This week we've got Steve Churchin, cybersecurity 19 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: expert with zipro dot com. He's going to talk about 20 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: some of the lessons learned from that CrowdStrike incident. Now 21 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: that things have had a little chance to settle down. 22 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Ne'rov Gandhia, founder of House of Tech, will give his 23 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: impressions about Samsung's latest devices, including their foldables, their watches, 24 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: and their ring and friend of the show, Jefferson Graham 25 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: of Photo Walks TV, is going to discuss the latest 26 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: third party apps for upgrading your smartphone photo and video capture. 27 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: Looking forward to that, well, it is the start of 28 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: the Olympics. I was recently in Paris, and every time 29 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: I go on an overseas trip, I learn a thing 30 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: or two. So I thought i'd share some of the 31 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: ways that I prepared my phone for the overseas trip, 32 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: because I get a lot of questions about this. There 33 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: is a lot of confusion about how cell phones and 34 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: smartphones and all of these things work in other countries, 35 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: and I think I have some answers for you. So 36 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you my thoughts on all of 37 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: this stuff, what works, what doesn't, what you should be downloading, 38 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: and how you should prep your phone before you leave 39 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: your house so you can stay connected and avoid those 40 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: roaming charges. So Number one, download a flight alert app. 41 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: Now you've heard me talk about this one before. It's 42 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: called Flighty. If you're on the iPhone, that is the 43 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: absolute best app. FLI ghty Flighty. Now that app is 44 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: incredible it will give you up to the minute alerts 45 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: on anything with your flight. It is not only a 46 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: great source of information, it is so beautifully designed you 47 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: will just want to sit there and play around with 48 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: the app because it's just so beautiful, really really well done. 49 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: Now it is a sort of a freemium model, so 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: you can get you know, I think your first flight 51 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: is free to track, and you can always track your flights. 52 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: It just depends if you pay what type of updates 53 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: you can get, like how much information you can get 54 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: beyond just the basics. Now, if you're on Android, Flighty 55 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: is not there unfortunately, but there is an app that 56 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: I tested called App in the Air. App in the Air. 57 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: It's very similar to Flighty. It's not as beautiful, the 58 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: alerts aren't as up to minute, but they it's really 59 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: good and I use this on my flight to Paris 60 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: there and back and it was great. So Flighty for iOS, 61 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: App in the Air for Android, and I always send 62 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, someone back home my information, you know, my 63 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: flight information, just so they have it for a point 64 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: of reference. That's what a good idea, and it's just 65 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: good to have one of these apps to get all 66 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: the updates so on your phone set up a widget 67 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: to show the time back home. So very simple. At 68 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: a clock widget to your phone's home screen so you 69 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: can easily keep track of the time difference. That is 70 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: a big deal for me because I don't know why. 71 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: You know, I'm from New Jersey, I live in California. 72 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: For some reason, all of these years later, I still 73 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: cannot figure out the time zone situation. And it's it's 74 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: not okay, I get it. If it's twelve o'clock here, 75 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: I know it's three o'clock back East. But it's when 76 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: those those other times, like eight am, nine am, well, 77 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: it's really only eleven am. All right, it's fine, it's 78 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: just eleven am. When someone says eleven am, I'm like, wait, 79 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: is it two pm? Is it one pm? But my 80 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: point is when you're overseas, it can get very confusing. 81 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Just out of widget that shows your time back home, 82 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 1: your time in your current place. 83 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: All good. 84 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: Now, when it comes to streaming content, most of the 85 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: streaming services these days let you download stuff to watch offline. 86 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm kind of strange. I do not watch the entertainment 87 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: on the plane on the seatback. 88 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: I just never do. 89 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: It's kind of a rule of mine, and I've gone 90 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: too long without watching, so now I can't start. Even 91 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: though those systems have gotten a lot better. But I 92 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: don't like how the movies are all, you know, I 93 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: don't know what the quality is in the selection, So 94 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: I like that my own stuff. So download stuff to 95 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: watch offline. Netflix allows you to do this. YouTube allows 96 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: you to do this. 97 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: Some of them you have to be a paying member. 98 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: Some of them, you know, you have to have a 99 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: premium membership like it depends, so just check with your provider. 100 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: So some of them will not let you offload or 101 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: offline watch stuff if you have like the Basic plan 102 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: or the ad supported plan. But this is getting better 103 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: and better, so definitely download stuff to your phone. And 104 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: then there's also something called smart downloads, so you can 105 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: have the app automatically download a bunch of content to 106 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: your phone without you even choosing what to watch, so 107 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: you always have something to watch, even if your phone 108 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: is an airplane mode. Currency converter, so you can ask 109 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: things like Google or Siri to convert your currency. But 110 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: I like an app called XE that is XE and 111 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: it's just a simple way to convert the currency. Sometimes 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: it's easy, you know, if you're in Europe, you know, 113 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: with the Euros it's kind of almost one to one, 114 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: but not really, but depends on the country you're going to. 115 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: But this makes it a lot easier, and again you 116 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: can add a widget to your homescreen to make that easier. 117 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: When it comes to maps, again, offline maps are your friend. 118 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: So the whole thing is when you're overseas, you're probably 119 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: not going to be using as much data as you 120 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: would here in the States because that data is going 121 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: to be put out a premium, or it's a little 122 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: bit slower, or you're looking for Wi Fi hotspots. You're 123 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: avoiding data usehol together through cellular so you want to 124 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: download as much as possible. And both Apple Maps and 125 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: Google Maps support what's called offline maps. So when you 126 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: search for the city that you're going to on Google Maps, 127 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: you can tap offline. On Apple Maps, you can tap 128 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: offline and it will download those maps to your phone 129 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: so that you can navigate and search for things like 130 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: streets even if you don't have a cellular connection. So 131 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: again Apple Maps, Google Maps download the offline maps. On 132 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: Google Maps, there's a little hack, so if you search 133 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: for the city, let's say you're going to Paris, search 134 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: for Paris, France. Put that in there, and then at 135 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: the top type in okay maps. I don't know why 136 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: it's okay maps. There's probably some you know, coding thing 137 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: or you know, a techie thing to deal with that 138 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: inside joke, but that will bring you immediately to the 139 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: to the offline maps feature to download that. Now, this 140 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: is the biggest question I get roaming and Wi Fi calling. 141 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: So here's my advice when it comes to roaming. Number one, 142 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: call your cellular provider. So call them. That's your first 143 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: thing to do. Whoever your cellular provider is, call them 144 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: and say, hey, what's the deal. I'm going to this country. 145 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: What are my roaming options? Do I have roaming included? 146 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: Do I have a certain amount of days that are free? 147 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: Sometimes if you're on a premium plan, you might get 148 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: like a day or two or three included and not 149 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: pay that ten dollars a month. Some are sorry, ten 150 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: dollars a day. Sometimes your provider might just charge you 151 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: ten dollars a day to use your phone as you 152 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: typically would. 153 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: But it all depends on your plan. 154 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: So call your provider see how many roaming days you have, 155 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: or if you have some banked and use those. Now, 156 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: if you don't want to roam, you don't want to 157 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: pay anything, you can turn off roaming on your phone 158 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: to avoid those charges, or you can just turn off 159 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: your cellular altogether. But before you leave the country, definitely 160 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: set up Wi Fi calling and texting. This way, you 161 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: can use Wi Fi hotspots to keep in touch. Now, again, 162 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: every cellular provider is a little bit different, but in general, 163 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: whatever's included in your plan here will be included there. 164 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: So let's say you can call anywhere in the US unlimited. 165 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: When you get to Paris, you'd be able to call 166 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: on Wi Fi calling anywhere back to the US unlimited, 167 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: but they would still charge you for calls that are 168 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: made to Paris phone numbers. Right, but most people are 169 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: calling back home, so that should probably work. But again check. 170 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: First thing to do just google roaming with your provider 171 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: name Wi Fi calling and see what their deal is. 172 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: And then of course you can get an eSIM. That's 173 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: the easiest way to just bypass the roaming situation altogether. 174 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: You can buy an eSIM right from an app. There 175 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: are many apps that offer eSIMs. My favorite is Aralow. 176 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: I've used it many times. It works great, but there 177 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: are plenty of other apps out there that do work well, 178 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: and the eSIM is a really easy way to do it, 179 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: and you could do it right from your phone, and 180 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: most of the major smartphones these days support the eSIM. 181 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: If you have an older phone with maybe just a 182 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: physical simcard slot, you may have to get a simcard 183 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: mail to you, or when you get to the airport 184 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: at that place, you can just buy a simcard there. 185 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: Now. 186 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: When it comes to translating, Google Translate, Apple Translate, they 187 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: are both your friends. Apple Translate is pre installed on 188 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: your iPhone. Google Translate works on both iOS and Android, 189 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: so download that and again download the language pack for 190 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: the country that you're visiting so you can get translations 191 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: without an Internet connection. Again see the theme here you 192 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: want to download stuff in advance. A couple other things 193 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: let's see here. Google Lens is a great feature if 194 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: you're trying to identify monuments and translations, so make sure 195 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: you're familiar with how Google Lens works on your phone. 196 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: AI is really helpful these days, so you can use 197 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: AI assistance like Chat, GBT, Claude, copilot Guide, Geek, and 198 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: also mind trip dot AI to give you access to 199 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: travel recommendations and even itineraries. But again, double check anything 200 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: that AI is serving you up because it's not always factual. 201 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: It could be hallucinating some answers, so just be careful 202 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: about that. Tap to pay very very important to set 203 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: up tap to pay before you leave, because just like 204 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: here in the US, I mean, cash is still important, 205 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: but it is getting less important around the world. And 206 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: so yes, I'm sure there's some countries where cash is 207 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: more widely accepted than the tap to pay, but in general, 208 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: in my experience, in the main populated areas of the 209 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: world world, tap to pay is very popular. And so 210 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: make sure you set up a mobile payment card on 211 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: your phone in advance so that you can use tap 212 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: to pay anywhere you are, and be sure that card 213 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: does not have any foreign transaction fees. Just because you 214 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: have a credit card or a debit card doesn't mean 215 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: they don't charge you one percent. So for instance, my 216 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: debit card actually charges me one percent on top of 217 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: every transaction, which kind of adds up, and so that's 218 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: not a card that I prefer to use when I 219 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: am traveling internationally. So definitely set up tap to pay. 220 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: You can do a lot with that. You can get 221 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: very far. In fact, I don't even exchange money anymore 222 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: at the cash exchange because my deal is I'll usually 223 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: go get cash at a local ATM so I get 224 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: the best exchange rate and I have some cash there 225 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: if I need it. My last trip, I did not 226 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: get any cash out whatsoever in the foreign country, and 227 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: I was still able to get around. So those are 228 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: some of my solutions for getting around. You can go 229 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: to the website rich on Tech dot tv for more 230 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 1: information about those coming up.

Uh, Frank and 248 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: Sue from Bradbury, California write in, Hey, Rich, where does 249 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: the temperature on the Apple Watch come from? Cooper Tino? 250 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: That is a great question. Funny you ask that because 251 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: my wife, my kid, and me. 252 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: Were all in the car yesterday. 253 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: We're all wearing Apple Watches, and my wife comments how 254 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: hot it is outside, and she says, you know, whatever, 255 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: the temperature was in her watch. And my kid in 256 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: the backseat goes, well, mine says this, and I said, well, 257 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: mine says this. They were all off by a degree. 258 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: We're all in the same exact car, same Apple watch. 259 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: I don't know where the temperature is coming from. So 260 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: that's a great question. 261 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: I do know. 262 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Apple bought a company called Dark Sky, which they now 263 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: incorporate their weather magic into their weather and it's gotten 264 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: a lot better. But that was kind of a messy, messy. 265 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: Uh oh gosh, that was a messy purchase. Let me 266 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: just make sure was it called dark Sky Apple? Yeah, 267 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: dark Sky. Let's go to Mario in Riverside, California. Mario, 268 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: you're on with rich. 269 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: Are you there? Okay? 270 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: I see, let's see. Okay, I hit the wrong button. Mario, 271 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: you there? Nope, there you are? Okay, Now I locked 272 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: you there? 273 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 4: You go? 274 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: Okay? Now can you hear me? 275 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 4: Yes? 276 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: Well we're off. 277 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: Great start here. I'm glad I know how to push buttons. 278 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 2: They didn't. 279 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: They never told me I had to know how to 280 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: push buttons for the show. What can I help you with? 281 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: Okay? So I have an iPhone Max fIF team and 282 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 3: I took my daughter on her fifteenth birthday when to 283 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: go see a concert. The question is how do I 284 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: get that video? I tried to transfer it on too 285 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: like a memory stick, and when they were going to 286 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 3: try to play it, it's telling me it's not there's 287 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 3: not the right format, or it's just not compatible like 288 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 3: with the windowed media player. 289 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 290 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: Well, welcome to the world of Apple. They are so 291 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: fun with stuff like this. So they did make a change. 292 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: I think it was a couple of years ago at 293 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: this point where they started putting their photos. You know, 294 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: it used to be the standard was a JPEG and 295 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: videos were in uh, I guess I know some sort 296 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: of move, but now they are changing that, and they're 297 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: doing it for a reason because the new file formats 298 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: are much more efficient, so they take up less space. 299 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: But they pretty much play on Apple products very easily 300 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: because Apple updated all their stuff, But all the other 301 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: products out there may not play them. So the thing 302 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: you can do is go into your settings on your iPhone. 303 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: You go into settings and then camera and then there's 304 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: something called formats and you'll notice right at the top 305 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: it says high efficiency and then most compatible. So if 306 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: you probably by default have high efficiency checked, and that 307 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: is going to make those videos in a format that 308 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: not every computer likes. So if you want to make 309 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: them more compatible with everything, just switch that to most compatible. Now, 310 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: that does not help you for the video you already 311 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: have of your daughter, So there are many programs that 312 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: can transform those videos. But I would just recommend downloading 313 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: a very helpful app called VLS see VLC Media Player, 314 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: and that will pretty much play any format you can 315 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: throw at it. It's a very handy program to have 316 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: on your computer, So just download that on your Windows computer, 317 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: Mac computer, you're Android. I don't know if they have 318 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: one for iPhone, but that will I do it for iOS, 319 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: so that will play pretty much any format you throw 320 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: at it. 321 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: So those are the things to do. 322 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: But in the future, the videos you take from here 323 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: on out will will be in the most compatible format, 324 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: which means every computer will be able to play them. 325 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: So hope that helps. That is a tricky situation. Whenever 326 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: I set up a new iPhone, it always wants to 327 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: take pictures in this HIC format, which I end up 328 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: having to It just doesn't work sometimes, like some programs 329 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: just don't like that, and so I'll have to go 330 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: in and convert those. Luckily, on the on the Mac computers, 331 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: at least you can write click them and it will 332 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: say to there's like a quick action where it says 333 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: convert image and so so I can convert that image 334 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: into a JPEG. But that's my preference because it's just 335 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: JPEG is JA and I get it. It's not as 336 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: efficient as the new format, but it's just so much 337 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: more widely accepted. So great question, Mario, Thanks for calling 338 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: in today. Eight eight eight rich one oh one eight 339 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. 340 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna talk about cleaning up from this 341 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: CrowdStrike incident. We've got our cybersecurity expert Steve Churchin, standing 342 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: by and. 343 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 2: Ready to chat. We'll be right back. 344 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech.

We'll get back to the 352 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: phone lines in just a moment. But you know, we're 353 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: still kind of feeling the heat from this whole CrowdStrike 354 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: incident that melted down half the Windows world last week, 355 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: and we've learned some lessons I think, and here to 356 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: talk about that. Steve Churchin, CISO of Zypro, a Semi 357 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: Valley based cybersecurity solutions company. Steve, welcome to the show, Rich, 358 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: Good morning, thanks for joining me. So let's talk about 359 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: this incident. What's your main takeaway I guess from what 360 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: happened last week with this Windows update that went bad. 361 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: It wasn't really Windows fault though, well. 362 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 5: It was, And if you've ever wondered what a cyber 363 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 5: attack on our global infrastructure would look like. Just take 364 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 5: a look at this cyber arc cyber sorry CrowdStrike incident. 365 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 5: Reports say about eight and a half million Windows machines 366 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 5: were affected. Well, this represents less than one percent of 367 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 5: all devices running Windows. Unfortunately, these systems were some of 368 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 5: the in the most mission critical sectors of our global 369 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 5: economy in daily life. That's why the impact was so 370 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 5: large across so many varying sectors and businesses, and even 371 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 5: the consumer of the public felt it felt it the most. 372 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if you're on like Delta Airlines. 373 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: I know a lot of a lot of people had 374 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: issues with that, but but it took down so many systems. 375 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: So that's what's what's concerning to me is that this 376 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: was a company that was paid to protect these computers. 377 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: People make mistakes. Humans make mistakes. 378 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: Obviously they're going to look into their you know, their 379 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: testing situation with their software updates before they go out. 380 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: But can this happen again? 381 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 5: Absolutely could happen again. And just think about your reliance 382 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 5: on not just Microsoft and Windows, but your Apple iPhone, 383 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 5: your Android devices, anything where there's a large segment of 384 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 5: the population concentrated on a single technology or single provider, 385 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 5: this can happen again. 386 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: So how do you prevent What do you do? Do 387 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: you diversify what you're using or what. 388 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 5: Diversify is an easy answer, but that's easier said than done. 389 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 5: If we look at the Windows market, for example, seventy 390 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 5: five percent of every workstation out there is running a 391 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 5: Microsoft Windows operating system. You look at the mobile phone market, 392 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 5: seventy percent of all devices worldwide are running Android. And 393 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 5: I don't know if you've gone through this before, but 394 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 5: just trying to convince a Windows user, a lifelong Windows user, 395 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 5: to use something different like a Mac can be a 396 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 5: monumental feat. So we can say we need a diversifier technology, 397 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 5: but I don't know how practical that really would be. 398 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: Now, the interesting thing about this incident is that we 399 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: didn't hear anything about data being lost or our data 400 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: being shared or you know, leaked online or whatever because 401 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't a real cyber attack. So could that happen 402 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: in the future, Like, what could there be an instant 403 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: where something like this happens and our data is at risk? 404 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 5: Absolutely? Looking at a company like CrowdStrike, they service over 405 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 5: twenty four thousand enterprise customers. So if this were a 406 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 5: cyber attack and somebody did get in there, the possibility 407 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 5: that there's absolute possibility where they can excultrade data put 408 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 5: customer information at risk. We saw it a couple of 409 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 5: weeks ago with AT and T, the AT and T breach, 410 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 5: where they said nearly all of their customer records have 411 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 5: been compromised. So once they get in there, it's it's 412 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 5: for free for all. If they've got access to the data, 413 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 5: I can guarantee you they're going to take that data 414 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 5: and try and monetize it the best they can. Putting 415 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 5: all of us at risk. 416 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 2: That is wild. 417 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: What about Okay, so the home user, you know you 418 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: talk about this layered approach to cybersecurity. 419 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 2: What does that mean exactly? 420 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 5: So doing the things that best practices dictates we do, 421 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 5: for example, having antivirus, make sure your systems are all 422 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 5: protected using a proper anti virus program. 423 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: Before Before before we get to that, I want to 424 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm curious about your thought because I always ask the 425 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: cybersecurity experts about this. Windows has that defender built in. 426 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: Do you think people need something above and beyond that? 427 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 5: I don't think so. For most users, Windows Defender Defender 428 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 5: will be more than enough. I personally like Windows Defender, 429 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 5: and I've actually removed all my anti virus from all 430 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 5: my personal systems in relying on Windows Defender. 431 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,239 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, so keep going. I like to hear that. 432 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 5: So Windows Defender does a great Job's god, it's come 433 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 5: a long way in the last few years to catch 434 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 5: up with the rest of those antivirus markets. So it's 435 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 5: got all of the features you would expect from a 436 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 5: paid antivirus subscription. Before Windows Defender, I was actually using Kisperski, 437 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 5: and I just got a notice from the company I 438 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 5: was Kesperski from saying I can no longer renew Kispersky. 439 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: Yeah it was banned. 440 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's joining the likes of TikTok and Russia and 441 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: China and all this other stuff. We'll get to China's 442 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 1: whole deal with this in a moment, but a continue 443 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: your layered approach you were mentioning. 444 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 5: So making sure you've got antivirus turned on and using 445 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 5: it and not those free antiviruses. There's a big difference 446 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 5: between free anti virus and a paint subscription or Windows Defender. 447 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 5: So if you're going to use antivirus invest in a 448 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 5: good one. Windows Defender is a good one. It comes 449 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 5: with for free with the operating system. But there's others 450 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 5: out there. There's also these misconceptions that it's going to 451 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 5: slow down my computer, et cetera, it's going to provide 452 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 5: more benefit than it is going to provide all of 453 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 5: these other issues that people are worried about. I'm saying 454 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 5: this tongue in cheek, but Windows updates. Making sure all 455 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 5: of your updates are applied as quickly as possible. Now, unfortunately, 456 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 5: the crowd strike incident was because of an update they 457 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 5: had pushed out, which goes counter to what the advocacy 458 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 5: is to install those updates. But still you've got to 459 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 5: install those updates. The vendors are putting out those updates 460 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 5: because they're detecting bugs and vulnerabilities in their software, which 461 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 5: does updates help to patch, So install those updates. Make 462 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 5: sure your antivirus is updated current, turned on not disabled. 463 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 5: Make sure you're using a firewall. Windows has built in firewalls, 464 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 5: make sure those are turned on. Those will help stop threats. 465 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 5: Make sure using two factor authentication for everything. Two factor 466 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 5: authentication is where you log in with a username and 467 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 5: password and before you're granted access to a service or 468 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 5: an app or something that you either get a text 469 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 5: message or a prompt or some other way to verify 470 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 5: that you are who you say you are. 471 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very important. 472 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: Most of the people that email me about getting hacked 473 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: on Facebook or Instagram a first question I ask I say, hey, 474 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: did you have two factor and they say no, And 475 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 1: so that's really how they get in. It's just you 476 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: give up that password and it's game over quickly. Before 477 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: we go, I wanted to talk about the La Courts 478 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. The courts had a I guess like 479 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: some sort of ransomware attack at the same time as 480 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: this CrowdStrike. So how are these major organizations and companies 481 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: falling victim to stuff like this? 482 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 5: Most of the time, majority of the time, it's through 483 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 5: a phishing email. You'll get an email with a malicious 484 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 5: link or an attachment as part of it. And if 485 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 5: you especially if you send this target non technical staff 486 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 5: like administrators or finance people hr, which are the likely 487 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 5: targets for these types of emails, it's very easy to 488 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 5: pull somebody into clicking a link which installs a malicious 489 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 5: program on your system, and that allows the attackers to 490 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 5: get their foot in the door into the network. It's 491 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 5: it's crazy, and these emails are getting more and more sophisticated. 492 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, my mom sent me one today and as she said, Hey, 493 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: is this real or not? And I thought it was 494 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: fake and it actually turned out to be real. It 495 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: was like a notification from her bank about a charge 496 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: that they thought was fraudulent. So, Steve, you you work 497 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: with this stuff every day. You help protect companies, you know, 498 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: from all this stuff. Do you just sit there and 499 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: like do you see stuff that's new on a daily 500 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: basis and say I can't believe this, Like these people 501 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: are really just out to get everyone. 502 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 5: I wish I could say I'm seeing new threats, and 503 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 5: there are new threats not to say, but the old 504 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 5: ones that have been around for a decade now are 505 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 5: still working because we make it too easy for them. 506 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 5: For example, what I just said about sending an email 507 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 5: with a link in it, people are still falling for it. 508 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 5: That's why it's such a lucrative method to compromise and 509 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 5: introduce ransomware into it into a system. So we've got 510 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 5: to be we've got to raise our own vigilance. So 511 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 5: we've got to be more hyper aware of what's going on, 512 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 5: what the reality of the world is today, and making 513 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 5: sure that we're not trusting everything that gets sent to 514 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 5: us that we're mis not trusting more than we are trusting, 515 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 5: because they're praying on our naivety. They're praying on us 516 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 5: being quick to react, They're praying on all kinds of 517 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 5: human behavior that allows them to get in. 518 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: All right, I think we're going to leave it there. 519 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: Steve church In from Zypro dot com x y pro 520 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: dot com cybersecurity solutions company.

I think I 543 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: figured this out. I got to hit this twice today 544 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: for some reason. Diane, you're on with Rich. That's my 545 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: mom's name. 546 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 2: Hey, Rich, mom has a good name. I agree. 547 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 6: I have an iPhone thirteen promat okay, and it wants 548 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 6: and picks to non iPhones even when I turn off 549 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 6: the on message. 550 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: Oh that's interesting at all at all. Okay. 551 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 6: I have a brother and a friend both don't have iPhones, 552 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 6: and I've confused rooster to keep scrolling. 553 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: So sorry, Oh I don't hear the confused rooster. But 554 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: I love that name. I love It's like it's such 555 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: a character name. Confused Rooster. Hey, that's just confused rooster. 556 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 2: Okay. 557 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: So number one, what I would do is it sounds 558 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: like there is some sort of misconfiguration with your with 559 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: your network settings. So on the iPhone, there is a 560 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: way to reset those. Have you tried doing this? 561 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 4: No, I have no wine. 562 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: Okay, So if you go into Settings and then General, 563 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: if you scroll all the way down, it says transfer, 564 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: transfer or reset phone. And it's a little scary because 565 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: it makes it seem like it's gonna mess up everything, 566 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: but it's not. But if you tap that and then 567 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: you'll see something that says reset. And I don't want 568 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: you to do this just yet. I want you to 569 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: do your research before you actually do this, because there 570 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: are some things you have to redo after you change 571 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: your settings. But inside there you'll see an option that 572 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: says reset network settings. And so if you reset those, 573 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: that will bring everything back to sort of factory, which 574 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: means it's gonna make sure that your cellular is connected right, 575 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna make sure your messages are setting right, it's 576 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: gonna make sure your Wi Fi is all good, your 577 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: Bluetooth and so what you will have to do if 578 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: you decide to tap reset network settings is you will 579 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: have to reconnect all of your Bluetooth devices and your 580 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: Wi fis. So that just be aware of that now, 581 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: I would probably recommend doing that. But here's the other 582 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: thing you can do. Are you trying to send these 583 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: messages in an existing text thread or are you starting 584 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: a new one? Okay, so on iPhone sometimes it gets 585 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: hung up on sending messages to non iPhone users in 586 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: an existing thread if something ever went wrong, and so 587 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: what I would do is delete that thread. You can 588 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: swipe right to left on any thread inside your messages 589 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: up will pop up a trash can in red. You 590 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: can press delete, and then I would try typing composing 591 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: a new message to this person and sending the photo. 592 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: The other thing, obviously, before you do anything else, is 593 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: just do a reset of your phone. You can actually 594 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: ask Siri to reset your phone or restart your phone 595 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: rather and so obviously restarting your phone can help. But 596 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: those are the methods that I would do to fix 597 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: that problem. Now, if you're looking at just sending pictures 598 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: between iPhone and Android, I've talked about this before, but 599 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: it's all going to get better come September because iPhone 600 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: is finally getting what's called RCS messaging, which means you'll 601 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: be able to send photos and videos to Android phones 602 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: and vice versa. Just the way you send them to 603 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: I Message recipients. So you can send large, large photos, 604 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,479 Speaker 1: large videos, and they will finally look the same that 605 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,239 Speaker 1: they should some other methods. If you're looking for some 606 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: workarounds in the meantime, I always recommend using a third 607 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: party app to send large files and photos and videos, 608 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: something like a Telegram, something like a Facebook Messenger. You 609 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: can even use Instagram Messenger. There are some apps as well, 610 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: So WhatsApp obviously is a great app to send large 611 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: photos and videos between different platforms. But there's also an 612 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: app called local Send. And now I'm just kind of 613 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: bringing this out more broadly for send exchanging photos and 614 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: videos on iPhone and Android. A lot of this will 615 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: be a moot point comes September, but right now it's 616 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: still very valid. But there's a website called local send 617 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: dot org and this is a free, open source, cross 618 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: platform tool that lets you send files to nearby devices. 619 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: And so if you install local send on your laptop 620 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: and on your phone and they're on the same Wi 621 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,479 Speaker 1: Fi network, you'll be able to share those files fast 622 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: and free, and they can be large size, and so 623 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: that's really easy, and that's great. If let's say you've 624 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: got a maccomputer and an iPhone at home and you 625 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: want to exchange files, that's an easy way to do it. Now, 626 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: if you don't want to download any software, there's a 627 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: handy website called snap drop dot net snap drop dot net, 628 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: and all you have to do is go to this 629 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: website on both devices, and as long as you're on 630 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: the same network, you can exchange files between those two 631 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: devices with no software downloads. So it's a really easy 632 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: way to share items across the network without downloading any 633 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: software or really figuring out a lot, because you're just 634 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: going to a website. So those are two really easy 635 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: ways to exchange photos and videos, kind of like air drop, 636 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: but air drop is proprietary between iPhones or between mac 637 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: anything Apple, and so these are systems that work across 638 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: various devices. And by the way, Android has their own 639 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: their own version of air drop. They call it they 640 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: just renamed it. It's now called what's it called now, 641 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: quicksend our quick share, I think it's called and they 642 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: just so that was actually Samsung's property, quick Share, and 643 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: then Android kind of absorbed it and now it works 644 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: across all androids. So the neat thing about quick share 645 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: is that it works across all Android phones. So if 646 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: you have Android to Android, always use quick Share because 647 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: it's so simple and you can share large files nearby. 648 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: If you haven't a Samsung phone, it actually takes it 649 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: up a notch and it gives you a QR code 650 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: that the other person can scan. Now, the only issue 651 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: with all of this is that if you're in an 652 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: area where you only have a cell signal and you're 653 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: trying to share a big file, it does need to 654 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: upload that file over the cell signal. So if it's 655 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: not a very good signal, it's not going to be 656 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: very good. Diane and Pineland, thanks so much for your 657 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: call today. Appreciate that. Okay, I'm gonna waste a little 658 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: bit of your time or you're gonna waste your own 659 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: time once I tell you about this. I already see 660 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: Bobo playing with it. But it's a new feature from 661 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: Meta called imagine Me. So we've seen all these AI 662 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: selfie generators out there, a lot of them required you 663 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: to download an app. This is built in now to Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, 664 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: and WhatsApp, and the way to access it is just 665 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: all you have to do is chat and so imagine 666 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: me as an AI image generator. It's available in beta 667 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: and it makes any picture of you you want, doing 668 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 1: anything you want in any style.

It may say, hey, you 673 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: don't have access just yet. But if you go into 674 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: let's just say Instagram, and you go into your chat 675 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: window and then you tap where it says ask Meta 676 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: AI and then there's a little blue arrow to the 677 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: right and that will take you into Meta AI.

All right, let's go 707 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: to We got an email here from Let's see here, 708 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: Joe writes in I've received a concerning letter from Ticketmaster 709 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 1: about a data breach through a third party cloud database. 710 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 2: From April to May. 711 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: They're offering twelve months of free credit monitoring, but I'm 712 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: not sure what to do could I have caused this breach? 713 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 1: What exactly is a cloud database? Should I take this seriously? Interestingly, 714 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: Ticketmaster claims I have an account with them, which I 715 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: don't recall creating. My credit has been locked with the 716 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: three major credit bureaus for about six years due to 717 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: a past incident with PayPal. What steps should I take 718 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: to protect myself in this situation? You and many other 719 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: people this Ticketmaster data security incident. All the companies when 720 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: they have one of these data breaches, they play it down. 721 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: They just put like this help page on their website 722 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: that with this very like innocuous title like Ticketmaster data 723 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: Security incident, Like, no, we got hacked and you know 724 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: all of your information's now floating around on the way, 725 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: So what happened? This is the actual thing you need 726 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: to know. So a third party cloud database, So that 727 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: means something they had stored with a third party vendor 728 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: that vendor got hacked or breached, and that information has 729 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: been stolen or leaked or taken, and so there's been 730 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: no unauthorized activity after that. 731 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 2: This is what Ticketmaster's saying. So what was in this database? 732 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: That's what we always want to know, right, The database 733 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: contains limited personal information of some customers who bought tickets 734 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: to events in North America, US, Canada, Mexico, so that 735 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: means they know that you went to Taylor Swift. This 736 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: information includes email, phone number, encrypted credit card information, as 737 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: well as some other personal information provided to us. So 738 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: my thought on this is that I don't think you 739 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: gave Ticketmaster your social security number. I'm not sure if 740 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: they collect dates of birth, but the information that's out 741 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 1: there is your email address and your phone number, and 742 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: those are probably pretty good pieces of information to have. 743 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: So that means they may target people with some sort 744 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: of phishing email based on your email or phone numbers, 745 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: so you could see a rise in spam or text 746 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: because of that. Now, the encrypted credit card information, I'm 747 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: not really worried about because with credit cards versus your 748 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: actual bank account. Now, if it's your debit card, they 749 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: say credit card, so that could include debit cards. I'm 750 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: not really sure why they use the word credit card, 751 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: but that could also be debit cards. So in that 752 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: case it is troubling because that means you could see 753 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: a charge on your credit card or your debit card 754 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: because of this hack. Now they say they were encrypted, 755 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: which means unless the third party or the hackers, you know, 756 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: somehow unencrypt these and crack that encryption and then decode them. 757 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: They may not have the full credit card information, but 758 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: as far as data breaches go, this one is not 759 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 1: as bad as a lot of them that we you've seen, 760 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: like the AT and T one had everything. Every piece 761 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: of information that you could have about yourself is in 762 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: the AT and T hack, which is on the dark 763 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 1: web as we speak. That's your name, that's your phone number, 764 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: that's your data birth that's your your account numbers, and 765 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: also your Social Security number. 766 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 2: That was not done here. 767 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: So should you take advantage of that free twelve twelvemonth 768 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: identity monitoring service? That's up to you personally. I would 769 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 1: not in this case because I'm not seeing the level 770 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: of personal information that I'm concerned about. My email address, 771 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: my phone number, it's out there. You can search for 772 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: anyone's out there. It's all on the web. So the 773 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: credit card number, again, if it's credit card, I'm not 774 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 1: really that's more of a Chase problem, American Express problem. 775 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 2: They will deal with those fraudulent charges. 776 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: If it's your bank, Bank of America, Chase, you know, 777 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 1: whatever bank you have, that's more. That's more of an 778 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: issue because those charges will show up on your account 779 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 1: if there is a farge of fraud in charge, like 780 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: a you know, on your bank account, because debit cards 781 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: take money directly from your accounts. So in that case, 782 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: I would be a little concerned. But there's still not 783 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: much you can do once this information's out there. It's 784 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: out there, So I hope that answers your question a 785 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 1: little bit, Joe. But as far as some of these 786 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: other breaches, the Ticketmaster one feels ichy and I can't 787 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: believe these companies still every single breach that we're seeing 788 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: a majority of them are through these third party databases. 789 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:27,399 Speaker 2: And what does that mean. 790 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: Well, all these big companies they use, they rely on 791 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: other companies to help them do their work, and these 792 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: other companies may not be as protected as say Ticketmaster, 793 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: and so that's what happens when all these things go bad. 794 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to uh, let's go to Mark in Winetka. Okay, 795 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: there we go, Mark, you're on. 796 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 7: With R Yes, sir, I wanted to ask you about 797 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 7: getting free. I'm just a casual user to do some 798 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 7: editing software for photos and videos and interested in a 799 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 7: download a downloader for YouTube. But you know, I was 800 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 7: thinking of listening to all the phone questions you're answering. 801 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,879 Speaker 7: Do you know if there's anything that can replace the 802 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 7: phone I loved most, which was the Yoda three. It 803 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 7: had a dual sided screen on its phone. I see 804 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 7: that there's something like the High Sense that has a 805 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 7: even has a color e inc. I like it because 806 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 7: it used very little energy. I go out on a 807 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 7: long distance writing, so I run an app and if 808 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 7: I run it on the e ink it hardly uses 809 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 7: any power whatsoever. I do you have any suggestions there? 810 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: Okay, well let's break down some of your questions. So 811 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: first off, for the e phone, there is a phone 812 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,919 Speaker 1: that a lot of people are it's getting a lot 813 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: of publicity right now or a lot of press. It's 814 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: called the Books Palma Box, Palma p A l M 815 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: A and this is basically the kindle of smartphone. So 816 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: the screen is e inc and I've not gotten this personally, 817 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: I do. I'm actually tempted to get one, but you know, 818 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of pricey for what it is. 819 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 2: It is three hundred bucks. 820 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: But like you said, it is an e ink display, 821 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: which means the battery is gonna last, you know, forever 822 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: on this thing. It's basically a mini kindle that runs Android, 823 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 1: and so you can read on it, but you can 824 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: also run actual Android apps on it. So again that's 825 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 1: the books Palma Box Palma. That's the only one I know. 826 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of phones that experimented with these 827 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,279 Speaker 1: e ink displays, like on the backside, they've never come 828 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: to a place where they're you know, super popular, and 829 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,399 Speaker 1: so they've they've never been very prevalent, Like we haven't 830 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: seen a mainstream device with that feature. But this book's 831 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: Palma is probably the most popular at this point. And 832 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I want one. I don't know why 833 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: I have a kindle. I've got many smartphones, as Bobo 834 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: can attest to, but I this thing just seems fun, right. 835 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: It's just like it's an e ink reader that also 836 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 1: runs Android. So that's for that. When it comes to 837 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 1: video editing, I will tell you my favorite apps and 838 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: you can use them. Number one is free. It is 839 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: called cap cut, and that is probably the number one 840 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,439 Speaker 1: app that every creator out there is using to edit 841 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 1: video on their mobile phone. So it does come from TikTok. 842 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: So there is a level of like ichiness there, but 843 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: it's got every feature you could ever imagine, and it 844 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: is fantastic. It is what I use a majority of 845 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 1: the time to edit anything that is on my phone 846 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 1: or on social media. It's completely free. There are obviously 847 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: paid features inside of that, but you can completely avoid 848 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 1: those and use that program for free to edit on 849 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: your phone. It works for both iPhone and Android, and 850 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: it's really really good. The other app that I like 851 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: for editing is called Splice. Splic I'll be honest, I 852 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 1: don't use it as much because cap Cut does pretty 853 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 1: much everything I need. I think Splice has a much 854 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 1: more simple and beautiful design. But again it's a freemium 855 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: kind of level app, so you can do a couple 856 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,760 Speaker 1: of things on there for free, but at some point 857 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: you may have to pay for some of the features 858 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: that are on there. There are other apps as well. 859 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: Apple has one called Clips. But if you search the 860 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: app store, if you just you know, even if I 861 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 1: search for cap cut, I'm sure I'll get like a 862 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: million different video editors. Let's see you got cap cut. 863 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many video editors that you can download, 864 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: but I will tell you the one that I like. 865 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: The most is the is the cap cut one and 866 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: the splice there is I'm trying to remember the other 867 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: one that's very popular. 868 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 2: I can't think of it off the top of my head. 869 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: But the other thing that everyone does and I just 870 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,919 Speaker 1: did this with the video if you look at the video, 871 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: I posted a confessional today about my newfound love of 872 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: the I don't know what they call them. It's like 873 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 1: the it's like a Stanley cup but it has like 874 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: a straw in it, and I just I never had 875 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: one until today. Yeah, this is the one I'm using. 876 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: Is called hydroflask, but Stanley is the other brand. But uh, 877 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 1: if you notice everyone's doing that thing where it's like 878 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 1: they put the captions on the screen. There's many many 879 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: ways you can do it, but the the absolute best 880 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: way is an app called Captions Go Figure and it's 881 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 1: it's really good. Like I'm not kidding. You know, my 882 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: name is spelled d E m U r O.

Yes, how do I remove personal information from Google? 924 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 9: Because it's unsafe? And my accounts were hacked. My accounts 925 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 9: and devices were hacked three times that I know of, 926 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 9: within the year. The worst one was last April and 927 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 9: including my bank account online was hacked and I put 928 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 9: ib password was hacked, Gmail password was tacked, credit card 929 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 9: number was hacked, and my phone was hacked and so. 930 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 10: To me. 931 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 9: So I had to put a credit freeze on my 932 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 9: three on the three credit bureaus, and then I got 933 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 9: another letter saying that there was a notice of data 934 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:07,360 Speaker 9: breach that my name, social Security number, date data, birth 935 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 9: and address were on public online from November twenty twenty 936 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,919 Speaker 9: three to December three, twenty twenty three. 937 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 1: And so yeah, so I mean yet, so what I'm 938 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,840 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing is that you've got a lot of 939 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: your personal information online and you don't want it there. 940 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,919 Speaker 9: Every time I move, my current address is on. 941 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll go. Here's the thing. 942 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 9: It's against our privacy, right. 943 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 2: No, it's not. 944 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: Why not, Well, because they're getting it from databases that 945 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: are public, and anytime you move or buy a house 946 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 1: or anything that information is public, someone's got it in 947 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: a courthouse somewhere. And what these companies do is they 948 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 1: go there and they get it and they put it online. 949 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 1: And it's not Google. They're just indexing the information. So 950 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 1: Google's actually not putting it there. But with all that said, 951 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,760 Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. It's it's it's not fun 952 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: to have this stuff on there. It's not fun to 953 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: do a search for yourself and see your home address, 954 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 1: see your phone number, see your data birth. It's all 955 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 1: out there though. 956 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 9: And then yeah, I told the police when I reported 957 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,320 Speaker 9: this to the police, and I'm gonna I reported it 958 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 9: to Federal Trade Commissions and I'm gonna report it to FBI. 959 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:20,400 Speaker 9: I told the police because so many people are following me, 960 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 9: like always talking me and harassing me. They know what 961 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 9: my bank is and anyone anything related to me.

And 965 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,839 Speaker 9: then they know where my bank is, and then they 966 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 9: tried also to Fortunately, they also tried to hack into 967 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 9: my and and I think they were able to sow 968 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,879 Speaker 9: I was Fortunately I was able to call the bank 969 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,439 Speaker 9: and block my account right away.

And one of them is 976 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 9: like they would ask like a previous address, and it's 977 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 9: all there in Google.

So we're gonna talk about Samsung's 1030 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 1: latest devices. They came out, the whole bunch of them. 1031 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 1: They've got two foldable phones, they've got a new ultra 1032 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 1: watch plus a regular watch. Plus they're smart ring that 1033 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,359 Speaker 1: a lot of people are talking about. But first, I 1034 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: just wanted you to share your story, your medical story, 1035 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,359 Speaker 1: just wild and why you think, you know, people should 1036 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 1: really be interested in this, in this health monitoring because 1037 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 1: of it. 1038 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 2: So tell me what happened. 1039 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,759 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I've always been someone who generally, you know, 1040 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 4: took my health and granted never had anything major. And 1041 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,280 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty I had probably one of the biggest 1042 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 4: things you can have a heart attack, literally the a 1043 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,879 Speaker 4: few hours in to Black Priding. So just a little 1044 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 4: bit of stress related causes there. And ever since then, 1045 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 4: I've been on a journey to look at how you 1046 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 4: improve your health using technology. I know that people have 1047 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 4: looked at that before, but when I was kind of 1048 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 4: going through well how am I going to recover? I 1049 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:22,080 Speaker 4: realized that technology gives you access to data. It's not 1050 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 4: for everybody, but if you like data and you're the 1051 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,320 Speaker 4: type of person who loves to play games or little 1052 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 4: competitions with yourself where you're like, oh, I might have 1053 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 4: slept this way, this was my score. I need to 1054 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,359 Speaker 4: get better, and that's the kind of person I am. 1055 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,280 Speaker 4: This is the most transformative thing to helping you actually 1056 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 4: get better in a way that you're motivated to do so. 1057 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,839 Speaker 1: And this heart attack happened at the young, very young 1058 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,879 Speaker 1: age of thirty three, which makes it all that more 1059 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 1: unique and important for the rest of your life. 1060 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:54,240 Speaker 2: Obviously. 1061 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think a lot of people say 1062 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 4: the heart attackles greatest thing that happened to him, and 1063 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 4: I completely concur with that. But I think when it 1064 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 4: happens later in your life versus happening at thirty three, 1065 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 4: when you're at middle not even middle, depending on your 1066 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 4: own trajectory, you it makes you really understand that this 1067 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 4: is this is a chance, this is a chance to rebuild. 1068 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,240 Speaker 4: Since the heart attack, I've lost over one hundred pounds 1069 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 4: some of it medical related to some of it just 1070 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,919 Speaker 4: because I'm way more active and exercising a lot more, 1071 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,839 Speaker 4: not just because of the heart attack, but I'm also diabetic, 1072 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,440 Speaker 4: and I have other small ailments that kind of all 1073 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:39,719 Speaker 4: bound together and part of doing part of just being 1074 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,279 Speaker 4: able to go well. I actually want to live another 1075 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,800 Speaker 4: thirty forty years has been I don't want to wait 1076 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 4: and go to a doctor every two months and get 1077 00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,200 Speaker 4: a check to then go well in two months time. 1078 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 4: You know there's a delayed gratification there. I want to 1079 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,160 Speaker 4: know that when I'm doing better than I and I 1080 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 4: made the decision to do better, whether it's my blood 1081 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 4: sugar and my weight, my pressure and my heart rate, 1082 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 4: my variability, or any of these metrics. I kind of 1083 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,280 Speaker 4: want to know that the things I'm doing are having 1084 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,240 Speaker 4: actions straight away, not wait for a doctor to tell. 1085 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 1: Me that is that is such a key aspect of 1086 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,120 Speaker 1: health in the year twenty twenty four, And I one 1087 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,480 Speaker 1: hundred percent agree, because you know, I go to the 1088 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: doctor once a year for a physical checkup. You meet 1089 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: with the doctor, and I love my guy, but like 1090 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's quick and you get your results back, 1091 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: usually by a voicemail and that's it. And so this technology, 1092 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 1: these health monitoring systems, like what we're going to talk 1093 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 1: about with Samsung and the rings is it's giving you 1094 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: a media information and I know, the holy grail with 1095 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, diabetics is the blood glucose through you know, 1096 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 1: a non evasive method, right like maybe through a watch, 1097 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 1: which we're not there just yet. Weight Yeah, I know 1098 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people ready for that. But the heart 1099 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: stuff and all this other it does continue to build. 1100 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: So let's talk about your impressions of, you know, sort 1101 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: of what Samsung did with the ring and the Ultra Watch. 1102 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 2: What do you make of these things? 1103 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 4: Oh? I really like the ring. The ring is super 1104 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 4: interesting because I have I get swollen fingers a lot, 1105 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,919 Speaker 4: and one of the best parts of the Galaxy ring 1106 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 4: designed for me is it's concave that bends inwards versus 1107 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 4: a traditional ring is either slightly outwards or flat. When 1108 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 4: it bends inwards, and you've got swollen fingers like I 1109 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 4: do a lot, it doesn't impact them anywhere near as 1110 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 4: much as the Oral ring, which I've been using for 1111 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,840 Speaker 4: several years at this point, well since the Genrey came out. 1112 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 4: It's really fascinating that they launched Ring and Watch together 1113 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 4: and they want you to use both. I've been using 1114 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 4: the Galaxy Watch Altra for a couple of weeks and 1115 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 4: it's basically the most premium watch for Android users that 1116 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 4: there's ever kind of ever been. I've done things like 1117 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 4: looked at with things and stuff, but they're not true 1118 00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 4: smart watches. This is a true smart watch if you 1119 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 4: can get past the orange band, which I'm not a 1120 00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 4: fan of. You know, there's plenty of other band choices out. 1121 00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 4: The Ring for me is the super interesting one. Like 1122 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 4: I know a lot of people who are traditionalists. They 1123 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 4: want that analog watch. They don't like these big displays 1124 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 4: on their wrists. But what they really want is still 1125 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 4: some of the heart benefits. That's where hybrid smart watches 1126 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:21,280 Speaker 4: come in. But even they don't compare to any number 1127 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 4: of brands that are like that put style into the 1128 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 4: time piece, and it's really hard to do that in 1129 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 4: a smart watch. 1130 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:28,919 Speaker 11: Here. 1131 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 4: If you're one of those people where you want the 1132 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 4: health benefits, that's what the Ring does. And I there's 1133 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 4: only been a couple of days, but what really comes 1134 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 4: to mind is I like their energy scores. That gives 1135 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,640 Speaker 4: you just a it gives you a number to go, 1136 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 4: combining your sleep, your activity, and all of those things 1137 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 4: together to go, this is how recovered and ready you 1138 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 4: are for the day. Well that what I've already found 1139 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 4: is my first couple of days have been in the 1140 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 4: sixties because I'm not sleeping well, well, okay, I need 1141 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 4: to make sure that tomorrow is one percent better. And 1142 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,919 Speaker 4: if you just aim for one percent better every single day, 1143 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 4: it only takes one hundred days three and a half 1144 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,320 Speaker 4: months to see real progress in your sleep. And with 1145 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 4: the Galaxy Ring, based on the sleep report that I've 1146 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 4: kind of been sharing, they are really really detailed. They're 1147 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,480 Speaker 4: super detail. They give you everything from your sleep stages 1148 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 4: to sleep stages. It gives you your resting heart rate, 1149 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,439 Speaker 4: your heart rate variability, which is really really important. Higher 1150 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 4: the number, the better there and it gives you this 1151 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:35,720 Speaker 4: super and a key profile of what's happening with your 1152 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 4: body while you're asleep. Unlike other rings, what I really 1153 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,959 Speaker 4: like is as well, is it a one of cost. 1154 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 4: There is no subscription right now. 1155 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 2: A charge. They're like a couple bucks a month, right. 1156 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 4: Think about six or seven dollars now. I have Lifetime 1157 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 4: because I was a Gen two user, but that doesn't 1158 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 4: I think, forgive that you're paying three hundred dollars and 1159 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,960 Speaker 4: then you're paying six dollars a month. I used to 1160 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,600 Speaker 4: be a woop band user and that meant paying three 1161 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 4: hundred dollars a year, and as soon as I stop 1162 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 4: paying for it, I lost access to a hardware and 1163 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 4: your other old data. So Samson can afford to do 1164 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 4: all of this. And I've been a massive fan of 1165 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,200 Speaker 4: something Health for a while, specifically sleep. I think it's 1166 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 4: fascinating to sleep because everyone else gives you a lot 1167 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 4: of data. But Samson Health is super key because it 1168 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:34,240 Speaker 4: really makes it simple enough for anyone to understand what 1169 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:38,160 Speaker 4: a metric means, what factors can cause a lower than 1170 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 4: ideal score, and what kind of your goal should be. 1171 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it is all presented in a very straightforward way. 1172 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 1: There's been some talk about, by the way, the battery 1173 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 1: for the ring lasts they say up to seven days. 1174 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 1: I think the battery is a champ on this thing, 1175 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: and it's it's been really good for me in my testing. Obviously, 1176 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 1: things can vary depending on how you use it. I 1177 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 1: do feel sometimes sometimes at night, I do feel a 1178 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 1: little stressed out wearing the ring because I feel like 1179 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: I'm being graded. So I think for some people that 1180 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,760 Speaker 1: may come into effect. Maybe I'm unique in that because 1181 01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 1: I do know a lot of people that wear these 1182 01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 1: rings and they don't feel that way, but I personally 1183 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 1: do like I'm like, oh gosh, if I if I 1184 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 1: toss and turn, it's going to ruin my score. And 1185 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 1: so sometimes I'll like, I'll take the ring off when 1186 01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 1: I sleep because I'm just worried about that. What what uh? 1187 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 1: What's your guidance on this versus? So I think if you. 1188 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 4: I think any losing doing anything, and I when I 1189 01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 4: you know, I was fortunate in that I would medically 1190 01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 4: forced to get on a treadmill and exercise. But for 1191 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 4: a good couple of months of my four months we 1192 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 4: had I was doing that at home and it became 1193 01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 4: challenging and I lost motivation definitely. But you've got to 1194 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 4: be I think, to improve your health in any way, 1195 01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 4: in using any metric, you have to be okay with 1196 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 4: the fact that life is a there's peaks and troughs, 1197 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 4: You're never perfect. Don't judge yourself because generally your worst 1198 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 4: enemy when it comes to losing weight or getting healthy 1199 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 4: in any way is your own perception of yourself and 1200 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,439 Speaker 4: if you're if you perceive yourself a certain way, you'll 1201 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 4: never be happy with the small winds that you see. 1202 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 4: If you're sleep just went from saying sixty percent and 1203 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,640 Speaker 4: your score is sixty and you had a day when 1204 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 4: it's a ninety, that means, you know, just take that 1205 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,440 Speaker 4: for a win, because that's what it is, and recognize 1206 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 4: that that is a day when you're like, Okay, I'm 1207 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 4: really going to make the most of this day.

I love speaking with intelligent people because I 1246 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 10: learned things and that's what I want to do today. 1247 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:34,920 Speaker 2: Well, why are you calling me? 1248 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 10: Sure? Listen. I haven't had television for like forty years, 1249 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 10: so my computer's kind of my lifeline. And I don't 1250 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 10: have a cell phone, mostly for economical reasons, so the 1251 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,440 Speaker 10: sky is not the limit. But I try to find 1252 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:55,440 Speaker 10: a happy medium and size and weight and all these things. 1253 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 10: I have a couple things for a laptop that are 1254 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 10: deal killers, like I cannot my brain just will not 1255 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 10: adapt to a numeric keypad next to my regular keyboard. 1256 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 10: And everything seems to be touch screen. And yet I 1257 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 10: read things that say touch screens never went over well, 1258 01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,720 Speaker 10: but that seems to be the wave of the future. 1259 01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:24,360 Speaker 10: And I like my uses. I'm disabled. I'll be seventy 1260 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,200 Speaker 10: six before the end of the year, but I still 1261 01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 10: have a great brain, and so I really I'm very 1262 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:34,440 Speaker 10: active online and I want to be able to do 1263 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:38,000 Speaker 10: the things I want to do with comfort. And I 1264 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,480 Speaker 10: do spend some time in bed so that using my 1265 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 10: hands to the left, if you will, with the numeric 1266 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,959 Speaker 10: pad there, my brain just will not adjust. I keep 1267 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 10: mistyping and it just makes me crazy. And I looked 1268 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,560 Speaker 10: and looked and did some research, went into costco, spend 1269 01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 10: a couple of hours, made charts and process of elimination 1270 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,440 Speaker 10: for this one, no one, And I originally said, I know. 1271 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 10: Usually the first thing you asked is what's your price point? 1272 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:05,959 Speaker 4: Yep. 1273 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,400 Speaker 10: So I was looking between four or five hundred dollars, 1274 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 10: which is still a lot of money for me. However, 1275 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 10: when I started looking at Costco, and I really want 1276 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 10: to buy from Costco because they have the protection and 1277 01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 10: the tech support, and Costco is always really great with 1278 01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 10: whom to deal. Absolutely, yeah, And so when they have 1279 01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,440 Speaker 10: one hundred and fifty off, one hundred off, two hundred off, 1280 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,680 Speaker 10: it's like I can kind of inch my price point 1281 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 10: up because I'm going to get like four hundred dollars 1282 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,360 Speaker 10: worth more of value for maybe spending two hundred more. 1283 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's the way Costco they always They always give 1284 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,600 Speaker 1: you a little extra for the same money you might 1285 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 1: pay at a at a big box store. 1286 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:50,880 Speaker 2: So, right, and how can I help? 1287 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,919 Speaker 10: Well, you can probably tell you know, I've done lots 1288 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 10: of research, but search engines on websites are for stone, 1289 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 10: because you know, I don't want to touch screen unless 1290 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 10: you can tell me something about touch screens, of which 1291 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:10,200 Speaker 10: I'm unaware. I like a conventional traditional Now I read 1292 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:16,280 Speaker 10: about mechanical keyboards and It's like, I just can't figure 1293 01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:17,640 Speaker 10: that one out quite. 1294 01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,479 Speaker 1: So are you looking for a Mac or a PC? 1295 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 1: What about a tablet? What about an iPad? 1296 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 10: I have a tablet. It's really kind of small for me. 1297 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 10: You know, it's convenient to sit at the throne and 1298 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 10: watch YouTube. 1299 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,640 Speaker 2: But that's about it. I think the best computer for 1300 01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 2: you to get would be the MacBook Air. 1301 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 1: I really do, and I can't afford it. Well, okay, 1302 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 1: so there that is tough. There is a MacBook Air 1303 01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: deal that has been going around and it's gotten Actually 1304 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,760 Speaker 1: it was down really really cheap through best Buy for 1305 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: a while, but you can get a refurbished one. But really, 1306 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,320 Speaker 1: the MacBook Air that you want is one version, which 1307 01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 1: is the minimum I would get for that device, and 1308 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 1: I've seen it as cheap as I think six fifty. 1309 01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,719 Speaker 1: There's actually a renewed one at best Buy it sound clearance. 1310 01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:16,240 Speaker 1: It looks like it's just under six hundred bucks. That's 1311 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,640 Speaker 1: that's a refurbished model. But I know you want to 1312 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,559 Speaker 1: buy at cost, go so if you can't, look if 1313 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,479 Speaker 1: you can't afford that, which I totally understand it. But 1314 01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 1: the thing is you're going to spend five hundred on 1315 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,519 Speaker 1: a Windows computer, and I'm not sure it's going to 1316 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: last you the same amount of time as the seven 1317 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 1: hundred you spend on the on the MacBook Air. 1318 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 10: So now I had bumped myself up to six forty nine, 1319 01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:40,639 Speaker 10: which was either one hundred and fifty or two hundred 1320 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:44,640 Speaker 10: off at Costco. But then I was finding features that 1321 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,680 Speaker 10: interfered with You know, I just have deal breakers and 1322 01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,160 Speaker 10: one as the numeric keypad. 1323 01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,559 Speaker 1: And I'd go with the I'd go with the MacBook Air. 1324 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,200 Speaker 1: Walmart's got it for six hundred and forty nine dollars 1325 01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,200 Speaker 1: if you can afford that. I think that that's going 1326 01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 1: to last you a couple I think it's going to 1327 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,559 Speaker 1: be no fuss. I think it's going to be simple. 1328 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,240 Speaker 2: I know it. You know, do you have a computer 1329 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 2: currently or no? 1330 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:12,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, but I have a laptop and the Chromebook and 1331 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:15,040 Speaker 10: they've posted under hash this care for most of this 1332 01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 10: year with the fan went out on the laptop. 1333 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,640 Speaker 1: And see that's what I'm saying, all these issues and 1334 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:26,200 Speaker 1: I've had MacBooks for years. I'm not kidding when I 1335 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,719 Speaker 1: tell you, Elizabeth that I gave my dad. I always 1336 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,559 Speaker 1: give someone else in my family my laptop when I'm 1337 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,839 Speaker 1: done with it, and my dad is using my laptop. 1338 01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:35,560 Speaker 2: I'm telling you. 1339 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,960 Speaker 1: Last I checked, I think it was eleven years old, 1340 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:42,439 Speaker 1: so and it's still working just fine. And so you know, 1341 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:44,719 Speaker 1: the software is not supported anymore, which is a problem 1342 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 1: for security. But my point is, I think I think 1343 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 1: this Apple write this down, Apple MacBook Air, the M one. 1344 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,719 Speaker 1: Walmart's got it for six forty nine. If you watch 1345 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,439 Speaker 1: the sales over the next month, you may be able 1346 01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:59,680 Speaker 1: to get that for five ninety nine because a lot 1347 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,320 Speaker 1: of these retailers have been having competitive back to school sales. 1348 01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:06,880 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be your best bet. It's gonna 1349 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:08,799 Speaker 1: be a great computer. It's gonna do all the stuff 1350 01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 1: you need. It's gonna be simple. If you don't want that, 1351 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,160 Speaker 1: you know there are other devices. Wirecutter keeps a list 1352 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:19,559 Speaker 1: of the best laptops under five hundred dollars. I would 1353 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,639 Speaker 1: not get a Chromebook because I just don't think those 1354 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,840 Speaker 1: are going to be that good. But the uh their 1355 01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:28,320 Speaker 1: top is the Acer Aspire three, which you know is 1356 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,840 Speaker 1: going to be decent, but it does have a touch screen, 1357 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 1: which I know you don't want. So I would check 1358 01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:38,320 Speaker 1: out those that list as well. But I think this 1359 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 1: this MacBook M one. It's a little bit old, but 1360 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 1: if you can steer yourself towards that, I think that's 1361 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,559 Speaker 1: gonna be a great, great solution for you. Thanks for 1362 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,439 Speaker 1: the call, Elizabeth and Rancho Mirage. Hope you're staying cool 1363 01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 1: out there.

Actually 1383 01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 1: he's going to talk about that, plus some ways to 1384 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:09,240 Speaker 1: upgrade your smartphone photo and video capture. If you get 1385 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:14,640 Speaker 1: an email from the Social Security Administration, it is legitimate 1386 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 1: most likely. I say most likely because yes, they have 1387 01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:21,519 Speaker 1: sent out emails to people notifying them of some important 1388 01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:25,400 Speaker 1: account changes. But of course scammers will capitalize on this, 1389 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 1: so be very careful. This is for anyone who signed 1390 01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:33,919 Speaker 1: up for a Social Security online account before September eighteenth, 1391 01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:37,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. You need to transition away from the 1392 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:42,320 Speaker 1: mysocial security login to what's called login dot gov credentials. 1393 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:44,640 Speaker 1: So if you get an email that says, hey, the 1394 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: way you log in is changing, yes it is real. 1395 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:52,759 Speaker 1: This is to align the log in with federal authentication standards. 1396 01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:56,400 Speaker 1: So basically they're upgrading the security of this. And the 1397 01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,559 Speaker 1: way to do it is you go to your account 1398 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,200 Speaker 1: that you will already have you log in and it 1399 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,080 Speaker 1: will say, hey, we need to upgrade you to the 1400 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 1: login dot gov credentials. And I'm not sure what that 1401 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,360 Speaker 1: process looks like what you have to do to sign 1402 01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,760 Speaker 1: up with the new log in, but that's what the 1403 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:14,519 Speaker 1: process is like, do not click any links in any 1404 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,679 Speaker 1: email saying hey, let's upgrade your account. 1405 01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 2: Do not do that. 1406 01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:23,240 Speaker 1: Go to the website itself. It's SSA. Dot gov is 1407 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,080 Speaker 1: the website. If you have a log in, you can 1408 01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 1: log in there and it will then proceed to show 1409 01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,880 Speaker 1: you how to change your log into the new, upgraded one. 1410 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,519 Speaker 1: So if you signed up in the last three years 1411 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 1: or so, you're fine, But anytime before September eighteenth, twenty 1412 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,160 Speaker 1: twenty one, you will need to transition to this new 1413 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:45,799 Speaker 1: what's called login dot gov. You know, obviously social security 1414 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:49,880 Speaker 1: is a I'm sure there's many many scams floating around 1415 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 1: about social security, but this email is not one of them. 1416 01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,920 Speaker 1: Just be careful. Though, Apple Maps is launching on the web. 1417 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 1: You can now look at Apple Maps on the web. 1418 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,520 Speaker 1: It is at beta dot maps dot Apple dot com. 1419 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,200 Speaker 1: You can use it on Windows computers. You can use 1420 01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,720 Speaker 1: it on Mac computers. You can use it on the iPad. 1421 01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,800 Speaker 1: You cannot use it on Android. If you try to 1422 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:15,840 Speaker 1: go to that website from an Android phone, it will 1423 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 1: say sorry, not support it. That sounds like a typical 1424 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:23,320 Speaker 1: Apple move. I'm not sure why they don't support it 1425 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:27,479 Speaker 1: on Android. Well, I kind of know why, but it's 1426 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:29,800 Speaker 1: kind of that. I mean, look, Apple Maps launched ten 1427 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:35,160 Speaker 1: years ago to basically one criticism. Nobody thought it was good, 1428 01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,240 Speaker 1: including Apple. They just kind of put it out there 1429 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,599 Speaker 1: and it was just like, Okay, we got this, and 1430 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,080 Speaker 1: it's just they wanted to make this thing, but they 1431 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,280 Speaker 1: just didn't do it very well. Now it's actually quite good. 1432 01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,320 Speaker 1: I still don't rely on it as I would Apple 1433 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,200 Speaker 1: Google Maps, but it's beautiful. It's got a lot of information. 1434 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:56,479 Speaker 1: I think it looks better than Apple map or let 1435 01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 1: me start over here. 1436 01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 2: I keep switching these things. 1437 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:02,519 Speaker 1: I think that Apple mapps looks more beautiful than Google Maps. 1438 01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,400 Speaker 1: I think Google Maps has better information, better traffic information, 1439 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:11,120 Speaker 1: better routing information, more points of interest, more data. But 1440 01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 1: Apple maps is still beautiful. It does the trick I 1441 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:18,320 Speaker 1: think for walking directions, it's really good. They've got guides, 1442 01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,439 Speaker 1: you can search pretty much. The website lets you do 1443 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:22,759 Speaker 1: a lot of the things you could do on the phone. Again, 1444 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,679 Speaker 1: this is beta, and beta, by the way, is code 1445 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:28,400 Speaker 1: for we're not sure if this works one hundred percent, 1446 01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:30,479 Speaker 1: but we're putting it out there, and so we just 1447 01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,599 Speaker 1: put that beta name on it, so if anything goes wrong, 1448 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:36,720 Speaker 1: don't blame us.

But I just noticed 1478 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 6: that the signal here is less than what I remember 1479 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:28,719 Speaker 6: where I lived before, and now that I am looking 1480 01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:32,200 Speaker 6: at switching phone companies if I need to what so 1481 01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,759 Speaker 6: I need to look for what are some good things? 1482 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,280 Speaker 6: And is it better to go with the big guys 1483 01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 6: or with one of the smaller people that borrow satellites 1484 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,120 Speaker 6: or borrow from the phone company. 1485 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, good question. 1486 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:50,440 Speaker 1: So I think Number one, you're in the Pacific Northwest, 1487 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:55,880 Speaker 1: which is that was primarily a T Mobile area back 1488 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,160 Speaker 1: in the day because that's where T Mobile was headquartered, 1489 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:05,679 Speaker 1: I believe, just out Seattle, just out side Seattle. So yeah, 1490 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:07,760 Speaker 1: and that's the thing I mean, look, with all of 1491 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:11,040 Speaker 1: these companies, it really depends on where you are where 1492 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:11,599 Speaker 1: you're going. 1493 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:12,400 Speaker 2: Uh. 1494 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:14,600 Speaker 1: In general, I would say if we're just doing like 1495 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 1: broad general kind of like characteristics of these companies. I 1496 01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 1: would say that Verizon is really good in like rural 1497 01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 1: areas because they had very strong service in a lot 1498 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,120 Speaker 1: of places. I think that T Mobile was very strong 1499 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,080 Speaker 1: in city centers, and I think AT and T is 1500 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,200 Speaker 1: kind of like in the middle. They're just pretty much 1501 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:37,240 Speaker 1: good everywhere, but maybe not the best in rural maybe 1502 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,439 Speaker 1: not the best in city centers, depending on how much 1503 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,479 Speaker 1: you know, uh cellular traffic and things are going on. 1504 01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,880 Speaker 1: So but again, all of this is highly localized to 1505 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:47,960 Speaker 1: the city and area that you're in. So what I 1506 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:52,439 Speaker 1: tell people is find a a cell company that works 1507 01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 1: where you work and where you live, and of course 1508 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,519 Speaker 1: you know where you're doing things. So for instance, uh, 1509 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,920 Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles, if you live in the hills 1510 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,920 Speaker 1: any to any kind of mountain area, you know, there's 1511 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,599 Speaker 1: only certain providers that work up there, and people that 1512 01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,439 Speaker 1: live in those neighborhoods tell each other like, hey, you know, 1513 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 1: Sprint works here back when Sprint was a thing, you know, 1514 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,640 Speaker 1: or T Mobile, right, T Mobile works in this neighborhood, 1515 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 1: So people gravitate towards those those services. So there is 1516 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,880 Speaker 1: an FCC map that you can look at. That's not 1517 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,000 Speaker 1: it's not really kept up anymore, but you might be 1518 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 1: able to get some information on there if you go 1519 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 1: to FCC dot gov slash Broadband Data. Oukla is another 1520 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:38,599 Speaker 1: one that keeps some maps there. Oh ok La, you 1521 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:43,040 Speaker 1: can look up there. They're testing maps as well for mobile, 1522 01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,720 Speaker 1: and then there's one called root Metrics. They have it 1523 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,000 Speaker 1: and then sell mapp or. I know I said those 1524 01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,920 Speaker 1: really fast, but I'll link them up on the website. 1525 01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:51,640 Speaker 1: But really, what I think you need to do is 1526 01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,679 Speaker 1: just talk to some people that are in the area 1527 01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,120 Speaker 1: and say, hey, what works best here? And it may 1528 01:20:58,400 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 1: may be in your case that AT and T is 1529 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 1: not the best. Maybe T Mobile is the best. To 1530 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 1: answer the second part of your question, the mv and 1531 01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:11,800 Speaker 1: os versus the main company, So in general, the mv 1532 01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,840 Speaker 1: and os they rent the service from the main company. 1533 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,799 Speaker 1: So there's only really I think there's a fourth network 1534 01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 1: at this point. I think Dish Network is building some 1535 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,920 Speaker 1: sort of network here in America as well, but I 1536 01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 1: don't think it's ready in like a big way just yet. 1537 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:29,280 Speaker 1: But AT and T, Mobile and Verizon are the ones 1538 01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:31,840 Speaker 1: that operate the main networks. All the other companies kind 1539 01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,439 Speaker 1: of rent the space from them for the mv and o's, 1540 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,960 Speaker 1: and I think really what the differentiator there is that, 1541 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:42,160 Speaker 1: of course the companies own customers. Their first party customers 1542 01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,040 Speaker 1: are always going to have priority on the network. 1543 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:45,760 Speaker 2: I think the way the mv and. 1544 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:50,120 Speaker 1: O's prioritize is really with their customer service. So I 1545 01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,640 Speaker 1: think you're probably going to get the best service and 1546 01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:57,000 Speaker 1: signal from the first party, and I think the third party, 1547 01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,120 Speaker 1: you're going to get the best customer service because that's 1548 01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:03,640 Speaker 1: what they specialize, gotcha. So those are all kind of 1549 01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:06,240 Speaker 1: the ways, but realistically, like where I work in the 1550 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,600 Speaker 1: building I work in versus you know, here in the 1551 01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 1: studio versus my TV studio, completely different. I mean, you know, 1552 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,759 Speaker 1: just the way that things work in the different buildings 1553 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,360 Speaker 1: that people work in. It could be the makeup of 1554 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,840 Speaker 1: the building, it could be your house. It's really really 1555 01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,559 Speaker 1: unique to kind of like where you go the most. 1556 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 6: And is there any kind of test to just make 1557 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,599 Speaker 6: sure that there's nothing wrong with my phone for things 1558 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:32,880 Speaker 6: like dropping connections or. 1559 01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,720 Speaker 1: You could do you have an Apple store in Portland? Yeah, 1560 01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:38,479 Speaker 1: I would take it there and ask them. I don't 1561 01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,720 Speaker 1: think there's a problem and the only think. So you know, now, 1562 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,440 Speaker 1: I will say this. I will say, in my experience, 1563 01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,840 Speaker 1: the Samsung devices have a they pull in a much 1564 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 1: stronger signal than the Apple devices. I don't know why 1565 01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,360 Speaker 1: that is, but that's just what I've noticed, because I 1566 01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 1: can be in my driveway at my house and my 1567 01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:01,320 Speaker 1: Samsung works perfectly and the Apple does not work as well. Yeah, 1568 01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 1: and I've noticed in different places where the signal is 1569 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,519 Speaker 1: kind of on the fringe, the Samsung does pull in 1570 01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:08,600 Speaker 1: a better signal a lot of the time. So but 1571 01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,400 Speaker 1: with that said, I mean many many people use iPhones 1572 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:13,840 Speaker 1: and believe me, throwing it a signal that's just fine. 1573 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:16,160 Speaker 1: But I would take it to the Apple store see 1574 01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,040 Speaker 1: if you can get a diagnostic run on it and 1575 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:19,759 Speaker 1: just say, hey, look, you know, I'm having some trouble. 1576 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:20,800 Speaker 2: And we had a. 1577 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 1: Caller earlier in the show and there was something that 1578 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,160 Speaker 1: I mentioned to them. You can do a network settings. 1579 01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,839 Speaker 2: Reset, so I was afraid. 1580 01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, it's it's really not that big 1581 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,640 Speaker 1: of a deal. It's it's just resetting everything. It's just 1582 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,280 Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, making sure everything's kind of 1583 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 1: factory reset, and then it starts over. If you want 1584 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 1: you can try that on your own gym and see 1585 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:46,320 Speaker 1: if that helps. Good question. Got to have good cellular service. 1586 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,679 Speaker 1: That is what we live and die by these days. 1587 01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,599 Speaker 1: So make sure you've got good service where you are. 1588 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,600 Speaker 1: Check that signal, Ask friends do those speed tests. You 1589 01:23:55,760 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 1: are listening to Rich on tech. Welcome back to rich Tech. 1590 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:04,680 Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology. So 1591 01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 1: I just wanted to continue on the cell phone signals 1592 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:10,599 Speaker 1: because I know this's a big deal for a lot 1593 01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,160 Speaker 1: of people. They want to know what's best in their area. 1594 01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:14,760 Speaker 1: And I mentioned a few things off the top of 1595 01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,160 Speaker 1: my head, but I did some more research in the 1596 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,479 Speaker 1: break and found the things that I wanted to mention, 1597 01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 1: and so I'll go over those real quick, just so 1598 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:25,200 Speaker 1: you have them. And I think these are pretty handy resources. 1599 01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:30,720 Speaker 1: So the first is root Metricsroot Metrics, and they do 1600 01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,559 Speaker 1: what's called a root score report, and so I looked 1601 01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,280 Speaker 1: up Portland, Oregon, which is where our caller was from, 1602 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:40,400 Speaker 1: and it does rank the three networks based on how 1603 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,640 Speaker 1: good they are overall. But then it also tells you 1604 01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:48,520 Speaker 1: overall performance, network reliability, accessibility, the speed, data performance, call performance, 1605 01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:54,559 Speaker 1: text performance, and video performance. And I think actually it's interesting. 1606 01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 1: The carrier that he mentioned he was having problems with 1607 01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 1: the video performance is not good according to this. So 1608 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,439 Speaker 1: that's one of them root metrics, let's see. The other 1609 01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 1: one is FCC National Broadband Map. I mentioned FCC had 1610 01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 1: gotten rid of their old map down they have a 1611 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 1: new one so you can actually type in your address 1612 01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:18,760 Speaker 1: and it will tell you what signal other people have 1613 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,120 Speaker 1: found there and which one is the best. So if 1614 01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 1: I type in an address here, let's see, it will 1615 01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,160 Speaker 1: come up with that address and then you can actually 1616 01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:32,599 Speaker 1: see what the what other people have come up with 1617 01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,160 Speaker 1: with their tests. And they just come out with the 1618 01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,679 Speaker 1: new app as well to help you test your signal 1619 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,960 Speaker 1: in different places, whether it's fixed broadband or mobile broadband. 1620 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,200 Speaker 1: But that's another way of doing it, and it even 1621 01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:48,559 Speaker 1: says environment. You can choose from outdoor, indoor, in the vehicle. 1622 01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:52,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's really pretty thorough. So again that's broadbandmap 1623 01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 1: dot FCC dot gov. Open Signal is also another one 1624 01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,639 Speaker 1: of these companies that a lot of the big companies 1625 01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:03,000 Speaker 1: kind of you know, they get the information from them, 1626 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:05,759 Speaker 1: so they hire them to come up with the data. 1627 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,880 Speaker 1: But you can download their app on Google Play or 1628 01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 1: on the app store and you can check the signal 1629 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,080 Speaker 1: in your area as well coverage information. So that is 1630 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 1: open Signal and you can download that app on iOS 1631 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:22,800 Speaker 1: or Android again Open Signal. And then finally the other 1632 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:27,920 Speaker 1: one is a CoverageMap dot com, so CoverageMap dot com. 1633 01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,640 Speaker 1: I don't know where they get their information from. It 1634 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:36,160 Speaker 1: may be crowdsourced. But again you can type in information 1635 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 1: or a street address in here. I'm just typing in 1636 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 1: one real quick. Let me just get this in here 1637 01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:45,200 Speaker 1: and so you can see what the let's see, how 1638 01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:46,759 Speaker 1: do you do zip code? 1639 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:49,680 Speaker 2: Do you know how tough it is to type all 1640 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,479 Speaker 2: you're talking on the radio. It's not easy. 1641 01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,040 Speaker 1: Okay, Yes, you type in the zip code and then 1642 01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 1: it will tell you about the coverage in that zip code, 1643 01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:01,080 Speaker 1: and again it gives it from you know, the coverage data, 1644 01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,960 Speaker 1: speeds and reliability, and you can also check the coverage 1645 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:06,920 Speaker 1: as well. Oh yeah, crowdsourced speed test map and also 1646 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 1: signal strength data from the FCC. So again a couple 1647 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:14,320 Speaker 1: great resources there. Jim in Portland, thanks for the question. 1648 01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,439 Speaker 1: I will put this all on the website. Rich on 1649 01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 1: tech dot tv. Hit the light bulb and then you 1650 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,240 Speaker 1: should find the information there. 1651 01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:22,679 Speaker 2: So this was an. 1652 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:26,560 Speaker 1: Interesting story this week. The cybersecurity firm that trains employees 1653 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,120 Speaker 1: on how not to fall for phishing scams, well they 1654 01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 1: fell for their own scam. The company is no before. 1655 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 1: We've actually had guests on this show from this company. 1656 01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:36,800 Speaker 1: They're not a bad company, it's just they fell for 1657 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,719 Speaker 1: a trick like a lot of people do. They hired 1658 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,160 Speaker 1: a remote software engineer who turned out to be a 1659 01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:46,720 Speaker 1: North Korean hacker. He used to stolen US identity and 1660 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:51,920 Speaker 1: an ai an ai image that he generated of himself. 1661 01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:53,479 Speaker 1: And the way they figure this out was when they 1662 01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:57,559 Speaker 1: shipped them the company issued laptop. He started downloading malicious 1663 01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,960 Speaker 1: software on the laptop and they're like, wait a second, 1664 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:04,599 Speaker 1: something's not right here. So they're lesson learned is if 1665 01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:07,880 Speaker 1: you're a company and you're hiring remote employees, you better 1666 01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,839 Speaker 1: be careful because people can fake a lot of information 1667 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:12,880 Speaker 1: these days. And so you don't want to be taken 1668 01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,160 Speaker 1: in that because he didn't do any real damage, they said, 1669 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 1: but you know, could be bad if he gets in 1670 01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:22,840 Speaker 1: on a company. Open Ai unveiled a new gosh watch 1671 01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:27,160 Speaker 1: out Google. They've got search GPT, so they're applying what 1672 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,360 Speaker 1: they learned from open Ai with chat GBT, but now 1673 01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:33,479 Speaker 1: it's search. So this is a new AI search feature 1674 01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 1: being tested. It combines real time web information with their 1675 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:42,679 Speaker 1: AI models, so if you ask a question, you get 1676 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:46,360 Speaker 1: links to relevant resources, but you also get the answer 1677 01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:51,360 Speaker 1: as well. Really really interesting. Check this out search GPT. 1678 01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,559 Speaker 1: This is from the same folks who made chat GBT 1679 01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:59,519 Speaker 1: and it looks pretty slick. Now you can't get access. 1680 01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:02,519 Speaker 1: You have to join a wait list, but this this 1681 01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,559 Speaker 1: could be game changing if it works. Again, they've got 1682 01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,559 Speaker 1: that beta slapped on it, so it means if it 1683 01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 1: doesn't work, you know, hey, don't blame us. Rich On 1684 01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:15,120 Speaker 1: Tech dot tv is the website for links to anything 1685 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:16,120 Speaker 1: I mentioned here in. 1686 01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,120 Speaker 2: The news and notes. Coming up, we're gonna talk to 1687 01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:18,920 Speaker 2: Jefferson Graham. 1688 01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna tell you how to elevate your photos and 1689 01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:25,840 Speaker 1: videos taken on a smartphone. Welcome back to rich On Tech. 1690 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:33,960 Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here talking technology. Joining me now is Jefferson Graham. 1691 01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,479 Speaker 1: I think you take the award for being on the 1692 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,759 Speaker 1: show the most at this point. Jefferson Gram of Photo 1693 01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 1: Walks photowalkstv dot com is his website. It is a 1694 01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:48,960 Speaker 1: beautiful looking website. If I do say so myself. Jefferson, 1695 01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:54,280 Speaker 1: Uh oh, I don't hear you where there you are? 1696 01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:58,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, thanks to your inspiration, Rich because you were fiddling 1697 01:29:58,080 --> 01:29:59,840 Speaker 11: around with yours. You kept telling me about all these 1698 01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:01,559 Speaker 11: things he could do and I didn't know about them, 1699 01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,080 Speaker 11: so I decided to follow in your footsteps. 1700 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:04,720 Speaker 2: Well, I love it. 1701 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,200 Speaker 1: And Jefferson also does a newsletter as well, and every 1702 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:11,800 Speaker 1: week we are literally chatting on text about like what 1703 01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:13,840 Speaker 1: we're doing with the newsletter and how we can like 1704 01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:16,639 Speaker 1: hack things make them better, you know, just always trying 1705 01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:22,360 Speaker 1: to elevate it. So Jefferson Graham travels the world trying 1706 01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:26,040 Speaker 1: to take better pictures and videos on a smartphone, and 1707 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:27,800 Speaker 1: so he's got a lot of tips and tricks. But 1708 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:31,800 Speaker 1: this week you're talking about using third party apps. So 1709 01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,880 Speaker 1: kind of upping the ante by not just using what's 1710 01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:37,559 Speaker 1: built into the iPhone, the Pixel or the Samsung, but 1711 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:39,120 Speaker 1: by downloading a third party app. 1712 01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:40,160 Speaker 2: What's the advantage of that? 1713 01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:42,680 Speaker 11: Okay, So there's a bunch of apps that have come 1714 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 11: out recently. The video apps that are native on the Galaxy, 1715 01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:49,439 Speaker 11: iPhone and Pixel are wonderful. They're easy. You open them up, 1716 01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:52,120 Speaker 11: you compose your image, you click record, and that's it. 1717 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,400 Speaker 11: All good, but totally all automatic, and there's a few 1718 01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:58,920 Speaker 11: things that would be of interest to people. The three apps, 1719 01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:01,759 Speaker 11: by the way, are black Man Camera app, Final Cut 1720 01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:06,200 Speaker 11: Camera from Apple, and Keno. Those are the three. Final 1721 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:10,719 Speaker 11: Cut and black Magic are free, Keynote Keno is ten dollars. 1722 01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:14,000 Speaker 11: The three key things is if you go to the 1723 01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,559 Speaker 11: next level and you plug in a microphone, which is 1724 01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:19,000 Speaker 11: like really easy to do and a lot of people 1725 01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:21,640 Speaker 11: like to do it, you have no audiometers in the 1726 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:25,160 Speaker 11: native apps on the phone. So these apps, I'll give 1727 01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:27,439 Speaker 11: you audiometers and they let you know that you actually 1728 01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:29,760 Speaker 11: have sound. I don't know if you've ever done it, 1729 01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:31,960 Speaker 11: but I certainly have done an interview with somebody and 1730 01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:33,639 Speaker 11: at the end there was nothing there. 1731 01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:33,960 Speaker 6: Oh. 1732 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,120 Speaker 1: Of course, of course I've forgotten to turn on. You know, 1733 01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:40,439 Speaker 1: I've been doing TV for a long time. I've had 1734 01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:44,280 Speaker 1: every single problem you could ever imagine in your lifetime. 1735 01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 1: We've experienced it. But yes, the little levels are very 1736 01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:49,200 Speaker 1: very smart to have. 1737 01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:51,800 Speaker 11: So there's that one, and then there's recording to an 1738 01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:56,280 Speaker 11: SD card. Everybody. Okay, So this week's episode of Photo 1739 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:59,000 Speaker 11: Woks TV, I'm on a hot air balloon in Temecula 1740 01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:01,240 Speaker 11: and I was on with three other people and one 1741 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,759 Speaker 11: of the women I was on right before we stepped 1742 01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:05,559 Speaker 11: on the blue and she got a message saying you 1743 01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,280 Speaker 11: can't take any pictures because you're out of room. She 1744 01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,639 Speaker 11: had an old I phone with two hundred fifty six 1745 01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:14,080 Speaker 11: gigs and I said, you start the leading like Matt, 1746 01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,679 Speaker 11: start the leading like man. This is priceless up here. 1747 01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:20,800 Speaker 11: So on the black Magic app and the Final Cut 1748 01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:23,439 Speaker 11: app and Kenot you can record to an SD card 1749 01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:26,360 Speaker 11: and I'm sorry, you could record to an SD card 1750 01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 11: on the Keno and black Magic on Final Cut to 1751 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 11: an SSD drive which is one hundred dollars drive, which 1752 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:35,599 Speaker 11: is a lot larger. But the fact is you can 1753 01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:37,839 Speaker 11: do this which you can't do on the native apps, 1754 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,840 Speaker 11: and save yourself from a lot of potential paint. 1755 01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,880 Speaker 1: You reminded me that I downloaded that Keno app from 1756 01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:46,000 Speaker 1: the first day that it was available. I paid the 1757 01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:49,360 Speaker 1: ten dollars. It's actually from the guys who created that 1758 01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 1: Halied app. I think, yeah, which is like a really nice, 1759 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,120 Speaker 1: you know, pretty photo app, and this is kind of 1760 01:32:56,120 --> 01:33:00,400 Speaker 1: their version with video. My photographer Luis you've met, he 1761 01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:04,000 Speaker 1: actually uses some random app that he found on Google 1762 01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:07,760 Speaker 1: Play sorry, on the app Store that he uses to 1763 01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:10,559 Speaker 1: record all of our TV stories and I actually need 1764 01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:12,040 Speaker 1: to ping him to find out what the name is. 1765 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:12,880 Speaker 2: It's so random. 1766 01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,599 Speaker 1: It's just like something he found because he tested a bunch, 1767 01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:17,680 Speaker 1: but it kind of does the things he wants, so 1768 01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:20,240 Speaker 1: he likes them. So what do you find? What's the 1769 01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:23,160 Speaker 1: use case? Why would you know? I guess you know? 1770 01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:25,760 Speaker 1: Besides the meters? Do these things do? They take the 1771 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:30,160 Speaker 1: same quality video, but it could be better video because 1772 01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:31,880 Speaker 1: you can tweak it. You can change your lighting, you 1773 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:34,479 Speaker 1: can change your white balance, you could adjust things. 1774 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:35,679 Speaker 2: Time laps. 1775 01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:38,960 Speaker 11: I'm a time lapse freak. I love time laps, fast 1776 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:42,640 Speaker 11: moving videos, clouds flying through the skies, shadows going up 1777 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:45,080 Speaker 11: and down over buildings. If you do a time lapse 1778 01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:48,000 Speaker 11: in the Apple app, it's totally automatic. You can record 1779 01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,639 Speaker 11: for an hour, two hours, three hours, one day, two days, 1780 01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:53,400 Speaker 11: three days, doesn't matter. Your video will always be thirty 1781 01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:55,960 Speaker 11: seconds long because Apple doesn't want you to have a 1782 01:33:56,000 --> 01:34:00,200 Speaker 11: longer video than thirty seconds. So with the Black Badge app, 1783 01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,200 Speaker 11: you can adjust and record as long as you want 1784 01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:07,160 Speaker 11: to and get way better looking time laps videos. I 1785 01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:10,120 Speaker 11: also use a time laps video app called Relapse, which 1786 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:12,800 Speaker 11: is also terrific, but it'll cost you fifteen bucks. Black 1787 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:14,320 Speaker 11: Magic app is free, so. 1788 01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,400 Speaker 1: Black Magic for iPhone and Android if you want to 1789 01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:21,599 Speaker 1: kind of unlock some more features. Why are they giving 1790 01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:22,599 Speaker 1: this to us for free? 1791 01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:29,800 Speaker 11: Black Magic has an interesting business mode that they also 1792 01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:33,719 Speaker 11: have Da Vinci Da Vinci Resolved software, which is editing software, 1793 01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 11: and that's also free. I guess they just want to 1794 01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:38,400 Speaker 11: get you into the system and hopefully that one day 1795 01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:41,320 Speaker 11: you will buy a big camera from them. Is that 1796 01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:42,280 Speaker 11: a good segue for me? 1797 01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:43,920 Speaker 1: I was just going to say, wait a second, I 1798 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,040 Speaker 1: just looked at the link you sent me.

So I'm going to do a newsletter 1819 01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:46,360 Speaker 11: edition on Tuesday with editing tips. The big question you 1820 01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:49,240 Speaker 11: get it as well all summer long is should I 1821 01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:51,640 Speaker 11: hold onto my phone now or should I? Should I 1822 01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,439 Speaker 11: wait till September? And then when September comes is should 1823 01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:57,200 Speaker 11: I buy the new phone? And that seems to be 1824 01:35:57,240 --> 01:35:59,000 Speaker 11: the number one question. It used to be what kind 1825 01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:01,400 Speaker 11: of camera to buy? But that that has gone away. 1826 01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:03,599 Speaker 1: Well, so what's your answer for the cause? I get 1827 01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:05,240 Speaker 1: that a lot. You know, people say should I wait 1828 01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:07,800 Speaker 1: till the iPhone sixteen comes out? And it's like, well, 1829 01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but what do you think 1830 01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,120 Speaker 1: they're really going to change between the fifteen and the sixteen? 1831 01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:13,800 Speaker 2: The fifteen is pretty darn good. 1832 01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:18,400 Speaker 11: That's fine, but it's July twenty seventh today, and you 1833 01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:21,160 Speaker 11: close your eyes, you wake up, two months will have 1834 01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:26,040 Speaker 11: gone by, and they'll be the fastest, most powerful, finnest, 1835 01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:30,479 Speaker 11: et cetera iPhone that's ever been created. And there could 1836 01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,519 Speaker 11: be some features on there that you want, and even 1837 01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,000 Speaker 11: if you don't, the iPhone fifteen will be one hundred 1838 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:35,599 Speaker 11: dollars less. 1839 01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,160 Speaker 1: I always say, too, there's a there's like a ticking 1840 01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:41,320 Speaker 1: clock because it's like a countdown. So if you're going 1841 01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 1: to buy the phone, buy it on day one because 1842 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:46,120 Speaker 1: it's only it's only new for one year, three hundred 1843 01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:49,080 Speaker 1: and sixty five days, So why not get the most 1844 01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:51,840 Speaker 1: out of it? Like, if you're buying it today, you're talking, 1845 01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:53,679 Speaker 1: you know, you're only getting two months of newness. 1846 01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 11: I don't know, It's this weird thing I have in 1847 01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:57,519 Speaker 11: my head. I would definitely definitely hold on to it. 1848 01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,599 Speaker 11: The other question is your pictures are great? What app 1849 01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:03,240 Speaker 11: are you using to take the pictures with? And on 1850 01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:06,000 Speaker 11: that one, I'm using the native apps. The native apps 1851 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:11,719 Speaker 11: are fine. The Apple Camera app and the Samsung Camera 1852 01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:12,280 Speaker 11: app a great. 1853 01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:16,360 Speaker 1: Now, tell me between the iPhone, the Samsung and the Pixel, 1854 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,800 Speaker 1: what's your preference what do you think like the kind 1855 01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:22,880 Speaker 1: of the highs and lows of each ar iPhone. 1856 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,520 Speaker 11: For the first of all, I think the camera equality 1857 01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:29,360 Speaker 11: is great, and the whole system, the ecosystem Apple system. 1858 01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,320 Speaker 11: I'm talking to you on a MacBook and I do 1859 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:36,360 Speaker 11: air drop all day long, and when I transfer stuff 1860 01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:39,639 Speaker 11: from the Galaxy is just not as seamless. I really 1861 01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:41,760 Speaker 11: like the pixel, I really like it a lot. I 1862 01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,200 Speaker 11: like the ease of use of the pixel. But they 1863 01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:47,280 Speaker 11: do stuff to the pictures, they juice up the colors, 1864 01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:50,400 Speaker 11: and I'm not really a fan of that. And I 1865 01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:53,519 Speaker 11: don't see a lot of tools in there to make changes. 1866 01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:57,160 Speaker 11: But on the iPhone, I could. I can change things around, 1867 01:37:57,479 --> 01:37:59,240 Speaker 11: I could shoot and raw, I can shoot in you know, 1868 01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:01,720 Speaker 11: all sorts of things. So I am an iPhone free 1869 01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 11: have been since two thousand and seven when it first 1870 01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:05,920 Speaker 11: came out. 1871 01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 1: Now, what about the idea of taking a camera on 1872 01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:11,000 Speaker 1: a trip. A lot of people still think if they 1873 01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,400 Speaker 1: go on a big international trip, they need to take 1874 01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:17,439 Speaker 1: a big international camera. Is that still the case or 1875 01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:19,080 Speaker 1: can people get by with their smartphone. 1876 01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:24,000 Speaker 11: I have been in Japan, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mexico with 1877 01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:27,479 Speaker 11: just an iPhone and I did that on purpose, I 1878 01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:31,200 Speaker 11: really for my show because I'm doing everything on the iPhone. 1879 01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:34,000 Speaker 11: Did I miss having a big camera? No, I didn't. 1880 01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:36,280 Speaker 11: One place I want to have a big camera, But 1881 01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:38,920 Speaker 11: I didn't miss it because you wake up in the morning, 1882 01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,080 Speaker 11: you leave, you're out all day long. Who wants to 1883 01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:45,400 Speaker 11: carry around camera here? It's just a pain. And if 1884 01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:47,920 Speaker 11: you're in good light, which you're gonna be when you're 1885 01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:51,240 Speaker 11: out and about all day long traveling, you're in great 1886 01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:55,559 Speaker 11: shape with your smartphone.

They looked 1915 01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,880 Speaker 11: at it on you, but they turned me into Jason 1916 01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:25,759 Speaker 11: Bateman and all sorts of different actors. But I really 1917 01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:28,960 Speaker 11: like what you've been showing from the meta.

Rich DeMuro here closing 1933 01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:13,920 Speaker 1: out another show. If you can believe it, Episode eighty 1934 01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:19,080 Speaker 1: two of the rich On Tech Radio Show. Two stories 1935 01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:21,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention before we get to the feedbag. 1936 01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:26,479 Speaker 1: First off, a warning, this was really wild. CNBC tells 1937 01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:31,639 Speaker 1: the story of this software executive who wired four hundred 1938 01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:35,639 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to the wrong person while trying to buy 1939 01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,720 Speaker 1: a home. And the way this happened was basically, you know, 1940 01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:41,240 Speaker 1: when you're trying to buy a home, there's all these 1941 01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:44,440 Speaker 1: emails back and forth, and you're always wiring these payments 1942 01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:49,960 Speaker 1: for different things. Well, it turns out these cyber criminals 1943 01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:54,200 Speaker 1: intercept the email from let's say a title company or whoever, 1944 01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:57,519 Speaker 1: and then they write you back and say, Okay, here's 1945 01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,960 Speaker 1: all the information for the transfer. And you don't think 1946 01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:03,360 Speaker 1: anything of it because it looks like a legitimate email, 1947 01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:05,720 Speaker 1: but now you just transferred your life savings to some 1948 01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:09,519 Speaker 1: scam artist. Wire fraud in real estate has gone from 1949 01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:12,360 Speaker 1: nine million dollars in losses in twenty fifteen to four 1950 01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:15,720 Speaker 1: hundred and forty six million and twenty twenty two. The 1951 01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:18,560 Speaker 1: person that this happened to spent six months trying to 1952 01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:21,960 Speaker 1: recover these funds. They went to the FBI, they went 1953 01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:26,000 Speaker 1: to their bank, and it was only after CNBC questioned 1954 01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:29,559 Speaker 1: the bank Chase that they got all of their money back. 1955 01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,519 Speaker 1: But the main thing the banks say is to be 1956 01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:37,639 Speaker 1: wary of last minute changes to payment instructions and always, always, 1957 01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:40,960 Speaker 1: always verify wire recipients. So if you get an email 1958 01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:42,840 Speaker 1: you're in the middle of buying a house and they say, okay, 1959 01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:46,040 Speaker 1: time to wire this money, just call your contact and 1960 01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 1: make sure that the information is right. That is a 1961 01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:51,080 Speaker 1: scary one. I remember when we were buying the house. 1962 01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,519 Speaker 1: It seemed like every day we had to wire money 1963 01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:55,639 Speaker 1: to someone, and it was like, you know, a little 1964 01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:57,599 Speaker 1: bit here, a little bit there, title company this that, 1965 01:42:57,680 --> 01:42:59,720 Speaker 1: and like it's just a bunch of random things and 1966 01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:02,719 Speaker 1: you're just wiring this money out and so yeah, things 1967 01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:04,479 Speaker 1: can go wrong, and I see how scam artists can 1968 01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:07,680 Speaker 1: really capitalize on that. And I've been complaining about the 1969 01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:12,680 Speaker 1: Sonos app, and Soos CEO Patrick Spence has listened and 1970 01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:16,320 Speaker 1: wrote a blog post that says, yes, we know there 1971 01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:20,120 Speaker 1: are issues. They acknowledge not just me, but for everyone 1972 01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,160 Speaker 1: significant problems with the new app that they released on 1973 01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:26,920 Speaker 1: May seventh. Fixing the app is their top priority. They've 1974 01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:30,320 Speaker 1: been doing bi weekly software updates. They say a lot 1975 01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:32,760 Speaker 1: of customers have a better experience, but it's not over, 1976 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:36,680 Speaker 1: and they say that things should be improved by October. 1977 01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:41,160 Speaker 1: Still got three more months here. The one thing they 1978 01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,800 Speaker 1: mentioned that's been my biggest issue is the volume responsiveness. 1979 01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:46,719 Speaker 1: That should be fixed in the next two months two 1980 01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:50,040 Speaker 1: months to fix the volume button. I adjust the volume 1981 01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:52,840 Speaker 1: on my Sonos and it literally does not respond. It's 1982 01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:56,559 Speaker 1: so frustrating. Time for the feedback segment. This is your 1983 01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:59,519 Speaker 1: feedback plus the mail bag. These are the emails, the comments, 1984 01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:01,720 Speaker 1: and the question as I get from you, and believe me, 1985 01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:05,400 Speaker 1: you send me a lot. If you'd like to submit yours, 1986 01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:08,560 Speaker 1: go to rich on tech dot tv and hit contact. 1987 01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,200 Speaker 1: Laura from Silver Springs, Maryland writes in I have a 1988 01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:16,840 Speaker 1: bizarre experience with my computer. A large black spider kept 1989 01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:20,840 Speaker 1: crawling across my screen from the inside. Oh my gosh, 1990 01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,439 Speaker 1: that would scare the heck out of me. After that, 1991 01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:26,040 Speaker 1: the tech started randomly changing size. Now I get a 1992 01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:28,960 Speaker 1: page more unresponsive. My computer's already running slow. 1993 01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:29,559 Speaker 2: Now I'm worried. 1994 01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:32,000 Speaker 1: What could this spider have done to my computer? And 1995 01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:36,720 Speaker 1: is it gone? Is it gone? Am I dealing with 1996 01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:39,920 Speaker 1: a different kind of bug altogether? Laura, I don't know. 1997 01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:43,799 Speaker 1: I would burn that computer down, honestly, just blow torch it. Honestly, 1998 01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:47,800 Speaker 1: that's like spider inside your screen. I would literally run 1999 01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:51,080 Speaker 1: out of my house. I would run out. Jim writes 2000 01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:54,200 Speaker 1: in I heard your segment on cruise ship communication last weekend. 2001 01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:55,040 Speaker 2: Here's my approach. 2002 01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:57,880 Speaker 1: For short cruises with just a few c days, I 2003 01:44:58,000 --> 01:44:59,880 Speaker 1: keep my phone in airplane mode and I use this 2004 01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:03,760 Speaker 1: ship's Wi Fi for onboard communication. In foreign ports, I 2005 01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:07,840 Speaker 1: use t Mobiles International services. For longer cruises, I pay 2006 01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:10,280 Speaker 1: for the ship's Internet package, which allows me to use 2007 01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:14,160 Speaker 1: Wi Fi calling and messaging while at sea. This strategy 2008 01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:18,040 Speaker 1: has helped me stay connected without incurring excessive charges. Jim, 2009 01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,519 Speaker 1: I do think my time not being on a cruise 2010 01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:22,240 Speaker 1: is coming to an end because I think I need 2011 01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:24,080 Speaker 1: to see what it's like to connect on a cruise. 2012 01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:28,000 Speaker 1: Mark from Carlsbad says, I tried e SIMS from my 2013 01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:30,320 Speaker 1: family's trip to England after hearing your segment. 2014 01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:31,599 Speaker 2: The installation was easy. 2015 01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,639 Speaker 1: We saved over two hundred dollars in a week using 2016 01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:38,120 Speaker 1: WhatsApp for communication. However, I hit a snag when my 2017 01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:41,519 Speaker 1: credit card was frozen due to suspected fraud. I couldn't 2018 01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:45,320 Speaker 1: call the US using WhatsApp, and without Verizon's international calling 2019 01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:48,240 Speaker 1: I was stuck. I ended up adding their travel pass. Anyway, 2020 01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:51,360 Speaker 1: my advice, even when using eSIMs, have at least one 2021 01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:54,520 Speaker 1: person in your group keep an international plan for emergencies. 2022 01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:57,759 Speaker 1: The eSIM still saves money overall, but having a backup 2023 01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:01,160 Speaker 1: for voice calls can be a lifesaver. That is a 2024 01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:04,000 Speaker 1: great advice. That's what my wife and I did in Italy. 2025 01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:07,839 Speaker 1: I did the SIMS, she kept Verizon. It worked out perfectly. 2026 01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:10,800 Speaker 1: If you ever get in that situation again, have a 2027 01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:14,559 Speaker 1: Google Voice number. You can make calls over Google Voices 2028 01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:20,080 Speaker 1: Wi Fi, so that's easy there too. Carol from Orange 2029 01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:22,760 Speaker 1: County rights in I received a scam call related to 2030 01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:25,639 Speaker 1: my Spectrum service. The caller used a New Jersey number 2031 01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,240 Speaker 1: claimed I needed to contact them to keep my forty 2032 01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:32,479 Speaker 1: percent discount. Suspicious, I called Spectrum directly and confirmed it 2033 01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:34,600 Speaker 1: was indeed a scam, but they did inform me of 2034 01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:36,320 Speaker 1: a small price increase on my next bill. 2035 01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:37,800 Speaker 2: Oh how nice. 2036 01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:40,839 Speaker 1: I'm grateful for shows like yours that keep us informed 2037 01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:44,519 Speaker 1: about these scams and remind us to stay vigilant. It's 2038 01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:48,280 Speaker 1: scary how legitimate these attempts can sound. Absolutely, I'm glad 2039 01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:50,920 Speaker 1: you didn't fall for that one, Patricia says, Hey rich. 2040 01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:53,280 Speaker 1: With so many apps and items to subscribe to, I'm 2041 01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:56,080 Speaker 1: deeming this the year two power back for our family. 2042 01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:58,920 Speaker 1: I would never delete your newsletter.
