WEBVTT - Adobe Flash rides off into the sunset

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>What's going on.

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm Rich Tamiro and this is Rich on Tech, the

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.560
<v Speaker 2>podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 2>you should know about, and it's where I answer the

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 2>questions you send me. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Channel five in Los Angeles. If this is your first

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>time ever listening, welcome to the show. It's a little

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 2>bit different for this episode because I don't have my

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>full setup, so I'm just going to do questions that

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 2>you send me.

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>And since this is the first show of twenty twenty.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>One, I've gotten so many questions in the past couple

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>of weeks from you over the holidays, and so I'm

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>going to do my best to just get through a

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.239
<v Speaker 2>whole bunch of questions and just do what you like

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the most on this show, and that is answer questions.

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 2>So first off, Happy New Year. I cannot believe that

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 2>we are in twenty twenty one. It feels like all

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty is a blur because of the pandemic,

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and I've been working from home for so many months

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>now that in itself is just unbelievable. As a as

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>a news reporter, you know, I always imagine that i'd

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 2>be in the studio and you can't really do what

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I do at home, and that has been proven wrong

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>because I've been at home now for nine months and

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 2>it's been pretty cool. And what I like about working

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 2>from home is I don't know if I mentioned this previously,

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 2>but I love having all the things I need at

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 2>my disposal. So if I want to compare you know,

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>what Siri says to what Alexa says, to what Google says.

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've got all three of those smart speakers

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>set up at the ready, ready to go. It's a

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.919
<v Speaker 2>little bit different than you know, being at the TV station,

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 2>where I've got a great set and great audio and

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 2>great video, but I don't have access to all the

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 2>little things that I have at home, whereas at home,

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, the set isn't that great, the audio is

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>not that great, the video is not that great. But

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I do have all of the things I need. You know,

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>if I need to, you know, shoot something in my

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>living room, I can do that. If I need to

0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>shoot something in the kitchen, I can do that. So

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>it's been really interesting. It's been a learning curve and

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>at the same time it's been fun. And you know,

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not begging to go back anytime soon, because I

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>think we're going to be through this, hopefully in the

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>next six months or so with the vaccine coming up

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>and through. But you know, the reality is, I'm kind

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>of enjoying being at home for the time I can.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>So let's get to the questions again. I don't have

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 2>my full setup with me, but I am going to

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>do my best to just get through these questions because

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>what the reality of this show is, it's all about

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>the questions, you know, and believe me, you send a

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of them. All right, let's go, Mikey says, good morning, Rich.

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I was hoping you had some advice about a situation

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>with my MacBook Pro. I purchased my MacBook Pro from

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>a best Buy in West Lebanon, New Hampshire in April

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 2>of twenty sixteen. It worked well for two years, then

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>it all went downhill fast. Turns out my machine is

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>actually a twenty twelve MacBook Pro. I thought I was

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 2>buying a twenty sixteen and twenty sixteen both best Buy

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>an can't help and best Buy I won't even let

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>me trade it in because it's too old, even though

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I bought it in twenty sixteen. I think the date

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the computers are made should be printed out on the box.

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Any advice on this odd dilemma, Thank you, Mikey. That

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>is a really odd dilemma, but it's not unheard of,

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 2>and I number one agree, one hundred percent. I think

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 2>that the year something is made should be very prominent

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>on it. And it's interesting because when you're searching on

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Amazon for stuff, sometimes there will be a little notation

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>that says there's a newer model of this device available,

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes it will say the twenty twenty version or

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>the twenty nineteen version. But Mikey, I one hundred percent agree.

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that with consumer electronics there should be a

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>year stamped on these things because sometimes you might go

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>through a whole purchase, and especially if you're buying something

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>on sale or discounted or from a third party retailer,

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>you may not realize that what you're buying is actually

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>something that was made a couple of years back. Now,

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>when you bought a twenty twelve and twenty sixteen, that

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 2>is pretty wild. That's a four year old device, and

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually pretty surprised that they still had that in

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>stock or even for sale. So I don't really have

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>a good answer for you. And you know, I think

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>the answer that I have is to just if it's

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 2>really not working out for you, And now you're talking

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 2>this is.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>An eight year old device.

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 2>I think that you just you just cut your losses here,

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>you put it on eBay, you sell it somewhere. I mean,

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>it's getting a little up there. But my wife actually

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.160
<v Speaker 2>used as a computer that's almost as old, so and

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, does what she needs. So I think that

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>you can still use this or someone else can find

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>some value in this. I think for you sounds like

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 2>you need a machine that's going to be a little

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>bit higher powered. So I would say, you know, put

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>on eBay, trade it in. You can trade it in

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>through the Apple website. I don't know how much you're

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 2>going to get for that, but you know, you and

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>go that route. But that is a great question, and

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.599
<v Speaker 2>that's a new one I had not really I've put

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>some thought into this stuff, because especially when you see

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>stuff on sale, especially around the holidays, you know, if

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing major discounts on these things, a lot of times, yes,

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 2>they are a little bit older. So that is a

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>great question. And I'm sorry that that happened to you,

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 2>But It's a great lesson for future reference to always

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 2>think about the birth of the device that you are purchasing.

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Just see when it was made and make sure that

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.119
<v Speaker 2>that is the latest model. With the iPhone, it's pretty

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>simple because we.

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Know the numbers and the models.

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 2>But when you're talking about laptops, it's not always that clear.

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>And I'm gonna have to look at my MacBook box

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and see what numbers are on there, because that is

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 2>an interesting thing. And but the other thing is a

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of us are buying stuff online, so you do

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 2>need to kind of look at those little things on Amazon.

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, if you scroll down.

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 2>There's a little section that says date first available. So

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>for instance, with the with the iPad, that's a really

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.679
<v Speaker 2>tricky one because the iPad, you know, they don't really

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 2>go by like right now, it says new Apple iPad,

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 2>latest model eighth generation. So I mean, you know, you

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 2>might not know what you know if it didn't say

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 2>latest model, eighth generation.

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, is that the new one? Like it

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>should say twenty twenty iPad. But if you scroll down

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon, there's usually a little section that says date

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>first available. I'm gonna see now this is a very

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>uh okay uh date.

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Release date nine fifteen, twenty twenty, so that gives me

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 2>an indication that this is the eighth generation, is.

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 1>The latest model.

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>So another place to check I always talk about this

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 2>is the MacRumors. They do a buyer's guide, so Buyer's

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Guide dot MacRumors dot com is another good place to look.

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>But check those out, all right, good question. Sorry that

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 2>happened to you, Mikey, but thanks for writing in. I

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 2>do appreciate it, all right. Phil A writes in, Hey, Rich,

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 2>can you recommend an alternative to WhatsApp? I feel like

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 2>I need to delete my account after reading about it's

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 2>new privacy policy. Am I overreacting? Let's see here basically

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>seeking a chap at with video functionality that I can

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 2>use with my iPhone friends. Thanking it, thanks in advance,

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Happy New Year.

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I've been getting a lot of questions about this WhatsApp

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, new privacy policy, and Facebook owns WhatsApp, they

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>purchased it, and Facebook what they've been doing is slowly

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>but surely they are just merging everything into one, you know,

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 2>cross platform, whether you use Facebook, whether you use WhatsApp,

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.559
<v Speaker 2>whether you use Instagram, whether you use Messenger, it's all

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of working together. And you know, that makes sense

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>for them from a business standpoint to just kind of

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>merge everything and not keep it all separate. But for users,

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 2>especially with WhatsApp. You know a lot of WhatsApp users

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>were on there and then Facebook purchased them. They said

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 2>they were going to keep things primarily the same. That

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't necessarily happen, as we see over and over in

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the tech world. You know, these companies they buy something

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>and they say nothing's going to change, and then sometimes

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 2>are ninety nine percent of the time things change. And

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>we saw this in a big way with Instagram. Right now,

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm reading that book No Filter, which is all about

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Instagram and how it started, and you know, the whole

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>thing is, you know, I'm reading between the lines of

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 2>why the founders left Facebook, because it's pretty clear that

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 2>the changes that Facebook wanted to continue to make to Instagram,

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the founders of Instagram were just not comfortable with, and

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>that's why they eventually left. And you know, a spoiler

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 2>there a spoiler alert, But I mean, I think we

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.319
<v Speaker 2>all know that. But as I'm reading the book, I'm

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 2>reading through between the lines and realizing this is why

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 2>they're leaving. So What's app kind of the same thing

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 2>now the let's see, So it says the new privacy

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>policy actually, according to PC mag won't affect WhatsApp users

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 2>who decided to stop sharing data with Facebook back when

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 2>the option was available in twenty sixteen. So they will

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>continue to honor the opt out if you opted out back.

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>In the day.

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 2>But they say, you can check in your setting Account

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>settings tab, look in the download your data function and see.

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 2>But the reality is what's happening is WhatsApp is going

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to have a new privacy policy that's going to share

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 2>more data with Facebook. And I think it's going to

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 2>be kind of the same data that Facebook collects throughout

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 2>all of their other apps.

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think they're just kind of aligning all those things.

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you have a Facebook account, I would say, honestly,

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, what's the difference if you use Instagram and

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 2>you're using Facebook. I think, Phil, you know, you're already

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 2>putting yourself out there with their privacy policies. So WhatsApp

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>is just going to be more in line with those

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 2>privacy policies.

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Now. To answer your question, if you.

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Want to delete your accoun you can fully do that.

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the reasons why people like WhatsApp

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 2>is that the messages are end to end encrypted as

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>far as I know, and so let me just let

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>me confirm that and to end, I think that the

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 2>yeah WhatsApp is yeah. So WhatsApp is end to end encrypted,

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 2>which means that even WhatsApp can't read the contents of

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 2>your messages, your photos, and your videos. So that's that's

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 2>why a lot of people are attracted to it because

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 2>it's secure, but the fact that it's also owned by

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Facebook gives people some pause. So answer your question, I

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 2>would look at two things. I use an app called

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Telegram and it's a nice cross platform app, but you're

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about video functionality, so scratch that.

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.559
<v Speaker 1>So the two I would.

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Recommend is I would say Google Duo. But again, I

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>mean that's Google. So you know who has the better

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 2>privacy policy Google or Facebook.

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but you've got that going on.

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>So Google Duo is a great cross cross platform app

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 2>that does video chatting with iPhone and also Android.

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>The other one you.

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Can look at that's really secure is Signal. So if

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you are worried about privacy, I think that Signal is

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 2>probably going to be your best bet because Signal is

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the most secure chat app, and I guess they also

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 2>do video I have not used it, but they also

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>do video chat as far as I can tell, So

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 2>I would say maybe to switch to Signal. Now here's

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the thing that's really tricky is that most of the

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 2>challenge is getting your friends that have iPhones to use

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>these other apps. You've already gotten them to sign up

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>for WhatsApp, Now you have to get them to sign

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 2>up for another app. And I find that because Facebook

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.559
<v Speaker 2>or not Facebook, because FaceTime is built into the iPhone,

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 2>most iPhone users are like what now. I think the

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 2>pandemic has helped that situation just a little bit because

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>they know, you know, they're more open to different apps.

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>And I think Zoom is also a fine alternative as well.

0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 2>But the problem with Zoom is that it's a little

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 2>bit too much. I think Google Duo is more of

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 2>just a video chat app. So oh, you're saying, I'm

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 2>basically seeking a chap at with video functionality, So that

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 2>could mean two things. I'm not sure you meant you

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.079
<v Speaker 2>want to be able to send videos or you want

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 2>to be able to chat with video chat, so either

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>way Telegram, which is what I used, they will do that.

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that when it comes to video chat, it's good,

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not sure it's the best.

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>But they do let you send videos. So good question.

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Phil, and yeah, appreciate that. All right, let's

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>move on to the next question. Tom says, Hey, Rich,

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I hope you're doing well. I have a question for you.

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I have to transcribe one of our production meetings from

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 2>a Zoom session we had. I remember you reporting about

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 2>an application in which you could take an audio file

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 2>and convert it to a printed outline. Do you remember that, Tom,

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.839
<v Speaker 2>I sure do. And there's a lot of ways you

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 2>can do this. The simplest way I think is going

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 2>to be well, there's a couple of ways. Let me.

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Let me explain what I mentioned into my piece on KTLA.

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>So this whole thing came about because there's a really,

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 2>really good app built into the Pixel phones that is

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 2>called Recorder, And this thing is like pure magic.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>You set it up to record.

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 2>And you see in real time on your screen everything

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 2>that's being said. And this is a life saver for

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 2>me as a journalist because I can set up my

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Pixel and if I'm on an online call and I'm

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, in a briefing or something. I can literally

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 2>have it transcribe everything that everyone's saying and have a

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>nice record and go back, you know, oh wait, did

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 2>they say sixteen gigs or ten gigs. It's just it's

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>really amazing. And I could also transcribe my interviews. So

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>if I'm feeling a little lazy and I've got a

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 2>long interview that I want to transcribe, I can just

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 2>play it and the Google Phone will listen to it

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 2>and transcribe it.

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 1>And it's pretty magical.

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.079
<v Speaker 2>And if you're a college student or even any student,

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.679
<v Speaker 2>you can put this in class.

0:13:58.360 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And it can be recording.

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 2>And the cool thing is wherever you're recording, you can

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 2>tap and go right to that spot in the recording.

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can tap the text and you can

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 2>listen to exactly what that person said. I believe the iPad.

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Does the iPad do that? Something does that? A lot

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 2>of the note taking apps. Oh I think the note

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 2>from Samsung does that as well. But the reality is

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of ways to do this. Tom that's

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 2>just one, but you have to have a pixel phone.

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I've tried installing that app on other androids, and it

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 2>does work, especially on Samsung's. So if you find the

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 2>APK for that app and you're comfortable doing that, you

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 2>can install it what they call sideload it, and it

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 2>works just fine on the Samsungs. On the OnePlus devices,

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't work as well in my experience, but you know,

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>perhaps that's changed. But that's one way of doing it.

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 2>The other way is an app called Otter. This is

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>an app that works on both iPhone and Android, and

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 2>it's called otter dot Ai. And again you can listen

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>to your you know, a lecture, a meeting, an interview,

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and it will transcribe that pretty much in real time,

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 2>and it works pretty well. I believe that you would

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 2>be able to upload, you know, upload a a audio

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 2>file into the app and let it transcribe that too.

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 2>I've not personally done that, but I'm sure you could.

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 2>The limitation on that one is that you get six

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred minutes of transcription for free, so that is the

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 2>main thing. Oh yeah, import or sync recordings from services

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 2>including Zoom, so that's another one I would check out,

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>But you only get six hundred minutes per month, which

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 2>is a lot. I mean, depends how long this thing

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 2>is that you're talking about. The thing that I think

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 2>is The other one is called descript D S c

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 2>R I p T, and that one is really full feature.

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 2>This is a full app. You can download it to

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 2>your desktop. It's from Andrew Mason, the guy who started

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 2>what was that gosh it Evading Me the.

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Deal site, I can't remember.

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>It was out of Chicago, groupon he started groupon and

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 2>then he left there and now he started this one

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 2>called the Script very full featured. Again, you do have

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 2>to pay for that one. I think you get a

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 2>certain amount every month for free. Let's see how much

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you get three hours of transcription just one time. So

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 2>you might be able to try this and see how

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 2>it works. But if you want to upgrade to something

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 2>like Creator or Pro, they are going to charge you.

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>But that really integrates nicely as well into Zoom. The

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>other one is if you have a Microsoft three sixty

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 2>five account.

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 1>This is the one that I thought was pretty cool.

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>So if you open up Word on the web, you

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>can upload a file into Word, look for the transcribe

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>button and it will take a couple of minutes and

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 1>transcribe the entire file for you and I think if

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you are working for a company or you have somehow

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>have access to Microsoft Office three six y five on

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the web, that would be a really nice way to

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 1>do that. So again, as a as a reporter that's

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.439
<v Speaker 1>always transcribing interviews, I go back and forth. Sometimes I

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.679
<v Speaker 1>think it's really great to have everything transcribed. Other times

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I just do it quickly on the fly. You know,

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not transcribing the entire thing. Most of the

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.359
<v Speaker 1>time when I'm writing a story, I don't need to

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 1>transcribe the entire interview. I'll listen to the entire interview

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>for what I call our selects, and then I will

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of pick which ones I think are the best,

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and then I will actually go through and you know,

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 1>just transcribe on the fly the ones that I need

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the most.

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, thanks for answering, Tom, and or thanks for

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the question, Tom.

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I do appreciate that.

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.239
<v Speaker 2>All right, Moving on here, Jeffrey, can you tell them

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 2>out of sorts here a little bit? So I don't

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 2>have my standard setup, so it's a little bit different.

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't have my sound effects and all

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 2>my little things, and my timer keeps the timer I'm

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 2>using for the podcast just keeps going dark on my iPhone,

0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 2>so I have to keep like unlocking it to see.

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think that on the iPhone when you're running

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 2>a stopwatch, it should keep the screen lit, Like I

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.119
<v Speaker 2>would think that that would be a thing, because if

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 2>you're actively running a stopwatch, maybe there's a time out

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 2>after a certain period. But like you know, if you're

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.120
<v Speaker 2>running a stopwatch, don't you want to see like what

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 2>you're recording? Uh? Jeffrey says, good afternoon, sir, and happy

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 2>New Year. Do you know how to use an iPad

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 2>as a second monitor of the iMac? I know it's

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.439
<v Speaker 2>called sidecar, but I'm not sure how it works.

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:25.959
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 2>So I don't use this a whole lot, but I

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 2>do use it sometimes. It's a great feature. But I

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 2>also just forget that it's even available. But it's a

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.719
<v Speaker 2>feature that's built into I believe it was as last

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Mac operating system. The new one is called big sur which, oh,

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 2>I finally updated my computer to big sur so I

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>wiped my computer clean and oh gosh, this was Actually

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 2>it was kind of a little bit of a nightmare

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.359
<v Speaker 2>because there is some real heavy security built into the

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 2>new map books. It's mine specifically has this like security chip.

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's called the T two or Apple loves

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.680
<v Speaker 2>to name their chips, but it's this chip that for

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.679
<v Speaker 2>security purposes. It makes it so that someone can't just

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.440
<v Speaker 2>like straight up erase your Mac and like start over.

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:20.119
<v Speaker 1>It's really tricky.

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 2>So I did that to my Mac and next thing,

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:23.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, it would not let me install the new

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.120
<v Speaker 2>operating system because I needed to authenticate that.

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 1>And so what I had to end up.

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Doing is I had to reinstall the previous operating system,

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.520
<v Speaker 2>and then I had to create an account, keep that active,

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and then go in and somehow I forget now that

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.439
<v Speaker 2>I did it, it's like I got through it and

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:44.959
<v Speaker 2>I forgot.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 1>But it was like it was quite the process.

0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.439
<v Speaker 2>And I got through it, but it threw me for

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:50.879
<v Speaker 2>a loop because I was like, oh my gosh, I

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 2>can't believe that I just had to erase my whole computer,

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:57.639
<v Speaker 2>reinstall the old operating system, and now go back to

0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:59.399
<v Speaker 2>do the new operating system. It was kind of a

0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 2>it was a bunch of extra steps, but I got

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:03.920
<v Speaker 2>it to work. But word to the wise, I wish

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 2>I could remember what the problem was, but I tweeted

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 2>about it, so it's on my Twitter at rich on Tech.

0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 2>But it was it took about four or five times

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 2>as long as it should have. Let's put it that way.

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:18.160
<v Speaker 2>But Sidecar is built in, and the way I see

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 2>it is that it's super super easy. You just have

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 2>a iPad next to your computer and it will show

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 2>up in the display settings and you just go in

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:33.920
<v Speaker 2>there and it will just show up and you just say,

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, choose your iPad from the menu when it

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 2>says connect to and there you go. On Catalina. You

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 2>can use the airplay icon and it depends how you

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 2>want to do it. Sidecar you can mirror to your

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>other display, or you can extend your display. But again

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 2>this does require the use of an iPad. So but

0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 2>once you do it, it's really cool and it's very simple,

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:57.920
<v Speaker 2>and you can also do it if you don't see

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 2>the settings for Sidecar in your menu bar, just go

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 2>into your settings, your system preferences, and you'll see a

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:07.439
<v Speaker 2>little icon for Sidecar, or you can just search for

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Sidecar in your settings and you know, set it up

0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 2>that way.

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Or your system preferences. I should say, but it's a.

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Really handy thing. I you know, I love the idea

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>of multiple monitors. I just don't really use them because

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I have this little program that I really like on

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 2>my computer called Rectangle, and it kind of like I

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 2>can arrange my windows on my computer like either the left,

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.239
<v Speaker 2>the right, the top, the bottom, the center. It all

0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of snaps into these you know, pre defined areas,

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:39.880
<v Speaker 2>and so I find that pretty handy. And again that

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:43.639
<v Speaker 2>app is called Rectangle for the Mac. But you know,

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:46.919
<v Speaker 2>it just depends what you like. If I had maybe

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>if I was like not mobile and I kind of

0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 2>always had my desks set up a certain way, I

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 2>think the multiple monitors would be kind of cool because

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 2>you can keep like, you know, certain things like Twitter

0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>on one monitor and other things on other monitor and

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 2>it just kind of stays all in one place. But

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 2>for me, I'm always moving around, and so I can't

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 2>really stick to one standard setup.

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 1>But that's what sidecar is.

0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.159
<v Speaker 2>And oh, I don't know what's going on with me,

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.399
<v Speaker 2>because you're saying, do you know how to use an

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:17.879
<v Speaker 2>iPad as a second monitor of the Mac? And you

0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.680
<v Speaker 2>literally said that, and I keep saying you need an iPad,

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 2>but yes, you know that, Jeffrey. All right, by the way,

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.679
<v Speaker 2>thank you for one hundred thousand followers on Instagram. If

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I had a sound effect, I would play it, but

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.640
<v Speaker 2>over the holidays it was kind of a personal goal.

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Before the end of the year.

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really say that to anyone, but I noticed

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.159
<v Speaker 2>that my Instagram was getting up towards one hundred thousand followers,

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.719
<v Speaker 2>and I was just like, is this really gonna hit

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:48.720
<v Speaker 2>it before the end of the year, And sure enough

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 2>it did. And as I stand one hundred k on

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:56.720
<v Speaker 2>my Instagram at rich On Tech, what does that mean?

0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't really mean much. I mean, it's really just symbolic.

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 2>But to me personally, it means that what I feel

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>like I've been doing on Instagram, which is giving my

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>followers the best information I can give them in a

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, not in a you know. What I try

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:17.880
<v Speaker 2>to do is is not play games. You know, I'm

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to just be myself. And when I see information

0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you should know about, I put it on there,

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:25.920
<v Speaker 2>whereas I just, you know, I don't want to play

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot of games. And sometimes, you know, it's a

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:29.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of my I mix a lot of stuff like

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 2>what I say in my in my because there used

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 2>to be this struggle with Instagram because I used to

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:38.199
<v Speaker 2>not post anything tech related. It was just basically like

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 2>personal stuff. And then you know, then I got into

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 2>like posting more tech stuff and more tips and you know,

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.119
<v Speaker 2>like just using it in a lot of different ways.

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 2>And so now in my bio, I say sharing cool

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 2>new gadgets, tech tips, and my life. So my life

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.919
<v Speaker 2>part is the part that throws someone sometimes because they're like, oh,

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I followed you for that cool tech post, and now

0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I see a picture of your kids.

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:03.719
<v Speaker 1>What gives you know?

0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 2>If you don't want to see the full rich DeMuro,

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, like all different aspects of my life, then

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.040
<v Speaker 2>you know that's not the place to follow me. But

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 2>the reality is I want to show a three sixty

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 2>of here's who I am, here's a cool tech tip,

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 2>but also here's what I'm doing on the weekend with

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 2>my family, because I am a normal person that has

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:28.439
<v Speaker 2>a regular life, and you know, I feel like I

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 2>like seeing that with people that I follow, and I

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.479
<v Speaker 2>like to see what they like, what they're drinking, what

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:36.399
<v Speaker 2>they're eating, where they're going, what they're doing with their family.

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Like some of those posts are really interesting to me

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>because I'm always curious how other people are living and

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:45.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, especially people that I follow that are tech

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 2>people or public figures, like it's always fascinating, but I

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 2>also follow them for a reason. I want to see

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>what they're sharing when it comes to tech and when

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:55.479
<v Speaker 2>it comes to reviews. So for me, I kind of

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 2>share all those different things. And I feel like the

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:01.439
<v Speaker 2>one hundred k means that it's working. You like what

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing.

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.439
<v Speaker 1>And yes, you know, a bunch of.

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 2>People on follow me every day. Bunch of people follow

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.360
<v Speaker 2>me every day, So I'll just keep doing what I doing.

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll just keep doing what I do and hopefully we'll

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 2>grow to even more than one hundred thousand folks on there.

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 2>But thank you for following me on there. If you're

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 2>not at rich On Tech is where I'm at, and

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 2>be prepared for good stuff, fun stuff, interesting stuff, personal stuff,

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 2>sappy stuff, and everything in between. Just sint To writes

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:32.119
<v Speaker 2>in good Morning. A lot of people write me good morning.

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 2>This is an ongoing joke in this show because they're

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 2>watching the morning news, where I primarily appear on TV,

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and then they say, oh, yeah, I want to write

0:25:40.480 --> 0:25:42.159
<v Speaker 2>that guy, and then they write an email and they

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 2>say good morning. When I read these things, all throughout

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.479
<v Speaker 2>the day. But so I like to read the good

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 2>morning because I think it is a trend that a

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of people. It's like an inside joke if you

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:53.159
<v Speaker 2>listen to this show a lot.

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Just since it says good morning.

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:57.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious if there is something out there that would

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.040
<v Speaker 2>allow for a traditional keyboard to be used with a

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:03.359
<v Speaker 2>cell phone, specifically wanting to be able to use it

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 2>when posting lots of content on Instagram without killing my thumbs.

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:11.440
<v Speaker 2>This is a funny question and just sint to As

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 2>far as I know, almost any bluetooth keyboard will work

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.719
<v Speaker 2>with the iPhone. So you can just get a Bluetooth keyboard,

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 2>pair it up to the iPhone and it will work.

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I've done some videos on this with I

0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 2>did a mouse where I connected a mouse to the

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 2>iPhone and that was a that was a fun little video.

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:33.199
<v Speaker 2>But I think I connected I know I've connected him

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 2>in the past because specifically, my father in law wanted

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 2>this solution and I ended up getting or recommending him

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 2>a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard that was kind of a travel

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 2>keyboard or so I forget. It was very specific, but

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.239
<v Speaker 2>it had a place where you can actually stick your

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 2>iPhone like. It kind of had a little ridge in

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 2>there that would let you stick your iPhone almost like

0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 2>a am almost like.

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 1>A tribe not a tripod. What do you call that?

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you call it, but it was

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 2>just a keyboard that would just yeah, I guess it

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 2>was a tablet keyboard, iPad keyboard. Oh. Here it is

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Bluetooth Multi Device keyboard K four eighty. And there you

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>have it. Switch typing between your computer, phone and tablet.

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 2>It's only fifty bucks. You compare up to three devices

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 2>and there's a little gosh, I don't know what you

0:27:26.359 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 2>call a ridge that you just put your phone in

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's really simple and easy.

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>And again you can just put any of those.

0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Devices in there and it works now if you Oh,

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 2>it's also weather proof.

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's pretty cool.

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.160
<v Speaker 2>The other thing that you can do is if you're

0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 2>on an Android device, I believe, you can just plug

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 2>a USB keyboard right into the bottom of that device

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 2>and it should recognize it as long as you know.

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>It depends.

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Every Android manufacturer is different, but for most of them,

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, if they use the standard you know, USB

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 2>connector I forget it's called like OTG or something. It

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 2>will it will recognize that keyboard. But that's another thing

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you can do. And I think this little keyboard I'm

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 2>talking about as well on the Logitech one, the K

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 2>four eighty also says it works with Android, so you

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 2>can use it. Now do I recommend it?

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you're posting, if your job is to

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:24.880
<v Speaker 2>post Instagram content, maybe you need that.

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think that one of these keyboards would be great.

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>But I post a lot of content on Instagram. No

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:31.439
<v Speaker 2>more than one post a day generally, because that's like

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 2>the unspoken Instagram rule. I don't know who came up

0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 2>with that, but it's like, why is it that you

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 2>can only post one thing on Instagram a day.

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I've broken that rule sometimes and I'm still here to

0:28:42.160 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 2>talk about it. But you know, there you have it,

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 2>So find the keyboard, see which works for you. But

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I just you know the other little trick I use,

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and this is a little inside baseball, but you know,

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone and the mac computers they work so well together.

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 2>You can copy something on your Mac computer or your

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 2>iPad and then you can paste on your iPhone. So

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 2>if you don't know about that you can literally just

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:13.000
<v Speaker 2>if you have a Mac computer that's on the same

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 2>iCloud account as your iPhone or your iPad, you can

0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 2>literally hit command C on your computer and then paste

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 2>on your iPhone and it will paste from your computer. Now,

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 2>it's only for a certain amount of time, and the

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 2>two devices. I don't know if they have to be

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 2>in proximity of each other, but I think that might

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 2>be one of the requirements. But it works, and it

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 2>does it and it's a great little hack because sometimes

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll type things out on my computer because it's simpler,

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and then I'll just paste it on my iPhone and

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 2>it works really well. All right, Moving on to Marta,

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Marta says, hey, Rich, thanks for all the information you

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 2>give out day after day. As one of the older generation,

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I have learned a lot from you. Thank you. Now

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 2>a question Adobe flash Player. Should I delete it? As suggested?

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 2>What will take its place? And she looks like she

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 2>pasted in something that says since Adobe will no longer

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 2>be supporting flash Player after December thirty first, twenty twenty

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 2>and Adobe will block flash content from running in flash

0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Player beginning January twelfth, twenty twenty one. Adobe strongly recommends

0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 2>all users immediately uninstalled flash Player to help protect their systems.

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Many thanks for your help, Marta. Yeah, I would delete

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 2>it from your system because there is a good chance

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 2>that it could be a vulnerability on your system if

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:40.440
<v Speaker 2>you still have the flash player installed. And if you

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 2>just look at flash player, Adobe flash uninstalled, if you

0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:50.000
<v Speaker 2>look at their official uninstalled instructions. So I would go

0:30:50.120 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to Adobe flash Player, search for Adobe flash Player end

0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 2>of life and make sure you're on Adobe's website and

0:30:57.920 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 2>they will give you the instructions on how to uninstall

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 2>it from your computer, which is a you know, whether

0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a MAC or a PC. So I would uninstall

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 2>it because it's a potential risk because if the software

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 2>is not being updated, that means that hackers can exploit

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 2>any vulnerabilities that they find in that software because it's

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 2>not being updated. So there's no security patches that are

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 2>being administered to this software via a software update, and

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know when it says no longer supported. So

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 2>if there was a major major security up issue with it,

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 2>perhaps they would issue some sort of software update. We've

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:40.640
<v Speaker 2>seen that happen in the past with Windows, even though

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 2>they said we're not supporting this Windows anymore. But then

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:45.360
<v Speaker 2>when something really bad happens, they said, okay, well we'll

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:47.280
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and one last time, we're going to update

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 2>this and patch it, just because we know it's a

0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:51.320
<v Speaker 2>major problem. And a lot of you are still running

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 2>that software, and I imagine a lot of people probably

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>still have Flash Player on their system, even though to

0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 2>answer your second question, what will take its place? Honestly, Marta,

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:05.520
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine point nine percent of the web has not

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 2>been running Flash for a very long time, and what

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 2>we use now is called HTML five and there's a

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of new open standards that just work much better

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:20.640
<v Speaker 2>than Flash. And honestly, most of the time Flash is

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>just not used. You know, it's not used on YouTube,

0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 2>it's not used on all the video sites. It's not

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:27.720
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty much just not used anywhere anymore. I think

0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Farmville was the last holdout, and I think that closed

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:33.560
<v Speaker 2>down as well as of January first, because they said,

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 2>peace out. We built this whole game and Flash and

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 2>we're done. There might be some specialized applications of Flash

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:43.080
<v Speaker 2>that you might still need for something that you run,

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:46.080
<v Speaker 2>like an app that you know your company might have,

0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and I think you'd be instructed from your company how

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 2>to get around that if that's necessary. But for ninety

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 2>nine point nine percent of the people on the open web,

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 2>most of the stuff that you are that are your

0:32:57.560 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 2>running or encountering or have been, you know, running into

0:33:02.400 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 2>over the past couple of years, has not been flash based.

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just not.

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And so I don't think that you're gonna see a

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 2>big issue with flash going away.

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 1>And I would delete off my computer.

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 2>And Steve Jobs he predicted this many many years ago.

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 2>He famously decided not to support flash on the iPhone.

0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:24.960
<v Speaker 2>And guess what if I had my ding bell, I

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:28.400
<v Speaker 2>would say that's right, because he was right.

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>So long ago.

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 2>He saw the web moving to different, more secure, more

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:38.720
<v Speaker 2>open standards, and the iPhone really helped push that along

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 2>because the iPhone, he said, you know what, we're gonna

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 2>run apps, and we're gonna run web browser stuff, and

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're not gonna support the flash stuff because

0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 2>it's just it just isn't in line with what we

0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:53.000
<v Speaker 2>want on the iPhone. And I think Android ran flash

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 2>for a very long time, and that was a big

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 2>delineation between the two platforms, because if he had a Samsung,

0:33:58.200 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 2>it was like, well, I could still run all these

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Flash things. If you're on iPhone, it would say sorry,

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 2>not supported. But nowadays we're just not seeing that problem.

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 2>So Marta, I know I say, great question for everyone,

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 2>but that is truly a great and very timely question

0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 2>right now because a lot of people are getting I

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:15.759
<v Speaker 2>got the email from Adobe, and as far as I know,

0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Flash is not on my computer because it was not

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 2>installed when I reinstalled. This is why I like to

0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:25.839
<v Speaker 2>do a clean install of my operating system every year,

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:28.640
<v Speaker 2>because I like to clean off all the junk. I

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:33.040
<v Speaker 2>install so many programs throughout the year to you know,

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:36.400
<v Speaker 2>test new things, test new features, and so I like

0:34:36.480 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the year when they come out

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 2>with the new Mac operating system, to wipe my system

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 2>clean and start fresh. And it feels like a new

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:45.840
<v Speaker 2>computer when you do that and you get rid of

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff. The downside, and I've talked about this

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:51.080
<v Speaker 2>in the podcast, is that there's so many little programs

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I have to go through and reinstall. Yeah, it's a pain,

0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 2>but it's definitely worth it. And I like the fresh

0:34:56.200 --> 0:35:00.840
<v Speaker 2>start because it challenges me to kind of take nothing

0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:05.399
<v Speaker 2>for granted. So, for instance, I switched to Edge last year,

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:07.280
<v Speaker 2>towards the end of the year, I was using Microsoft

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Edge as my web browser, and I will report that

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>I have gone back to Chrome. I tried when I

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:16.799
<v Speaker 2>first installed Big sur I did try to use Safari

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 2>as my web browser and not install Chrome, but I

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:22.360
<v Speaker 2>just found that there's too many things I like about Chrome,

0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:27.239
<v Speaker 2>and I will admit it's sluggish. It's noticeably slower on

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 2>this Mac which is a really you know, a nice

0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:34.319
<v Speaker 2>high end MacBook Pro, and Chrome just just drags it.

0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:34.919
<v Speaker 1>It really does.

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Safari is fast, it's speedy, but it's just kind of

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:42.000
<v Speaker 2>not what I want. And it had all the extensions

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:44.439
<v Speaker 2>I wanted, but it was just like, it doesn't work

0:35:44.480 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the way that I like.

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:47.640
<v Speaker 1>And so for that reason, I just went back to Chrome.

0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:49.320
<v Speaker 1>And I'm trying to deal.

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:51.920
<v Speaker 2>With it, and it's gotten a little bit better, you know,

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:53.879
<v Speaker 2>as my computer's been on for a couple of months

0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 2>or a month now of the new operating system, but

0:35:57.680 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 2>still feels a little weird, all right, Connie says, Hey,

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Rich I watch you on Channel five all the time

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 2>and enjoy all your information. Well, thank you, Connie. I

0:36:07.280 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 2>hope you and your family had a fabulous holiday season,

0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:12.000
<v Speaker 2>which I did thank you like to know about the

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:14.839
<v Speaker 2>new Samsung Galaxy S twenty one doesn't have the same

0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:18.279
<v Speaker 2>feature as the iPhone eleven. The feature that I'm looking

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 2>for is picture on picture, where you can be walking

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:23.840
<v Speaker 2>and talking to the phone and it shows you but

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the background is what you're looking at. I'm a realtor

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:29.040
<v Speaker 2>and can benefit from this feature tremendously. I've had an

0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Android for many years and I really do not want

0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:32.879
<v Speaker 2>to switch to an iPhone. Can you help me out

0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:36.319
<v Speaker 2>with this question to get answered, I don't like a

0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:39.120
<v Speaker 2>big phone right now. I've got the Samsung Galaxy S eight. Yes,

0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:41.319
<v Speaker 2>I know it's old. That's why I need a new one.

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:42.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm waiting for the one that has the feature with

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the camera. I look forward to your reply. I have

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:46.320
<v Speaker 2>a blessed day, Connie.

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:53.440
<v Speaker 1>This is a question that is okay, So a couple things.

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 2>First off, what you're referring to is a feature called

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:59.880
<v Speaker 2>double Take, and this is an app that they introduced.

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:04.799
<v Speaker 2>I think it was with iOS thirteen. They showed off

0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:09.440
<v Speaker 2>this feature that allows you to use both cameras, so

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 2>you can choose the combination of cameras and you can

0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 2>record two of them at the same time either side

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:17.919
<v Speaker 2>by side picture and picture where you're off to the corner,

0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:21.239
<v Speaker 2>or you can just record two discrete streams and work

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 2>with them later and you can go you know, front

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 2>camera plus rear camera or front camera plus wide angle,

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:30.799
<v Speaker 2>or you can do wide angle plus rear camera or

0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 2>telephoto plus wide you know, just take your pick of

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:33.840
<v Speaker 2>the two cameras.

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is a really cool feature.

0:37:36.040 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 2>In fact, one of the guys I like on YouTube

0:37:39.360 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 2>uses this as his primary way of shooting. He's called

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:45.840
<v Speaker 2>flave City, and it's he does all kind of like

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:49.799
<v Speaker 2>he goes into a grocery store and he records himself

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 2>looking at the food and specifically the food label, and

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:55.759
<v Speaker 2>he kind of talks about what's good and what's bad

0:37:55.880 --> 0:37:58.920
<v Speaker 2>on that food label. And so you always see him

0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 2>in the corner and then see the food label on

0:38:01.000 --> 0:38:03.040
<v Speaker 2>the other side. You know, the big the big picture

0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:05.720
<v Speaker 2>is the food label. The little picture in the corner,

0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Pip is him. And so this got me to thinking,

0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I did try this a couple of weeks ago with

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a Boba tea making robot, and I recorded myself with

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 2>the robot and I kind of did it play by

0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 2>play where I'm in the corner talking about, you know,

0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:21.839
<v Speaker 2>the play by play of what the robot's doing.

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:23.399
<v Speaker 1>And I uploaded it and I thought it.

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Was pretty cool. You know, it's like, you know, it's different.

0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:27.400
<v Speaker 2>It was the first time I tried it, and then

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:31.439
<v Speaker 2>I tried it again last week. What was the video

0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I did? I have to look at my Instagram because

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:36.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to remember what this was. It was, Oh,

0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:39.280
<v Speaker 2>this new coffee machine I got, which, by the way,

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I am in love with my new

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:49.000
<v Speaker 2>coffee machine now I bought it. I actually bought three

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 2>coffee machines through this pandemic. The first was a Briville.

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:55.560
<v Speaker 2>It was called Grind Control, and I liked it because

0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 2>it made a fresh cup of coffee by grinding the

0:38:57.520 --> 0:39:00.640
<v Speaker 2>beans and then brewing them. And we had that for

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:04.600
<v Speaker 2>about eight months, and honestly, it was good, but it

0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:07.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't as good as I wanted. I was imagining like

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 2>a super fresh cup of coffee. It never truly tasted

0:39:10.080 --> 0:39:14.000
<v Speaker 2>that way. And then the grinds got stuck and I

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:17.399
<v Speaker 2>was like, Okay, this thing kind of broke and yes,

0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go through the you know, year warranty

0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:21.600
<v Speaker 2>or whatever and kind of get it fixed and then

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:23.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, put on eBay for someone else to use

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:25.839
<v Speaker 2>for parts or whatever, or maybe even they just want

0:39:26.200 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 2>a coffee machine. But it got me to thinking, you

0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 2>know what, I kind of you know, I was trying

0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:32.760
<v Speaker 2>to get away from the cake cup because I felt

0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 2>it tasted stale. But cakeup is just so easy. And

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:38.719
<v Speaker 2>what that machine taught me was that the cake cup

0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 2>is just a whole lot easier. So then I bought

0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:45.840
<v Speaker 2>this machine that was a cake cup side by side

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 2>with just you know, a brewer machine that you just

0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:52.360
<v Speaker 2>put ground beans in. You have to grind them before,

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:54.600
<v Speaker 2>but just like a drip brewer. So it was a

0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 2>drip brewers plus the cake cup. And I thought, you

0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 2>know what, I'll use the cakeup during the week to

0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:01.680
<v Speaker 2>be fast, and on the weekends, I'll use the drip

0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and I'll make a pot for my wife and I.

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:06.319
<v Speaker 2>But the problem is I set this whole machine up

0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:09.239
<v Speaker 2>and it was leaking. And I looked on Amazon, and

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:11.640
<v Speaker 2>sure enough, like half the review said, oh yeah, this

0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 2>machine leaks. So I brought it back to best Buy

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:16.359
<v Speaker 2>and as I was doing my research, I found this

0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:19.840
<v Speaker 2>machine from instant Pot of all companies, you know, the

0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:22.359
<v Speaker 2>one that makes the instant pot that everyone loves. This

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:25.960
<v Speaker 2>is called instant Pod and apparently they only sell it

0:40:26.000 --> 0:40:30.240
<v Speaker 2>at Walmart. But it is a CA cup slash an espresso.

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Now they don't use the word in espresso. It's just

0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:35.799
<v Speaker 2>the Espresso pods, but they're an Espresso pods. And I

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 2>thought to myself, Oh my gosh, this is amazing. This

0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:41.239
<v Speaker 2>is the best of both worlds. During the week, I

0:40:41.280 --> 0:40:44.279
<v Speaker 2>can make the ca cup and then in the afternoons

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I can make an espresso. And let me tell you,

0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:51.919
<v Speaker 2>this machine is so amazing. I absolutely love it. Yes,

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm using you know, the ground things that are already

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:57.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, pre made whatever. But I gotta tell you,

0:40:57.200 --> 0:40:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm loving making my cakeup in the morning and my

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.640
<v Speaker 2>espresso in the after And to make it even better,

0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I found this stuff called ready whip, sweet cream or

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:10.040
<v Speaker 2>sweet foam. And okay, you know, say what you will

0:41:10.120 --> 0:41:12.279
<v Speaker 2>about you know the ready whip, and it's probably you

0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:14.200
<v Speaker 2>know who knows what's in there. It's got a lot

0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:15.759
<v Speaker 2>of sugar, but I don't care.

0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:16.720
<v Speaker 1>It is so good.

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:19.239
<v Speaker 2>It's like making your own little espresso with.

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:20.600
<v Speaker 1>A nice little foam.

0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Even when I go to Starbucks to get this thing

0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:25.920
<v Speaker 2>called I know it's called a dopio or dopyo, but

0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 2>it's basically a shot of espresso with some whipped cream

0:41:29.160 --> 0:41:32.759
<v Speaker 2>on top, and it's just fantastic. And this recreates that

0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:37.200
<v Speaker 2>experience at home. And I am loving, loving, loving my

0:41:37.239 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 2>coffee right now.

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:38.960
<v Speaker 1>And I'll be honest.

0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, by the way, the machine I bought,

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I bought it for one hundred and twenty bucks, and

0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I guess the price dropped to one hundred and Walmart

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:48.840
<v Speaker 2>automatically refunded.

0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Me, which I thought was cool.

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 2>But then as I posted it to my Instagram, people

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 2>were like, oh, this is only eighty bucks at Walmart.

0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, wait, it dropped again. So the

0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:59.360
<v Speaker 2>price dropped another twenty dollars. I wrote Walmart an email

0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and they said, now we don't do that again. We

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:05.880
<v Speaker 2>don't even do price They don't do price drop refunds,

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:08.080
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was weird because they automatically did it

0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:10.880
<v Speaker 2>for my you know, the twenty dollars. But anyway, so

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I figured, you know what split the difference. I got

0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:15.320
<v Speaker 2>my twenty bucks back. Sure, I could have brought the

0:42:15.320 --> 0:42:17.279
<v Speaker 2>whole machine back and bought it for the you know,

0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:19.640
<v Speaker 2>eighty Bucks versus the one twenty. But you know, it's

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:24.160
<v Speaker 2>already set up and it's fine. So the reality is

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:26.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm loving my coffee machine. If you look it up,

0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:29.600
<v Speaker 2>it's called the instant Pod. If you like k cups

0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:31.360
<v Speaker 2>and you like a little inn espresso.

0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>In the afternoon.

0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I have just been really, really enjoying this, and now

0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I need to research how much caffeine is too much

0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:40.240
<v Speaker 2>in one day, because not like it's I'm going overboard,

0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:42.000
<v Speaker 2>but I'm having two k cups in the morning and

0:42:42.000 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 2>then the espresso in the afternoon, which is kind of

0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:46.839
<v Speaker 2>like the most coffee I've ever drank, and I don't

0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:50.600
<v Speaker 2>want to go overboard. So I'm still kind of figuring

0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 2>that out. I don't have the espresso every time, nor

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:55.440
<v Speaker 2>do I have the second cup every time. Hey, you

0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:57.640
<v Speaker 2>know what you're listening to Rich on Tech. You're getting

0:42:57.760 --> 0:43:01.160
<v Speaker 2>way more information than you need. So let's go back

0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:05.000
<v Speaker 2>to this question. What was the question about the s

0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:07.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty one? Is it going to have that same picture

0:43:07.120 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 2>and picture feature. The short answer to your question is

0:43:11.440 --> 0:43:16.480
<v Speaker 2>you've waited this long wait until January fourteenth, I think,

0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:19.759
<v Speaker 2>is when they have the Samsung event and see if

0:43:19.800 --> 0:43:22.479
<v Speaker 2>they have that feature. I have a feeling they will

0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:25.000
<v Speaker 2>have that feature because it's a feature on the iPhone,

0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:29.240
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of loggers, myself included, are really finding

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 2>that feature useful. And when I looked for an Android

0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 2>app with that same feature, off the top of my

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:37.920
<v Speaker 2>head or off the top of Google, I could not

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 2>find one. I do know of a phone that does

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:43.880
<v Speaker 2>have it too, which is called the LG Wing. And

0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:45.719
<v Speaker 2>that's what got me started on that whole thing, is

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:48.359
<v Speaker 2>because LG sent me the Wing to test, and I

0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 2>thought that that was like the coolest feature that you

0:43:51.160 --> 0:43:54.040
<v Speaker 2>could hold this phone and record yourself and other stuff. Now,

0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:57.120
<v Speaker 2>I am just gonna I'll be honest, I'm gonna totally

0:43:57.120 --> 0:44:00.960
<v Speaker 2>blatantly rip off flave City, and I have plans to

0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 2>go into a Costco or a best Buy and just

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:06.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of go through the tech stuff that I see

0:44:06.160 --> 0:44:08.879
<v Speaker 2>there that's on sale that I like, and just kind

0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:12.560
<v Speaker 2>of give you a walkthrough of how rich On Tech's

0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 2>brain processes what I see at Costco, especially because I'm

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:18.839
<v Speaker 2>always going in there, and it's been an ongoing joke

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:21.160
<v Speaker 2>in my family with my wife that when we walk

0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:24.239
<v Speaker 2>into Costco, I say, honey, you know I have to

0:44:24.280 --> 0:44:27.560
<v Speaker 2>go through the electronics section. That's just built into me,

0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and I know I don't need to buy all this stuff,

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:32.200
<v Speaker 2>but I like to see what they have and what's

0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:36.359
<v Speaker 2>available because I'm curious. I've been like that forever. Same

0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:38.400
<v Speaker 2>thing with Best Buy. I just like to walk in

0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:42.560
<v Speaker 2>there and just see what's what is being presented to

0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:46.320
<v Speaker 2>the average person, what's on the end cap, what's for sale,

0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:48.960
<v Speaker 2>what's you know, what has a big display, what has

0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:53.439
<v Speaker 2>a small display, what's there. I don't walk through Best

0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Buy as much as I'd like to, especially with a pandemic,

0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:58.640
<v Speaker 2>but you know, I used to just go in on

0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:00.719
<v Speaker 2>a Saturday and just kind of check things out, and

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:02.120
<v Speaker 2>so I think it'd be fun to do a video

0:45:02.280 --> 0:45:02.480
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:03.520
<v Speaker 1>The main thing is.

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to get caught, because you know they

0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 2>will toss you out of the stores if you are recording,

0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:11.120
<v Speaker 2>so you know you have to be careful, and you know,

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:12.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to show a whole bunch of people

0:45:12.800 --> 0:45:16.360
<v Speaker 2>in the background. So anyway, so Connie, to answer your question,

0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:18.799
<v Speaker 2>wait for the S twenty one, wait to see if

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 2>that's one of the features, and if it is, I

0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 2>would jump on it because I'm really, I really like

0:45:25.000 --> 0:45:28.120
<v Speaker 2>what Samsung did with the Note twenty Ultra, and as

0:45:28.120 --> 0:45:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned in my last podcast a couple of weeks ago,

0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I may be tempted to jump to the s twenty

0:45:33.400 --> 0:45:35.919
<v Speaker 2>one if it has all the features I want and

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:40.680
<v Speaker 2>most importantly, the camera is solid. I'm thinking the camera

0:45:40.760 --> 0:45:42.400
<v Speaker 2>is going to be very similar to the Note twenty,

0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.719
<v Speaker 2>So if I can get that Note twenty features in

0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:50.160
<v Speaker 2>a slightly smaller form factor, I am all about that,

0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 2>all right. Jason writes in Hey, Rich, I was wanting

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 2>your suggestion on buying a not too expensive camera for

0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:01.600
<v Speaker 2>selling things on my website that's being created. We print

0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:07.240
<v Speaker 2>and sell clothing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jason. Jason,

0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:09.879
<v Speaker 2>my advice is start with what you got. I think,

0:46:09.920 --> 0:46:13.080
<v Speaker 2>because you're telling me you are starting a website, that

0:46:13.120 --> 0:46:15.120
<v Speaker 2>means that you're just getting this off the ground. I

0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:17.200
<v Speaker 2>don't think you need to spend a ton of money

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:20.160
<v Speaker 2>on a DSLR. I just don't. I think that the

0:46:20.200 --> 0:46:23.120
<v Speaker 2>smartphone you have is gonna be just fine. And I

0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 2>think it's more important to have good lighting and a

0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 2>good background for your clothing that you are taking a

0:46:29.080 --> 0:46:32.360
<v Speaker 2>picture of. I mean, let's be honest, ninety nine point

0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:34.080
<v Speaker 2>nine percent of the people that are coming to your

0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:36.319
<v Speaker 2>website are going to be coming on there from a

0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 2>mobile phone or their desktop, and they're not gonna be

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:43.439
<v Speaker 2>looking at high res pictures of these clothes. They're gonna

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.400
<v Speaker 2>be looking at a small thumbnail that they might expand

0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:49.120
<v Speaker 2>into a bigger picture. But again, even if it fills

0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:51.680
<v Speaker 2>up their whole screen, you're gonna be just fine with

0:46:51.760 --> 0:46:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the resolution that you get from a smartphone. So if

0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:58.680
<v Speaker 2>you have a later model iPhone or a Samsung, as

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:01.200
<v Speaker 2>long as you take nice pictures, I think that's where

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:04.040
<v Speaker 2>you start. I don't like to see people spend a

0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of money on equipment when they're quote unquote starting

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:10.520
<v Speaker 2>something up, because it takes away from what you're trying

0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to do. And what you're trying to do is build something,

0:47:13.200 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and you when you build something with a lot of

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:19.400
<v Speaker 2>expensive equipment, there's a lot of pressure there. So, for instance,

0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:21.400
<v Speaker 2>with this podcast, and I know it probably sounds a

0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:24.799
<v Speaker 2>little bit different today than it generally, does, you know,

0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I started the podcast with I think I was just

0:47:28.880 --> 0:47:32.239
<v Speaker 2>recording directly into my computer with just like a standard

0:47:32.280 --> 0:47:33.560
<v Speaker 2>like I don't even remember that. I think it was

0:47:33.560 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 2>like the iPhone mic or something you know, like the headphones.

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:39.640
<v Speaker 2>So I think that you can just use what you've got,

0:47:39.760 --> 0:47:43.239
<v Speaker 2>make a nice background, maybe get some nice lighting, and

0:47:43.280 --> 0:47:46.440
<v Speaker 2>then you know, if you find yourself in a place

0:47:46.480 --> 0:47:49.080
<v Speaker 2>where you really need to step up your game and

0:47:49.120 --> 0:47:52.400
<v Speaker 2>you really need to sort of, you know, have a

0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:55.959
<v Speaker 2>much better looking setup, that's when I think you buy

0:47:56.160 --> 0:47:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the DSLR and you know, once you need to do that,

0:47:59.400 --> 0:48:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I would look at it site like wirecutter and just

0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:04.040
<v Speaker 2>see what they recommend for like a budget or entry

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:08.359
<v Speaker 2>level camera or you know, there's so many websites out

0:48:08.400 --> 0:48:10.120
<v Speaker 2>there that rank cameras. I would just look at one

0:48:10.120 --> 0:48:13.520
<v Speaker 2>of those and see what they got. All right, Sandy,

0:48:13.600 --> 0:48:19.080
<v Speaker 2>how are we doing on time with this podcast? Sandy says, Hey, Rich,

0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to find out what sites are safe to

0:48:21.320 --> 0:48:23.720
<v Speaker 2>order from, Like when getting a PS five. I see

0:48:23.719 --> 0:48:27.319
<v Speaker 2>eBay and these sites, wondering which you would suggest to

0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:28.480
<v Speaker 2>stay away from.

0:48:29.239 --> 0:48:29.399
<v Speaker 1>HM.

0:48:31.400 --> 0:48:34.360
<v Speaker 2>This is a tricky question because I don't want to

0:48:34.360 --> 0:48:37.880
<v Speaker 2>cut out, you know, all these random websites that are

0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:40.600
<v Speaker 2>selling things. But honestly, when it comes to something like

0:48:40.600 --> 0:48:44.239
<v Speaker 2>the PS five, which is very much in demand, you

0:48:44.360 --> 0:48:48.080
<v Speaker 2>want to stick to the main players. And I'll tell

0:48:48.120 --> 0:48:50.080
<v Speaker 2>you this from experience, because I got a bunch of

0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:52.680
<v Speaker 2>emails from folks when I was talking about how to

0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:55.320
<v Speaker 2>get a PS five that said, you know, they got burnt.

0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:58.040
<v Speaker 2>They were just buying from these random websites that said

0:48:58.040 --> 0:48:59.759
<v Speaker 2>they had them in stock, and guess what, they did

0:48:59.800 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 2>not have them in stock. And in some cases they

0:49:02.480 --> 0:49:05.880
<v Speaker 2>hand it over a payment via PayPal and guess what,

0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:08.279
<v Speaker 2>good luck getting your money back from that, because it's

0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:12.520
<v Speaker 2>just not happening eBay. You know, if you're gonna buy

0:49:12.600 --> 0:49:15.560
<v Speaker 2>from eBay, I would say, you have to be sure

0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:20.040
<v Speaker 2>that the seller is not it's not their first rodeo, right.

0:49:20.360 --> 0:49:22.279
<v Speaker 2>You want to find a seller that has a lot

0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:25.480
<v Speaker 2>of good feedback, and not just feedback on you know,

0:49:25.600 --> 0:49:28.000
<v Speaker 2>two dollars items for the past month and then all

0:49:28.040 --> 0:49:30.520
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden they've got this thousand dollars PS five

0:49:30.560 --> 0:49:32.440
<v Speaker 2>on there. You want to find someone that has a

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:36.200
<v Speaker 2>solid track record, you know, that has been selling stuff

0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:39.440
<v Speaker 2>of expensive value, that has good feedback for the past

0:49:39.440 --> 0:49:42.560
<v Speaker 2>couple of months and then has jumped into this PS five.

0:49:42.640 --> 0:49:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Because it could just be someone looking at an opportunity.

0:49:45.000 --> 0:49:46.960
<v Speaker 2>They went to their local target, they found one, and

0:49:47.000 --> 0:49:49.399
<v Speaker 2>now they're flipping it, and you know, I can't knock

0:49:49.440 --> 0:49:51.120
<v Speaker 2>them for that, Do I do? I think that should

0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:53.560
<v Speaker 2>be happening. No, But does it happen yet. It's been

0:49:53.560 --> 0:49:56.279
<v Speaker 2>happening forever, you know, scalpurs have been going on as

0:49:56.320 --> 0:49:59.959
<v Speaker 2>long as humankind has been around. People see opportunity. It's

0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:02.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's a marketplace. If someone's willing to pay

0:50:02.280 --> 0:50:05.960
<v Speaker 2>more because they're in a position to do that, that's

0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:08.640
<v Speaker 2>their progative. Would I pay more? No, I would not.

0:50:09.160 --> 0:50:11.319
<v Speaker 2>I would just wait the six months or the three

0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:13.239
<v Speaker 2>months or the four months, whatever it's gonna take to

0:50:13.239 --> 0:50:15.839
<v Speaker 2>get this at the normal price from best buy dot

0:50:15.880 --> 0:50:18.440
<v Speaker 2>com or from Amazon dot com, or from Sony or

0:50:18.480 --> 0:50:21.000
<v Speaker 2>from one of these main websites that you can just

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:25.480
<v Speaker 2>order it and get it through the standard channels. That's

0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:28.200
<v Speaker 2>what I would recommend. When it comes to these other websites,

0:50:28.280 --> 0:50:30.080
<v Speaker 2>I would really really.

0:50:29.760 --> 0:50:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Stay away because you just don't want to deal.

0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:35.759
<v Speaker 2>With losing a lot of money, especially when you're overpaying

0:50:35.760 --> 0:50:39.560
<v Speaker 2>to begin with, because you're probably paying a premium going from.

0:50:39.560 --> 0:50:40.520
<v Speaker 1>One of these websites.

0:50:41.520 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 2>All Right, Wow, I got a lot more questions. I

0:50:43.800 --> 0:50:46.319
<v Speaker 2>just kind of copied and pasted a bunch of the

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:49.520
<v Speaker 2>questions I've gotten in the last couple of weeks, and

0:50:50.160 --> 0:50:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna jump around here a little bit. Richard writes,

0:50:52.800 --> 0:50:55.319
<v Speaker 2>good morning, rich I hope this year, this New Year

0:50:55.400 --> 0:50:58.120
<v Speaker 2>finds you healthy. Thank you it has knock on wood.

0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:02.239
<v Speaker 2>My question has to do with the safest payment method

0:51:02.320 --> 0:51:05.440
<v Speaker 2>for my subscriptions. Some like Netflix have the option of

0:51:05.480 --> 0:51:08.840
<v Speaker 2>either credit, debit, or PayPal. So given those three options,

0:51:08.880 --> 0:51:11.120
<v Speaker 2>what is your advice a credit card, a debit card,

0:51:11.239 --> 0:51:14.560
<v Speaker 2>or PayPal when given the opportunity. Thank you for your time,

0:51:14.600 --> 0:51:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Happy New Year to you and his family in his service. RC. Richard, Well,

0:51:21.960 --> 0:51:25.319
<v Speaker 2>this is a question that is at the top of

0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:28.160
<v Speaker 2>my mind all of the time. If you've listened to

0:51:28.239 --> 0:51:30.640
<v Speaker 2>this podcast, you know I am not a fan of

0:51:30.680 --> 0:51:33.960
<v Speaker 2>credit cards, but I do use a credit card for

0:51:34.080 --> 0:51:36.840
<v Speaker 2>various reasons, and some of those reasons have to do

0:51:36.880 --> 0:51:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it travel. When it comes to business travel. You know,

0:51:40.040 --> 0:51:42.480
<v Speaker 2>it's just easier when it comes to booking flights and

0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:44.120
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that. It does give you a little bit

0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:46.359
<v Speaker 2>more protection to have a credit card. When it comes

0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:49.040
<v Speaker 2>to large purchases. I do like putting those on a

0:51:49.040 --> 0:51:52.280
<v Speaker 2>credit card because you do get a little buffer.

0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Between you and your money.

0:51:54.000 --> 0:51:56.880
<v Speaker 2>And when it comes to shopping online, I like to

0:51:57.000 --> 0:52:00.000
<v Speaker 2>use a credit card because I'm not putting my debit

0:52:00.120 --> 0:52:02.919
<v Speaker 2>card number, which is linked to my checking account, out

0:52:02.920 --> 0:52:06.160
<v Speaker 2>there on the open web, and if that site gets hacked, boom,

0:52:06.320 --> 0:52:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Now they've got access to my debit card, which gives

0:52:08.520 --> 0:52:10.280
<v Speaker 2>them access to my checking account.

0:52:10.520 --> 0:52:12.880
<v Speaker 1>And yes, you do have a lot.

0:52:12.680 --> 0:52:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Of the same protections with getting your money back with

0:52:15.120 --> 0:52:18.239
<v Speaker 2>a debit card, but the reality is it's more of

0:52:18.280 --> 0:52:20.680
<v Speaker 2>a headache. And just to test this, I went on

0:52:20.760 --> 0:52:22.759
<v Speaker 2>my bank account and I looked at one of my

0:52:22.800 --> 0:52:25.920
<v Speaker 2>transactions I made with my debit card and on my

0:52:26.040 --> 0:52:30.040
<v Speaker 2>app on my on my phone, and I looked for

0:52:30.080 --> 0:52:33.719
<v Speaker 2>a dispute transaction button and I didn't find one. And

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:36.800
<v Speaker 2>then I went on my credit card app and I

0:52:36.840 --> 0:52:40.600
<v Speaker 2>found dispute transaction right on my app. So again it

0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:43.040
<v Speaker 2>really comes down to if something were to happen with

0:52:43.080 --> 0:52:46.880
<v Speaker 2>this transaction, are you protected? And so I would say

0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:51.600
<v Speaker 2>for things like Netflix and those recurring payments that are

0:52:51.680 --> 0:52:55.680
<v Speaker 2>really not going to change, I think you're safe using

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:57.560
<v Speaker 2>your debit card.

0:52:57.080 --> 0:53:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I kind of split the difference.

0:53:01.080 --> 0:53:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I've moved a lot of them to my credit card

0:53:03.680 --> 0:53:08.800
<v Speaker 2>because I just like the idea of especially with recurring transactions.

0:53:09.280 --> 0:53:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't Number one, I don't like anything auto built,

0:53:11.880 --> 0:53:14.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, unless they have to something like Netflix, they

0:53:14.160 --> 0:53:17.080
<v Speaker 2>have to auto auto charge you. And you know the

0:53:17.160 --> 0:53:19.879
<v Speaker 2>number doesn't really change month to month, but things that do.

0:53:20.400 --> 0:53:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Like historically a cell phone bill back in the day,

0:53:25.920 --> 0:53:27.960
<v Speaker 2>it would you know, it would change every month. You

0:53:28.000 --> 0:53:30.280
<v Speaker 2>know it would you know when you're getting different minutes

0:53:30.320 --> 0:53:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and different stuff. Now you know the way the cell

0:53:33.000 --> 0:53:35.719
<v Speaker 2>phone companies have got this little racket going where they

0:53:35.760 --> 0:53:39.040
<v Speaker 2>give you a discount by using your debit card because

0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:43.279
<v Speaker 2>it saves them money every month times millions of customers.

0:53:43.400 --> 0:53:46.279
<v Speaker 2>And so I do use my debit card with my

0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:49.880
<v Speaker 2>with my wireless bill. As much as I don't like it,

0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:53.399
<v Speaker 2>it saves me twenty dollars a month to pay with

0:53:53.440 --> 0:53:58.600
<v Speaker 2>my debit card and with my with my NOH paper bill.

0:53:59.120 --> 0:54:02.520
<v Speaker 2>So these companies are very smart and they will try

0:54:02.520 --> 0:54:05.120
<v Speaker 2>to get you any way they can. And you know,

0:54:05.200 --> 0:54:07.239
<v Speaker 2>something like Netflix, I think you'll be fine with a

0:54:07.239 --> 0:54:11.200
<v Speaker 2>debit card. But again it's to me, it's like, here's

0:54:11.200 --> 0:54:14.880
<v Speaker 2>my rules when it comes to credit versus debit. If

0:54:15.000 --> 0:54:17.920
<v Speaker 2>my card leaves my hand, I generally like to use

0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:19.440
<v Speaker 2>a credit card. So that means if I'm in a

0:54:19.480 --> 0:54:22.719
<v Speaker 2>restaurant and someone's taking my card to a back room

0:54:22.880 --> 0:54:25.279
<v Speaker 2>to swipe it, I'm gonna give them my credit card

0:54:25.320 --> 0:54:27.840
<v Speaker 2>because you know who knows, they might take a picture

0:54:27.840 --> 0:54:30.680
<v Speaker 2>of my card. There's a chance for that to get stolen.

0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:33.719
<v Speaker 2>If my card does not leave my hand, I will

0:54:33.840 --> 0:54:36.759
<v Speaker 2>generally use my debit card because I'm the one swiping it.

0:54:37.239 --> 0:54:41.200
<v Speaker 2>And again I will always default to my phone tap

0:54:41.280 --> 0:54:43.600
<v Speaker 2>to pay when in doubt I've got my debit card

0:54:43.680 --> 0:54:46.480
<v Speaker 2>on my phone, i will tap to pay. Because they

0:54:46.480 --> 0:54:49.600
<v Speaker 2>don't hand over your actual debit card number when you're

0:54:49.640 --> 0:54:52.560
<v Speaker 2>dipping your card using your chip. Also, again they do

0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:55.080
<v Speaker 2>not hand over your actual debit card number that's printed

0:54:55.120 --> 0:54:57.919
<v Speaker 2>on that card, so you are protected. The place where

0:54:57.920 --> 0:55:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you are most at risk is when you wipe your

0:55:00.600 --> 0:55:03.880
<v Speaker 2>card or you write down your card number into a

0:55:03.880 --> 0:55:06.759
<v Speaker 2>web form. That is when you are most at risk

0:55:06.800 --> 0:55:10.040
<v Speaker 2>for that card number being hacked. So with Netflix, you

0:55:10.040 --> 0:55:12.279
<v Speaker 2>know if they're storing it on their server, you know

0:55:12.320 --> 0:55:14.480
<v Speaker 2>that there is a risk if they were breached, but

0:55:14.719 --> 0:55:17.800
<v Speaker 2>it's it's generally minimal. But again there is a risk,

0:55:18.000 --> 0:55:21.080
<v Speaker 2>and so it's up to you PayPal. I would say

0:55:21.440 --> 0:55:26.200
<v Speaker 2>X that I use PayPal. I've been using it more online,

0:55:26.239 --> 0:55:28.319
<v Speaker 2>but again only for a transaction that.

0:55:28.280 --> 0:55:30.279
<v Speaker 1>You know is not going to be disputed.

0:55:30.400 --> 0:55:33.040
<v Speaker 2>So again, if you're buying something that you think you

0:55:33.120 --> 0:55:36.799
<v Speaker 2>might return, then you know, maybe use your credit card. Though,

0:55:36.920 --> 0:55:39.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, and again these are all personal. Finance is

0:55:39.640 --> 0:55:42.560
<v Speaker 2>very That's why they call it personal finance. It's very personal.

0:55:42.880 --> 0:55:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Some people like to use their credit card for everything

0:55:45.480 --> 0:55:48.400
<v Speaker 2>because they get those points. Personally, I don't go for

0:55:48.480 --> 0:55:51.640
<v Speaker 2>the points. I would rather not have to pay that

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:53.120
<v Speaker 2>bill at the end of the month. And so I

0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:55.319
<v Speaker 2>like to use my debit card and have a you know,

0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:57.799
<v Speaker 2>an ongoing kind of like seeing how much I've got

0:55:57.840 --> 0:56:00.719
<v Speaker 2>in that account. I use a separate account for my

0:56:00.800 --> 0:56:03.479
<v Speaker 2>debit card purchases that I load up with a certain

0:56:03.520 --> 0:56:05.840
<v Speaker 2>amount that is sort of in my budget and say,

0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:08.239
<v Speaker 2>this is what I use for, you know, dining out

0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and this and that, and I know and I can

0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:12.960
<v Speaker 2>see that that number dwindling, and so it does help

0:56:13.040 --> 0:56:13.400
<v Speaker 2>me with that.

0:56:13.560 --> 0:56:14.759
<v Speaker 1>So there you have it.

0:56:15.200 --> 0:56:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Those are my sort of thoughts on it, and you know,

0:56:19.120 --> 0:56:22.239
<v Speaker 2>it's it's different for everyone, So just use what makes

0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:26.239
<v Speaker 2>you comfortable, all right. Wow, I can't believe it, but

0:56:26.320 --> 0:56:28.640
<v Speaker 2>we have made it to the end of the show.

0:56:28.760 --> 0:56:31.239
<v Speaker 2>I hope that this show sounded good. Like I said,

0:56:31.280 --> 0:56:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm using a slightly different setup for this show, so

0:56:34.520 --> 0:56:36.239
<v Speaker 2>hopefully it sounded good. I know I didn't have the

0:56:36.280 --> 0:56:39.279
<v Speaker 2>full everything going, but I did want to get an
