29
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: our cars are spying on us. This is a big

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: topic of conversation. This week. Mozilla Foundation came out with

31
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: a big report about all the different ways our cars

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: are watching everything we do. So Jen, we'll talk about that,

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: and then later in the show, Julian Vargas, mobile access

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: technology specialist will explain some of the latest ways that

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: tech is helping the blind and low vision users. We

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: got a lot lined up today. I'm back from Berlin.

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: As you might imagine, I tried the mobile passport at

38
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: the airport. I had to connect, thank you. I had

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: to connect at Newark and let me tell you the

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: line for the Okay, so I was very embarrassed. I

41
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: was walking off the plane with a bunch of colleagues

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: that were also at the show. I went to EFO Berlin,

43
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: and so we all took the flight from Berlin to Newark,

44
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: which you know I'm from New Jersey, so I have

45
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: a fond appreciation of all things Jersey, and Newark is

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: one of them. I've been to that airport many, many times,

47
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: but this time I had to go through the passport

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: control and so we're all getting off the plane. All

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: the people I'm with peeled off into the what's it

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: called Global what's it? Let's it's like TSA, but it's

51
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: like for Global Global Entry. And they all go there

52
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: and like, Rich, you don't have Global Entry. We thought

53
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: you traveled a lot. And I was so embarrassed. It

54
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: was like a total like diss like dude, what's your deal?

55
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, I never signed up for that.

56
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: So they all go through Global Entry. It takes them

57
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: about one second to exit the airport. I go in

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: this line that is absolutely massive, and I'm not kidding.

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: I had to change my flight twice while I was

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: in that line because I missed my flight twice because

61
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: of how long this line was. And my wife, of course,

62
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, she's on the text and I'm complaining to

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: her and she's like, well, just tell someone, And of

64
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: course I don't want to do that, because you know,

65
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: I know that I'm gonna be publicly shamed if I

66
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: try to say anything out loud. So sure enough, when

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: I get close enough to the person with the red

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: jacket on this says ask me for help, I say, hey,

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna miss my flight because of this line,

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: like I already had to change my flight twice. And

71
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: no joke, he says to me. He goes, everyone in

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: this line has a connection and everyone's missing their flight,

73
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: So you're you know, you're not special, buddy, And I

74
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: was like, wow, what a nice welcome back to the US.

75
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Long story short, I did make it on my flight.

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: It did take forever. It was fine. Thankfully Newark has

77
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of flights back to la like almost one

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: every hour. But I will tell you my pro tip.

79
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: So when I was changing my flight the first time,

80
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: because my flight was actually delayed the first time, so

81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: I had to I couldn't do it from the app

82
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: for some reason. So I called in and the person

83
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: changed the flight. It was just fine. But then at

84
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: the end before they hung up, I said, hey, real quick,

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: before you go, can I get anything because my flight

86
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: is delayed? Like can you give me like a credit

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: or something, or you know, some sort of whatever, and

88
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: she's like, oh, I can't, but you know, I'll submit

89
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: something for you and they'll let you know within the

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: next week. And I was like, okay, they kind of

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: like just passed me off, right. Well, sure enough, when

92
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: I landed, I had an email from the airline five

93
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: hundred dollars credit. Amazing. I was so happy, and I said,

94
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: you know what, all the a role of this day,

95
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: all the stuff. I tell you this not to brag

96
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: in the fact that I have five hundred dollars in

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: my travel bank, but I tell you this because next time,

98
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: just ask. Literally all I did was ask. I just

99
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: said the magic words at the end, Hey, is there

100
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: anything you can do for me? And it was literally

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: as she was hanging up the phone when I asked that,

102
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: so oh hold on and yes, sure, I'll put something

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: in for you. Five hundred dollars for just asking a

104
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: single question. So when in doubt, ask your airline what

105
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: they can do for you. I don't know if there's

106
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: like a law or a rule or any sort of

107
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: whatever they have to do, but they did it and

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: I was very happy. So anyway, that was nice. Let's see,

109
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: National Star Trek Day was happening. This week, so I

110
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: was participating. Paramount Plus sent me a little gift package

111
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: with like the main thing was blue vodka. It's like

112
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: a Now, if you're a Star Trek fan, you probably

113
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: know the vodka. It is like what they used on

114
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: the show, in the container they used on the show. Now,

115
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: I never watched Star Trek, so I thought that this

116
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: was a good entree. So last night, celebrating National Star

117
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: Trek Day, I turned on the first episode from nineteen

118
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: sixty six, fifty seven years old, and I gotta say

119
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: I was. I was taken, Like I was into it immediately.

120
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: It's futuristic, it's fun. It's stuff that like I kind

121
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: of like like little gadgets and the way they do things.

122
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: So I was digging it until we got to the

123
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: aliens that I don't want spoiler alert from fifty seven

124
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: years ago. I mean, come on, haven't watched it by now?

125
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean you still can. So that's the whole thing.

126
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: You could stream the whole series on Paramount Plus. And

127
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: so my kids were in the room, and you know,

128
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: it was fine, but at some point my little one,

129
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, this maybe when the guy the

130
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: alien's brain, like the veins as they were talking, started

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: like pulsating in his brain. I was like, all right,

132
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's a little bit too much, even though it

133
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: was very innocent. Anyway, So I will be watching more

134
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: of Star Trek. I'm sure. I'm sure there are some

135
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: of you that are Star Trek fans that are like, ray,

136
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: how are you just watching this for the first time. Well,

137
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: you know what happens. This is the gentle slide into

138
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the holidays and ultimately ces for me. The tech folks

156
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: it's fine. The new iPhones are always fun because they're new,

157
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: they're exciting, and Apple has done a good thing with

158
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: their ecosystem. September twentieth, then we've got Amazon. They are

159
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: going to do a special let's see, what do they

160
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: call it? A Device and Services event, And so that's

161
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: where I mean they throw out a ton of stuff.

162
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: We're talking new fire TVs, new echo speakers, new ring devices,

163
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: new euro devices. I mean, Amazon has a ton of brands.

164
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: So they'll be doing that on September twentieth, and they're

165
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: actually doing it from their new HQ two. Do you

166
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: remember the whole kind of like to do about this thing.

167
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: They were going to open it like outside of New

168
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: York and people literally like said no way, They protested,

169
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: we don't watch you here, and so they went to

170
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Virginia and I guess they opened. They're opening HQ two there,

171
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: so they're going to do that event from there. Then

172
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: you've got Let's See Microsoft on September twenty first, and

173
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: Microsoft is expected to unveil Let's See a special event

174
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: on September twenty first in New York City, likely to

175
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: announces new surface hardware, including the Go four, the laptop

176
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: Studio four, and the Laptop Go three. I don't know

177
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: what's happening with that little Surface duo thing. Remember that

178
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: little phone they had that was kind of a foldy, flippy,

179
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: openee thing. I don't know if they're coming out with

180
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: the third edition of that, but that may be a surprise.

181
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: But Microsoft always has a lot of surface People love

182
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: the surface stuff, So that's happening. Then on September twenty seventh,

183
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: Facebook Metaconnect. This is where they show off all of

184
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: their VR stuff, and I think there's gonna be a

185
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: little bit more of a emphasis on this one because

186
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: of what Apple's doing with their VR. So you've got

187
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: that happening up in San Francisco Menlo Park on September

188
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventh. Then we pingpong back over to New York City.

189
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Google October fourth, releasing the new Pixel eight phones and

190
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Google's really weird. They put their stuff out there before

191
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 1: they even launch it. So if you go to the

192
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: Google like Pixel website, they already have pictures of the

193
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Pixel eight in, the Pixel eight Pro and the new Watch.

194
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: Why do they do that, I don't know. I guess

195
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: they just figure, you know what, let's just be a

196
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: little bit different. Then we've got one plus expected to

197
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: do something with their one plus fold I think it's

198
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: called the one plus Open. That's another foldable phone. Obviously

199
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of emphasis on foldables

200
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: these days. I've been using the Google Pixel Foldable and

201
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: it's been quite fun to use, and I like that

202
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: it's different than the phone that everyone else has. I

203
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: mean everyone's got a Samsung or an iPhone. So when

204
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: I have something different, it's like I hope that people

205
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: take notice, but nobody really cares. I'll be honest. I've

206
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: been carrying different phones around for ten years now, and

207
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: I always like kind of make a big deal to

208
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: open them in front of people. And like I was

209
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: using the iPhone like a week before and when had it,

210
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: nobody cared. I like had at my son's baseball game.

211
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: I like it had the always on display. I put

212
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: it on the bleachers, hoping someone would be like, WHOA,

213
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: what's that? No one cared. Then you've got the Code

214
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: conference in late September, which, by the way, I got

215
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: an invite to for the first time ever. I've been

216
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: wanting an invite to this forever and they finally invited me.

217
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Invite me? Is that a word? Invited me? And uh,

218
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see if I can go to that.

219
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: And then finally after the holiday CS a little bit

220
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: later this year January ninth through twelfth. So anyway, that's

221
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: what's on my calendar. How about yours. That's what's happening

222
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: with me. So needless to say, I've got a lot

223
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: of stuff happening in the next couple of months and

224

00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,600

00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: Hey, rich morning, Hey, good morning.

245
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: So, uh it might be a simple thing, but so

246
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: on my iPhone, how do I change the iPhone name

247
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 3: on the.

248
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: For the.

249
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: Baby? So when I go to Seddy, my name chills on.

250
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: But when it's goes down to the bottom with my

251
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: iPhone has a different name, So how can I change that?

252
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: Ah? Okay, so the name of your I phone is

253
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: not what you want? What does it say?

254
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: So it's it's the name out a want?

255
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: Okay, got it? So here's the deal. A lot of

256
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: people when they set up their phone, the name carries

257
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: over from the old days, like their old phone or

258
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: something they set up a long time ago, or just

259
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: as iPhone, or if it just says iPhone, you know, eleven,

260
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: whatever time you decided to like set it up. So

261
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: I just had this someone emailed me this question the

262
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: other day, and I have a fun little tip for

263
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: you as well. But it's very simple to do, and

264
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of people do not do this. But

265
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: I highly recommend you customize the name of your iPhone.

266
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: Why because it helps you identify your phone in a

267
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: variety of ways. If it just says iPhone twelve or

268
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: iPhone fourteen or you know whatever, that's not very helpful

269
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: when you're trying to do air drop or you're trying

270
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: to identify your phone on find my. So take a

271
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: minute to identify your phone and set up the name properly.

272
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: Here's how you do it. Okay, you go into settings

273
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: on your phone, you go into general and then you

274
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: tap about and then right at the top it says name.

275
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: And I've got mine named Rich's iPhone fourteen pro. And

276
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: here is the pro tip. Well, two tips on this line. Okay,

277
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: Number one, you probably do not want to use a

278
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: lot of personal information, so I probably would not use

279
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: my last name here. Name is probably fine, like Jim's

280
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: iPhone whatever, But if you want to be slicker about it,

281
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: maybe consider not using your name and maybe using something

282
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: that you can identify but others cannot. Because if you're

283
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: in a crowded room or a place or your work

284
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: and you have your air drop on, maybe you don't

285
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: want people knowing that your phone is nearby. Maybe you

286
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: just don't want them knowing that you're nearby. Whatever. But

287
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: the other pro tip is that you could actually add

288
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: an emoji to your name, which I didn't realize until

289
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: someone asked me if they could, and I was like,

290
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, let me try it out, And sure enough,

291
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: I added a little I don't know what the emoji's called,

292
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: but it's that little smiley face with like the magnet

293
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: the monocle over the eye. I don't know why. It's

294
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: like you're kind of looking at something a little bit

295
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: more in depth, and so I kind of like that one.

296
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: So anyway, you can add that to there. Once you

297
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: add that name, it will propagate throughout find mine and

298
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: all the different places that your iPhone has its name,

299
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: and so again it's probably good to do that, especially

300
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: when the new iPhone is coming out. If you're upgrading

301
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: to the new iPhone, maybe go in and instead of

302
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: it saying you know, Rich's you know new iPhone or

303
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Rich's iPhone fourteen Pro, it'll now say you know, Rich's

304
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: iPhone fifteen or whatever. Now when it comes to my Kindle,

305
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: same thing, you might want to rename your Kindle.

306
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: Now.

307
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I've installed the Kindle

308
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: app on so many different devices, on my Android phones

309
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: that I test and the iPhones that I test. That Literally,

310
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: when I install an Android app and I go to

311
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: send a Kindle book, it says Rich is like forty

312
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: fifth Kindle or something like that. It's just like it's embarrassing,

313
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: and again I can't tell, like what does that mean?

314
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: Is that my iPhone is at the Android So you

315
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: can also go in and change the name of your Kindle.

316
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: So to do that, go to your Kindle device and

317
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, go to the menu, click the three dots,

318
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: go into settings and then your account and then it

319
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: says device name, and so you can change the Kindle

320
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: device name there. You can also do it on the website.

321
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: So if you go to the Amazon just search like

322
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: Amazon Manager Devices and there should be a Kindle account section,

323
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: and then you go to the Kindle that you want

324
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: to change the name for and you can rename. So

325
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: if your Kindle has a name that you don't like,

326
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: because maybe you've upgraded your Kindle over the years and

327
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: it has an old name, you can rename that as well.

328
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: So I'm a big fan. You know what, while I'm here,

329
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: I might as well just tell you how to rename

330
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: your Android phone too. Right, So on Android, you go

331
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: into your settings. And it's been a while since I

332
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: do this, but I think you do it in Bluetooth.

333
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: So go to settings and oh gosh, I need to

334
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: find I shouldn't have said this before I knew. Okay,

335
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: So you go into Settings and then Bluetooth Connections and

336
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: then Bluetooth Advanced Settings. Oh gosh, I shouldn't have done

337
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: this because now I got to I can't really Okay, well,

338
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: I should have probably looked at how to do that

339
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: before I tried to do it on live radio, So

340
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: I will. I will figure it out on the Android.

341
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: But I believe it's in the Bluetooth settings and the

342
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: same thing happens where you need to you know, if

343
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to connect your phone to your car, it

344
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: comes up with this random name, so rename it. I'll

345
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: tell you how to do it, all right. Coming up,

346
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to Kim Gullick, head of Live Sports

347
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: at Uber, to explain how Uber Eats is now at stadiums.

348
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich

349
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking

350
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: technology at Triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight

351
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two, four to one zero one.

352
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: Before the break, we got a question about changing the

353
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: name on your phone and I couldn't find it fast

354
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: enough on the Android, but I found it. I'm telling

355
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: you just do this, just take a second. Do this,

356
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 1: all right. You go into your settings. Okay, and if

357
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: you don't know how to get into settings, you kind

358
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: of pull down on the top of the screen. Look

359
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: for that little gear icon. You go to about phone

360
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: and then you see where it says the name of

361
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: your phone. You can press edit and there's your phone

362
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: name and it says this will be shown on other

363
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: devices when your phone is available using Bluetooth, Wi Fi

364
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: Direct and other methods. So basically anytime someone's trying to

365
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: identify your phone, and that's pretty much the same way

366
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: on the pixel on Samsung. For a while, I had

367
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: my phone named rich'siphone dot exe and that's I know,

368
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: that's kind of like an old school thing, but I

369
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: just thought it was funny because like, the last thing

370
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: you want is like an executable on when you're trying

371
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: to share something, it just looks really scary, and so

372
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty you know, it's tech humor,

373
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: you know what. That's that's who I am, all right.

374
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: Joining me now is so Uber uber Eats is now

375
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: available at stadiums nationwide. So joining me now to explain

376
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: what this is all about. Kim Gullick, head of Uber

377
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: Live in Sports. Kim, welcome to the show.

378
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 5: Thanks, it's nice to be.

379
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: Here, all right, So let's talk about Uber eats. It's everywhere, obviously,

380
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: but now it is inside stadiums, and there was when

381
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned this on KTLA someone said, wait a second,

382
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: I got to exit the stadium to get my food.

383
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, no, it doesn't work that way.

384
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: So explain what this new partnership is all about sure.

385
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 5: So currently we are at Sofi Stadium and this is

386
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 5: our first NFL stadium that we're launching the technology and

387
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 5: we're thrilled to help fans quickly get a bite of

388
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 5: their favorite gave Damiolk. We are currently at twenty five

389
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 5: other locations throughout the globe and we're continuing to grow that.

390
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 5: So basically, all you have to do is, when you're

391
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 5: in the stadium, you open the Uber eat app and

392
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 5: if you text whether the user is a a partner venue,

393
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: so then they get a welcome screen and let them

394
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 5: know that they're available to order food for pickups at

395
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 5: one of the Uber Eats locations. Then all you have

396
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 5: to do is select your location where you're in the stadium.

397
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 5: You're going to be able to see all of those

398
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: locations that are available to you from the closest locations

399
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 5: that you selected. You just take a look at the menu,

400
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 5: select your favorite, place your order, and then once you

401
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 5: place your order, you're going to get a notification confirming

402
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 5: that your order is placed, and then another one that

403
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 5: says your order is ready, And just like that, you

404
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 5: head over to the Uber Eats brand of designated pickup planes,

405
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 5: you skip the lines, grab your food and drink. It's

406
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: super simple, convenient, and allows you to get back to

407
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 5: that game so you don't miss a moment of the action.

408
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: So so Far is the first stadium that you're doing

409
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: this at, or are you're doing it at multiple stadiums.

410
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: So FI is our.

411
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: First NFL stadium. We are currently at twenty five locations

412
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: throughout the globe we do. Yeah, so this is just

413
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 5: our first NFL data that we have been around since

414
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one.

415
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, And so what is sort of the

416
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: advantage I mean, is it cutting the lines? Is it

417
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: just I mean, I like the idea that I can

418
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: kind of you know, whenever I get to I was

419
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: just at so Far for the Taylor Swift concert, and

420
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: of course, like you want to walk around to see

421
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: what's available to you, right, and then by the time

422
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: you walk around, you've done all this legwork You're like, oh,

423
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: never mind, I want that place that was right by

424
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: my seat. So is this more? Is this just kind

425
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: of helpful to like see what's available to you where

426
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: you are.

427
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 6: Yeah.

428
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 5: So what you can do is, once you open the app,

429
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 5: you can take a look at what locations we have.

430
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: Currently we're opening twenty five stands throughout Sofi Stadium, So

431
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 5: whatever level you're on, there'll be a choice for you

432
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 5: to be able to order pick up. There's a variety

433
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 5: of food selections. You open the app, it will show

434
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 5: you the menu that's available. And so you could just

435
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 5: be sitting at your seat, go ahead and place your order.

436
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 5: It's going to tell you when it's ready, and then

437
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 5: you just go and pick it up, so you don't

438
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 5: have to wait in those really long lines. I mean,

439
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 5: it's such a bummer sometimes you see you know you're

440
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 5: in these long lines, You've have kids or whatever, it's

441
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 5: just it's you just don't don't want to be hanging out.

442
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 5: So this is just a really a game changer for

443
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: us and makes it really convenient for the fans.

444
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: So what about pricing, and I mean I assume there's

445
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: a similar Is it that the pricing is similar? Are

446
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: there extra fees? And also anyway with if you have

447
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: like uber one, does that make a difference, Yes, it does.

448
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 5: So with with there are no delivery fees, there are

449
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 5: in some of our stadiums, there are small convenience fees

450
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 5: that are added. And yes, if you're an Uber eat

451
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 5: or excuse me, an Uber one member, you will you

452
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 5: will get that discount as well as long as you

453
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 5: make that minimum threshold.

454
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: And what about delivery? So you know when people think

455
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: Uber Eats, they think delivery. So is that part of

456
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: the plan down the line? Is that? I mean, I

457
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: know some stadiums do delivery and already, so is that

458
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: part of the plan or what?

459
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 6: Yeah?

460
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 5: So, actually that's a great question. We are at Yankee Stadium.

461
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 5: We have in seat delivery as well as we just

462
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 5: launch Oracle Park in seat delivery, so we know that's

463
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 5: something that the fans really want. So with our partnership

464
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 5: with SOFI, we will be looking at that for the

465
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 5: future for sure.

466
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: Wow. All right, and how about the food selection? Is it?

467
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: Is it pretty wide ranging? How many places are you

468
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: working with inside the stadium?

469
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 5: Currently we're at twenty five locations. It's a variety of food.

470
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 5: We make sure that you can get those options that

471
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 5: you get as if you were walking up. So again,

472
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 5: twenty five locations we're current. We will you know over

473
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 5: the season we will expand that to more. But yes,

474
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 5: there's anything that you want, you can get that through

475
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 5: Uber Eats.

476
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: Oh what about alcohol.

477
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 5: Alcohol, Yes, you can order that as well.

478
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, yeah.

479
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, so food and drinks, and even at some of

480
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 5: our other locations you can order some merchandise as well.

481
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 5: So that's coming hopefully to Sofi Stadium, but currently it's.

482
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 6: Just food and drink.

483
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Okay. So this is happening the mobile ordering at Sofi

484
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: Stadium in La for the La Chargers home opener game,

485
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: which is this weekend. So if you're there, try it out.

486
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: Open up the uber etz app on your phone and

487
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: see what happens. So it's gonna find, it's gonna know

488
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: that you're there. It's gonna say, hey, we see you're

489
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: at Sofi that is correct you.

490
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 5: We'll get a welcome screen saying welcome to Sofi Stadium,

491
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 5: and then you just select your location and off you're

492
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 5: ready to select your food and drinks from there.

493
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: All right. Kim Gullick, head of Uber Live in Sports

494
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: and Uber, thanks so much for joining me today. I

495
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: appreciate it.

496
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. Have a great day.

497
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 7: Now.

498
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: You've made me hungry. Uh yeah, what did I have

499
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: when I was there? I think I got nachos both

500
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: times that I was there. I don't know why. Nachos

501
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: just seems to fit when you're at a stadium, right,

502
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: nachos and you know some some adult beverages perhaps. Okay,

503
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: So I got so many emails about this, I need

504
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: to address it everyone pretty much. If you have a

505
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: Facebook account, you got this email from Facebook. This says

506
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: important update on your saved payment information and it says, hey,

507
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: your saved payment information will move to account Center's Accounts

508
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: Center in the next few weeks. This change will make

509
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: it easier for you to securely manage your payment information

510
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: in one place, as well as shop and donate across

511
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Facebook and Instagram. And of course, because payment information was

512
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: in the email, not your payment but you know the

513
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: fact that it mentioned this, people thought it was a scam.

514
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: People were surprised to know that Facebook might even have

515
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: their payment information, and they were just wondering, like, what

516
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: is this all about? So let me explain. So, Facebook

517
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: is basically merging the payment information that you have, either

518
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: you saved it on Facebook or Instagram. So they're taking

519
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: that information and they're putting it in one place, this

520
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: new account center. And so if you want to go

521
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: and see if you have now they're giving you an

522
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: opportunity basically to delete this information before they share it

523
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: across their different platforms, because both of these are owned

524
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: by Meta and So. And I think Metaquest is also

525
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: part of this because when I went to the account center,

526
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: it had my Metaquest in there as well. So it's

527
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, they're just consolidating because it's

528
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: one company. They want to just kind of make things

529
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: easier for everyone. If you have a credit card saved

530
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: in one place, or a debit card, it's just going

531
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: to work for everything. And the whole point of this

532
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: is obviously a bigger point that if you do something

533
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: on Facebook, Let's say you donate to a cause, and

534
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you're on Instagram watching a

535
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: live stream and you want to give that person a

536
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: badge or a super thanks or whatever they call it,

537
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, to give them some cash or you want

538
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: to subscribe. You'll be like, oh, my credit card's already

539
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: in there. That makes life so much easier. And so

540
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: that's the whole point is basically to get you to

541
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: spend more eventually. So I explained this on my Instagram.

542
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: If you want to check out where it is at,

543
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: richon Tech is my Instagram. So you can go into

544
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: Instagram and open up your profile and look at your

545
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: payment methods there. You can also go into Facebook, open

546
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: up your settings and see your payment methods there. And

547
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: if you want to remove the card that you have saved,

548
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: if you even have one saved, you can easily do

549
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: that from both of these places. But if you don't,

550
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: eventually these cards will make their way into this new

551
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: account center. I also explain how you can find that online.

552
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: You basically go to Accountscenter dot Facebook dot com and

553
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: that will show you all of your connected information with meta.

554
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: So again, the save payment information email is legitimate, nothing

555
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: to really be alarmed about. They're not going to charge

556
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: your card for anything. They're not, you know, if you

557
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: put in your card. Basically they're saying, look, we have

558
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: this info and we're gonna start sharing it across all

559
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: of our different products. So do as you like with that,

560
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: all right? Triple eight rich one oh one eight eight

561

581
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 8: get to go in a couple of days and stay

582
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 8: home most of the other days.

583
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: Good for you.

584
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 8: I know, I can't even say enough.

585
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: You know, it makes a big difference, makes a big difference.

586
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 6: Weird.

587
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: I was just talking about that my wife. I said,

588
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's just even one day working from home

589
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: is just like for mental and physical well being, so

590
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: great anyway, So great.

591
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 8: I work more at home. It's so funny, but it's

592
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 8: a good thing. Yeah, so okay, So here's the deal.

593
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 8: I noticed that when I bring my computer home and

594
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 8: when I'm doing my same work that I do at

595
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 8: the office, my computers slower. I've had my router check

596
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 8: my internet check. I am close enough to the router.

597
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 8: I've had a refurversed computer which is running excellent. At work.

598
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 8: I'm taking it very personal. And so I noticed that

599
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 8: when I'm doing my keyboard, mainly just entering keys, I

600
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 8: noticed that this stall happens. It just starts stalling. And

601
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 8: I'm like, wow, if I got a new keyboard, same thing.

602
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 8: If there's no pattern of time, it just happens. And

603
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 8: there's one thing I have that replaced and I didn't

604
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 8: know if it mattered. It's all accords that go to

605
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 8: my computers to my from my computer to everything else

606
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 8: that you know. I just never replaced him. Since I've

607
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 8: been working at home, it's been about three years.

608
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: Is this the same computer you're using at home and

609
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: work or is it a different computer? Same so, same computer,

610
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: and when you're at work it works fine. When you're

611
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: at home, it's slow, it.

612
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 8: Bugs, it bugs and I related to my keyboards obviously, well,

613
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 8: because I'm typing and all of a sudden the little

614
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 8: spinner comes up, or a program one of four will

615
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 8: just crash. I'll just restart it, no problem. But it

616
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 8: never happens at work. And I know work is probably

617
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 8: really set up for like pro status.

618
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: But wow, I mean, you know, it doesn't take much

619
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: to run a computer, you know, with Wi Fi. So

620
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: are you on? Are you on the same type of

621
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: connection at each place?

622
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 8: No, of course not, because you know, at businesses I

623
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 8: believe at least are I don't know who their provider is,

624
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 8: but it's like probably some phenomenal one. Okay, a couple

625
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 8: of kinds of working a day.

626
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: Are you on? I okay? So I yeah, I imagine

627
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: the speed is probably slightly different. But are you on

628
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: the same type of connection, whether it's Wi Fi or

629
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: whether it's Ethernet, like, is it wired? It's the Internet?

630
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 8: Now that yes, I believe we are. Now that's a

631
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 8: good question. Thank you for saying that. I've been told

632
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 8: we are.

633
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: So you're on Wi Fi at home and Wi Fi

634
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: at work?

635
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 8: Yes?

636
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Okay? How far is your computer from the router?

637
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 8: Ten feet?

638
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: Okay?

639
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 8: That's super close.

640
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is close. It Actually you'd be surprised. Sometimes

641
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: it's weird. The closer you are sometimes to the why

642
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: the Wi Fi source, the weirder your your devices can

643
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: act sometimes, So a couple things maybe, uh, you know,

644
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: and ten feet is actually pretty far, So I think

645
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: you'd be okay there. I think you know you can now.

646
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: It's weird that it's just happening at your house. That's

647
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: the weird thing. And I would say that it would

648
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: be your your connection. But here's I'd like you to do.

649
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: So I think a couple things, just for maintenance reasons,

650
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: just to see what's happening here. There could be some

651
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: sort of program that's running on your computer that's trying

652
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: to like phone home that only works at your work,

653
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: that does not work at your home, like some sort

654
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: of program that your your work requires. That maybe it's

655
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: just not connecting to the service that you know, and

656
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: that's what's causing your computer to act a little wonky.

657
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: So what I would do personally is, first off, I

658
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: would just check my connection. So at work, next time

659
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: you're there, go to the website fast dot com and

660
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: do a speed test, or you can go to uh

661
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: I believe it's speed test. Let's see, I don't want

662
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: to say the wrong thing. Speed test dot net and

663
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: check your network and just see how fast it is

664
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: and compare home and work. If your home is significantly slower,

665
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: that could be causing some of the issues, like if

666
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: you're like at one, two, three, four, five megabits per second,

667
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: but if you're anything over ten, you're probably gonna be fine.

668
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: That's the first thing I do. The second thing I

669
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: would do is I would install any program that you

670
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: don't recognize or need on your computer. And I would

671
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: also look at the programs that run on your computer

672
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: when you first started up. So those are the login programs,

673
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: so you can look in the Windows settings to find

674
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: those things. Otherwise, you might just want to run some

675
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: diagnostics on your computer. And a popular program to do

676
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 1: that is cee Cleaner. Ce Cleaner is the app, and

677
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: you can download that for free. It'll have limited unless

678
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: you pay, but it does a decent amount of stuff

679
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: for the limited price or the limited a price of free,

680
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: I should say. And so you can do that if

681
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: you feel like, you know, maybe that'll find something that's

682
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: causing it. But it's kind of odd, I mean It

683
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't be It shouldn't be happening. Your computer should work

684
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: pretty much the same way. Now, if you told me

685
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: you were downloading files on Dropbox and they were coming

686
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: through faster at work and not as fast at home,

687
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: I would understand that because your work probably has a

688
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: better Internet connection. But with a laggy keyboard, that's a

689
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: weird thing. And I just don't really know why that

690
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: would be happening on your computer at home versus work.

691
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: The only thing I can think of is something is

692
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: running on your computer that is not really working properly

693
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: when you're at your home setup versus your your work setup.

694
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: So Sureley, keep me posted, let me know what's happening

695
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: once you do the speed test, and maybe we could

696
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: do some more some more fixing on that. Let's go

697
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: to Janine in Carlsbad. Janine, you're on with Rich Oh.

698

00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 9: had a computer or a tablet all I've had is

706
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 9: my Apple phone, okay, my Apple fourteen, which is not

707
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 9: working right now. So I'm kind of out in the

708
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 9: world drifting. But I have been doing a ton of

709
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 9: research and I need your advice before I invest. Okay,

710
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 9: I have a choice. People have told me, oh, go

711
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 9: go Apple all the way, Apple Macair computer with and

712
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 9: then Apple Mac.

713
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:28,959
Speaker 5: Ten.

714
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 9: Well wait a minute, ten points something. What do they

715
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 9: call it?

716
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: A pad?

717
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 9: What do they call it?

718
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got about a minute. So I'm you're trying

719
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: to figure out which which computer to get?

720
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 9: All with Mac? Or can I go with my my

721
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 9: Apple phone and two two cheaper or less expensive Samsung products.

722
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: Well, and you want a laptop or what do you want?

723
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: What other products?

724
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 9: I want a laptop and I also want the Patty tablet.

725
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I think you go all Apple. Honestly, I think

726
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: the tablet's Apple has the best tablet with the iPad,

727
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: I think you go with the MacBook Air for your laptop.

728
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: If you have the money to spend, get the newer version.

729
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: I would recommend the thirteen or fifteen inch if you

730
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,479
Speaker 1: don't want to spend as much since you're buying a lot,

731
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: But is your birthday, sure, Janine, So you know, maybe splurch,

Speaker 1: one coming up this hour. Jen call Trider of Mozilla

742
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: will join us to talk about how our are spying

743
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: on us. Mozilla had a big report this week, Privacy

744
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: not included. They said that basically cars are the worst

745
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: thing they have ever tested for privacy, and they collect

746
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: twenty five all kinds of personal information. They tested twenty

747
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: five different brands, twenty five brands failed, and they collect

748
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: some really surprising stuff about us. So Jen will join

749
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: us to talk about that. I'm also going to tell

750
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: you about Amazon's new fee even for prime customers, why

751
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 1: you should update your Apple products right now, and some

752
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: sneaky new ad settings on Google Chrome. Let's go to

753
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: Melody in Carlsbad. Melody.

754
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 10: You're on with Rich Hi, Rich Listen, I have this question.

755
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 10: For a long time, been meaning to call you about it.

756
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 10: I'm a senior citizen and from time to time I

757
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 10: will get an email that lists all the stores that

758
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 10: provide senior discounts. Now, obviously I'm not going to keep

759
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 10: this email in my pocket when I'm out shopping, But

760
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 10: I'm wondering, is there an app that will alert me

761
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 10: while I'm out shopping. Let's say I walk into Marshalls

762
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 10: and that I have my location on on my iPhone,

763
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 10: and then it notifies me, Oh, you're in Marshalls. Hey,

764
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 10: they have a discount for seniors today. Is there such

765
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 10: an app that exists like that.

766
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: It's a good idea, for sure. You know, there are

767
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: lots of apps that have discounts and freebies and deals.

768
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't know of one specific for seniors. But and

769
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: also you know that would require your your location obviously

770
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: to be on and to know where you are, so

771
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: some people would be a little bit concerned with that.

772
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: But I do think there are some ways to sort

773
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: of figure this out. So I'll go through some of

774
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: the ways that I And by the way, I think

775
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: it's great that you're thinking about this, because I'm not

776
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: kidding it kind of goes back to what I was

777
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: talking about with the airline. Just by asking a majority

778
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: of the time or even searching, you can find things

779
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: that you know may save you a lot of money.

780
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: A good example I gave a couple of months ago

781
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: on the show was my wife and I were in

782
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: CVS and before we checked out, I said, let me

783
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: just check the app to see if there's any sort

784
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: of discount, and sure enough, there was like a thirty

785
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: percent coupon in the CVS app. So what I do personally,

786
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: every time I am checking out or in a store,

787
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: I will just fire up either the stores app or

788
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 1: I will just search for the name of the store

789
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: and either discount or coupon and see if there's something

790
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: that's running. A lot of these discount codes, a lot

791
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: of these websites that say they have codes, You're going

792
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: to sit there for an hour trying these and they're

793
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: not going to work, and especially in store, a majority

794
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: of the time, it's just going to be bogus. So

795
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: until someone comes up with an app like you're talking

796
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: about that, you know you can sit. You know you're

797
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: in the coals, you're in the you know, Walmart, whatever

798
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: it is. You could say Hey, show me all the

799
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: available discounts for this right here. That'd be a good idea,

800
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: but I don't know if that exists. But I will

801
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: tell you the places that I look so after I

802
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: do the whole you know, I think the number one

803
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: place to look right now is the store's own app.

804
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: That's a great way to do it. The second thing

805
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: is just to search on Google and say the name

806
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: of the store plus discount or senior discount, and that'll

807
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: bring up a list if you're just looking on Google.

808
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: There's like this this website called the Senior List dot

809
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: com and they've got a whole bunch of deals. Looks

810
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: like interesting, So like, yeah, they've got a list of

811
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: all different places. It doesn't look like it's too many

812
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: there though. Then they've got another website that I like

813
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: is called dealnews dot com. So deal News has a

814
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: post that looks like they continue to update it, the

815
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: seventy eight best senior discounts to use in twenty twenty three.

816
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: And again, I know, Melody that you asked for an

817
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: app that would alert you. I don't know of that.

818
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: So I'm just telling you the different ways that I

819
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: would do this to make sure that I get a

820
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: discount every time. The other place I like, which actually

821
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: is quite good, is called couponcabin dot com, and so

822
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: you can search for the name of a retailer inside this.

823
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: So let's say you're in right Aid, you can search

824
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: for right Aid and it gives you all the coupons

825
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: that are available at that moment. But also on the

826
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: left hand side, it gives you little shopping hacks for

827
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: that store, so it'll tell you different ways that you

828
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: might be able to save on your purchases at that store.

829
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: And for right Aid there's like seventeen little tips. And

830
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: look at that. It says that right aid offers customers

831
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: over the age of sixty five a twenty percent discount

832
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: on the first Wednesday of the month. Wow, look at that.

833
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: Where's my bell?

834
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 7: Ding? Ding?

835
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 4: Oh?

836
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 1: Let's see what else there we go. The other website

837
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: that I check on a daily basis is called slick

838
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: dealsslickdeals dot net. And then of course AARP. They have discounts,

839
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: but it looks like AARP mostly shows discounts that they

840
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: have because of your card, but they do have a lot. Actually,

841
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 1: now that I'm scrolling through, Wow, Corner Bakery, Annie's ooh,

842
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: I always like one of those like pretzels. Yeah, who

843
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: can resist those pretzels? You know, like the smell is

844
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: just wafting out into the mall. It's just like I

845
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: become like a zombie. I'm like, please give me a

846
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: cinnamon sugar pretzel. Like I didn't go into the mall.

847
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: Does anyone ever go into the mall expecting to buy

848
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: like a cinnabon or well maybe cinnabon. Yeah, actually that's true,

849
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: both saying yes, oh missus fields, all these things that

850
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: just like they only exist in the mall, right, just

851
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: to like capture our our noses and our money. Oh

852
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: and it's so good and you and you wolf it

853
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: down so fast. The uh, those are the places that

854
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: I look. And again, I'll put all these links on

855
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: the website. Rich on tech dot TV. Are we still

856
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: on the air? Did they? Did they cancel us yet?

857
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 4: Uh?

858
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let me tell you about this triple eight rich

859
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: one O one eighty eight seven four to two four

860
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: one zero one. You know what, Save it for the

861
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: feedback segment. Tell me what you think in the feedback.

862
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: Go to rich on tech dot TV, hit contact, put

863
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: it in the feedback and I will read that at

864
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,280
Speaker 1: the end of the show. Amazon is gonna start charging

865
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: a dollar ninety nine for in garage delivery starting October fourth.

866
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: So this was previously a free service where Amazon, if

867
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: you had the ability, they could open up your garage

868
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: and put your stuff in your garage. I know when

869
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: it first came out, people were like, wait what, but

870
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: but it's not a bad idea if you live in

871
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: a place where something might get taken from your front

872
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: porch or you just want you know, it's just convenient.

873
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: But it took a lot of equipment. Anyway, they were

874
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: pushing this really hard because they said, hey, it's safe,

875
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: it's nice, and of course it helps them because less

876
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: theft means that they don't have to replace so many

877
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: items that they deliver. But now they're going to charge

878
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: a dollar ninety nine for this delivery unless you choose

879
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: your Amazon Day. So if you haven't set up your

880
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: Amazon Day, this is basically a day you designate every

881
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: week where they will deliver all the stuff that you

882
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: order in that week on that day. So for me,

883
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: my Amazon Day is Fridays. Oh should I have told

884
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: you that? Well, now you know which day to come

885
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: to my house. Anyway, I don't use it very often,

886
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: and because Amazon literally it's it's so wild because if

887
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: you live in a big city, Amazon can deliver like

888
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: so fast to you that it's always like, oh, do

889
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: you want your Amazon Day on Friday or would you

890
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: like us to get to this to you by nine o'clock?

891
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, of course, if it's free, I'm

892
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna take the nine o'clock tonight. But so don't be

893
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: alarmed if you see the headline that says Amazon's going

894
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: to start charging for all this stuff. It's only if

895
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: you're doing in garage deliveries, and only if you're doing

896
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: them not on your Amazon Day. So if you're still

897
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: just doing Amazon Prime, you know, your regular deliveries, those

898
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: are still free for now. But as we know, Amazon

899
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: has definitely been tightening, you know, ratcheting things up with

900
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: all the little kind of things they do. I still

901
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: think they're pretty incredible for how fast they get stuff

902
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: to my house, but you know, they've raised like the minimums,

903
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: and of course with the groceries, everyone's grumbling about that

904
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: because groceries used to be really easy to get those delivered,

905
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: and now that's expensive. They've added fees on that and

906
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: Prime membership keeps going up and up and up, so

907
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: you know, it's still a very good service. It's just

908
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: it's evolved and changed like everything else. You know, all

909
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: these prices have gone up lately, and finally, not finally,

910
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: but for now. Before we go to break, update your

911
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: Apple products. Apple has released software updates for iPhones, iPads, Macs,

912
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: and Apple Watches. This is all because of two zero

913
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: day vulnerabilities. Zero day vulnerabilities are pretty much the worst.

914
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: It means that someone could could take over your phone

915
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: without you doing anything, which is really scary. That means

916
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: they could just send you a malicious image or a

917
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: malicious attachment and literally they have control of your phone. Now,

918
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: it would take special software and obviously the know how

919
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: to do this, but it's pretty scary. It's like the

920
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: scariest of all of the exploits on phones are these

921
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: zero day things. So if you have an iPhone, you

922
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: have an iPad, you have a Mac, you have an

923
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, definitely go ahead and update them as soon

924
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: as you can. The update ISOs sixteen point six. I

925
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: think we're up to and by the way, we're going

926
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: to get new iOS very soon to iOS seventeen Yeah,

927
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: sixteen point six point one. That's what you want to

928
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: be on and I'm just looking at mine. It says

929
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: this update provides importance security fixes and is recommended for

930
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: all users. Yeah. Think Apple is patched thirteen zero days

931
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. A lot of the zero day

932
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: stuff is used for this what's called Pegasus spyware, and

933
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: this UH spyware is basically used to target journalists, activists

934
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: and UH world leaders that they want to get on

935
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: their phone because there's some good information on there and it's, uh,

936
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: it's stuff that you know, the bad folks really want

937
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: access to. But for you and I, I mean, well

938
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: I am a journalist, so people probably do target me,

939
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: but they're you know, for the average person, Like, is

940
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: someone trying to take over your phone? Probably not? But

941
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: should you do this? Of course? Of course, of course,

942
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: of course. There you have it. Rich on Tech dot

Speaker 1: you don't like ads tracking you. And also speaking of

952
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: tracking us, our cars are spying on us in a

953
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: big way. Now we all kind of assumed this was happening,

954
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: but now we kind of have the data to back

955
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: it up. So my guests, in just a couple of

956

Speaker 1: Mozilla Privacy not included just all the different ways cars

958
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: are tracking us. Let's go to uh, Peter and San Gabriel. Peter,

959
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

960
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 6: Hi, Rich, pleasure to talk to you. I have a question.

961
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 6: I had been looking for a phone call recording app

962
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 6: okay uh for my phone, and I had downloaded one

963
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 6: app said it was free, you know for a pre

964
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 6: one Yeah, and then they asked for a credit cards. Yeah,

965
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 6: but it was only just to start it, just like

966
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 6: to see if I have I guess money and the

967
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 6: account or whatever. But then after it then it when

968
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 6: it would say when I put in my card, information

969
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 6: would say it wasn't going through and it wasn't accepting

970
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 6: and all that, and then finally it said I was

971
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 6: like the app was only three for about five days,

972
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 6: and there was going to be forty nine ninety five

973
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 6: a month. Yep, I was so christ and I can't

974
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 6: say bad words, but.

975
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: Well we don't want to say him on the radio either,

976
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: because I've already I've already ran this show off the

977
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: rails today once. Yeah, so you're are you here looking

978
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: for you're looking for a call recorder? And are you

979
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: on iPhone or Android?

980
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 6: Android?

981
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: Okay? So Android definitely makes it a little bit easier.

982
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: But the thing is a lot of these are not free.

983
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: And I think what you've found is that is that

984
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: you're you're looking for these and they say free and

985
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: they're not. So I will tell you the way that Well,

986
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things I know that you can do,

987
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: so if you're looking for completely free the thing that

988
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: I do, or I've done in the past is Google Voice.

989
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 1: Do you have a Google Voice number?

990
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

991
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So in Google Voice, you can actually record a

992
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: call and it's quite simple, it's quite easy, and it's

993
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: free and unlimited as far as I know. Maybe it

994
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: takes up some of the storage on your Google account,

995
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: but if you let's see, let me just type in

996
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: how to do it. Record a call. So basically, if

997
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: someone calls you on your Google Voice number, you basically

998
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: just have to press the number four and that will

999
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: start recording the call. And then I think it just

1000
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: downloads it as a like a you know, you just

1001
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: download it from your Google Voy stashboard. But that's like

1002
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: the easiest and the simplest and the cheapest way to

1003
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: do it that I know. But the only caveat is

1004
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: that they do have to call your Google Voice number

1005
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: to get that started.

1006
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 6: And you know, obviously, I you know, I have to

1007
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 6: basically have a Google Voice account.

1008
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: Or yes, and that's in it. I believe it's free.

1009
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean I've had Google Voice forever. I don't think

1010
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: they charged for that. So you could sign up for that,

1011
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: get a phone number, and then just start doing that.

1012
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: Whenever you want to record a call, just tell the

1013
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: person to call that number.

1014
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 6: I can't use this saying that my own cell phone

1015
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 6: number for that.

1016
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 11: Er.

1017
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's I mean, look, you can have

1018
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: your number forward. You can forward your number to Google

1019
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: Voice then have it do it that way. That might work,

1020
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: but you know, it gets a little tricky there because

1021
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: then all your calls would do that. I'm looking at, uh,

1022
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: this other one called call x for Android. But the

1023
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: problem is, I'm wondering if this needs root, you know,

1024
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: access to root on your phone. I think for a

1025
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: lot of security reasons, they don't allow this to happen.

1026
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: Let's see call recorder. The other thing is that so

1027
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: a lot of these these call recorders, the way they

1028
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: work is instead of actually recording the call from your phone,

1029
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: they make you call a third number, so you kind

1030
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,919
Speaker 1: of do like a three way call, and you will

1031
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: it records it that way. So and the other one

1032
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: I know of is true Caller. Now we had them

1033
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: on the show, so I know they're legitimate. They have

1034
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: a call recording, but again you will have to pay

1035
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: for that. So I don't have an answer for you

1036
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: on a free call recorder. Besides the Google Voice, like

1037
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: the app situation, I'm looking at this one app. And

1038
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: the other thing is, see this app wasn't even updated

1039
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: since October twenty twenty two. But I think a lot

1040
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: of these things that I'm just looking at quickly here

1041
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: are they all seem the same Like people are like,

1042
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: oh they don't work, they don't you know. But the

1043
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: good news about this show, Peter, is that you know,

1044
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people listening, and we've got the

1045
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: feedback segment. So if you know of a good phone

1046
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: call recording app that works very easily on Android, uh,

1047
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: send it to me, So Rich on Tech, hit the

1048
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: contact button and let me know which one you use.

1049
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: The other one that I do like that is very popular,

1050
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: but again I think it's gonna cost money. And I've

1051
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: done an interview with this company too, is called Tape

1052
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: a Call, and this is probably one of the top

1053
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 1: apps out there for doing this and tape a Call

1054
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: dot com and if you uh look at that one,

1055
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: it will it's very very easy, and it says that

1056
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,720
Speaker 1: you can do this on a call that you're already

1057
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: on incoming calls. But again, uh, it's gonna I believe

1058
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 1: they're going to charge you after a while. Yeah, monthly

1059
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: planned nine ninety nine a month, annual plan sixty dollars. So,

1060
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: and also I want to put the caveat out there

1061
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 1: as a journalist that you can't just rea cort a

1062
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: phone call without the other person knowing. So that is

1063
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: something that you do need to look into your state's laws,

1064
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: your local laws for recording phone calls. You can't just

1065
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 1: record a call without someone knowing. In most states I

1066
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: or many I think almost every state as far as

1067
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: I know, you have to tell the person on the

1068
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: other line, but definitely check your local laws. All right,

1069
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we're going to talk to Gen call

1070
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,919
Speaker 1: Trid of Mozilla about how our cars are spying on us.

00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for having me.

1077
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've got this report out, this new report

1078
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: that is causing quite the stir. It's basically about how

1079
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: our cars are spying on us. So can you explain

1080
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: this Privacy Not Included report just a bit.

1081
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1082
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 11: We looked into the privacy and security of twenty five

1083
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 11: popular car brands, everything from Volkswagen to Nissan, to Tesla

1084
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 11: to Kia. And we looked at the privacy, how they'd

1085
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 11: use data, how much data they're collecting, if they secure it,

1086
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 11: things like that. And what we found is that all

1087
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 11: twenty five car brands that we reviewed earned our privacy

1088
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 11: not including warning label because they're absolutely terrible at privacy.

1089
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 1: And this isn't the first time that you've done this label.

1090
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: You typically look at all kinds of things to see

1091
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: what the privacy policies are and how they collect data.

1092
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 11: Yeah, we have a buyer privacy not included as a

1093
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 11: buyer's guide for users to go and look up their

1094
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 11: fitbits or their smart speakers or their robot vacuums and review.

1095
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: We review them lots of products for privacy.

1096
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 11: We've reviewed hundreds of products for privacy over the years.

1097
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: Cars is a little different beast because they are a beast.

1098
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 11: There there's multiple ways that they can collect data through

1099
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 11: the cars themselves, as devices, the connected service, the apps,

1100
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 11: and so it was a unique experience to review cars

1101
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 11: and it ended up being quite frightening.

1102
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's really interesting that you came out with

1103
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: this report on the same day that I got a

1104
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: new rental car. And when I plugged my phone into

1105
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 1: this car, I'm not kidding, there was a fleeting moment

1106
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 1: where I saw a message on the screen that basically

1107
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: said we can collect all kinds of data, and it

1108
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: was so fast and I couldn't do anything. And I

1109
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: pulled out my phone and I tried to plug it

1110
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: back in. I could never see that message again, but

1111
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, this really is happening in a

1112
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: big way. Can you tell me about some of the

1113
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: ways that these car companies collect data from drivers? Is

1114
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: it coming from the cars themselves?

1115
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's coming from all over, It's coming from the

1116
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 11: cars themselves. You know a lot of people haven't driven

1117
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 11: a new car recently. You might be surprised that there's

1118
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 11: no such thing as a smart car anymore. There's just

1119
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 11: all our cars are connected, and they come with sensors

1120
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 11: that tract you know, where we drive and how much

1121
00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 11: we weigh, and how many people.

1122
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 2: Are in the car with us.

1123
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 11: They have microphones, they have cameras that face in and

1124
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 11: cameras that face out. But then the cars come with

1125
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 11: connected services. You know, you're on star R, your serious

1126
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 11: XM radio, your your navigation, you know, all those connected

1127
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 11: services also can can be collecting and sharing data.

1128
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 2: And then cars come with apps.

1129
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 11: Now you know, so you can you know, start, stop

1130
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 11: your car, remotely, honk your horn. But those apps also

1131
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 11: collect data, and that's kind of the tip of the

1132
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 11: iceberg with data collection.

1133
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 2: With cars.

1134
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 11: We didn't even dig into you know, what your car

1135
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 11: dealers can collect or what insurances companies can. We just

1136
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 11: looked at the cars, the connected services and the apps

1137
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 11: and those collected and enough data to scare us.

1138
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: So what types of sensors in these cars are collecting

1139
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: the data and what type of data are they collecting?

1140
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: Like is it you know, like someone that you know,

1141
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: the car companies doesn't have a live stream to my camera,

1142
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: do they?

1143
00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 11: Well they could, right, I mean, there was a story

1144
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 11: that has been reported about Tesla with employees looking at

1145
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 11: Tesla cameras that without authorization. So that's the potential anything

1146
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 11: that has a camera or a microphone. You know, you

1147
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 11: just kind of have to trust that the company is

1148
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 11: going to protect that respect that which you know, that's

1149
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 11: the day and age we live in, and you know,

1150
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 11: most things come with cameras and microphones. You know, there's

1151
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 11: also the sensors that that tell how fast you're going,

1152
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 11: or how much you weigh, or what the temperature is outside,

1153
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 11: things like that. But when you read the privacy policies

1154
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 11: of these car companies, that's when the eyebrows really go up,

1155
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 11: because they they have these handy little tables in number

1156
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 11: of them where they lay out all the personal information

1157
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 11: they say they can collect on you, and we saw

1158
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 11: things like sex life. Kia mentioned they could collect information

1159
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 11: about your sex life, Nissan mentioned sexual activity, genetic information,

1160
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 11: medical information, uh, you know, race, immigration, and then they

1161
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 11: can they say they can go on and collect even

1162
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 11: more data about you by by collecting it from third

1163
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 11: party so versus like buying it from data brokers or

1164
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 11: getting it from public information public sources that they can

1165
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 11: then combine into, you know, a bigger profile on you.

1166
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 11: And then they say they talk about making inferences about

1167
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 11: things like your intelligence or your abilities, and I don't

1168
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 11: know about you, but I don't need a car company

1169
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 11: making any inferences about my intelligence.

1170
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: That just feels creepy.

1171
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's the wild West. It sounds like

1172
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: it's the early days of sort of the Internet, and

1173
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: when everything tracked you. You'd go to shop for a

1174
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: mattress on one website and it would show up for

1175
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: ads on thousands of other websites. Is that what's happening

1176
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: with the car companies. Nobody's ever really thought about this before,

1177
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: so they're just doing whatever they can before people realize

1178
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: that they're doing this.

1179
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 2: It sure feels that way.

1180
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 11: It feels like this beast kind of got out of

1181
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 11: control before people started paying attention.

1182
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm guilty of that.

1183
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 11: We started doing this research, and as we were looking

1184
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 11: into it and realized just how bad it was, we're like,

1185
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 11: why aren't more people talking about this?

1186
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 2: This is really bad?

1187
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 11: And then we realized, well, we're the ones that our

1188
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 11: job to talk about this, So I'm glad that you're

1189
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,439
Speaker 11: talking about this. And then in terms of the wild West,

1190
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 11: you know, I think consumers are probably pretty kind of

1191
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 11: numb to the fact that their data is collected and

1192
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 11: used for advertising.

1193
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 2: But when you think.

1194
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 11: About cars and you think about the data that can

1195
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 11: be collected and shared, and also just kind of how

1196
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 11: we see cars in our culture, and when you read

1197
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 11: lines in privacy policies that say things like a car

1198
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 11: company could share your personal information with government or law

1199
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 11: enforcement based on something as simple as a formal or

1200
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,919
Speaker 11: informal request, then you start to get in the land

1201
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 11: of where things get really kind of scary, because if

1202
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 11: nothing more than an informal request from the government would

1203
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 11: let them listen in on the microphone or track your

1204
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 11: every move, or you know, monitor how many people you

1205
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 11: have in your car.

1206
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 2: That gets really scary.

1207
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: So what's the risk of all of this, what's the

1208
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: potential consequences of all of this? Why should we be concerned?

1209
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 11: Well, the big reason I think people should be concerned

1210
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 11: is there's not Consumers don't have choice now, you know,

1211
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 11: so if you go and look up a smart fitness tracker,

1212
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 11: you know, we can tell you some that are going

1213
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 11: to do better at.

1214
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 2: Privacy than others.

1215
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 11: With cars, we can't recommend any car companies that are

1216
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 11: going to that are doing better.

1217
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 2: And that's scary.

1218
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 11: And there's not a lot of you know, like this

1219
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 11: is just starting to be talked about, So what are

1220
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 11: the solutions?

1221
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 2: Consumers don't have a lot of options.

1222
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 11: It's time for the policy makers and regulators to step in.

1223
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 2: But we all know that takes a lot of time.

1224
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 11: And the car companies, I mean, let's be honest, car

1225
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 11: companies don't have a long history of very ethical behavior,

1226
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 11: so pushing them to do what's right is going to

1227
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 11: take all of us. And so i'd say, you know,

1228
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 11: if you feel outraged after seeing you know what we're reporting,

1229
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 11: great and then take an action, you know, contact and

1230
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 11: elected official, you know, find out who's a regulator in

1231
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 11: your state and contact them.

1232
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Just make a little bit of noise, because that's what's

1233
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 2: going to take to make change.

1234
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Are there these like options to opt out in the

1235
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: app or on the car itself.

1236
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, opting out is very interesting.

1237
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 11: Tugh's privacy policy basically says you can opt out of

1238
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 11: data collection, but yeah, your car might become inoperable.

1239
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 2: And that's not much of a choice.

1240
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 11: General Motors is interesting because there were reports that some

1241
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 11: of their cars started coming with an option and the

1242
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 11: sticker price that people couldn't opt out of. So it

1243
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 11: wasn't much of an option for fifteen hundred dollars for

1244
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 11: their on Star connected services. And if people are paying

1245
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 11: fifteen hundred dollars for a service that they don't want

1246
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 11: to use because of privacy reasons, you know, that's not fair.

1247
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 2: That's not right.

1248
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 11: And so choice and consent are both really big concerns.

1249
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 11: I mean, consent is a real big issue. You know,

1250
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 11: some car companies basically say you getting in the car

1251
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 11: and being a passenger as a connected car is in essence?

1252
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 11: Can they consider that consent to their privacy policy? And

1253
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 11: neither one of those things are right. And so this

1254
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 11: is why cars are the worst privacy category we've ever reviewed.

1255
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: Why is our data so valuable?

1256
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 11: Follow the money right, Like data equals money. The more

1257
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 11: they can tell about you. You know, if Nissan knows

1258
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 11: about your sex life and your intelligence, they can make

1259
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 11: a lot of inferences that you know, would allow marketers

1260
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 11: to target you with things. And it gets really scary

1261
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 11: when you think, you're like, oh, what's an ad what's

1262
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 11: that matter? But if somebody can determine, you know, you

1263
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 11: know where your weaknesses lie based on those inferences, they

1264
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 11: can manipulate you. And you see that a lot in

1265
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 11: our on our internet, you know, people being manipulated and

1266
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 11: lead in places that are not healthy.

1267
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 2: And so that's a big reason.

1268
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 11: You know, companies see it as a way to make money,

1269
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 11: but bad actors see it as a way to manipulate

1270
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 11: people with advertising, and and then it just.

1271
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:41,959
Speaker 2: Kind of spirals from there.

1272
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Where can folks find more information about all this?

1273
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 11: Oh, just go to Privacy Not Included dot org. We

1274
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 11: have articles there, We have the twenty five car reviews.

1275
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 11: Just click on the car tab and if you see

1276
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 11: something that we didn't review.

1277
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 2: Please shoot us out.

1278
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 11: There's a form you can tell us and we'll hopefully

Speaker 11: get to it Somedayah.

1280
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Call Trider, head of the Privacy Not Included team at Mozilla.

1281
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me today.

1282
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 11: Thank you.

1283

Speaker 1: All right, we'll have more rich on Tech coming up

1284
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: after this. If you have a question, give me a call.

1285
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven

1286
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Welcome back to

1287
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking technology with you. Yes, surprising,

1288
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: huh about all the car situation, I mean there's really

1289
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: the takeaway is can you do anything about it? Not really.

1290
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of these websites and things, you know,

1291
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: you can at least say I want to opt out

1292
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: the privacy situation. You know, there's a lot of settings

1293
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of privacy safeguards in place for some

1294
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: of these established things. But with cars, again, it's kind

1295
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: of like the Wild West. I feel like they're just

1296
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: they're just doing whatever they can to get as much

1297
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: information they can until someone says something. And by the way,

1298
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: when I was in Europe, it's interesting they have a

1299
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: lot of Europe in California have like probably the strictest

1300
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: privacy laws and regulations, and in Europe It's interesting when

1301
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: you go to a website, you know how you get

1302
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: those pop ups on every website that says, do you

1303
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: want to accept these cookies? And I would always recommend

1304
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: that you say reject if you can. But in America,

1305
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: the websites usually have two options. It says, dis let's

1306
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: see what does this say? Basically accept all or go

1307
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: into settings. And then you got to go into these

1308
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: settings to like select, you know, de select each individual one,

1309
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: which is kind of a pain, so you end up

1310
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: saying just select say yes to everything. Well, in Europe

1311
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 1: the only two options are accept all and reject all. Somehow,

1312
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: reject all got lost in translation here in the US,

1313
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: which would make life a lot easier for us because

1314
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: then we don't have to have all these different websites

1315
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: following us. So anyway, over in Europe a little bit

1316
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: more privacy when it comes to that stuff. They had

1317
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: GDPR over there, which is all their data protection regulations,

1318
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: So we're kind of getting some of that here in

1319
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: the US, but it is still still pretty wild. I mean, really,

1320
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: the biggest company to do anything with data privacy was

1321
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: Apple when they turned on their little privacy switch on

1322
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 1: the iPhone through the software. I mean that really changed things.

1323
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean Facebook overnight lost like ten billion dollars in

1324
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: AD revenue because it was just like they couldn't track

1325
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: people as much anymore. What's that called. I think it's

1326
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 1: called let's see, I gotta remember what it was called.

1327
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: It's called like app tracking transparency. I think app tracking transparency.

1328
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: App tracking. It's when you see that little message that

1329
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 1: pops up that says, hey, would you like this app

1330
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: to follow you around? You're like, no, yeah, att app

1331
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: tracking transparency. This is where iOS asks users for permission

1332
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: to share their data. And when they turn this on,

1333
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: obviously everyone was just like, no, don't follow me around.

1334
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: I gotta watch you to follow me, and that really

1335
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:13,479
Speaker 1: mess things up. Now, ironically, Chrome Google Chrome is doing

1336
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: something in the opposite way, and I'll tell you about that.

1337
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Let me take this call. Lisa's been on hold for

1338
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 1: a while. Lisa is in spring Hill. I'll tell you

1339
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: about the the Chrome setting after this. Lisa, you're on

1340
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: with Rich.

1341
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:27,919
Speaker 12: Hey, Rich, thank you for taking my call.

1342
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in.

1343
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 4: Sorry.

1344
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 12: I have an HP Pavilion twenty touchscreen a computer and

1345
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 12: it's running currently Windows eight point one. It is a

1346
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 12: little bit older it's not a primary PC. And I

1347
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 12: have a medically fragile son that average life span is

1348
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 12: six and he's actually going to be thirty four next

1349
01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 12: a month. Oh wow, Yeah, amazing and cognitively kindergarten first grade.

1350
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 12: And I have a number of older PC software discs

1351
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 12: that really use like ninety five three point one ninety eight.

1352
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 12: Is it realistic for me at all to think that

1353
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 12: I can take this computer not have it beat internet

1354
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 12: access because that's much too advance for him, but for

1355
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 12: him to be able to enjoy these software games currently.

1356
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: Well, first off, I'm sure this has been tough for

1357
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: you with your son, and I feel for you, so

1358
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 1: I think you've you've done really well. So I just want.

1359
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 12: To let you know that it's a gift and a blessing.

1360
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So anyway, I just want to get that

1361
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: out of the way. But with this setup. So my

1362
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on this are you can try it. I think

1363
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: that it's going to be a little bit of work

1364
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,640
Speaker 1: to try to get these two and you know, it

1365
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 1: may work. Some of them may work. Do you now

1366
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: when you say you have the discs, are you trying

1367
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: to put these discs in the new machine? Like does

1368
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: the machine have the slots for these disks? Are they sloppies?

1369
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 12: It does have a dvblat and when I put them in,

1370
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 12: majority of them are just telling me that the things

1371
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 12: don't match.

1372
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 1: Oh so it's not even letting you that.

1373
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, I was curious if I could just you know,

1374
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 12: clean this out and put in like if I have

1375
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 12: a Windows ninety eight or a Windows ninety five CD

1376
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 12: to make that be I'm not sure what I apologize,

1377
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,839
Speaker 12: My computer knowledge is not that great. But to figure

1378
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 12: out if I can install that in lieu of the

1379
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 12: current system, that if that would be able to be

1380
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 12: done on this type of a computer.

1381
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's an option. You know, it's been

1382
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since I installed Windows, you know,

1383
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: ninety eight, ninety five, Windows three point one. It's been

1384
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: a very long time since these things. So but with

1385
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 1: that said, I mean, if you're on a computer and

1386
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: you've got the DVD drive, it really would come down

1387
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: to I think the like the firmware and the bootloader,

1388
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: like whether they would allow this to be installed on there.

1389
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: And so I think that you'd probably need to enlist

1390
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: the help of someone to kind of you know, like

1391
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,719
Speaker 1: maybe find like a good, you know, helpful tech person

1392
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: in your area that just wants to do this out

1393
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 1: of the goodness of their heart, and you know, maybe

1394
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: they can format that drive and run the if you

1395
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 1: have the disc for it Windows ninety five ninety eight. Now,

1396
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 1: the other thing you might be able to do, and

1397
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm gonna get a lot of emails about

1398
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: this with some suggestions, but I think the other thing

1399
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: you could do is maybe try like an emulator program.

1400
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: So I think on these discs, if you look at

1401
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: the way these discs are, if you can put them

1402
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: into the computer and actually just see what's on them

1403
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: instead of running the installer, maybe try to drag the

1404
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: information from the disc to the computer, and then you

1405
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: might be able to run these inside like a DOS emulator,

1406
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: because a lot of these programs need stuff that does

1407
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: the newer programs. The newer version of Windows just doesn't

1408
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 1: have on it anymore. And so that's one way. So

1409
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: if you can get the games to install, they're like,

1410
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: if you can get the the exse file on there,

1411
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: you might be able to do what's called compatibility mode,

1412
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: and you can right click that games, you know, the

1413
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: ex file, and you click properties and there's a compatibility

1414
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 1: tab and you can actually select the version of Windows

1415
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 1: you want to run this thing in. So that might

1416
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 1: be the easiest way you could try that. So again

1417
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: that's called that's called compatibility mode. So you can search

1418
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: search Google for that and show you how to do that.

1419
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 1: But that might be like the easiest way if you

1420
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 1: can get these games on the computer, you know, if

1421
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: you can get the programs. The other thing is a

1422
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 1: DOS emulator, so I would check out something called dos

1423
01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 1: box and see if that would work. You can also

1424
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: run an older version of Windows in a virtual machine

1425
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 1: as well, so if you want to try that. But again,

1426
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: all of these things are getting a little bit like

1427
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're getting a little complicated, right, So if

1428
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 1: you're if you're really.

1429
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 12: Not an expert, Yeah, no I'm not.

1430
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: But I think I would if I were you, I

1431
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: would enlist the help find someone at some sort of

1432
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: program there that you know that just look online for

1433
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: someone in your area that's got the you know, that

1434
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: wants to help people and maybe it is working at

1435
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: like a nonprofit or something computer nonprofit that might be

1436
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: able to help you set this up because a lot

1437
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 1: of times they'll take old computers and they'll get them

1438
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: running again. We've got a guy here in La called

1439
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: the Laptop Elf and he does that and so you know,

1440
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: maybe even look him up and he might be able

1441
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 1: to guide you on there. But Lisa, great question. Thanks

1442
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,719
Speaker 1: for being such an amazing person out there in spring Hill, Florida.

1443
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: Best of luck to you and your son with these games.

1444
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

1445
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Back rich DeMuro

1446
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you, talking technology at Triple eight

1447
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Rich one O one. That's eight eight eight seven four

1448
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 1: to two four one zero one. So much to talk about. Still,

1449
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: new ad settings on Google Chrome that you might want

1450
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 1: to change. Roadblocks is coming to PlayStation, so your kids

1451
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: are going to be bugging you for one of those now.

1452
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: And eBay is uh embracing AI to help you sell

1453
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 1: that stuff in your attic a little bit easier. And

1454
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 1: believe me, AI is everywhere at this point. It is

1455
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: really just taken. I can't believe how fast AI has

1456
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: had an impact on so many of the products and

1457
01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: services that we use, and it's just getting starts. Let's

1458
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: see Triple eight rich one on one eight eight eight

1459
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. We had

1460
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: someone leave a voicemail at the website rich on tech

1461
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: dot TV. If you want to do that for the

1462
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,640
Speaker 1: feedback segment. If you don't want to call in, you're

1463
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: a little embarrassed, you don't want to be on the phone,

1464
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 1: you want to be in live radio, you can go

1465
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: to my website rich on tech dot TV. Look for

1466
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: the microphone button in the lower right hand corner. You

1467
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:27,440
Speaker 1: can tap that and you can leave me a voicemail.

1468
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: Just my advice is be concise, right, I mean, you know,

1469
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: you just just be concise, and we will perhaps play

1470
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 1: that on the air in the feedback section of the

1471
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:42,679
Speaker 1: show which comes up at the end. Here, let's see,

1472
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: let me tell you about this Google Chrome ad settings situation.

1473
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: So Google Chrome is rolling out something called Enhanced ad Privacy,

1474
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: which sounds great, right, But this actually targets ads to

1475
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 1: you based on your browsing history using something called the

1476
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: Topics API. So basically what's happening is this kind of

1477
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: goes back to what I was saying about Apple all

1478
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 1: there's a big kind of backlash against sharing the exact

1479
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: things that you're doing on your phone and the websites

1480
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: that you're going to with other websites using what's called

1481
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: third party cookies. I know it gets a little complicated,

1482
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 1: but basically, if you've ever seen one of those ads

1483
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: that follows you around the web, that's because of what's

1484
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 1: called a third party cookie. That means that when you

1485
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:31,719
Speaker 1: visit one website, right and you shop for a new comforter,

1486
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,679
Speaker 1: there's a little cookie that remembers that on your web browser.

1487
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: And then when you go to another website that sells stuff,

1488
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 1: it looks at your cookies and it says, oh, this

1489
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 1: guy was looking for a comforter, let me show him

1490
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: ads for comforters. So that's kind of how that works

1491
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: in a nutshell. And there's companies that kind of broker

1492
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: these cookies. So and it's even more complicated. So when

1493
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: you go to a website, there might be a list

1494
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 1: of like thirty other tracking companies that work with that

1495
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 1: website to gather the data of you, what you're doing,

1496
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: how you're doing it, and then they exchange that data

1497
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: with other websites, and websites pay for all this. It's

1498
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 1: like our guest earlier said, it's all about the money.

1499
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: And so people are getting hip to this. They're blocking

1500
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:23,719
Speaker 1: third party cookies, they're using ad blockers, they're using enhanced

1501
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: tracking search engines like Duck duck Go, and browsers like Brave,

1502
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 1: and so it's getting tougher and tougher for these companies

1503
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: to figure out who you are, what you're doing, what

1504
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 1: you're looking at, and so they're coming up with new

1505
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 1: ways of doing it. So Google, who obviously has a

1506
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: lot to lose in this situation because they're entirely ad

1507
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: revenue based, they're saying, Okay, well, let's come up with

1508
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: something that seems to be private, but let's make it

1509
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: work for people. So they call it the Topics API,

1510
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: and this works for advertisers and you. So they're saying, look,

1511
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: we're not going to share who you are, but we're

1512
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: just going to kind of figure out the things that

1513
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: you're interested in, and we're going to share those things

1514
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: with companies the websites that you visit. We're gonna say, look,

1515
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: riches into motorcycles, riches into travel, riches into you know, premium,

1516
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: you know whatever, and that's the information we'll share with

1517
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: the website. And then the website goes, Okay, we got

1518
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: a guy here who likes motorcycles. Let's show them accessories

1519
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 1: for motorcycles. And that's how this works. Now. The bad

1520
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,799
Speaker 1: part about this is that Google is pretty much making

1521
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: this where you have to turn it off if you

1522
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 1: don't want it. So they're putting a pop up on

1523
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: your screen that says here's what we're doing. Got it,

1524
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: and you press got it, and you've just turned this on. Now,

1525
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 1: like I said, in Europe, a lot of the menus

1526
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: are saying turn it on instead of got it, but

1527
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: here in the US it just says got it. So

1528
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: you press got it and you're like, okay, well that's

1529
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 1: whatever that was, and really you just turned on this

1530
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 1: new feature. So some are saying this is what's called

1531
01:17:56,479 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 1: a dark pattern because you're opting in by DeFi rather

1532
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 1: than saying, hey, I don't want this. And so I

1533
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 1: tell you all this because there is a way to

1534
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: turn this off, and I would kind of I'm not

1535
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: saying you have to turn it off, but I'm just

1536
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 1: letting you know about this so you can decide if

1537
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: you want to turn it off. So, if you're running

1538
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: Chrome on your computer, go to the menu, and the

1539
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: menu are those three dots that are next to your name,

1540
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: the three vertical dots and then you tap settings, and

1541
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: then once you're in settings, there's something called privacy and Security.

1542
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: You tap that and then you'll see something that says

1543
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: AD privacy, customize the info used by sites to show

1544
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: you ads, and you can go in there and it

1545
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: says AD topics, site suggested Ads, and AD measurement. All

1546
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: three of these settings are probably turned on on your Chrome.

1547
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: I have them turned off just because I feel like

1548
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:57,679
Speaker 1: the less information floating out there about me is better.

1549
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: So I like these turned off, but you can them

1550
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: on if you want more targeted ads. That's fine. I

1551
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 1: don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. I just think

1552
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 1: that you should know how to turn these on and off.

1553
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: So again, menu settings, Privacy and Security, and then go

1554
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: to AD Privacy and you'll see those three toggles to

1555
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: turn on or off. While you're in here, you might

1556
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: also want to look at third party cookies. I would

1557
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 1: suggest blocking third party cookies on your web browser, and

1558
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: so that way these third party cookies aren't sharing as

1559
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 1: much information about you either, So that's an option. Most

1560
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,919
Speaker 1: of the time, it says either allow third party cookies,

1561
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: block third party cookies and incognito, or block third party cookies.

1562
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: I would say block third party cookies, that would be

1563
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: my suggestion, but again it's up to you. Now, if

1564
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:48,800
Speaker 1: you want an easy I know that's a lot. So

1565
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: if you want an easy to follow way to do this,

1566
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: just go to my instagram at rich on Tech and

1567
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: look for the posts that says Chrome Privacy Alert. You

1568
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: can just tap that and it's very very simple. I've

1569
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:04,600
Speaker 1: got the instructions there. I'll also put it on the

1570
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:10,759
Speaker 1: show notes. Oh let's see, let's go to uh Mike

1571
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: in Long Beach. Mike, you're on with rich Hi, how

1572
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: are you doing. I'm doing fantastic. What can I help

1573
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: you with?

1574
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 6: Uh?

1575
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:25,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, I I want either a computer or tablet or iPad.

1576
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 7: And the whole purpose of it is just to do

1577
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 7: investing and financial so you know, pay bills, not gonna

1578
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 7: do email, not going to even do browsing. That's that's

1579
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,640
Speaker 7: the only thing I want to do because there's things

1580
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 7: that I could do with that that I can't do

1581
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 7: on my iPhone.

1582
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: Right, just having that desktop browser and all that stuff.

1583
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:54,759
Speaker 7: I'm thinking more like a notebook.

1584
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:59,520
Speaker 1: But it just so you want a laptop.

1585
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,599
Speaker 7: Probably because I don't have a lot of room, Okay, house.

1586
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: Well, I would not recommend a tablet. I think that

1587
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 1: if you're if you're trying to do you know, your

1588
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: banking on there investing, I think a tablet is good,

1589
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: but I think a tablet is more for sort of

1590
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 1: content consumption. And so I would recommend a laptop because

1591
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: it's going to be easier. Now, you may not need

1592
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: a laptop. Are you taking Are you doing this from

1593
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the couch or are you gonna take this around the

1594
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 1: house or are you just you know, are you gonna

1595
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: set this up like in an office?

1596
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 7: Uh no, I I just do it on my iPhone

1597
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 7: wherever I'm at in the house, either either sitting in

1598
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 7: the TV or sometimes in the bedroom.

1599
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: Okay, well then I then maybe you want a laptop

1600
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: so you can bring it around the house, but I

1601
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: don't think you need something that's very high powered. We

1602
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: had a guest on a couple of weeks ago that

1603
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: went through some of the top laptops for twenty twenty three,

1604
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,600
Speaker 1: and especially the laptops that were the best value, and

1605
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: so I'm going to recommend too that I think would

1606
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:06,440
Speaker 1: work for your situation. The first is the the Asus

1607
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: zen Book fourteen o LEAD and this is a Windows laptop,

1608
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: and it's got the specs that you need, and it's

1609
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 1: got the price that you need. So it's going to

1610
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: be under one thousand dollars. And we are coming up

1611
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: to the holidays, and these are going to be discounted

1612
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: during the holidays, So if you can wait a little bit,

1613
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: I personally would just kind of watch the price on

1614
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:32,639
Speaker 1: these things and see what happens with the pricing, because,

1615
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 1: believe me, there's a glut of computers in the market

1616
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 1: at this point because everyone was buying them during the pandemic.

1617
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: The manufacturers were ramped up sales, and now of course

1618
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,599
Speaker 1: everyone's set up and they don't need these as much.

1619
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 1: So this one's got great specs, it's got a nice

1620
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: big screen for you, fourteen inches, running the latest Windows,

1621
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: and it's a good price under a thousand bucks. It

1622
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: looks like it's running about maybe seven to eight hundred dollars,

1623
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: depending on how you get get it configured. The other

1624
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: thing is a MacBook. If you want to go Apple,

1625
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: I would recommend a MacBook. They've got a new MacBook Air,

1626
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 1: but it's pricey, obviously, it's starting at thirteen hundred dollars.

1627
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: That's the MacBook Air. Fifteen. That'll give you a really

1628
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:19,480
Speaker 1: nice big screen to work on. If you don't particularly

1629
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 1: need that, you can go with the thirteen inch. Oh wow,

1630
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 1: this actually let's see. Oh, the MacBook Airs is actually

1631
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 1: on sale on Amazon right now. It's down to it's

1632
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,880
Speaker 1: basically fifteen percent off, down to eleven hundred bucks, so

1633
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. But again, these prices are going to

1634
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: be coming down. If you want an inexpensive Mac computer.

1635
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty version of the MacBook Air, which has

1636
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 1: their M one chip, which is a little bit old

1637
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: at this point, but it still works pretty well. That's

1638
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: got a thirteen inch display. They're selling that for about

1639
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty dollars. So those are a couple

1640
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: of options for you. I think any of those will

1641
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: work for what you're doing, because you're just talking about

1642
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:03,839
Speaker 1: doing basic web browsing, investing, banking. I'd recommend a Chromebook,

1643
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: but I think that that's even too basic for what

1644
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: you want. I think a standard desktop running either a

1645
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 1: standard web browser it would be best for you. Even

1646
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 1: though Chromebook does that, I think that that's probably the

1647
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: best for you. So, Mike, I think that's going to

1648
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,719
Speaker 1: do it. I hope you make a lot of money

1649
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: with this laptop, and then when you need a new one,

1650
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: you can just upgrade. All right, Thanks for the call today,

1651

1668
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:22,600
Speaker 13: I hope this is a simple question. I have my

1669
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 13: Apple iPhone thirteen. I've had it for a few years

1670
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 13: and I've recorded like barbershops songs, like like thousands of hours.

1671
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 5: Okays, some little things that I just post up like

1672
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:33,680
Speaker 5: do do do Do?

1673
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 2: Do Do Do Do.

1674
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 13: I would like to figure out how to get that

1675
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 13: on the internet somehow so everybody can hear that. I'll

1676
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 13: I can post them all somewhere.

1677
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:42,839
Speaker 1: How long are these.

1678
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 13: Well some of them are two or three hours, and

1679
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 13: some of them are just a few seconds.

1680
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay? How did you.

1681
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,679
Speaker 13: Record them on my voice and noms on my iPhone?

1682
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,560
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay? And is it is this copyrighted stuff or

1683
01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: is this stuff you did?

1684
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 13: No, it's just my bar course it's not. You know,

1685
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 13: it's fine.

1686
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 6: I think I can put it up.

1687
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: Oh it's your chorus. Okay, so it's your okay, okay. Uh,

1688
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: I would think that. Well, hmmm, it's probably a couple

1689
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: of ways. I mean, do you want so you can

1690
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 1: do a you know, like a simple website and you

1691
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,760
Speaker 1: want this for free? By the way, Yeah, I just.

1692
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 13: Want to post it so everybody can hear it about it?

1693
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 13: Cool stuff on there.

1694
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 6: I just want to get it out there for everybody.

1695
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of the free stuff has gone away,

1696
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,680
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to see. SoundCloud obviously is one of

1697
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 1: the biggest, you know, places that people post stuff. But

1698
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if they have now started to charge. Uh,

1699
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 1: let's see if they SoundCloud. It's like there, you know

1700
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: what they should have it. They should have a requirement

1701
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 1: that these websites should have the pricing information right on

1702
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 1: the front page. Because it's so many of the websites

1703
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: now will let you get started and then all of

1704
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 1: a sudden it's like, oh yeah, by the way, it's uh,

1705
01:26:56,360 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: this is it. Okay, so let's see a sound cloud. Okay.

1706
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,919
Speaker 1: So it looks like next is up to three hours

1707
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: of track uploads. So that may not work for you, right,

1708
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I think that they're all in

1709
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 1: one place.

1710
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 4: They're different, you know.

1711
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: Each one's okay. I think the best way to go

1712
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 1: about this is probably going to be YouTube because YouTube

1713
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: lets you pretty much upload unlimited for free, and the

1714
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 1: only trick is you're going to have to add video

1715
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 1: to the audio. Right. Oh yeah, yeah, so that's that's

1716
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 1: the main thing. So there's a couple of ways you

1717
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:40,839
Speaker 1: can do this. There's some there's apps on the iPhone

1718
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 1: you can just like, you know, put video like a

1719
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 1: background to it. There's a whole bunch of just video

1720
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: apps that you can do that with, you know, like

1721
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 1: a cap cut.

1722
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 4: Have you ever heard of that cap cut Yep?

1723
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you just you just being needed. I mean,

1724
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you just add a picture. So if you

1725
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 1: down the app called cap cut, you would basically just

1726
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 1: choose a background image and then you would put your

1727
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: audio under that image and it would generate a video.

1728
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: Because the reason I'm telling you that is because with YouTube,

1729
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 1: you have to upload a video file, not an audio file.

1730
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like you're you're almost like hacking

1731
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: the system a little bit, but not really, It's not

1732
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 1: like you're doing anything wrong. It's just YouTube wants you

1733
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:23,600
Speaker 1: to have some sort of background video. So if you

1734
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:26,479
Speaker 1: just upload any sort of photo or picture or whatever,

1735
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 1: even even it's something you can create on Canva. Have

1736
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 1: you heard of that.

1737
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 13: Canvava?

1738
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 1: Yep, Canva c a n va. So I would. So

1739
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 1: here's what I would do. So take your audio, take

1740
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 1: your your take, sorry, start at cap cut, download that file,

1741
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 1: download that app, have that on your phone. Okay, then

1742
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to Canva. You can download that app

1743
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: on your phone and create an image. So you're you're

1744
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: going to create a thumbnail image for this video. So

1745
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: let's say your barbershop song is about you know, the

1746
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: wide open you know, sunset whatever you would, you know,

1747
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 1: just go on on Canva and look for a sunset

1748
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 1: image and just put that on there and then export that.

1749
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Now you have your picture, you'll have your audio from

1750
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 1: your voice memos. You go to cap cut and you

1751
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 1: merge those two together. So you basically drag and drop

1752
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: the picture in, you drag and drop the audio in,

1753
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,599
Speaker 1: and now you export it as a file. It will

1754
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,719
Speaker 1: ask you you know which aspect ratio. It'll have YouTube

1755
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,600
Speaker 1: as a preset. You export it and then you go

1756
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: to the YouTube app you upload it. That sounds like

1757
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 1: a lot, but it is not. It's very very easy,

1758
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 1: and it's very very simple, and many many people do it,

1759
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 1: and it'll just get your stuff out there on YouTube. Now,

1760
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 1: the other thing you can do, there's a website that

1761
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 1: I like called Headliner. So if you want those kind

1762
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: of like fun little waveform images that people like to

1763
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 1: have on static audio, you can use an app called

1764
01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 1: Headliner to do that. So that's called headliner dot app.

1765
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: And again I'll put all of this in the show notes.

1766
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 1: So if you're listening and you're like, wait, what, but

1767
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:10,839
Speaker 1: that's unlimited as well, so I might even try that first,

1768
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: just because I feel like the waveform moving is kind

1769
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 1: of fun to have on your audio file. If it's

1770
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 1: on YouTube, it's just a static thing. So that's what

1771
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:25,920
Speaker 1: I use to create the to create the podcast video

1772
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:28,920
Speaker 1: video podcast of this show, because it's just a static

1773
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 1: image on YouTube. But don that's what I would do,

1774
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 1: and then upload them there. You'll get unlimited and just

1775
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,599
Speaker 1: send people the link to the YouTube page. Let's see

1776
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:42,160
Speaker 1: Roadblocks coming to PlayStation. Roadblox is gonna come to PlayStation

1777
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:46,759

1783
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,679
Speaker 1: going to talk about tech for the blind. You're listening

1784
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:11,320
Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech.

1785
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:17,679
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology and

1786
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 1: uh on the line. You've got a familiar voice from

1787
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:29,440
Speaker 1: the previous show. Julian Vargas, Mobile access technology specialist passionate

1788
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 1: about empowering blind and low vision users to uh leave

1789
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 1: fuller lives with mobile devices and apps. Julian, thanks so

1790
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: much for joining me today.

1791
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:40,000
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on. Rich.

1792
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: Hey, I know that you called in the show a

1793
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:44,360
Speaker 1: long time ago and you were you were giving a

1794
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 1: suggest and I said to Kim, I said, hey, why

1795
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 1: don't we just have Julian on the show one time?

1796
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 1: So it's taken a little bit, but I finally got

1797
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 1: you on. Why don't you tell me a little bit

1798
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 1: about yourself? First off?

1799
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:58,720
Speaker 4: So, first of all, I am blind, and the reason

1800
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 4: why that's significant is because I'm not just somebody who

1801
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 4: went and learned how to use these services or things

1802
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 4: and now it's teaching it to people. I actually live

1803
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,719
Speaker 4: this stuff. I use it every day. It has made

1804
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:15,839
Speaker 4: me productive and independence. So it's just my greatest pleasure

1805
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 4: in life when I can pass it along to somebody.

1806
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,519
Speaker 1: Do you feel like technology has gotten better in recent

1807
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 1: years when it comes to assisting the blind and low vision?

1808
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:28,200
Speaker 4: It certainly has. It's not to say that there isn't

1809
01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:30,720
Speaker 4: a long way to go in certain areas, but by

1810
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:34,640
Speaker 4: and large, absolutely it has made a tremendous difference in

1811
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:38,160
Speaker 4: just about all my everyday tasks.

1812
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:42,040
Speaker 1: And so I guess explain for someone you know, because

1813
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 1: I think people you know they have an idea of

1814
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 1: what you know, blind is, what low vision is, Can

1815
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: you explain, like just kind of like give me an

1816
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 1: idea of how it impacts your life on a daily basis.

1817
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:57,400
Speaker 4: So blindness is if you think of it on a spectrum.

1818
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:01,120
Speaker 4: Very few people who are called blind really are completely

1819
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 4: and totally blind, meaning no light perception or anything. The

1820
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 4: vast majority of us have some either light perception or

1821
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 4: can see certain things. Maybe it's blurry, maybe it's only

1822
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 4: certain colors. So and some of it depends on light.

1823
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:24,680
Speaker 4: Like my condition is a hereditary disease, so it's very

1824
01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 4: similar to written pigmentosa, but it's a little different. And

1825
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,519
Speaker 4: as I age, obviously normal sight deteriors anyway, but this

1826
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 4: condition particularly is known to deteriorate. So when I was

1827
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 4: about my early to mid thirties, I started to really

1828
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 4: notice that decline and realize that I had to start

1829
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 4: adopting the blindness methods of doing things, even if I

1830
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 4: still had some usable vision, because at the end of

1831
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 4: the day, you know, if you know how to do

1832
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 4: the blindness methods, it doesn't matter how bright it is,

1833
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 4: how dark it is, what the conditions are, what colors, whatever,

1834
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 4: you can function.

1835
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you for that. That was very helpful for me.

1836
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of these features. First off, Google Lookout.

1837
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: Didn't this just recently get an update from Google?

1838
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 4: It's it's in the pipeline, you know how Google is.

1839
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 4: They announced something just like security updates, and then it

1840
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 4: determines the Google Gods determined when your device is blessed

1841
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 4: enough to receive a bit.

1842
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 1: That's so annoying, by the way, I believe me, I

1843
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 1: call it on TV. I always say whenever someone whenever

1844
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:32,280
Speaker 1: a tech company says rolling out, it's the worst two

1845
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,960
Speaker 1: words in the English language for a person that wants

1846
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:36,960
Speaker 1: that feature, because you never know when you're gonna get it.

1847
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 4: I wish they could be like Apple. You know, when

1848
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:42,360
Speaker 4: Apple announces an update, it happens and all the devices

1849
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 4: get it. You don't have to sit here and wait.

1850
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's just the impatient part of me that

1851
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:47,960
Speaker 4: likes to tinker with things.

1852
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 1: So Google Lookout, what does that do exactly?

1853
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 4: So Google Lookout is I almost think of it as

1854
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:57,759
Speaker 4: a Swiss army knife of blindness tools. There's a similar

1855
01:34:57,840 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 4: app on iOS called Being Ai from Microsoft, and it's

1856
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 4: various different things. You can have it, for example, read

1857
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:07,960
Speaker 4: text that it sees in front of the camera at

1858
01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 4: that moment. You can have it describe objects that are

1859
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 4: put in front of the camera at that moment. Or

1860
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:16,200
Speaker 4: you can take a picture of a document and perform

1861
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 4: optical character recognition and then have it read to you aloud.

1862
01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 4: You know, you can have it identify currency, you can

1863
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:24,200
Speaker 4: have it read barcode, you can have it du all

1864
01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 4: kinds of things. But lately AI has entered the equation

1865
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:31,600
Speaker 4: and it's making a huge difference in a lot of

1866
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:33,479
Speaker 4: areas because you know, at the end of the day,

1867
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 4: we're limited in what the operating system makes the thing

1868
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 4: capable of doing. But AI, it just it just blows

1869
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 4: me away the amount of details that you get in descriptions.

1870
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, so you've got Seeing Ai from Microsoft, You've

1871
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:50,160
Speaker 1: got the Google Lookout, and then you also have this one.

1872
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:52,720
Speaker 1: Now I've heard of this Be my Eyes app. Now

1873
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 1: they have be My AI.

1874
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so b my Eyes is long known for the

1875
01:35:57,080 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 4: longest time. It's volunteers that agree to help blind people

1876
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:05,040
Speaker 4: when they need a pair of vise to borrow. But

1877
01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:07,680
Speaker 4: what this does is it makes it so that now

1878
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 4: you can ask in AI. It's powered by chat GPT Force,

1879
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:14,040
Speaker 4: it's the latest and greatest that they are their offerings

1880
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 4: and you could either take a picture or share a

1881
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:21,360
Speaker 4: picture to it and it comes back with these stunning descriptions.

1882
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 4: In fact, it's very very lengthy, and a lot of

1883
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 4: times you just want to know about one particular thing

1884
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 4: in the picture. So that's what I like about it

1885
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 4: is that I can take a picture. For example, I

1886
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 4: took a picture. I'm a hammer operator, took a picture

1887
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 4: of one of my handheld radios, and of course it

1888
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 4: describes all the buttons, the layout, all that stuff. But

1889
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 4: I wanted to know what was on the display, so

1890
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 4: I could do a follow up question and say what

1891
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:48,040
Speaker 4: does the display say? And it'll either tell me what

1892
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,639
Speaker 4: the display says or tell me you know that part's glory.

1893
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 4: Could you send another picture, try to aim more towards

1894
01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 4: the display and it kind of helps you to help

1895
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:57,400
Speaker 4: it give me the information that I need.

1896
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:00,320
Speaker 1: So wait, is that going through a volunteer that looking

1897
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:01,679
Speaker 1: at this or is that through AI?

1898
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 4: That's through AI?

1899
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 1: That's that's oh wow.

1900
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:05,840
Speaker 4: Four on the other end.

1901
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 1: So that's pretty advanced, it is. That's incredible, okay, And

1902
01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 1: is that available now?

1903
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 4: It's it's available, but you have to sign up for

1904
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:16,760
Speaker 4: because it's currently in beta, but they are opening that

1905
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 4: beta to more and more people these days. So anybody

1906
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 4: who has to be My Eyes app, if you haven't already,

1907
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 4: hit the button that says to sign up for to

1908
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:28,479
Speaker 4: get on the waiting list for be my AI. I

1909
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 4: recommend doing it because then they put you on the

1910
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:32,720
Speaker 4: list and when you get chosen, they send you an

1911
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:34,839
Speaker 4: email thing welcome to be my AI.

1912
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, let's move on to iOS seventeen. Obviously, Apple

1913
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: is I feel like they've done a pretty good job

1914
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:45,280
Speaker 1: with their accessibility features. You kind of have to, you know,

1915
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 1: look for them and enable the ones that work for you.

1916
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:49,559
Speaker 1: But tell me about this new point and speak feature.

1917
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 4: So earlier on they've added things. Of all things they

1918
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 4: addeded in the Magnifier app, so you kind of have

1919
01:37:57,439 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 4: to know to look there, okay, but they've they've been

1920
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 4: doing things like like door detection and certain object detection.

1921
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 4: Well now they're adding this thing called point and Speak.

1922
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:09,719
Speaker 4: And the reason why this is helpful is, let's say

1923
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 4: I'm at a facility or someplace that has a vending

1924
01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 4: machine and it's got all these different buttons on it. Well,

1925
01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:19,880
Speaker 4: I can take a picture, or you know, I could

1926
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 4: put the camera in front of it. And from what

1927
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 4: I understand, if I put my finger over my finger

1928
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,120
Speaker 4: over one of the buttons, it's going to tell me

1929
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 4: what I'm pointing to. So this is what makes the

1930
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 4: big difference is that now I don't have to try

1931
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 4: to guess that what it read to me and hope

1932
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 4: that I hit the right one. It's going to tell

1933
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:39,880
Speaker 4: me when I'm hovering my finger over the right one.

1934
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's interesting. So you kind of point your

1935
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: finger at it. Does a camera see that?

1936
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 4: Yes? The camera season and I guess the stuff in

1937
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:52,960
Speaker 4: the app season and computes it and all that stuff

1938
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:55,559
Speaker 4: and makes it happen. The thing is, though, you need

1939
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 4: a light our equipped phone, which I currently don't have.

1940
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 4: But I am strongly considering getting the iPhone fifteen Pro

1941
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 4: this year because lightar has been around for a while

1942
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 4: and I was waiting for it to mature and to

1943
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 4: see how it is going to get put to use.

1944
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 4: And now I've seen a use case that makes sense

1945
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 4: for me to add it to my toolbox.

1946
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So light R was introduced on the iPhone twelve,

1947
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:17,720
Speaker 1: so if you have iPhone twelve, iPhone thirteen, iPhone fourteen,

1948
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:22,280
Speaker 1: or the upcoming iPhone fifteen. Yeah, they kind of introduced

1949
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 1: light AR with like all the AR stuff, and that

1950
01:39:24,680 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: never really took off with Apple. But now, of course

1951
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 1: they're doing the whole headset. So what do you think

1952
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 1: of that? The headset, by the way, do you think that's.

1953
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 4: I wish I had the bundy to spend on it,

1954
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 4: but I think there's a lot of potential with it

1955
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,960
Speaker 4: because again, and this is the beauty of an Apple

1956
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:45,640
Speaker 4: from day one. I've already seen demos of this that

1957
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:49,599
Speaker 4: we're done at WWDC where it has voiceover in it,

1958
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 4: so already it's got custom gestures hand gestures that you

1959
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 4: do to interact with it. So I think there's a

1960
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 4: lot of potential to help blind in low vision in

1961
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 4: the futures it develops, and of course as a hopefully

1962
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 4: it price comes down a little bit, becomes a little

1963
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,080
Speaker 4: more affordable to the masses.

1964
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 1: Let's help. So I was also looking at some of

1965
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:15,760
Speaker 1: the features on iOS seventeen that are coming out, and

1966
01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 1: this is not This is not necessarily an accessibility feature,

1967
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 1: but it's still handy. You can you'll be able to say, Siri,

1968
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 1: read this, and it will automatically read an article to you,

1969
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:29,559
Speaker 1: you know, on the like if you're on a web page.

1970
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:31,040
Speaker 1: So that's kind of cool.

1971
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:35,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's particularly handy for people who are high enough

1972
01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 4: in vision that don't maybe use voiceover consistently, but may

1973
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,720
Speaker 4: occasionally need some spot reading or some a little bit

1974
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 4: of help here and there. And that's what I like

1975
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:48,800
Speaker 4: features like that, or Speak Screen that are also in accessibility,

1976
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 4: so help those people.

1977
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:54,880
Speaker 1: Speak screen is inside the accessibility features. Yes, And who

1978
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 1: do you think is doing a better job? iOS or

1979
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:58,360
Speaker 1: Android with the accessibility stuff?

1980
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 4: You know, Android has come a long way, I have

1981
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:07,639
Speaker 4: to say, and I keep hoping that eventually it's going

1982
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 4: to get so good that I'm going to be able

1983
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 4: to make an Android my daily driver, because I like

1984
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 4: the idea of Android better than io s. But iOS,

1985
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 4: at least in my use case, is still the more

1986
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:21,519
Speaker 4: functional tool. I have both phones because I have to

1987
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about for each of these platforms,

1988
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:26,760
Speaker 4: so I do play with both, but I think they're

1989
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 4: both getting better. That there's one that's better at one thing,

1990
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:31,720
Speaker 4: one that's better at the other. And I think in

1991
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 4: the end, it's a beautiful world we live in now

1992
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 4: that all the major operating systems more or less has

1993
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 4: some form of accessibility built into them.

1994
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely, the fact that they're thinking about this and considering

1995
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:45,479
Speaker 1: it and actually building the tools is pretty incredible. And

1996
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 1: before we go real quick, I just want to say,

1997
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:49,519
Speaker 1: I was watching a movie the other day and you

1998
01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 1: said retinus pigments pigmentosa. Is that what you said earlier?

1999
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:58,040
Speaker 4: Mine is similar? Mine actually is called Leber's congenital amaurosis

2000
01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 4: or LCA. That's my specific condition, but the one that

2001
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 4: it's very similar to is retinitis pigmentosa.

2002
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 1: Okay rtnitis. So I never heard that term in my

2003
01:42:07,240 --> 01:42:09,240
Speaker 1: life until a couple of weeks ago. I was watching

2004
01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:12,600
Speaker 1: a movie on Netflix called Happiness for Beginners, and I

2005
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 1: don't want to give away the whole movie, but they

2006
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,559
Speaker 1: mentioned that in the movie. It's kind of a turning point,

2007
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 1: and so I anyway, I don't know if you heard

2008
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:23,839
Speaker 1: of that, but that's uh. It's it put I issues

2009
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:26,080
Speaker 1: front and center in a in a mainstream movie, which

2010
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:27,280
Speaker 1: I thought was pretty neat.

2011
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 4: That is awesome.

2012
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:32,439

2024
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:06,639
Speaker 1: I got to tell you about this new AI feature

2025
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 1: on eBay. You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome

2026
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 1: back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out

2027
01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:21,880
Speaker 1: with you talking technology, and it is time for your

2028
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:26,600
Speaker 1: favorite part of the show, the feedback segment. What I

2029
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:31,480
Speaker 1: love about this show is you sometimes you have the answers,

2030
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: the insight, the comments, the feedback that just really brings

2031
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: this show together. So I do appreciate you sending in

2032
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:43,080
Speaker 1: this information. Let me get through a couple things before

2033
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 1: I get to that. First off, eBay says that they've

2034
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:50,479
Speaker 1: got a new magical listing tool that uses AI to

2035
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:54,639
Speaker 1: make selling on eBay faster, easier, and more accurate. So

2036
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:57,760
Speaker 1: if you've ever posted anything to eBay, you know the challenge, right.

2037
01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:00,240
Speaker 1: You want to make things as specific as possible because

2038
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:02,680
Speaker 1: people want to know specifics of what you're selling. But

2039
01:44:02,840 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 1: it also takes a long time to do that. Sometimes

2040
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,720
Speaker 1: you're trying to identify the item you have, you know,

2041
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:09,599
Speaker 1: you're typing in a whole bunch of stuff and then

2042
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,439
Speaker 1: you know, so it takes a long time, and if

2043
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: you're doing a bunch of stuff, that could really get annoying.

2044
01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:19,240
Speaker 1: So eBay says they're now using AI with like eerie accuracy.

2045
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:23,400
Speaker 1: They've got this new magical listing tool which literally lets

2046
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 1: you take a picture of something and watch AI fill

2047
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 1: in the details. It can write titles, descriptions, information which

2048
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:35,320
Speaker 1: might even include the product release date, detailed category and subcategory.

2049
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: Plus it then cross references other products to suggest a

2050
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: listing price and a shipping cost. So this will really

2051
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 1: help people who may have something in their attic or

2052
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,160
Speaker 1: in their garage and don't know where to start, like

2053
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 1: a vintage radio or you know, a collectible and the

2054
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: AI is like, oh, we know exactly what this is.

2055
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:55,320
Speaker 1: Here you go, and so this is going to be

2056
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:57,840
Speaker 1: really really cool. They also say that they've rolled out

2057
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:00,679
Speaker 1: a better background removal tool.

2058
01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 13: Now.

2059
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,720
Speaker 1: I find it funny that people like images without backgrounds.

2060
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: When I was shopping on eBay and selling on eBay

2061
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 1: back in the day, I thought the background, having like

2062
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of like personality in the background was

2063
01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:12,800
Speaker 1: a good thing because then you could tell that was

2064
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:15,439
Speaker 1: a real item versus something that was just taken on

2065
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:18,200
Speaker 1: a blank background. But I guess people like, you know,

2066
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:20,599
Speaker 1: if you're taking a picture like in your garage or something,

2067
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 1: you just want to see the image whatever. This is

2068
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,360
Speaker 1: going to come out in the next couple of months

2069
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 1: as a public beta, so right now they're testing it

2070
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:31,360
Speaker 1: with employees. Let's see. Polaroid has a new instant camera,

2071
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 1: the I two six hundred dollars. Would you pay six

2072
01:45:34,880 --> 01:45:37,559
Speaker 1: hundred bucks for a Polaroid at this point? But it's

2073
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 1: got some manual controls plus some high tech stuff. It

2074
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 1: can better focus, it's got light ar auto focus, got bluetooth,

2075
01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 1: a better battery that's rechargeable. Six hundred dollars. It's the

2076
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:56,280
Speaker 1: most premium instant camera from Polaroid. Guess what film seventeen

2077
01:45:56,360 --> 01:45:59,320
Speaker 1: dollars for eight pictures. I don't know about that one

2078
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:01,879
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, I love the idea of a Polaroid.

2079
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:04,519
Speaker 1: My kids have like the little cheapy ones, but they

2080
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:06,559
Speaker 1: barely use them. I mean, it's all about the phone

2081
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:13,280
Speaker 1: website Taste bud Dot taste dash bud dot io powered

2082
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 1: by AI. You type in what's in your fridge or

2083
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 1: an ingredient or a couple that you have, and it

2084
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 1: uses chat GPT and stable diffusion to brainstorm and dream

2085
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,719
Speaker 1: up recipes. This was created by a couple of folks

2086
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:28,280
Speaker 1: who just wanted to have fun. It's kind of a

2087
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 1: cool retro looking website. Taste dash bud dot io and

2088
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 1: Duo Lingo is adding math lessons. So if you know

2089
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 1: that app for their foreign language lessons, dual Lingo is

2090
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:42,920
Speaker 1: adding math. Come October eleventh, they're going to announce more

2091
01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:46,360
Speaker 1: about that. All right, let's see question how long do

2092
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,479
Speaker 1: we have? We got a couple of minutes here, let's

2093
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:50,679
Speaker 1: go Oh gosh, I don't think we'll have time for questions,

2094
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:52,439
Speaker 1: so maybe we'll just get to the comments. All right,

2095
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,519
Speaker 1: You want to get to the first to voicemail comment.

2096
01:46:55,560 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: Let's hear the voicemail.

2097
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 14: Hi, Rich, I just want to say you're so helpful

2098
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 14: and informative and even for a gen X or slash

2099
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 14: millennial who think she knows some tech stuff. You know,

2100
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 14: can here myself free you tech savvy, but you have

2101
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:20,639
Speaker 14: a lot. And also that segment on ringing and trying

2102
01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 14: to get my parents to get a ring what's very helpful.

2103
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:26,000
Speaker 14: So you rock.

2104
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 1: Thank you well, thank you. I love that. Melissa, thanks

2105
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:33,920
Speaker 1: for leaving the voicemail. Dan email says love the radio

2106
01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 1: show podcast. My son just started a new school year.

2107
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:38,360
Speaker 1: The school bus is taking a different route because there's

2108
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 1: more kids to pick up, but it's taking more than

2109
01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 1: an hour for my son to get to school on

2110
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:44,759
Speaker 1: the bus. Is there a maps app that can coordinate

2111
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:47,559
Speaker 1: a trip with multiple stops in the most efficient manner?

2112
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 1: I tried out AI. I just popped into Claude AI

2113
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of addresses and I said, can you make

2114
01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:56,360
Speaker 1: the most efficient route? And it seemed to work, and

2115
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,639
Speaker 1: Dan said, uh, he's working on it, so that might

2116
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 1: be one way. AI is really really wild with all

2117
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. Let's see. We got to comment from Blue

2118
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 1: Green on Instagram about the privacy stuff with cars, he said,

2119
01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:12,800
Speaker 1: I switched to the Ford Mochee. It's shocking how much

2120
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 1: privacy I don't have. There's cameras everywhere. I've covered many

2121
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 1: of them. I bought an Amazon cover to cover one.

2122
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 1: It also assists with the sun. When I wear my sunglasses,

2123
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:24,600
Speaker 1: the car yells at me to watch the road, so

2124
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 1: I have to cover that up. And no, I don't

2125
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:30,880
Speaker 1: get lane assistance with that. These cars have live stream.

2126
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:35,160
Speaker 1: And then he a whole bunch of emojis, peanuts, a clown,

2127
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:39,360
Speaker 1: and a world so whatever that means. And then let's

2128
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:41,519
Speaker 1: see here. Carol says, I got a random one dollar

2129
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:43,680
Speaker 1: charge of my Spectrum account via my credit card. I

2130
01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 1: called in. They said, if I want to pay my

2131
01:48:45,160 --> 01:48:49,479
Speaker 1: account via representative, I have to pay an extra five dollars.

2132
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:51,920
Speaker 1: I said, nope, if I want to talk to a
