1
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: What's going on.

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: I'm Rich Tamiro and this is Rich on Tech, the

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: you should know about, and it's where I answer the

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: questions you send me. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: Channel five in Los Angeles. If this is your first

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: time ever listening, welcome to the show. It's a little

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: bit different for this episode because I don't have my

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: full setup, so I'm just going to do questions that

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: you send me.

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: And since this is the first show of twenty twenty.

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: One, I've gotten so many questions in the past couple

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: of weeks from you over the holidays, and so I'm

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: going to do my best to just get through a

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: whole bunch of questions and just do what you like

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: the most on this show, and that is answer questions.

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: So first off, Happy New Year. I cannot believe that

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: we are in twenty twenty one. It feels like all

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty is a blur because of the pandemic,

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: and I've been working from home for so many months

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: now that in itself is just unbelievable. As a as

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: a news reporter, you know, I always imagine that i'd

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: be in the studio and you can't really do what

24
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: I do at home, and that has been proven wrong

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: because I've been at home now for nine months and

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: it's been pretty cool. And what I like about working

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: from home is I don't know if I mentioned this previously,

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: but I love having all the things I need at

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: my disposal. So if I want to compare you know,

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: what Siri says to what Alexa says, to what Google says.

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: You know, I've got all three of those smart speakers

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: set up at the ready, ready to go. It's a

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 2: little bit different than you know, being at the TV station,

34
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: where I've got a great set and great audio and

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: great video, but I don't have access to all the

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: little things that I have at home, whereas at home,

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, the set isn't that great, the audio is

38
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: not that great, the video is not that great. But

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: I do have all of the things I need. You know,

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: if I need to, you know, shoot something in my

41
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: living room, I can do that. If I need to

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: shoot something in the kitchen, I can do that. So

43
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: it's been really interesting. It's been a learning curve and

44
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: at the same time it's been fun. And you know,

45
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: I'm not begging to go back anytime soon, because I

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: think we're going to be through this, hopefully in the

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: next six months or so with the vaccine coming up

48
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: and through. But you know, the reality is, I'm kind

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: of enjoying being at home for the time I can.

50
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: So let's get to the questions again. I don't have

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: my full setup with me, but I am going to

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: do my best to just get through these questions because

53
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: what the reality of this show is, it's all about

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: the questions, you know, and believe me, you send a

55
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: lot of them. All right, let's go, Mikey says, good morning, Rich.

56
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: I was hoping you had some advice about a situation

57
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: with my MacBook Pro. I purchased my MacBook Pro from

58
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: a best Buy in West Lebanon, New Hampshire in April

59
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: of twenty sixteen. It worked well for two years, then

60
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: it all went downhill fast. Turns out my machine is

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: actually a twenty twelve MacBook Pro. I thought I was

62
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: buying a twenty sixteen and twenty sixteen both best Buy

63
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: an can't help and best Buy I won't even let

64
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: me trade it in because it's too old, even though

65
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: I bought it in twenty sixteen. I think the date

66
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: the computers are made should be printed out on the box.

67
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: Any advice on this odd dilemma, Thank you, Mikey. That

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: is a really odd dilemma, but it's not unheard of,

69
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: and I number one agree, one hundred percent. I think

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: that the year something is made should be very prominent

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: on it. And it's interesting because when you're searching on

72
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: Amazon for stuff, sometimes there will be a little notation

73
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: that says there's a newer model of this device available,

74
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: and sometimes it will say the twenty twenty version or

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: the twenty nineteen version. But Mikey, I one hundred percent agree.

76
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: I think that with consumer electronics there should be a

77
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: year stamped on these things because sometimes you might go

78
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: through a whole purchase, and especially if you're buying something

79
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: on sale or discounted or from a third party retailer,

80
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: you may not realize that what you're buying is actually

81
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: something that was made a couple of years back. Now,

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: when you bought a twenty twelve and twenty sixteen, that

83
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: is pretty wild. That's a four year old device, and

84
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: I'm actually pretty surprised that they still had that in

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: stock or even for sale. So I don't really have

86
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: a good answer for you. And you know, I think

87
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: the answer that I have is to just if it's

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: really not working out for you, And now you're talking

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: this is.

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: An eight year old device.

91
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: I think that you just you just cut your losses here,

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: you put it on eBay, you sell it somewhere. I mean,

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: it's getting a little up there. But my wife actually

94
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: used as a computer that's almost as old, so and

95
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: you know, does what she needs. So I think that

96
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: you can still use this or someone else can find

97
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: some value in this. I think for you sounds like

98
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: you need a machine that's going to be a little

99
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: bit higher powered. So I would say, you know, put

100
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: on eBay, trade it in. You can trade it in

101
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: through the Apple website. I don't know how much you're

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: going to get for that, but you know, you and

103
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: go that route. But that is a great question, and

104
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: that's a new one I had not really I've put

105
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: some thought into this stuff, because especially when you see

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: stuff on sale, especially around the holidays, you know, if

107
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: you're seeing major discounts on these things, a lot of times, yes,

108
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: they are a little bit older. So that is a

109
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: great question. And I'm sorry that that happened to you,

110
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: But It's a great lesson for future reference to always

111
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: think about the birth of the device that you are purchasing.

112
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Just see when it was made and make sure that

113
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,119
Speaker 2: that is the latest model. With the iPhone, it's pretty

114
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: simple because we.

115
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Know the numbers and the models.

116
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: But when you're talking about laptops, it's not always that clear.

117
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna have to look at my MacBook box

118
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: and see what numbers are on there, because that is

119
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: an interesting thing. And but the other thing is a

120
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: lot of us are buying stuff online, so you do

121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: need to kind of look at those little things on Amazon.

122
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: I know, if you scroll down.

123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: There's a little section that says date first available. So

124
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: for instance, with the with the iPad, that's a really

125
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 2: tricky one because the iPad, you know, they don't really

126
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: go by like right now, it says new Apple iPad,

127
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: latest model eighth generation. So I mean, you know, you

128
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: might not know what you know if it didn't say

129
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: latest model, eighth generation.

130
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, is that the new one? Like it

131
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: should say twenty twenty iPad. But if you scroll down

132
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: on Amazon, there's usually a little section that says date

133
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: first available. I'm gonna see now this is a very

134
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: uh okay uh date.

135
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: Release date nine fifteen, twenty twenty, so that gives me

136
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: an indication that this is the eighth generation, is.

137
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: The latest model.

138
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: So another place to check I always talk about this

139
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: is the MacRumors. They do a buyer's guide, so Buyer's

140
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: Guide dot MacRumors dot com is another good place to look.

141
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: But check those out, all right, good question. Sorry that

142
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: happened to you, Mikey, but thanks for writing in. I

143
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: do appreciate it, all right. Phil A writes in, Hey, Rich,

144
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: can you recommend an alternative to WhatsApp? I feel like

145
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: I need to delete my account after reading about it's

146
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: new privacy policy. Am I overreacting? Let's see here basically

147
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: seeking a chap at with video functionality that I can

148
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: use with my iPhone friends. Thanking it, thanks in advance,

149
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: Happy New Year.

150
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Now.

151
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: I've been getting a lot of questions about this WhatsApp

152
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: you know, new privacy policy, and Facebook owns WhatsApp, they

153
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: purchased it, and Facebook what they've been doing is slowly

154
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: but surely they are just merging everything into one, you know,

155
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: cross platform, whether you use Facebook, whether you use WhatsApp,

156
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 2: whether you use Instagram, whether you use Messenger, it's all

157
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: kind of working together. And you know, that makes sense

158
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: for them from a business standpoint to just kind of

159
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: merge everything and not keep it all separate. But for users,

160
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: especially with WhatsApp. You know a lot of WhatsApp users

161
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: were on there and then Facebook purchased them. They said

162
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: they were going to keep things primarily the same. That

163
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily happen, as we see over and over in

164
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: the tech world. You know, these companies they buy something

165
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: and they say nothing's going to change, and then sometimes

166
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: are ninety nine percent of the time things change. And

167
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: we saw this in a big way with Instagram. Right now,

168
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: I'm reading that book No Filter, which is all about

169
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: Instagram and how it started, and you know, the whole

170
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: thing is, you know, I'm reading between the lines of

171
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: why the founders left Facebook, because it's pretty clear that

172
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: the changes that Facebook wanted to continue to make to Instagram,

173
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: the founders of Instagram were just not comfortable with, and

174
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: that's why they eventually left. And you know, a spoiler

175
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: there a spoiler alert, But I mean, I think we

176
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 2: all know that. But as I'm reading the book, I'm

177
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: reading through between the lines and realizing this is why

178
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: they're leaving. So What's app kind of the same thing

179
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: now the let's see, So it says the new privacy

180
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: policy actually, according to PC mag won't affect WhatsApp users

181
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: who decided to stop sharing data with Facebook back when

182
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: the option was available in twenty sixteen. So they will

183
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: continue to honor the opt out if you opted out back.

184
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: In the day.

185
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: But they say, you can check in your setting Account

186
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: settings tab, look in the download your data function and see.

187
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: But the reality is what's happening is WhatsApp is going

188
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: to have a new privacy policy that's going to share

189
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: more data with Facebook. And I think it's going to

190
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: be kind of the same data that Facebook collects throughout

191
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: all of their other apps.

192
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: And I think they're just kind of aligning all those things.

193
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: Now, if you have a Facebook account, I would say, honestly,

194
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: you know, what's the difference if you use Instagram and

195
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 2: you're using Facebook. I think, Phil, you know, you're already

196
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 2: putting yourself out there with their privacy policies. So WhatsApp

197
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: is just going to be more in line with those

198
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: privacy policies.

199
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Now. To answer your question, if you.

200
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: Want to delete your accoun you can fully do that.

201
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons why people like WhatsApp

202
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: is that the messages are end to end encrypted as

203
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: far as I know, and so let me just let

204
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: me confirm that and to end, I think that the

205
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: yeah WhatsApp is yeah. So WhatsApp is end to end encrypted,

206
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: which means that even WhatsApp can't read the contents of

207
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: your messages, your photos, and your videos. So that's that's

208
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: why a lot of people are attracted to it because

209
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: it's secure, but the fact that it's also owned by

210
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: Facebook gives people some pause. So answer your question, I

211
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: would look at two things. I use an app called

212
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: Telegram and it's a nice cross platform app, but you're

213
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: talking about video functionality, so scratch that.

214
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: So the two I would.

215
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: Recommend is I would say Google Duo. But again, I

216
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: mean that's Google. So you know who has the better

217
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: privacy policy Google or Facebook.

218
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you've got that going on.

219
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: So Google Duo is a great cross cross platform app

220
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: that does video chatting with iPhone and also Android.

221
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: The other one you.

222
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: Can look at that's really secure is Signal. So if

223
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: you are worried about privacy, I think that Signal is

224
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: probably going to be your best bet because Signal is

225
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: the most secure chat app, and I guess they also

226
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: do video I have not used it, but they also

227
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: do video chat as far as I can tell, So

228
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: I would say maybe to switch to Signal. Now here's

229
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: the thing that's really tricky is that most of the

230
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: challenge is getting your friends that have iPhones to use

231
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: these other apps. You've already gotten them to sign up

232
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: for WhatsApp, Now you have to get them to sign

233
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: up for another app. And I find that because Facebook

234
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: or not Facebook, because FaceTime is built into the iPhone,

235
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: most iPhone users are like what now. I think the

236
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: pandemic has helped that situation just a little bit because

237
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: they know, you know, they're more open to different apps.

238
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: And I think Zoom is also a fine alternative as well.

239
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: But the problem with Zoom is that it's a little

240
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: bit too much. I think Google Duo is more of

241
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: just a video chat app. So oh, you're saying, I'm

242
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: basically seeking a chap at with video functionality, So that

243
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: could mean two things. I'm not sure you meant you

244
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 2: want to be able to send videos or you want

245
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 2: to be able to chat with video chat, so either

246
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: way Telegram, which is what I used, they will do that.

247
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: I think that when it comes to video chat, it's good,

248
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: but I'm not sure it's the best.

249
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: But they do let you send videos. So good question.

250
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: Thank you, Phil, and yeah, appreciate that. All right, let's

251
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: move on to the next question. Tom says, Hey, Rich,

252
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: I hope you're doing well. I have a question for you.

253
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: I have to transcribe one of our production meetings from

254
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: a Zoom session we had. I remember you reporting about

255
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: an application in which you could take an audio file

256
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: and convert it to a printed outline. Do you remember that, Tom,

257
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 2: I sure do. And there's a lot of ways you

258
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: can do this. The simplest way I think is going

259
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: to be well, there's a couple of ways. Let me.

260
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: Let me explain what I mentioned into my piece on KTLA.

261
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: So this whole thing came about because there's a really,

262
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: really good app built into the Pixel phones that is

263
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: called Recorder, And this thing is like pure magic.

264
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: You set it up to record.

265
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: And you see in real time on your screen everything

266
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: that's being said. And this is a life saver for

267
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: me as a journalist because I can set up my

268
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: Pixel and if I'm on an online call and I'm

269
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: you know, in a briefing or something. I can literally

270
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: have it transcribe everything that everyone's saying and have a

271
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: nice record and go back, you know, oh wait, did

272
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: they say sixteen gigs or ten gigs. It's just it's

273
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: really amazing. And I could also transcribe my interviews. So

274
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: if I'm feeling a little lazy and I've got a

275
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: long interview that I want to transcribe, I can just

276
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: play it and the Google Phone will listen to it

277
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: and transcribe it.

278
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: And it's pretty magical.

279
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 2: And if you're a college student or even any student,

280
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: you can put this in class.

281
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: And it can be recording.

282
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: And the cool thing is wherever you're recording, you can

283
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: tap and go right to that spot in the recording.

284
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: You know, you can tap the text and you can

285
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: listen to exactly what that person said. I believe the iPad.

286
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: Does the iPad do that? Something does that? A lot

287
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: of the note taking apps. Oh I think the note

288
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: from Samsung does that as well. But the reality is

289
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: there's a lot of ways to do this. Tom that's

290
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: just one, but you have to have a pixel phone.

291
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: I've tried installing that app on other androids, and it

292
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: does work, especially on Samsung's. So if you find the

293
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: APK for that app and you're comfortable doing that, you

294
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: can install it what they call sideload it, and it

295
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: works just fine on the Samsungs. On the OnePlus devices,

296
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't work as well in my experience, but you know,

297
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: perhaps that's changed. But that's one way of doing it.

298
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: The other way is an app called Otter. This is

299
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: an app that works on both iPhone and Android, and

300
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: it's called otter dot Ai. And again you can listen

301
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: to your you know, a lecture, a meeting, an interview,

302
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: and it will transcribe that pretty much in real time,

303
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: and it works pretty well. I believe that you would

304
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: be able to upload, you know, upload a a audio

305
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: file into the app and let it transcribe that too.

306
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: I've not personally done that, but I'm sure you could.

307
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: The limitation on that one is that you get six

308
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: hundred minutes of transcription for free, so that is the

309
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: main thing. Oh yeah, import or sync recordings from services

310
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: including Zoom, so that's another one I would check out,

311
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: But you only get six hundred minutes per month, which

312
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: is a lot. I mean, depends how long this thing

313
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: is that you're talking about. The thing that I think

314
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: is The other one is called descript D S c

315
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: R I p T, and that one is really full feature.

316
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: This is a full app. You can download it to

317
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: your desktop. It's from Andrew Mason, the guy who started

318
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: what was that gosh it Evading Me the.

319
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Deal site, I can't remember.

320
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: It was out of Chicago, groupon he started groupon and

321
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: then he left there and now he started this one

322
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: called the Script very full featured. Again, you do have

323
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: to pay for that one. I think you get a

324
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: certain amount every month for free. Let's see how much

325
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: you get three hours of transcription just one time. So

326
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: you might be able to try this and see how

327
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: it works. But if you want to upgrade to something

328
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: like Creator or Pro, they are going to charge you.

329
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: But that really integrates nicely as well into Zoom. The

330
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: other one is if you have a Microsoft three sixty

331
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: five account.

332
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: This is the one that I thought was pretty cool.

333
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: So if you open up Word on the web, you

334
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: can upload a file into Word, look for the transcribe

335
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: button and it will take a couple of minutes and

336
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: transcribe the entire file for you and I think if

337
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: you are working for a company or you have somehow

338
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: have access to Microsoft Office three six y five on

339
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: the web, that would be a really nice way to

340
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: do that. So again, as a as a reporter that's

341
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: always transcribing interviews, I go back and forth. Sometimes I

342
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: think it's really great to have everything transcribed. Other times

343
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: I just do it quickly on the fly. You know,

344
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: if I'm not transcribing the entire thing. Most of the

345
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: time when I'm writing a story, I don't need to

346
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: transcribe the entire interview. I'll listen to the entire interview

347
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: for what I call our selects, and then I will

348
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 1: kind of pick which ones I think are the best,

349
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: and then I will actually go through and you know,

350
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: just transcribe on the fly the ones that I need

351
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: the most.

352
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for answering, Tom, and or thanks for

353
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: the question, Tom.

354
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that.

355
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 2: All right, Moving on here, Jeffrey, can you tell them

356
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: out of sorts here a little bit? So I don't

357
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: have my standard setup, so it's a little bit different.

358
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 2: You know, I don't have my sound effects and all

359
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: my little things, and my timer keeps the timer I'm

360
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: using for the podcast just keeps going dark on my iPhone,

361
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: so I have to keep like unlocking it to see.

362
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: Don't you think that on the iPhone when you're running

363
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: a stopwatch, it should keep the screen lit, Like I

364
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: would think that that would be a thing, because if

365
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: you're actively running a stopwatch, maybe there's a time out

366
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: after a certain period. But like you know, if you're

367
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: running a stopwatch, don't you want to see like what

368
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: you're recording? Uh? Jeffrey says, good afternoon, sir, and happy

369
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: New Year. Do you know how to use an iPad

370
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: as a second monitor of the iMac? I know it's

371
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 2: called sidecar, but I'm not sure how it works.

372
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: Thank you.

373
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: So I don't use this a whole lot, but I

374
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: do use it sometimes. It's a great feature. But I

375
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: also just forget that it's even available. But it's a

376
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 2: feature that's built into I believe it was as last

377
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: Mac operating system. The new one is called big sur which, oh,

378
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: I finally updated my computer to big sur so I

379
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: wiped my computer clean and oh gosh, this was Actually

380
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: it was kind of a little bit of a nightmare

381
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: because there is some real heavy security built into the

382
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: new map books. It's mine specifically has this like security chip.

383
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: I think it's called the T two or Apple loves

384
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 2: to name their chips, but it's this chip that for

385
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: security purposes. It makes it so that someone can't just

386
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: like straight up erase your Mac and like start over.

387
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: It's really tricky.

388
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: So I did that to my Mac and next thing,

389
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 2: you know, it would not let me install the new

390
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 2: operating system because I needed to authenticate that.

391
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: And so what I had to end up.

392
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: Doing is I had to reinstall the previous operating system,

393
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: and then I had to create an account, keep that active,

394
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: and then go in and somehow I forget now that

395
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: I did it, it's like I got through it and

396
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 2: I forgot.

397
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: But it was like it was quite the process.

398
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: And I got through it, but it threw me for

399
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: a loop because I was like, oh my gosh, I

400
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: can't believe that I just had to erase my whole computer,

401
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 2: reinstall the old operating system, and now go back to

402
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: do the new operating system. It was kind of a

403
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: it was a bunch of extra steps, but I got

404
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: it to work. But word to the wise, I wish

405
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: I could remember what the problem was, but I tweeted

406
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: about it, so it's on my Twitter at rich on Tech.

407
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: But it was it took about four or five times

408
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: as long as it should have. Let's put it that way.

409
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 2: But Sidecar is built in, and the way I see

410
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: it is that it's super super easy. You just have

411
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: a iPad next to your computer and it will show

412
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: up in the display settings and you just go in

413
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: there and it will just show up and you just say,

414
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: you know, choose your iPad from the menu when it

415
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 2: says connect to and there you go. On Catalina. You

416
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: can use the airplay icon and it depends how you

417
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: want to do it. Sidecar you can mirror to your

418
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: other display, or you can extend your display. But again

419
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: this does require the use of an iPad. So but

420
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: once you do it, it's really cool and it's very simple,

421
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: and you can also do it if you don't see

422
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: the settings for Sidecar in your menu bar, just go

423
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: into your settings, your system preferences, and you'll see a

424
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: little icon for Sidecar, or you can just search for

425
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: Sidecar in your settings and you know, set it up

426
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: that way.

427
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Or your system preferences. I should say, but it's a.

428
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: Really handy thing. I you know, I love the idea

429
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: of multiple monitors. I just don't really use them because

430
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: I have this little program that I really like on

431
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: my computer called Rectangle, and it kind of like I

432
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: can arrange my windows on my computer like either the left,

433
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 2: the right, the top, the bottom, the center. It all

434
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: kind of snaps into these you know, pre defined areas,

435
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: and so I find that pretty handy. And again that

436
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 2: app is called Rectangle for the Mac. But you know,

437
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: it just depends what you like. If I had maybe

438
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: if I was like not mobile and I kind of

439
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: always had my desks set up a certain way, I

440
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: think the multiple monitors would be kind of cool because

441
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: you can keep like, you know, certain things like Twitter

442
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: on one monitor and other things on other monitor and

443
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: it just kind of stays all in one place. But

444
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: for me, I'm always moving around, and so I can't

445
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: really stick to one standard setup.

446
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: But that's what sidecar is.

447
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: And oh, I don't know what's going on with me,

448
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: because you're saying, do you know how to use an

449
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 2: iPad as a second monitor of the Mac? And you

450
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: literally said that, and I keep saying you need an iPad,

451
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: but yes, you know that, Jeffrey. All right, by the way,

452
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: thank you for one hundred thousand followers on Instagram. If

453
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: I had a sound effect, I would play it, but

454
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: over the holidays it was kind of a personal goal.

455
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: Before the end of the year.

456
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: I didn't really say that to anyone, but I noticed

457
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 2: that my Instagram was getting up towards one hundred thousand followers,

458
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 2: and I was just like, is this really gonna hit

459
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: it before the end of the year, And sure enough

460
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: it did. And as I stand one hundred k on

461
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: my Instagram at rich On Tech, what does that mean?

462
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't really mean much. I mean, it's really just symbolic.

463
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 2: But to me personally, it means that what I feel

464
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: like I've been doing on Instagram, which is giving my

465
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: followers the best information I can give them in a

466
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: you know, not in a you know. What I try

467
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 2: to do is is not play games. You know, I'm

468
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: trying to just be myself. And when I see information

469
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: I think you should know about, I put it on there,

470
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 2: whereas I just, you know, I don't want to play

471
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: a lot of games. And sometimes, you know, it's a

472
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: lot of my I mix a lot of stuff like

473
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: what I say in my in my because there used

474
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: to be this struggle with Instagram because I used to

475
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: not post anything tech related. It was just basically like

476
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: personal stuff. And then you know, then I got into

477
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: like posting more tech stuff and more tips and you know,

478
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: like just using it in a lot of different ways.

479
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: And so now in my bio, I say sharing cool

480
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: new gadgets, tech tips, and my life. So my life

481
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 2: part is the part that throws someone sometimes because they're like, oh,

482
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: I followed you for that cool tech post, and now

483
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: I see a picture of your kids.

484
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 1: What gives you know?

485
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: If you don't want to see the full rich DeMuro,

486
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: you know, like all different aspects of my life, then

487
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: you know that's not the place to follow me. But

488
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: the reality is I want to show a three sixty

489
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: of here's who I am, here's a cool tech tip,

490
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: but also here's what I'm doing on the weekend with

491
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: my family, because I am a normal person that has

492
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 2: a regular life, and you know, I feel like I

493
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: like seeing that with people that I follow, and I

494
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 2: like to see what they like, what they're drinking, what

495
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: they're eating, where they're going, what they're doing with their family.

496
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: Like some of those posts are really interesting to me

497
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: because I'm always curious how other people are living and

498
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: you know, especially people that I follow that are tech

499
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: people or public figures, like it's always fascinating, but I

500
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: also follow them for a reason. I want to see

501
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: what they're sharing when it comes to tech and when

502
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 2: it comes to reviews. So for me, I kind of

503
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: share all those different things. And I feel like the

504
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 2: one hundred k means that it's working. You like what

505
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: you're seeing.

506
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: And yes, you know, a bunch of.

507
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: People on follow me every day. Bunch of people follow

508
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 2: me every day, So I'll just keep doing what I doing.

509
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 2: I'll just keep doing what I do and hopefully we'll

510
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: grow to even more than one hundred thousand folks on there.

511
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: But thank you for following me on there. If you're

512
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: not at rich On Tech is where I'm at, and

513
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: be prepared for good stuff, fun stuff, interesting stuff, personal stuff,

514
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: sappy stuff, and everything in between. Just sint To writes

515
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 2: in good Morning. A lot of people write me good morning.

516
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: This is an ongoing joke in this show because they're

517
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: watching the morning news, where I primarily appear on TV,

518
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: and then they say, oh, yeah, I want to write

519
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: that guy, and then they write an email and they

520
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: say good morning. When I read these things, all throughout

521
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 2: the day. But so I like to read the good

522
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: morning because I think it is a trend that a

523
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: lot of people. It's like an inside joke if you

524
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: listen to this show a lot.

525
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: Just since it says good morning.

526
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 2: I'm curious if there is something out there that would

527
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: allow for a traditional keyboard to be used with a

528
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: cell phone, specifically wanting to be able to use it

529
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: when posting lots of content on Instagram without killing my thumbs.

530
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: This is a funny question and just sint to As

531
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: far as I know, almost any bluetooth keyboard will work

532
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 2: with the iPhone. So you can just get a Bluetooth keyboard,

533
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: pair it up to the iPhone and it will work.

534
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: In fact, I've done some videos on this with I

535
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: did a mouse where I connected a mouse to the

536
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: iPhone and that was a that was a fun little video.

537
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 2: But I think I connected I know I've connected him

538
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: in the past because specifically, my father in law wanted

539
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: this solution and I ended up getting or recommending him

540
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard that was kind of a travel

541
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 2: keyboard or so I forget. It was very specific, but

542
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 2: it had a place where you can actually stick your

543
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: iPhone like. It kind of had a little ridge in

544
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: there that would let you stick your iPhone almost like

545
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: a am almost like.

546
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: A tribe not a tripod. What do you call that?

547
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what you call it, but it was

548
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: just a keyboard that would just yeah, I guess it

549
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 2: was a tablet keyboard, iPad keyboard. Oh. Here it is

550
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: Bluetooth Multi Device keyboard K four eighty. And there you

551
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: have it. Switch typing between your computer, phone and tablet.

552
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: It's only fifty bucks. You compare up to three devices

553
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: and there's a little gosh, I don't know what you

554
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: call a ridge that you just put your phone in

555
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 2: and it's it's really simple and easy.

556
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: And again you can just put any of those.

557
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: Devices in there and it works now if you Oh,

558
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: it's also weather proof.

559
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: Wow, that's pretty cool.

560
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: The other thing that you can do is if you're

561
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: on an Android device, I believe, you can just plug

562
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: a USB keyboard right into the bottom of that device

563
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: and it should recognize it as long as you know.

564
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: It depends.

565
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 2: Every Android manufacturer is different, but for most of them,

566
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: you know, if they use the standard you know, USB

567
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: connector I forget it's called like OTG or something. It

568
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: will it will recognize that keyboard. But that's another thing

569
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: you can do. And I think this little keyboard I'm

570
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 2: talking about as well on the Logitech one, the K

571
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: four eighty also says it works with Android, so you

572
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: can use it. Now do I recommend it?

573
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

574
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're posting, if your job is to

575
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 2: post Instagram content, maybe you need that.

576
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: And I think that one of these keyboards would be great.

577
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: But I post a lot of content on Instagram. No

578
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 2: more than one post a day generally, because that's like

579
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 2: the unspoken Instagram rule. I don't know who came up

580
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 2: with that, but it's like, why is it that you

581
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: can only post one thing on Instagram a day.

582
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

583
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: I've broken that rule sometimes and I'm still here to

584
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: talk about it. But you know, there you have it,

585
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: So find the keyboard, see which works for you. But

586
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: I just you know the other little trick I use,

587
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: and this is a little inside baseball, but you know,

588
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: the iPhone and the mac computers they work so well together.

589
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: You can copy something on your Mac computer or your

590
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: iPad and then you can paste on your iPhone. So

591
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: if you don't know about that you can literally just

592
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: if you have a Mac computer that's on the same

593
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: iCloud account as your iPhone or your iPad, you can

594
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: literally hit command C on your computer and then paste

595
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: on your iPhone and it will paste from your computer. Now,

596
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: it's only for a certain amount of time, and the

597
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: two devices. I don't know if they have to be

598
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: in proximity of each other, but I think that might

599
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: be one of the requirements. But it works, and it

600
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: does it and it's a great little hack because sometimes

601
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: I'll type things out on my computer because it's simpler,

602
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: and then I'll just paste it on my iPhone and

603
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: it works really well. All right, Moving on to Marta,

604
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: Marta says, hey, Rich, thanks for all the information you

605
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: give out day after day. As one of the older generation,

606
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: I have learned a lot from you. Thank you. Now

607
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: a question Adobe flash Player. Should I delete it? As suggested?

608
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 2: What will take its place? And she looks like she

609
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: pasted in something that says since Adobe will no longer

610
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: be supporting flash Player after December thirty first, twenty twenty

611
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: and Adobe will block flash content from running in flash

612
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: Player beginning January twelfth, twenty twenty one. Adobe strongly recommends

613
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: all users immediately uninstalled flash Player to help protect their systems.

614
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: Many thanks for your help, Marta. Yeah, I would delete

615
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: it from your system because there is a good chance

616
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: that it could be a vulnerability on your system if

617
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: you still have the flash player installed. And if you

618
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: just look at flash player, Adobe flash uninstalled, if you

619
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: look at their official uninstalled instructions. So I would go

620
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: to Adobe flash Player, search for Adobe flash Player end

621
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: of life and make sure you're on Adobe's website and

622
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: they will give you the instructions on how to uninstall

623
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: it from your computer, which is a you know, whether

624
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: it's a MAC or a PC. So I would uninstall

625
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: it because it's a potential risk because if the software

626
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: is not being updated, that means that hackers can exploit

627
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: any vulnerabilities that they find in that software because it's

628
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: not being updated. So there's no security patches that are

629
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: being administered to this software via a software update, and

630
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: I don't know when it says no longer supported. So

631
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: if there was a major major security up issue with it,

632
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: perhaps they would issue some sort of software update. We've

633
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: seen that happen in the past with Windows, even though

634
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: they said we're not supporting this Windows anymore. But then

635
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: when something really bad happens, they said, okay, well we'll

636
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: go ahead and one last time, we're going to update

637
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: this and patch it, just because we know it's a

638
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: major problem. And a lot of you are still running

639
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: that software, and I imagine a lot of people probably

640
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: still have Flash Player on their system, even though to

641
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: answer your second question, what will take its place? Honestly, Marta,

642
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percent of the web has not

643
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: been running Flash for a very long time, and what

644
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: we use now is called HTML five and there's a

645
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: lot of new open standards that just work much better

646
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: than Flash. And honestly, most of the time Flash is

647
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: just not used. You know, it's not used on YouTube,

648
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: it's not used on all the video sites. It's not

649
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: it's pretty much just not used anywhere anymore. I think

650
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: Farmville was the last holdout, and I think that closed

651
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: down as well as of January first, because they said,

652
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: peace out. We built this whole game and Flash and

653
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: we're done. There might be some specialized applications of Flash

654
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: that you might still need for something that you run,

655
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: like an app that you know your company might have,

656
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: and I think you'd be instructed from your company how

657
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: to get around that if that's necessary. But for ninety

658
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: nine point nine percent of the people on the open web,

659
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: most of the stuff that you are that are your

660
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: running or encountering or have been, you know, running into

661
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: over the past couple of years, has not been flash based.

662
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: It's just not.

663
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: And so I don't think that you're gonna see a

664
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: big issue with flash going away.

665
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: And I would delete off my computer.

666
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: And Steve Jobs he predicted this many many years ago.

667
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: He famously decided not to support flash on the iPhone.

668
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 2: And guess what if I had my ding bell, I

669
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: would say that's right, because he was right.

670
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: So long ago.

671
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: He saw the web moving to different, more secure, more

672
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: open standards, and the iPhone really helped push that along

673
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: because the iPhone, he said, you know what, we're gonna

674
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: run apps, and we're gonna run web browser stuff, and

675
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: you know, we're not gonna support the flash stuff because

676
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: it's just it just isn't in line with what we

677
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: want on the iPhone. And I think Android ran flash

678
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 2: for a very long time, and that was a big

679
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: delineation between the two platforms, because if he had a Samsung,

680
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: it was like, well, I could still run all these

681
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 2: Flash things. If you're on iPhone, it would say sorry,

682
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: not supported. But nowadays we're just not seeing that problem.

683
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 2: So Marta, I know I say, great question for everyone,

684
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: but that is truly a great and very timely question

685
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: right now because a lot of people are getting I

686
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: got the email from Adobe, and as far as I know,

687
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: Flash is not on my computer because it was not

688
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: installed when I reinstalled. This is why I like to

689
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 2: do a clean install of my operating system every year,

690
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: because I like to clean off all the junk. I

691
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: install so many programs throughout the year to you know,

692
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 2: test new things, test new features, and so I like

693
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: at the end of the year when they come out

694
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: with the new Mac operating system, to wipe my system

695
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: clean and start fresh. And it feels like a new

696
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: computer when you do that and you get rid of

697
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: all this stuff. The downside, and I've talked about this

698
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: in the podcast, is that there's so many little programs

699
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: I have to go through and reinstall. Yeah, it's a pain,

700
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: but it's definitely worth it. And I like the fresh

701
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: start because it challenges me to kind of take nothing

702
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 2: for granted. So, for instance, I switched to Edge last year,

703
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 2: towards the end of the year, I was using Microsoft

704
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: Edge as my web browser, and I will report that

705
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: I have gone back to Chrome. I tried when I

706
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: first installed Big sur I did try to use Safari

707
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: as my web browser and not install Chrome, but I

708
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 2: just found that there's too many things I like about Chrome,

709
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 2: and I will admit it's sluggish. It's noticeably slower on

710
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: this Mac which is a really you know, a nice

711
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 2: high end MacBook Pro, and Chrome just just drags it.

712
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: It really does.

713
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: Safari is fast, it's speedy, but it's just kind of

714
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 2: not what I want. And it had all the extensions

715
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 2: I wanted, but it was just like, it doesn't work

716
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 2: the way that I like.

717
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: And so for that reason, I just went back to Chrome.

718
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to deal.

719
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: With it, and it's gotten a little bit better, you know,

720
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 2: as my computer's been on for a couple of months

721
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 2: or a month now of the new operating system, but

722
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: still feels a little weird, all right, Connie says, Hey,

723
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: Rich I watch you on Channel five all the time

724
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: and enjoy all your information. Well, thank you, Connie. I

725
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: hope you and your family had a fabulous holiday season,

726
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: which I did thank you like to know about the

727
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 2: new Samsung Galaxy S twenty one doesn't have the same

728
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: feature as the iPhone eleven. The feature that I'm looking

729
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: for is picture on picture, where you can be walking

730
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 2: and talking to the phone and it shows you but

731
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 2: the background is what you're looking at. I'm a realtor

732
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: and can benefit from this feature tremendously. I've had an

733
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: Android for many years and I really do not want

734
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 2: to switch to an iPhone. Can you help me out

735
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 2: with this question to get answered, I don't like a

736
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: big phone right now. I've got the Samsung Galaxy S eight. Yes,

737
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 2: I know it's old. That's why I need a new one.

738
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: I'm waiting for the one that has the feature with

739
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: the camera. I look forward to your reply. I have

740
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 2: a blessed day, Connie.

741
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: This is a question that is okay, So a couple things.

742
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: First off, what you're referring to is a feature called

743
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: double Take, and this is an app that they introduced.

744
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 2: I think it was with iOS thirteen. They showed off

745
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: this feature that allows you to use both cameras, so

746
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: you can choose the combination of cameras and you can

747
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: record two of them at the same time either side

748
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 2: by side picture and picture where you're off to the corner,

749
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 2: or you can just record two discrete streams and work

750
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: with them later and you can go you know, front

751
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: camera plus rear camera or front camera plus wide angle,

752
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 2: or you can do wide angle plus rear camera or

753
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: telephoto plus wide you know, just take your pick of

754
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 2: the two cameras.

755
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: And this is a really cool feature.

756
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: In fact, one of the guys I like on YouTube

757
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 2: uses this as his primary way of shooting. He's called

758
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: flave City, and it's he does all kind of like

759
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 2: he goes into a grocery store and he records himself

760
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: looking at the food and specifically the food label, and

761
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: he kind of talks about what's good and what's bad

762
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: on that food label. And so you always see him

763
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: in the corner and then see the food label on

764
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: the other side. You know, the big the big picture

765
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 2: is the food label. The little picture in the corner,

766
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: Pip is him. And so this got me to thinking,

767
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: I did try this a couple of weeks ago with

768
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: a Boba tea making robot, and I recorded myself with

769
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: the robot and I kind of did it play by

770
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: play where I'm in the corner talking about, you know,

771
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 2: the play by play of what the robot's doing.

772
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: And I uploaded it and I thought it.

773
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: Was pretty cool. You know, it's like, you know, it's different.

774
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: It was the first time I tried it, and then

775
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 2: I tried it again last week. What was the video

776
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 2: I did? I have to look at my Instagram because

777
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember what this was. It was, Oh,

778
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 2: this new coffee machine I got, which, by the way,

779
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I am in love with my new

780
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: coffee machine now I bought it. I actually bought three

781
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 2: coffee machines through this pandemic. The first was a Briville.

782
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 2: It was called Grind Control, and I liked it because

783
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: it made a fresh cup of coffee by grinding the

784
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 2: beans and then brewing them. And we had that for

785
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: about eight months, and honestly, it was good, but it

786
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: wasn't as good as I wanted. I was imagining like

787
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: a super fresh cup of coffee. It never truly tasted

788
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: that way. And then the grinds got stuck and I

789
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, this thing kind of broke and yes,

790
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to go through the you know, year warranty

791
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: or whatever and kind of get it fixed and then

792
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: you know, put on eBay for someone else to use

793
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: for parts or whatever, or maybe even they just want

794
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: a coffee machine. But it got me to thinking, you

795
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: know what, I kind of you know, I was trying

796
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: to get away from the cake cup because I felt

797
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: it tasted stale. But cakeup is just so easy. And

798
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: what that machine taught me was that the cake cup

799
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: is just a whole lot easier. So then I bought

800
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 2: this machine that was a cake cup side by side

801
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: with just you know, a brewer machine that you just

802
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 2: put ground beans in. You have to grind them before,

803
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: but just like a drip brewer. So it was a

804
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: drip brewers plus the cake cup. And I thought, you

805
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: know what, I'll use the cakeup during the week to

806
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: be fast, and on the weekends, I'll use the drip

807
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 2: and I'll make a pot for my wife and I.

808
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: But the problem is I set this whole machine up

809
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: and it was leaking. And I looked on Amazon, and

810
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: sure enough, like half the review said, oh yeah, this

811
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: machine leaks. So I brought it back to best Buy

812
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 2: and as I was doing my research, I found this

813
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 2: machine from instant Pot of all companies, you know, the

814
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 2: one that makes the instant pot that everyone loves. This

815
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 2: is called instant Pod and apparently they only sell it

816
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 2: at Walmart. But it is a CA cup slash an espresso.

817
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 2: Now they don't use the word in espresso. It's just

818
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 2: the Espresso pods, but they're an Espresso pods. And I

819
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: thought to myself, Oh my gosh, this is amazing. This

820
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: is the best of both worlds. During the week, I

821
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: can make the ca cup and then in the afternoons

822
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: I can make an espresso. And let me tell you,

823
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 2: this machine is so amazing. I absolutely love it. Yes,

824
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 2: I'm using you know, the ground things that are already

825
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 2: you know, pre made whatever. But I gotta tell you,

826
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: I'm loving making my cakeup in the morning and my

827
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: espresso in the after And to make it even better,

828
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: I found this stuff called ready whip, sweet cream or

829
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: sweet foam. And okay, you know, say what you will

830
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: about you know the ready whip, and it's probably you

831
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: know who knows what's in there. It's got a lot

832
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 2: of sugar, but I don't care.

833
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: It is so good.

834
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: It's like making your own little espresso with.

835
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: A nice little foam.

836
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 2: Even when I go to Starbucks to get this thing

837
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 2: called I know it's called a dopio or dopyo, but

838
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: it's basically a shot of espresso with some whipped cream

839
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 2: on top, and it's just fantastic. And this recreates that

840
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: experience at home. And I am loving, loving, loving my

841
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: coffee right now.

842
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest.

843
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 2: I mean, well, by the way, the machine I bought,

844
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 2: I bought it for one hundred and twenty bucks, and

845
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 2: I guess the price dropped to one hundred and Walmart

846
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 2: automatically refunded.

847
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: Me, which I thought was cool.

848
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: But then as I posted it to my Instagram, people

849
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: were like, oh, this is only eighty bucks at Walmart.

850
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: So I was like, wait, it dropped again. So the

851
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 2: price dropped another twenty dollars. I wrote Walmart an email

852
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: and they said, now we don't do that again. We

853
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: don't even do price They don't do price drop refunds,

854
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: which I thought was weird because they automatically did it

855
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 2: for my you know, the twenty dollars. But anyway, so

856
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: I figured, you know what split the difference. I got

857
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 2: my twenty bucks back. Sure, I could have brought the

858
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: whole machine back and bought it for the you know,

859
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: eighty Bucks versus the one twenty. But you know, it's

860
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: already set up and it's fine. So the reality is

861
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 2: I'm loving my coffee machine. If you look it up,

862
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: it's called the instant Pod. If you like k cups

863
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 2: and you like a little inn espresso.

864
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: In the afternoon.

865
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 2: I have just been really, really enjoying this, and now

866
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: I need to research how much caffeine is too much

867
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 2: in one day, because not like it's I'm going overboard,

868
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: but I'm having two k cups in the morning and

869
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: then the espresso in the afternoon, which is kind of

870
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 2: like the most coffee I've ever drank, and I don't

871
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: want to go overboard. So I'm still kind of figuring

872
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: that out. I don't have the espresso every time, nor

873
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: do I have the second cup every time. Hey, you

874
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: know what you're listening to Rich on Tech. You're getting

875
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: way more information than you need. So let's go back

876
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: to this question. What was the question about the s

877
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: twenty one? Is it going to have that same picture

878
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: and picture feature. The short answer to your question is

879
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: you've waited this long wait until January fourteenth, I think,

880
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 2: is when they have the Samsung event and see if

881
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,479
Speaker 2: they have that feature. I have a feeling they will

882
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: have that feature because it's a feature on the iPhone,

883
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 2: because a lot of loggers, myself included, are really finding

884
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: that feature useful. And when I looked for an Android

885
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 2: app with that same feature, off the top of my

886
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: head or off the top of Google, I could not

887
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 2: find one. I do know of a phone that does

888
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 2: have it too, which is called the LG Wing. And

889
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 2: that's what got me started on that whole thing, is

890
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 2: because LG sent me the Wing to test, and I

891
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: thought that that was like the coolest feature that you

892
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: could hold this phone and record yourself and other stuff. Now,

893
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 2: I am just gonna I'll be honest, I'm gonna totally

894
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: blatantly rip off flave City, and I have plans to

895
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: go into a Costco or a best Buy and just

896
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: kind of go through the tech stuff that I see

897
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 2: there that's on sale that I like, and just kind

898
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: of give you a walkthrough of how rich On Tech's

899
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: brain processes what I see at Costco, especially because I'm

900
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 2: always going in there, and it's been an ongoing joke

901
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: in my family with my wife that when we walk

902
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: into Costco, I say, honey, you know I have to

903
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: go through the electronics section. That's just built into me,

904
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: and I know I don't need to buy all this stuff,

905
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: but I like to see what they have and what's

906
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 2: available because I'm curious. I've been like that forever. Same

907
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 2: thing with Best Buy. I just like to walk in

908
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: there and just see what's what is being presented to

909
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 2: the average person, what's on the end cap, what's for sale,

910
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: what's you know, what has a big display, what has

911
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 2: a small display, what's there. I don't walk through Best

912
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: Buy as much as I'd like to, especially with a pandemic,

913
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: but you know, I used to just go in on

914
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: a Saturday and just kind of check things out, and

915
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: so I think it'd be fun to do a video

916
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: like that.

917
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: The main thing is.

918
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: You don't want to get caught, because you know they

919
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 2: will toss you out of the stores if you are recording,

920
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: so you know you have to be careful, and you know,

921
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 2: I don't want to show a whole bunch of people

922
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 2: in the background. So anyway, so Connie, to answer your question,

923
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 2: wait for the S twenty one, wait to see if

924
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: that's one of the features, and if it is, I

925
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 2: would jump on it because I'm really, I really like

926
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: what Samsung did with the Note twenty Ultra, and as

927
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 2: I mentioned in my last podcast a couple of weeks ago,

928
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 2: I may be tempted to jump to the s twenty

929
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 2: one if it has all the features I want and

930
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: most importantly, the camera is solid. I'm thinking the camera

931
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 2: is going to be very similar to the Note twenty,

932
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: So if I can get that Note twenty features in

933
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 2: a slightly smaller form factor, I am all about that,

934
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: all right. Jason writes in Hey, Rich, I was wanting

935
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 2: your suggestion on buying a not too expensive camera for

936
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: selling things on my website that's being created. We print

937
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 2: and sell clothing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jason. Jason,

938
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 2: my advice is start with what you got. I think,

939
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: because you're telling me you are starting a website, that

940
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: means that you're just getting this off the ground. I

941
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 2: don't think you need to spend a ton of money

942
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: on a DSLR. I just don't. I think that the

943
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: smartphone you have is gonna be just fine. And I

944
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: think it's more important to have good lighting and a

945
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: good background for your clothing that you are taking a

946
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 2: picture of. I mean, let's be honest, ninety nine point

947
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 2: nine percent of the people that are coming to your

948
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 2: website are going to be coming on there from a

949
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 2: mobile phone or their desktop, and they're not gonna be

950
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 2: looking at high res pictures of these clothes. They're gonna

951
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 2: be looking at a small thumbnail that they might expand

952
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: into a bigger picture. But again, even if it fills

953
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 2: up their whole screen, you're gonna be just fine with

954
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 2: the resolution that you get from a smartphone. So if

955
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 2: you have a later model iPhone or a Samsung, as

956
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: long as you take nice pictures, I think that's where

957
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: you start. I don't like to see people spend a

958
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: lot of money on equipment when they're quote unquote starting

959
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 2: something up, because it takes away from what you're trying

960
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: to do. And what you're trying to do is build something,

961
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: and you when you build something with a lot of

962
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 2: expensive equipment, there's a lot of pressure there. So, for instance,

963
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 2: with this podcast, and I know it probably sounds a

964
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 2: little bit different today than it generally, does, you know,

965
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: I started the podcast with I think I was just

966
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 2: recording directly into my computer with just like a standard

967
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 2: like I don't even remember that. I think it was

968
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: like the iPhone mic or something you know, like the headphones.

969
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 2: So I think that you can just use what you've got,

970
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 2: make a nice background, maybe get some nice lighting, and

971
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: then you know, if you find yourself in a place

972
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 2: where you really need to step up your game and

973
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: you really need to sort of, you know, have a

974
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,959
Speaker 2: much better looking setup, that's when I think you buy

975
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 2: the DSLR and you know, once you need to do that,

976
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: I would look at it site like wirecutter and just

977
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: see what they recommend for like a budget or entry

978
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 2: level camera or you know, there's so many websites out

979
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: there that rank cameras. I would just look at one

980
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: of those and see what they got. All right, Sandy,

981
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 2: how are we doing on time with this podcast? Sandy says, Hey, Rich,

982
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 2: I wanted to find out what sites are safe to

983
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 2: order from, Like when getting a PS five. I see

984
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: eBay and these sites, wondering which you would suggest to

985
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 2: stay away from.

986
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: HM.

987
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 2: This is a tricky question because I don't want to

988
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 2: cut out, you know, all these random websites that are

989
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: selling things. But honestly, when it comes to something like

990
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 2: the PS five, which is very much in demand, you

991
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: want to stick to the main players. And I'll tell

992
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: you this from experience, because I got a bunch of

993
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 2: emails from folks when I was talking about how to

994
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 2: get a PS five that said, you know, they got burnt.

995
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: They were just buying from these random websites that said

996
00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 2: they had them in stock, and guess what, they did

997
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 2: not have them in stock. And in some cases they

998
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 2: hand it over a payment via PayPal and guess what,

999
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 2: good luck getting your money back from that, because it's

1000
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: just not happening eBay. You know, if you're gonna buy

1001
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 2: from eBay, I would say, you have to be sure

1002
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 2: that the seller is not it's not their first rodeo, right.

1003
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 2: You want to find a seller that has a lot

1004
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: of good feedback, and not just feedback on you know,

1005
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 2: two dollars items for the past month and then all

1006
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 2: of a sudden they've got this thousand dollars PS five

1007
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 2: on there. You want to find someone that has a

1008
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 2: solid track record, you know, that has been selling stuff

1009
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 2: of expensive value, that has good feedback for the past

1010
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: couple of months and then has jumped into this PS five.

1011
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: Because it could just be someone looking at an opportunity.

1012
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 2: They went to their local target, they found one, and

1013
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 2: now they're flipping it, and you know, I can't knock

1014
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 2: them for that, Do I do? I think that should

1015
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: be happening. No, But does it happen yet. It's been

1016
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 2: happening forever, you know, scalpurs have been going on as

1017
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,959
Speaker 2: long as humankind has been around. People see opportunity. It's

1018
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: you know, it's a marketplace. If someone's willing to pay

1019
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: more because they're in a position to do that, that's

1020
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: their progative. Would I pay more? No, I would not.

1021
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 2: I would just wait the six months or the three

1022
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 2: months or the four months, whatever it's gonna take to

1023
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 2: get this at the normal price from best buy dot

1024
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: com or from Amazon dot com, or from Sony or

1025
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: from one of these main websites that you can just

1026
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 2: order it and get it through the standard channels. That's

1027
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 2: what I would recommend. When it comes to these other websites,

1028
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: I would really really.

1029
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: Stay away because you just don't want to deal.

1030
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 2: With losing a lot of money, especially when you're overpaying

1031
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: to begin with, because you're probably paying a premium going from.

1032
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: One of these websites.

1033
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 2: All Right, Wow, I got a lot more questions. I

1034
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 2: just kind of copied and pasted a bunch of the

1035
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: questions I've gotten in the last couple of weeks, and

1036
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna jump around here a little bit. Richard writes,

1037
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 2: good morning, rich I hope this year, this New Year

1038
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: finds you healthy. Thank you it has knock on wood.

1039
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 2: My question has to do with the safest payment method

1040
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: for my subscriptions. Some like Netflix have the option of

1041
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 2: either credit, debit, or PayPal. So given those three options,

1042
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: what is your advice a credit card, a debit card,

1043
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 2: or PayPal when given the opportunity. Thank you for your time,

1044
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 2: Happy New Year to you and his family in his service. RC. Richard, Well,

1045
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 2: this is a question that is at the top of

1046
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 2: my mind all of the time. If you've listened to

1047
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 2: this podcast, you know I am not a fan of

1048
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 2: credit cards, but I do use a credit card for

1049
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 2: various reasons, and some of those reasons have to do

1050
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 2: it travel. When it comes to business travel. You know,

1051
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: it's just easier when it comes to booking flights and

1052
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: stuff like that. It does give you a little bit

1053
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 2: more protection to have a credit card. When it comes

1054
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: to large purchases. I do like putting those on a

1055
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 2: credit card because you do get a little buffer.

1056
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: Between you and your money.

1057
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 2: And when it comes to shopping online, I like to

1058
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: use a credit card because I'm not putting my debit

1059
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,919
Speaker 2: card number, which is linked to my checking account, out

1060
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 2: there on the open web, and if that site gets hacked, boom,

1061
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 2: Now they've got access to my debit card, which gives

1062
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 2: them access to my checking account.

1063
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 1: And yes, you do have a lot.

1064
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 2: Of the same protections with getting your money back with

1065
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 2: a debit card, but the reality is it's more of

1066
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 2: a headache. And just to test this, I went on

1067
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 2: my bank account and I looked at one of my

1068
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 2: transactions I made with my debit card and on my

1069
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 2: app on my on my phone, and I looked for

1070
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: a dispute transaction button and I didn't find one. And

1071
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 2: then I went on my credit card app and I

1072
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: found dispute transaction right on my app. So again it

1073
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 2: really comes down to if something were to happen with

1074
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 2: this transaction, are you protected? And so I would say

1075
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 2: for things like Netflix and those recurring payments that are

1076
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 2: really not going to change, I think you're safe using

1077
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: your debit card.

1078
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: I kind of split the difference.

1079
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 2: I've moved a lot of them to my credit card

1080
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 2: because I just like the idea of especially with recurring transactions.

1081
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 2: I don't Number one, I don't like anything auto built,

1082
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 2: you know, unless they have to something like Netflix, they

1083
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 2: have to auto auto charge you. And you know the

1084
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 2: number doesn't really change month to month, but things that do.

1085
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 2: Like historically a cell phone bill back in the day,

1086
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 2: it would you know, it would change every month. You

1087
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 2: know it would you know when you're getting different minutes

1088
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 2: and different stuff. Now you know the way the cell

1089
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 2: phone companies have got this little racket going where they

1090
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: give you a discount by using your debit card because

1091
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 2: it saves them money every month times millions of customers.

1092
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: And so I do use my debit card with my

1093
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 2: with my wireless bill. As much as I don't like it,

1094
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 2: it saves me twenty dollars a month to pay with

1095
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 2: my debit card and with my with my NOH paper bill.

1096
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 2: So these companies are very smart and they will try

1097
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 2: to get you any way they can. And you know,

1098
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 2: something like Netflix, I think you'll be fine with a

1099
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: debit card. But again it's to me, it's like, here's

1100
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 2: my rules when it comes to credit versus debit. If

1101
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 2: my card leaves my hand, I generally like to use

1102
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 2: a credit card. So that means if I'm in a

1103
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 2: restaurant and someone's taking my card to a back room

1104
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 2: to swipe it, I'm gonna give them my credit card

1105
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 2: because you know who knows, they might take a picture

1106
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 2: of my card. There's a chance for that to get stolen.

1107
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 2: If my card does not leave my hand, I will

1108
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 2: generally use my debit card because I'm the one swiping it.

1109
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: And again I will always default to my phone tap

1110
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 2: to pay when in doubt I've got my debit card

1111
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: on my phone, i will tap to pay. Because they

1112
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 2: don't hand over your actual debit card number when you're

1113
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 2: dipping your card using your chip. Also, again they do

1114
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 2: not hand over your actual debit card number that's printed

1115
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 2: on that card, so you are protected. The place where

1116
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 2: you are most at risk is when you wipe your

1117
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 2: card or you write down your card number into a

1118
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 2: web form. That is when you are most at risk

1119
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 2: for that card number being hacked. So with Netflix, you

1120
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 2: know if they're storing it on their server, you know

1121
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 2: that there is a risk if they were breached, but

1122
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 2: it's it's generally minimal. But again there is a risk,

1123
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 2: and so it's up to you PayPal. I would say

1124
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 2: X that I use PayPal. I've been using it more online,

1125
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 2: but again only for a transaction that.

1126
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: You know is not going to be disputed.

1127
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 2: So again, if you're buying something that you think you

1128
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 2: might return, then you know, maybe use your credit card. Though,

1129
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 2: you know, and again these are all personal. Finance is

1130
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: very That's why they call it personal finance. It's very personal.

1131
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 2: Some people like to use their credit card for everything

1132
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 2: because they get those points. Personally, I don't go for

1133
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 2: the points. I would rather not have to pay that

1134
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 2: bill at the end of the month. And so I

1135
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 2: like to use my debit card and have a you know,

1136
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 2: an ongoing kind of like seeing how much I've got

1137
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 2: in that account. I use a separate account for my

1138
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,479
Speaker 2: debit card purchases that I load up with a certain

1139
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 2: amount that is sort of in my budget and say,

1140
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 2: this is what I use for, you know, dining out

1141
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 2: and this and that, and I know and I can

1142
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 2: see that that number dwindling, and so it does help

1143
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 2: me with that.

1144
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: So there you have it.

1145
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 2: Those are my sort of thoughts on it, and you know,

1146
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 2: it's it's different for everyone, So just use what makes

1147
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 2: you comfortable, all right. Wow, I can't believe it, but

1148
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 2: we have made it to the end of the show.

1149
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 2: I hope that this show sounded good. Like I said,

1150
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 2: I'm using a slightly different setup for this show, so

1151
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 2: hopefully it sounded good. I know I didn't have the

1152
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,279
