised. They said, we want to we want to 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.080 target people that already came to our website in the 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.800 last thirty days and boom, now their ad shows up 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.400 everywhere you go. And so that's really how third party 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.280 cookie tracking works, and I probably overly simplified it, but 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.920 that's kind of how I understand it to work. And 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.680 so what Google is saying is like, We're not really 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.640 going to do that anymore. Now what are they going 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.080 to do? Now? This is a big, you know, kind 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.920 of a problem for advertisers because they you know, a 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.840 lot of this sharing of information really helps to target 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.720 you with stuff. But what they did say is that 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.640 number one, they are not gonna come up with some 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.640 alter alternative to this, Like they're not going to band 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.480 together with the advertising agencies and come up with some alternative. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.640 That was the big question. The other thing they're going 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.600 to do is they're still going to use their relationship 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.760 with you to target things to you. So what does 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.160 that mean If you search for socks on Amazon right 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.360 brightly colored socks, fun socks, cool socks, they can still 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.560 use that data to funnel into their advertising system. So 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.440 that when someone says we want to target people who 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.840 have looked at socks. They will still have that data 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.239 about you. Now, they may not know the specific website 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.679 you ended up visiting, or they may not share that 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.679 information to what sock website you've been to, but they 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.520 will know that you're a lover of socks, and so 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.640 that information will still be there. The videos that you 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.880 look up on YouTube, that will still feed into their information. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.640 So they're still using what they call their first party 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:56.400 information to understand you better. And if you think about Google, 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.440 they've got a lot of first party information. I don't 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.880 think they're you using Gmail information anymore. Back when Gmail started, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.360 the whole thing was that they would scan your email 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.520 and sell you ads against that. I don't believe they're 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.480 doing that anymore. I think that was a couple of 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.480 years ago. They switched. They said, you know what, we 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.800 already know enough about you. And that's what they're saying again, 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.079 we already know so much about you from the way 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.280 you use our products that we don't really need all 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.120 this extra data. Sure it'd be great, but they're trying 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.360 to be a good citizen, right And I say that 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.960 a little facetiously because they're trying to be a good 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.480 citizen in the fact that they'd rather do this on 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.440 their own than have the government come after them and say, uh, 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.040 you gotta do this, because they would rather steer the 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.640 ship than have the federal government or all these you know, 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.160 we saw it happen in Europe with privacy laws. They 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.839 would rather just kind of say, hey, we're gonna you know, 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.520 we're gonna be a little bit more like Apple, and 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.040 we're going to say we're so privacy centric that you 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.360 don't even need to worry about coming up with laws 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.520 for us, because we love privacy, we love protecting folks privacy. 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.000 And so I think that's part of what's going on here. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.720 And I think part of it is that Google knows 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.040 they've got a lot of data on us, more more 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:06.400 so than probably anyone except for Facebook, And so you know, 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.680 that's that's kind of what's happening here, is it? And 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.720 the other side of it is that it actually makes 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:15.200 their advertising stronger because now it's like these third party 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.040 advertising systems may not have as much data as the 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.560 first party, which is like a Facebook or a Google. 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.840 What's the other one? Am I missing one? What is it? Facebook? Google? 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.240 Maybe Microsoft? I don't know, but that's it all right, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.320 let us get to the first question of the day. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:39.800 This question comes from Okay, this is an interesting one. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.480 I said that I do. I said that I do 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.920 questions that are appeal to a lot of people. I 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:45.640 don't know if this does. Dear Rich, I'm wondering if 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.920 you know how to run DOS on iOS. I'm an 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.760 old school fan of a game called Begin Tactical Starship 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.160 Simulation on my computer, but I can't run it on 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.960 my iPhone ten? Is there an app that can unzip 0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.280 and run it so it can be run on my 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.200 iPhone ten? My personal favorite is the one point eighty 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.480 five version. I can only find one point six y five. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:10.760 Is there a way? I'd be grateful? Sincerely, Mark, So 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.400 I I don't know. I don't I don't think that 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.800 there is a way to uh, oh what happened here. 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.360 I think there's a way to run you know, DOS 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.800 on your iPhone with like an emulator, But as far 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.520 as installing a game on top of that, I don't 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.360 think that would be possible with the iPhone. But I 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.000 could be wrong, and so, uh maybe that's why I 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.480 want to do this question so I can mention it 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.880 on the podcast, and if if you know you're listening. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.679 You're like, Rich, this is what I used to do this, 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.560 you know, tweet me at rich on tech and let 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.520 me know. I did find an app called power Dos 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.720 on uh on, you know, the app store. Let's see 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:50.160 dos on iPhone. So I mean, yeah, power dos comes up, 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.760 DOS two, I dos comes up, but I don't think 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.240 that it I just don't know if it comes with 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:03.120 uh oh, look at this, yes, look at this. It 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.360 looks like you can wow. Okay. This is an app 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:13.160 called I Dos DOS Box for iOS. Recently Apple approved 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.880 iTunes file sharing for I DOS, so you can put 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.040 your games in iCloud drive and launch from the files app. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.640 So I think that this might work. Let's see one 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.200 of the comments from three years ago. So I don't know. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.559 Check out I Dos DOS Box for iOS and is 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.160 it still on the app store. Indeed, it is play 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.360 classic DOS games, So I think that's it. I Dos too. 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.480 I'll put this in the links on the notes, but 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.600 that's I think that's going to do it. It sounds 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.200 like you just put the file that you have that 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.040 exc or would you say it was a ZIP file. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.920 I don't know if it can unzip it, but maybe 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:51.640 depending on how you put it, but it sounds like 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.880 you put it in in your files in your iCloud 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.120 and boom. You can just do it. So let me 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.280 know if this works for you, because that's a mark. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.720 That's an interesting question. So very cool. I you know, 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.800 I used to know all those doss commands when I 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:10.560 was a kid, like CD slash whatever was CD slash 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.719 dr you know, all those little oh when I was 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.560 such like a nerdy computer kid. I wasn't that nerdy, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.480 Like I wasn't like programming my own stuff, but I 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:23.040 was definitely you know, like formatting drives and you know, 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.960 installing stuff, and I knew my way around tos to 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.600 a certain extent, and then you know, things change. Best 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.360 Buy is now offering an an Apple Watch app that 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.880 is basically kind of like a triple A on your wrist, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.400 but for kind of like senior citizens. I mean, this 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.480 is for anyone, but it's kind of it's definitely aimed 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.960 at the seniors. It's called Lively and this is in 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.080 a company that they purchased. I think it was a 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.160 great call. Is the name of the company, and Lively 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.320 is uh is kind of their brand that they're using 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.360 for this app, and so you install the SAP on 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.560 the Apple Watch, and it does a couple things. It 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.720 can get you in touch with an urgent response agent 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.040 that can help out an emergency and non emergency situations. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.400 They can even do things like if your car has trouble, 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.000 help you figure out, you know, how to get help. Now. 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.000 I was immediately going to dismiss this until I read 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.160 this line. And it also detects if you take a 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:25.280 fall and can you know, notify your family members or 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:26.960 they can call you to make sure you're okay. Now 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.040 you might be saying rich, you know Apple Watch already 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.080 has that built in. Well, kind of the way that 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.200 Apple Watch has it built in is it It just 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.560 basically calls nine one one if you don't respond within 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.560 sixty seconds after a hard fall, and it can text 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.560 I believe a couple family members to say you know 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.480 this happened, and your location. But this kind of takes 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.000 it a step further where it calls the user. Again, 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.240 this is for more like aimed at seniors that might 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.720 need a little bit more hand holding, a little bit 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.360 more assistance than sort of, you know, just the average 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.520 person like myself who might just be fine with the 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.320 fall detection right, So I was going to discount this 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.160 whole thing until I read this line. Best by Health 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.600 worked closely with Apple on this upcoming feature which is 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.800 coming soon, which is the first to use Apple's new 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.280 fall detection API to protect the health and safety of 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.720 users who've taken a hard fall. Now, I didn't realize 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.480 that this fall detection in the Apple Watches an API. 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.800 That's pretty amazing, And what that means is that developers 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.400 can build their apps on top of this fall detection, 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.120 so eventually, not just you don't have to just use 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.640 Apple's fall detection or Apple's system for fall detection. So 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.360 this means that a startup can come with can come 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.280 up with a better way of doing the fall detection, 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.040 maybe not the algorithm, but a better way of encompassing 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.400 what happens after that fall, whether it connects you directly 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.200 to someone or you know, in this case, you know 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.080 their agents. So I think that's pretty cool. And that's 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.720 why I mentioned this because it's not just like a 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.280 quote unquote dumb app that's on the iPhone that's trying 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.600 to replicate what Apple's doing. It's it's deeply integrated into 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.440 the Apple Watch. And I love when I see stuff 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.320 like that because it means that it opens up options 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.800 for people. It's not just one thing. It's not just 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.560 Apple solution. Apple's saying, hey, we came up with this 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.200 solution as a start, but you know, you if you 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.560 can come up with something better, by all means, here's 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.880 kind of like the insides of what we did, and 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.200 you can play around with them and rearrange them and 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.640 make them work for you. And I just love that idea. 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:29.520 So again it's called lively. Here's the downside. It you know, 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.040 obviously requires an Apple Watch, but the plan that I 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.520 saw looks like it costs about thirty dollars a month, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.840 which you know, I think to get the full benefit 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.160 of this, you'd probably want an Apple Watch cellular that 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.120 has you know, the calling in it. So that's another 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.040 ten dollars a month, plus a slightly more expensive Apple Watch. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.400 So now you're talking forty dollars a month for this feature. 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.320 I think my my family members are worth it. I 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.080 don't know, I mean, but a lot of seniors on 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.360 fixed incomes. It's it's you know, it's expensive, that's pricey, 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.520 and you know, eventually I would like to get my 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.720 mom an Apple Watch with this feature, maybe not the 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.080 lively one, maybe just the fall detection because to me, 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.480 like I have it on my watch and it just 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.000 feels like a little guardian protecting you. Right. The other day, 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.400 I was playing with my kids in the Oh, gosh, 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.359 I just thought of another story. I was playing my 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.119 kids in the backyard and you know, we were just 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:24.040 rough housing, and I whatever, it triggered the fall detection 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:25.760 on the watch, and I said, I'm okay, you know 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.159 it's fine, but I will tell you. Okay. So I 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.399 was out on a run with my kid. We were 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.119 doing what we call bike run, where he goes on 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.600 the bike and I run with him. And I've ran forever. 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.119 I've run for many many years, and I feel like 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.480 I'm at a really good place with the running situation 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.760 because at this point, all I need is my Apple Watch, 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.800 which has music and cellular and fitness tracking on it, 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.440 as well as the AirPods, which you know, with those 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.119 two things, I can just run without anything else. And 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.720 it feels so amazing, you know, because I remember the 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.160 days of running through the years with like a tape 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.919 player and you know, a CD player and then a 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.679 mini disc player and an MP three player and then 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.280 the iPhone strapped your arm. You know, wired headphones. Now 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.080 it's wireless. So we've seen this big evolution. And now, 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.040 of course with cellular it means that you know wherever 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.119 I am. If there's an emergency while I'm running, I 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.879 can get the help I need. Now. I was running 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.960 along Merry Old Way, no big deal, and all of 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.200 a sudden, I'm not kidding, I tripped in a way 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.320 that I have never ever tripped in a run ever, 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.000 and it was a you know, Los Angeles gotta love 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.639 the uneven sidewalks that I don't think the city takes 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.160 care of. I think it's on the homeowner to take 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:35.879 care of. Anyway, that's a whole nother thing. But anyway, 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.720 you know, the sidewalk was a little uneven and I 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.840 just missed whatever my brain did, it miscalculated the where 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.159 I should land, and I hit the sidewalk instead of 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.560 the higher part of the sidewalk, instead of the lower part, 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.800 which was like an inch lower, you know, I mean 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.920 an inch away, and the sidewalk was pretty high, and 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.080 so I don't know, whatever this was was enough for 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.320 me with the momentum I was doing to literally I 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.920 projected forward, so hard and so fast and so with 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.680 such an uncertainty that has never happened to me. And 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:08.919 it was one of those things where I felt myself 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:13.000 in a slow motion stumble where I would have landed 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.440 on my face. I was able to get my balance 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:18.760 and maybe because I run a lot and I have 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:22.719 a little bit more stability or whatever, I don't know, 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.480 whatever did something saved me. And if not, I'm not kidding, 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.359 I would have probably bashed my face into the ground. 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.600 And so again the reason I tell you this story 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.360 is not so you feel sorry for me. I mean, 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.000 definitely I was shaken up and my kid was like, 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.200 oh my gosh, like he saw me, you know, wow. 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:40.840 But I had the Apple Watch, and I said, this 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:42.720
