1
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Apple sets a date to unveil the iPhone fourteen. Fitbit

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: has a new fall line up, a wordle lives on

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: in a new app. Plus your tech questions answered. What's

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: going on? I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech.

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: It's the podcast where I talk about the tech stuff

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: I think you should know about. It's also the place

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: where I answer the questions you send me. I'm the

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Welcome

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: to the show. Hope you are having a fantastic day. Ah,

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: what a week. What a week? Not necessarily for tech news,

11
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: although we did get the iPhone fourteen announcement, not the announcement,

12
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: but the announcement before the announcement, which still gets a

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: lot of announcements because people love iPhone news. But there's

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 1: so much going on this week. All right. First off,

15
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: let me just talk about this Instagram precise location thing,

16
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: because oh my gosh, I have never seen something go

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: so viral so fast. That is so not true. Hold on,

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: let me get a like, what in the world. It's

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: just it's amazing to me. I actually I am actually

20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: losing faith in our system of informing people because it

21
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: is getting broken. I don't know what to do. I

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: don't know what to say. But how does a random

23
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: post go viral? And I'm not kidding. I got no

24
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: less than you know, several under a dozen messages about

25
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: this post. People were just going nuts about it, asking

26
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: me if it's true, asking me what the deal is

27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: with it. Let me tell you what the post says. Okay,

28
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: so the post said, please read. If you have an iPhone,

29
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: listen up. After a recent iOS update, people can now

30
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: find your exact location from Instagram. For example, if you

31
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: put the location tag of Salt Lake City, it will

32
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: show your exact location versus a general location. There are

33
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: allegedly stalkers and criminals using this feature to find people

34
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: and break into homes and cars. Now is this rooted

35
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: in truth? Yes? I think as many half truths are,

36
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: there is a little bit of truth to them which

37
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: makes them believable. So if people went into their Instagram

38
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: location on iPhone, they saw lo and behold, precise location

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: was turned on. Does that mean that Instagram is sharing

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: your precise location? No, it does not. It means that

41
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: when you breezed past the location permissions when you installed Instagram,

42
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: you didn't really notice that there was an option to

43
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: toggle precise location versus non precise location on or off.

44
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: But here's how Instagram shares your location anyhow. Number One,

45
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: they don't really share exact locations on Instagram. They used

46
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: to on Twitter. I'm not even sure they do it

47
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter anymore. But I was a big advocate of

48
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: saying do not share your exact location on Twitter. I

49
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of pros to that, especially when

50
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: there's an event happening and you're trying to tell people

51
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: exactly where it's happening. But on Instagram, you're tagging food,

52
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: you're tagging vacation spots, you're tagging various places. Do people

53
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: need to know exact location GPS coordinates of where you are? No?

54
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Do they need to know that you're at a restaurant

55
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: that you like. Sure, if you want to tag that restaurant.

56
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: The way that it works on Instagram, when you post something,

57
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: it says tag location, and it gives you a choice

58
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: of locations. Now, even if you pick the most basic choice,

59
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: let's say Los Angeles, it still does not reveal the

60
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: exact coordinates of where you are in Los Angeles, even

61
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: if you clicked it. If a person viewing your post

62
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: tapped the location, it would show them a generalized Los

63
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Angeles location, not even in the area you're in, really

64
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: the downtown of the city that you tagged. So that's

65
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: the way Instagram works. Now. Instagram came out on a

66
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: post on Twitter and they said, we've seen the meme

67
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: going around about how Instagram uses quote precise location. To

68
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: be clear, we don't share your location with others similar

69
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: to other social media companies. We use precise location for

70
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: things like location tags and map features. People can manage

71
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: location services via their device settings and tag locations on

72
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: their posts if they want to share that information. And

73
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: even when you're sharing that information, it's not the precise location.

74
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: But in general, like I mentioned, there's always some sort

75
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: of lesson to be learned from this, and the lesson

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: here is that you need to be careful when you're

77
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: sharing your location. And on the flip side, these companies

78
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: do want access to your precise location because guess what,

79
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: it helps them sell more stuff, It helps them target

80
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: ads towards you. So does Instagram want everyone in the

81
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: world to turn off their precise location? Not really. If

82
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people do, sure, they've already been hammered

83
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: by the way by Apple's you know tracking situation where

84
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: they kind of turned off the cross tracking. So these

85
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: companies are all trying to figure out new ways of

86
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: doing business, and by us protecting our privacy, that definitely

87
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: it challenges them a little bit more because they have

88
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, we've got less information about this individual,

89
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: how do we still sell them stuff and how do

90
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: we still make a good profit? Are actually have our

91
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: targeting systems still at a very high level that we

92
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: can sell them stuff that we think that they're going

93
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: to buy, and that way advertisers want to sell that.

94
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, if you want to look into your location

95
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 1: on whether it's you know, whether it's Instagram or sorry,

96
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: whether it's Instagram or iOS or Android or anything that

97
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: you've got on iOS, you can go into settings, you

98
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: can go into Privacy Location Services, and you can check

99
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: the location settings for any of your apps, and in general,

100
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: when you're installing an app for the first time, you

101
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: can say you don't want to give access to your

102
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: precise location. There's a little map that pops up and

103
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: it says, do you want precise or do you not

104
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: want precise? Now, an android's a little clearer because they

105
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: have a choice where you tap and it says you

106
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: know exact location or not exact location, but you can

107
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: check again. You can press and hold down an app

108
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: and then go into the little eye and then tap

109
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: permissions and then tap location and you will see so

110
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: on Instagram on Android, I've got allow only while using

111
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: the app, you can say ask every time, don't allow,

112
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: and then use precise location. You can toggle that on

113
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: or off, and so you can rinse and repeat for

114
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: all of your various apps. But to just be able

115
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: to post something, and since you have a lot of

116
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: followers and goes viral, it's really kind of scary the

117
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: information that gets out there so quickly, and there's no

118
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: turning back. Once people hear this, they read the headline

119
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: and that's it that they do no more research. And

120
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: now they think that Instagram is spying on their precise

121
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: location and stalkers can use it to find them. And

122
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: again again I'm not downplaying how vigilant we need to

123
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: be about protecting our privacy online. If I had my way,

124
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: you would never share your location. You would never share

125
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: where you are, you would never share a picture of

126
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: your kids, you would never share anything in a public manner,

127
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: but we don't live in that world anymore. That has

128
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: all gone to the wayside, and so just just be

129
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: aware of how you're sharing, what you're sharing, and the

130
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: implications of what you're sharing. And I think that's the

131
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: most important thing you could do. All right, let's get

132
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: to the first question of the podcast. Randy says, thanks

133
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: for your info and knowledge in advance. I always joint

134
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: benefit from the segments you do on KTLA. Yesterday I

135
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: bought a car for the first time driver in the family.

136
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: I'd love to say that I have one hundred percent

137
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: confidence in the fact that all rules will be followed,

138
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: but I live in the real world. Oftentimes my daughter's

139
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: iPhone battery in quotes dies explaining why her location on

140
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: the Find My app cannot be found. So there are

141
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: many different GPS tracking devices out there. Most require a

142
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: monthly subscription, some covering the first year with purchase. Have

143
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: you done a segment on these? I'd love to get

144
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: your opinion on which ones offer the best value, features

145
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: and performance. Thanks for your time, best Randy. All Right, So, Randy,

146
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: a couple of options here, and yes, I get it.

147
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: It's it's a game of cat and mouse when it

148
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: comes to these GPS trackers. The kids are always trying

149
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: to get around it. When I was a kid, I mean,

150
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: there was no such thing as tracking. There was no

151
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: such thing as you know, even at the beginning of

152
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: my driving there was There's cell phones were just sort

153
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: of starting, and I did have one, but you know,

154
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: it was like a dollar a minute or something. She

155
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: didn't really use it, and there's no way your parents

156
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: can tap into to the GPS on that phone. So

157
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: we've come a long way where we expect to know

158
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: someone's location, especially of family members twenty four to seven.

159
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: It's just kind of how it is. And even our

160
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: close friends. There's a lot of friends that share their

161
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: location with other friends in a real time basis. So

162
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: I understand why you want to keep an eye on

163
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: your daughter in this manner, for safety and for other reasons.

164
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: So a couple of ways you can do this. Number One,

165
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: the air tag is probably the easiest and the cheapest,

166
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: but it's not GPS. It will only get a location

167
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: lock when there's some sort of iOS or Apple device nearby. Thankfully,

168
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of iOS and Apple devices nearby, so

169
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: you probably will get a pretty good reading most of

170
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: the time may not be exact, but it'll probably give

171
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: you a pretty good indication of where your daughter is.

172
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: So that's the easiest. The cheapest you pop the tracker

173
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: in the car, you kind of forget about it and

174
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: there you go. It's not real time and it may

175
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: not be updated. That's the downside. So if you want

176
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: something that's real time and always updated, I would look

177
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: into something like a dedicated tre and T mobile has

178
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: something called the sync Up. I have not tested these,

179
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: and so I can't tell you how great it is,

180
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: but it it is basically exactly what you're wanting. And

181
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: the beauty of this is that it's plugged into your car.

182
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: It's always on, it gets a GPS signal, it's got

183
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: cellular so it's it's a very easy solution that was

184
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: pretty much made with what you want in mind. And

185
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, it also does things like track driving behavior

186
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: and all kinds of other things. It plugs into the

187
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's called. It's like the OBD

188
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: M port or whatever it is on your car. I

189
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: used to know what this thing was called. But you

190
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: got to plug it into your car, and that's basically

191
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: it it's ten dollars. Let's see how much is it?

192
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: Ten dollars a month for the service, and then you

193
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: have to pay for the actual device. This is called

194
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: sync up Drive and again this from T Mobile. You

195
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: need a subscription from T Mobile, so it's a little

196
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: bit of a you know, you got to be a

197
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: customer there, and then you can pay in full. It's

198
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight dollars if you pay for this

199
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: thing in full, or you can do free if you

200
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: add a line. So if you're adding this to your

201
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: T Mobile account, it's actually a free device. You just

202
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: have to pay for the monthly which is ten dollars.

203
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: So that's one way to do it. Let's see. The

204
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: other way to do it is I haven't tested this yet,

205
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: but I do have it in for testing. And this

206
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: is brand new. This is a gadget from log Logie Stemistics,

207
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: Loistical Logistomatics, Logistimatics there it is Logistomatics. It's the car

208
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: charger GPS tracker with live audio monitoring. So this tracker

209
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: plugs into your vehicle's charging port. You can hear audio

210
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: from inside the vehicle with a live audio feature and

211
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: it tracks the location and it updates every four hundred

212
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: meters while the vehicle is in motion. So again, this

213
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 1: is probably not going to work if your car is

214
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: turned off because this plugs into your charging port. So

215
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: many cars the charging port, you know, the cigarette lighter

216
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: as we've called it in the past, that turns off

217
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: when the car turns off. So this will only work

218
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: and get an update when the car is in motion

219
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: and when the car is powered. Seventy bucks I believe

220
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: it's for the device, and then fifteen dollars a month

221
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: for the actual service. But these are all going to

222
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: be solutions that you can use. The other thing you

223
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: can look into is a geobit tracker geobit jiob it.

224
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: We did interview this company. They were recently purchased by

225
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: oh gosh, was it Life three sixty. Yeah, they were

226
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: purchased by Life three sixty, so they've got a big

227
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: company behind them. You can just clip this to your

228
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: car inside the car, and that's going to be a

229
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: real time GPS device as well. So a lot of options.

230
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: I think that one of these should work. This has

231
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: a monthly fee as well, but there are so many

232
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: ways to do this. I think that you've got plenty

233
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: of options to help track your daughter and you know,

234
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: have a conversation with her why you want to do this.

235
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't really think that parents should be secretly tracking

236
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: their kids, you know. I think that it's it's better

237
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: to have a conversation and explain so that way everyone's

238
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: kind of upfront about this, and it's it's out of love.

239
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: You want to make sure that if something ever happened,

240
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: you'd be able to find where she is. So there

241
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: you have it, all right, let's talk about the fold.

242
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: So Amazon Samsung's Flip and Fold are on sale now,

243
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: and I've been testing both phones. I tested the Flip,

244
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: which is the smaller of the two, and it's great.

245
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: It's a great little phone. It's fun if you want

246
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: to kind of tiptoe into the whole foldable world. It's

247
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: not the most high powered phone out there, but it's fun.

248
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: It's different. It's like having a regular phone, except at

249
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: folds in half people will ask, oh, wow, what are

250
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: you doing with that thing? Like what's going on there?

251
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: And you'll have plenty of conversations over the next year.

252
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: So can I one recommend it to replace your phone

253
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: that you have if you're in love with it? No,

254
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: but if you want to try something new and you

255
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: don't mind being on the cutting edge, it is a

256
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: really cool phone. I think that I think that Samsung

257
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: has addressed many of the shortcomings, except for the camera.

258
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the camera's still not as good as like

259
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: the best cameras out there. But if you just want

260
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: something that's fun and you know, usable on a daily

261
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: basis and it folds up and it's kind of cool,

262
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: then there you go. And it's a pretty decent price

263
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: point as well. Now the other phone I've really been

264
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: trying to test by By Really, I've been hesitant in

265
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: years past to even hold this thing for more than

266
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: a day or two because I'm like, ah, that's just

267
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: not for me. That's the fold four and that's the

268
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: one that folds in half, so the flip flips up

269
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: and down like an old school flip phone. The fold

270
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: folds in half like a greeting card that you would

271
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: give someone. And this phone has the bigger screen on

272
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: the outside, the giant screen on the inside, and look,

273
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: it is a really amazing device. And the more I

274
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: use it, the more I actually fell in love with

275
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: it. It's just I struggle because it's it's just a there's

276
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: a lot of things that you give up to get

277
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: that foldable, giant inside screen, and so what you're giving

278
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: up is mainly the outside screen that you have to

279
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: do most of your stuff on when you're just casually

280
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: checking email and Twitter and Instagram and all those things,

281
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: is just really narrow and it's a little bit tricky

282
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: to type on. It's a little bit smaller than we've

283
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: gotten used to with our big screen phones, and you know,

284
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: and then when it comes to taking pictures, the cameras

285
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: are good. They're not the best, but you know, you

286
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: can use the rear cameras to take your selfies, which

287
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: is kind of cool. But also, you're touching a lot

288
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: of screen on this phone all the same time, so

289
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: you're always like kind of messing up the screen by

290
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: going into a menu or an app or something that

291
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: you didn't want to because you're always sort of touching

292
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: a screen no matter how you're holding this thing. So otherwise,

293
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: I actually like it. I think I'm gonna take it

294
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: on a flight to kind of see what it feels

295
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: like to actually have like a little cool tablet that's

296
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: your phone. I love the fact that you can fold

297
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: it up. That's kind of fun. I've noticed some quirks,

298
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Like I was listen to Spotify the other day in

299
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: that mode where the phone is sort of flipped a

300
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: folded in half, like a half fold, and so it

301
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: can rest on your desk, and then you can have

302
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: like half the screen facing up. Half the screen is

303
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: resting on your desk. I was listening to Spotify and

304
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: then I got a text and it was like a

305
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: whole big thing to like it flipped into like a

306
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: different landscape versus portrait. So there's a lot of like

307
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: little things. Multitasking is really cool on it. The battery

308
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: life has been pretty good. I mean it's not the best,

309
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: but you know, Samsung's charge up so fast now if

310
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: you have a good charger that it doesn't really matter

311
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: about the battery life, You're gonna get through what you

312
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: need to do. It's just you may have to recharge

313
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: at some point during the day. What else. It's a

314
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: little heavy, it's a little bulky, but I actually like

315
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: the form factor when it's closed because it's really narrow,

316
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: which is kind of nice and refreshing compared to all

317
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: these big phones I test all the time. Let's see,

318
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: it's expensive, it's eighteen hundred dollars, so it's not for everyone. Clearly,

319
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: Samsung has a lot of promotions out there to bring

320
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: the price down and in line with one thing more

321
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: people want to pay. Maybe you're not going to get

322
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: this one really down unless you have a very new

323
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: phone to trade in. The software is good, it's fast,

324
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: the little taskbar at the bottom is really handy, and

325
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: it's it's just a lot. I mean, there's a lot

326
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: going on on this phone. So this is not something

327
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: I can recommend for the average person. This is for

328
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: someone who travels a lot, is maybe not so much

329
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: doing a lot of content creation, but is doing a

330
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: lot of productivity. So I think there's a difference there.

331
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I fall on the content creator

332
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: side more because I'm always recording and editing videos for

333
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: my phone and doing all kinds of like little you know, Canva,

334
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: dot com and all that kind of stuff. Whereas if

335
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: you're like more a business person checking email, sending texts

336
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: and then watching videos on your phone listening to music,

337
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: I think this will be just fine. I use it

338
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: at the gym to do a peloton workout where I

339
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: had the you know, the instructor on the screen. It

340
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: was nice and big and so awesome, So that was

341
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: a cool. Another use of it. The also the earbuds

342
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: that Samsung released this year, the Galaxy Buds Too Pro

343
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: or Galaxy Buds pro to, whatever they're called. They are fantastic.

344
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: I should know what they're called. What are they called?

345
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Let me let me get the name of what they're called,

346
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: so you don't think, Rich I'm listening to and you're

347
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: recommending this stuff and you don't even know what they're called.

348
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: Galaxy Buds to Pro. They are absolutely fantastic. I really

349
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: really like them. The noise cancelation is amazing, the just

350
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: the rubbery feel of them is really great. The case

351
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: is great, the battery lasts, they sound awesome. I can't

352
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: recommend them highly enough. They're expensive. I think they're two

353
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: twenty nine retail, but of course again you can get

354
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: them for cheaper. But I will say I think this

355
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty two is the year that Samsung really

356
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: hit its stride with all of their phones, every single

357
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: one of them. They did a knock it out of

358
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: the park job. Now I think next year, hopefully barring

359
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: any weird changes or things or setbacks that they do,

360
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: I think those phones are gonna be near perfect. The

361
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: foldables are getting to the point where they are really

362
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: really compelling, and so I think it's just the work

363
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: they've done in this area is really cool, and the

364
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: ecosystem is getting to the point where if you want Samsung,

365
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: and you want everything Samsung, from the you know, the

366
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: earbuds to the watch to the phone, you are in

367
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: a very good place at this point. So good job

368
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: Samsung if you get one of these phones. Let me know,

369
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: most people like get them, really love them, and I

370
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: think it's a part that they are adopting something new

371
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: and so they're in their mind they're like, all right,

372
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing this. I'm gonna try this out the foldable.

373
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: The foldables, like if the flip had just a little

374
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,239
Speaker 1: bit of a better camera, I think that would be

375
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: something I would consider switching to, because I love the

376
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: convenience factor the fold I love it, love it, love it.

377
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: But I just don't think it's for me, unfortunately, Because

378
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: I just really really think this is so cool and

379
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: it's great and I love the cutting edge nature of it,

380
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure I'm ready to dive in. And

381
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: so we'll see, But I have I will say, I've

382
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: really really been enjoying Samsung software lately. You know, I

383
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: love the pixel but the software is great, but the

384
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: rest of the package is kind of like eh. Whereas

385
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: the Samsung's they've really come up in the world when

386
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: it comes to like they're getting software updates, they're getting

387
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: the features you want. There's so many little features built in.

388
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: It just makes you feel like you are in command

389
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: of that phone and you can make it act the

390
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: way you want it to act. So there you have it,

391
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: all right, Let's get to another question. Hey, Rich, I

392
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: have a Visio TV that's less than five years old.

393
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: I've always had a problem with the streaming apps. The

394
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: playback is very buggy, with video audios starting, stopping erratically,

395
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: and occasionally locking up for thirty seconds or more at

396
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: a time. Some days it works just fine. I've had

397
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: zero luck identifying any cause for the problems. Issues occur

398
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: when it's on Wi Fi as well as wired internet. Wow,

399
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: that's surprising. And even when no one else is in

400
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: the home and the internet using the internet at all.

401
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: We have an expensive two hundred and fifty megabits per

402
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: second Internet plan, so I don't believe that's the problem.

403
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: This is driving me batty, especially more as more and

404
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: more of our TV time utilizes these streaming services. So

405
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: here's my question. Do I buy a new smart TV

406
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: thinking it's just a problem with this unit, or is

407
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: it time to move to something like a fire stick?

408
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Jennifer in Laguna Hills, Jennifer,

409
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: Laguna Hills. Wasn't that the TV show? Didn't they have that?

410
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Was that? It? Yeah? Laguna? Oh maybe it was Laguna Beach?

411
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: What was it? Or maybe it was The Hills. What

412
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: was the show on MTV? Let's see MTV. Yes, it

413
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: was called Laguna Beach. There was The Hills and Laguna Beach.

414
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: Maybe the Laguna Beach was a spin off. Oh my gosh,

415
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm really dating myself. How old was this? Two thousand?

416
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, two thousand and four to two thousand

417
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: and six. Oh my gosh. This like got me through

418
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: my small markets when I was working in like little

419
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: cities like Shreveport, Louisiana, or maybe I was in New

420
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: York at the time, but it just watching shows about

421
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: La was like a crutch of mine because I just like, oh,

422
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: I want to be back there. But they always make

423
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: these shows look so good. I mean, they really do.

424
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: Like LA never looks so good except in these shows

425
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: where they they shoot the sunset at the right moment.

426
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, LA is a beautiful place,

427
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: but they really hype it up in these TV shows

428
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: and they get it at the they catch it at

429
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: the exact moment that when you see it at that moment,

430
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: you think it's awesome. So okay, so let's see, let's see,

431
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: let's see. Let's uh, let's what am I talking about?

432
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: This visio stuff? All right? So I digress on this

433
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: show so often? All right, So the TV's five years old,

434
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm. I think it's odd that this is happening,

435
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: and I think it's especially odd that is happening on

436
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 1: both your wired internet and on your Wi Fi. So

437
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: I that's so odd, And I don't think it should

438
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: be happening, because if you're wired, there should be no

439
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: audio video issues at all. The only thing I can

440
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: think of is that it's the TV itself and it's

441
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: just a laggy TV because it's just not very high powered.

442
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: Now it is five years old or less, you said,

443
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: so I'm guessing you know four to five years old,

444
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: and I can't say I have a smart TV. I

445
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: do have a smart TV that's that old a Visio actually,

446
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: so I should try this and see. But I never

447
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: use the smart side of it. And this is why

448
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of picking your TV and then you know,

449
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: sort of getting one of these sticks to put in there.

450
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if you get a Roku TV,

451
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: it's built in. If you get a fire TV, it's

452
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: built in. But I mean, I think that number one,

453
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't recommend getting a new TV just yet. I mean,

454
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: you can solve this problem for thirty five dollars potentially.

455
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: So what I'd recommend, like you said, get the fire stick,

456
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: plug it in, set it up, set up your streaming apps,

457
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: and see if it happens. If it doesn't happen, and fine,

458
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: you just bought yourself a couple more years with this TV.

459
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: If it does happen, then I would say, it's probably

460
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: a problem with your Wi Fi. And if it's a

461
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: problem with your Wi Fi, then I think you need

462
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: to look into what's going on on your network. Is

463
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: there a some sort of bottleneck on your network? Is

464
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: there some sort of interference on your network? Move your

465
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: router to a new place, or maybe reset your entire router,

466
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: reset your cable internet box, whatever you want to do

467
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: to get everything sort of back to square one to

468
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: see what's going on. If you're not having problems with

469
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: ther other devices, then that's probably not the issue. But yes,

470
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: get the fire stick, try it out, see what happens,

471
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: and I think that you know, you'll get a new

472
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: lease on your streaming life. So this is why I

473
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 1: like these streaming sticks, because they're upgradeable very easily. I mean,

474
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: I've got a TV that's, you know, pretty old too.

475
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: Both of my TVs are pretty old, and I use

476
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: an Apple TV on one of them, a Firestick on another,

477
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: and then an Apple TV on another one, and they're great.

478
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: And I also have a I had a Roku setup

479
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: and you know, just for testing. And you know, every

480
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: one of these platforms has their pros and cons. But

481
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: what I like about them is whether you go Apple,

482
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: fire or Roku, they're all going to be updated regularly.

483
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: So this video TV, it has its own platform. I

484
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: think it's like smart cast or something, which is fine,

485
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of people have videos, but let's be real,

486
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: when people talk about streaming services sticks they talk are

487
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: streaming boxes, they're talking about Roku, they're talking about Fire,

488
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: and they're talking about Apple and sometimes Chrome cast. So

489
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: Visio is in there, but it's just kind of a

490
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: distant in there. And so yeah, they're updating apps and

491
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: they're adding apps and they're adding features. But realistically, these

492
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: main platforms are going to be updated with the best

493
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: software and the fastest. So try it out, Jennifer, let

494
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: me know what you think and hopefully you get your No.

495
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: One wants to be buffering when you're watching stuff. That's

496
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: not fun at all. All right, let's talk. Wow, we're

497
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: this far in the show and we haven't even talked

498
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: about the iPhone. So iPhone fourteen event is confirmed for

499
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: September seventh. I got an invite to the event, which

500
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: is happening at the Coopertino campus, which is cool. I

501
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: don't know what the format is gonna be. Last time

502
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: we went up there for WWDC it was outside. Oh okay. Well,

503
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: according to nine to five Mac, they say the in

504
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: person component will take place in the Steve Jobs Theater.

505
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: There you go, okay, so huh interesting. So with that said,

506
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like we're getting back to a slightly standardized

507
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: Apple event, which typically you go in there, you sit

508
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: in the Steve Jobs Theater, live on stage, they demo

509
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: all the stuff. I don't know if that's gonna be

510
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: happening or if this is still gonna be taped, but

511
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: and then and then they let all the journalists out

512
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: into an area that has a hands on area where

513
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of a free for all where you go

514
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: hands on with all the new devices. They're just, oh,

515
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: my gosh, so many people fighting for not fighting and

516
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: for real, but just like trying to get their hands

517
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: on these devices so that they can be among the

518
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: first to tweet them out and get their coverage for

519
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: TV and radio and all this other stuff. That's what

520
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: the lineup is. So iPhone fourteen, we're expecting a couple

521
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: of new models. The tagline for the event was is

522
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: I should say is far out And it showed sort

523
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: of an Apple logo swirling around made of stars or

524
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: in the space. So this has led people to speculate

525
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: what the new iPhone will have as a feature, and

526
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: some people have said it's going to be a zoom lens.

527
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: Some people are bigger zoom. Some people have said it's

528
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: going to be astrophotography. Some people have said it's going

529
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: to be more megapixels, so we don't know, and we

530
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: never know until it actually happens. There's so many rumors,

531
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: there are a dime a dozen, but the reality is,

532
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: I think at this point all you need to know

533
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: is that the iPhone event is happening on September seventh.

534
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: If you're thinking about buying a phone, maybe wait until

535
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: then because prices do change, or you can kind of

536
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: get the full scope of what your availability and what

537
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: your offers are. And also, you know, we should see

538
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: a new Apple Watch, maybe some new iPads, maybe some

539
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: new MacBooks. You just never know, but typically this event

540
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: is reserved for the iPhone and Apple Watch. And so

541
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: that's what I expect to see the iPhones this year.

542
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get into too many rumors

543
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: because there's just so many of them and I don't

544
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: really care about them until I hear until I see

545
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: it for myself. But the rumor mill says that the

546
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: lower model phones, the iPhone fourteen, will keep the same

547
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: processor as a thirteen and maybe get a little bit

548
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: of improvements here and there, but the iPhone fourteen pros

549
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: will be the ones that get a much better processor,

550
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: much better camera. So we will see and I think

551
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: and the iPhone Mini is going to be dead, so

552
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens during this event. But again it's

553
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: happening September seventh, the expected on sale date. And again

554
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: this is a rumor is that the iPhone fourteen would

555
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: go on sale in September fourteenth, which makes sense. It's

556
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: a Friday, it's the fourteenth, it's the same day as

557
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: the model number, so that all makes a lot of sense.

558
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. I will be there at the Apple event

559
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: to bring you all of the updates. All right, next

560
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: question here, uh Roger, Let's see this doesn't look like

561
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: a question, more like just a mention. Hey, Rich, I

562
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: wrote to you for your recommendations to replace the iPod

563
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: and iTunes. Well, most of the candidates were basically the same,

564
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: so I went with a Sony Walkman NW one five

565
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: A for two main reasons nostalgia, the og of portable

566
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: cassette players, and the cool cassette tape screen saver. Since

567
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: again for my usage, all offered basically what I need. Yes,

568
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 1: it takes some time to get used to and how

569
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: to operate it, but so far I'm successful in purchasing

570
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: and downloading songs. I need to see how to burn

571
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: CDs then tran for it to the Walkman. I see

572
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: it's similar to a file directory and a PC. Just

573
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: drag and drop. Anyway, I just wanted to get back

574
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: to you since you were so kind and gave me

575
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: a list of your replacement choices. Thank you and see

576
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: you on the tube. All right, Well this is an

577
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: interesting uh, Roger, this is an interesting choice. So the

578
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: player that you got is three hundred dollars, which is expensive.

579
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: It's it's basically all screen on the front. It's a

580
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: small uh that's cool. It does have a tape screen saver,

581
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: which is cool. It's a Sony Walkman. But the new

582
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: Walkman has a micro SD card on it. And this

583
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: is for the person who I guess does not have

584
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: an iPhone, does not want an iPhone, does not want

585
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: to use their Android device as a music player. You

586
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: want a dedicated MP three player, and there could be

587
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons for that. I'm not sure what

588
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: you need this for or why you wanted it, but

589
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: I can't remember the original email. But you're right, it's

590
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: just a dragon drop and so I get a lot

591
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: of emails from people saying, rich, how do I get

592
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: my songs off of the iPod? I've got an old

593
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: iPod sitting around? How do I get my songs off?

594
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: I can't seem to find a way. And the answer is,

595
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: there's not an easy way. Apple made these devices one

596
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 1: way for some reason, and I don't know if that

597
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: was for you know, file sharing or copying or you know,

598
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: what's the term the DC what is it copyright stuff?

599
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why did they do that. I'm not sure,

600
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: but they did. And so yes, there's some apps that

601
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: will help you, you know, crack into these things and

602
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: liberate your music. But you know, something like the Walkman

603
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: that you have, it's just a simple drag and drop

604
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: one way or the other. You can drag it on,

605
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: you can drag it off, you can delete, you can

606
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. And there are some apps that

607
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: let you do this with the iPhone. They're not as

608
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: there's still one way. But an app I really like

609
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: that is super simple is called Walter w A L

610
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: w A W hold on, let me find exactly how

611
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: it's spelled. W A l t R w A l

612
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: t R Walter Pro And what's cool about this app

613
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: from soft a Reno is that you can drag and

614
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: drop pretty much any file onto an iPhone or an

615
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: iPad and it will put it in its place where

616
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: it needs to go. So whether it's an MP three file,

617
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean really the other thing is any format. So

618
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: this the formats that this works with is pretty pretty amazing.

619
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: Let's see, do they have a list of formats that

620
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: they that it works with. It will, It will transform

621
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: it into a the proper format and put it right

622
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: into the app that it needs to go in. So

623
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: if it needs to go into Apple Music, if it

624
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: needs to go into Photos, if it needs to go

625
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: into you know whatever, it will go there. So it's

626
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: kind of a cool little app. Highly highly recommend it.

627
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, it's on the Oh wow, Okay, that's anyway.

628
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: So they have a lot of little things that they

629
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: can do. And they also have a new free app

630
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: called files by Walter, Simple File Manager for your iPhone

631
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: to quickly drop and share files across any iOS app

632
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: with I message app built in. That's really cool. So

633
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: I think that this is something that anyway, if you

634
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: it's not going to get the stuff off, but it's

635
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: going to help you easily get stuff on because I

636
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: know they changed the way that iTunes works and so

637
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different these days and it's not

638
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: as supported. So this is a super simple way to

639
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: drag stuff onto your iPhone. And it sounds like Roger.

640
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: You don't need this because you are on the Walkmanded

641
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: the Walkman Bandwagon. Once again. It's kind of fun, it's different,

642
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: and this is you know, there's a lot of different

643
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: folks out there, a lot of different ways to do things,

644
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: and you found a different way. So good for you.

645
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about fibit. Fipbit has a new

646
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: fall lineup. They've got three new products that are coming out.

647
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend a whole bunch of time

648
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: because these are sort of, you know, iterations on what's

649
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: already working. If you like the fitbit, everyone's waiting for

650
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: sort of the pixel watch, and they're also waiting for

651
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 1: when Fitbit becomes you know, just gobbled up by Apple

652
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: and just are gobbled up by Google completely and they

653
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: start just making these like Google devices. So right now

654
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: they're still kind of keeping that fitbit world. There haven't

655
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a huge takeover in software by Google,

656
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: but I'm sure there's a little bits of Google blended

657
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: in just taking a look at these. There's three. There's

658
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: the Inspire three, which is sort of the cheapest band

659
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: that I think most people will buy. It's basically the

660
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: classic fitbit tracker, but with a lot of features. Now,

661
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: I mean, this thing's a hundred bucks and you get

662
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: so much stuff. You you know, can track your activities,

663
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: you get ten days of battery life, there's all kinds

664
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: of metrics that it'll it'll track. There's no GPS on board,

665
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: but it's simple. It's easy. If you're just trying to

666
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: track your steps, your basic activity, it's going to be perfect.

667
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: Then you move up to the Versa four and the

668
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: Sense too. The Versa is kind of like they're middle

669
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: of the ground device. It looks like an Apple y,

670
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: maybe not as expensive and not as full featured, but

671
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 1: it's fitness focused. It's got forty exercise modes, real time stats,

672
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: the GPS is built in, Active Zone minutes is built in.

673
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: You get six days of battery life. It's thinner and

674
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: it's lighter. And the new wristbands that they have on

675
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: these things, I mean, they really took a page from Apple,

676
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: and they look identical to the Apple wristband, So I mean,

677
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, people like to copy a good thing. The

678
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: Apple wristbands when those came out were just brilliant, and

679
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: now we're getting to see those on the fitbits as well.

680
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: The Sense too is the most advanced. This is basically

681
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: a health focused smart watch. This has more than six

682
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: days of battery life, helps you manage stress, which I

683
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: think is pretty cool. It tracks your heart rate health

684
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: with sensors that can detect a fib It's got heart

685
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: rate variability, which is good. If your heart rate goes

686
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: really high or really low, it'll notify you. It's got

687
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: skin temperature which is really neat and rumored to be

688
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: in the Apple Watch or the new one. And it

689
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: measures your stress all day long. So that's kind of cool. Now,

690
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: what about the prices on these things? So I mentioned

691
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: the first one is the Inspire threes one hundred bucks,

692
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: the Versa four. Let's see how much this one is.

693
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: Versa four is two hundred and thirty dollars and the

694
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: Cents two is three hundred dollars. And they all include

695
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: that six month premium membership you know the name of

696
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: the game. These days is all about subscriptions, so you

697
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: do have to pay for a subscription eventually if you

698
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: want the premium stuff, which you probably will break down

699
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: and do. But again, these are an option if you

700
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: don't want an Apple Watch. I think these look pretty great.

701
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: I like the idea of these. I like them as

702
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: an alternative to the Apple Watch if you have an

703
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: Android device. I think that the pixel Watch is going

704
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: to be good, and I know a lot of people

705
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: are waiting for that, but I'm not sure, and I

706
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it'll be better than the fitbits, but

707
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: I think Fipbit has been doing their thing for a

708
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: very long time. People are used to the Fitbit, and

709
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: so I think that these have evolved over the years

710
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: to be exactly what people need when it comes to

711
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: just basic fitness trackers and also a little bit more.

712
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: And so the pixel Watches is more of a smart

713
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: watch versus these. These are sort of more fitness focused

714
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: first and then they also do some smart things. But

715
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: we'll say, lots of options for people. Whether you get

716
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: a Fitbit, whether you get the Samsung Watches, whether you

717
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: get the new upcoming pixel Watch, or the Apple Watch,

718
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: which is sort of the og and still I think

719
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: is one of the better things out there. But there's

720
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 1: so many options that I think whatever's best for you

721
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: and you're happy with, that's what you need. All right.

722
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: Let's get to the next question, and this one Carol says, Rich,

723
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: do you know if any of the new fitbits with

724
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 1: heart rate monitor can sync with the fitbit dashboard on PC?

725
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: And so that question goes right into the last thing

726
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: that I just talked about. And let's see what I

727
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: found this article from nine to five. I wasn't familiar

728
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: with this app, this desktop app that Carol was talking about,

729
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: but I assumed because most of the companies are getting

730
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: away from desktop apps. It's not very often that we

731
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: see desktop apps anymore. Most of the companies put their

732
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: effort into web apps, and that's kind of the reality.

733
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: Even on my computer, there's no Google Photos app. I

734
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: have a what's called a Progressive web app a PWA

735
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: that is installed on my computer. But it's it's basically

736
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: when you click it, it just opens up a web

737
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: browser into the Google Photos app. And I've got the

738
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: same thing for Outlook. So I think it's easy, it's simple,

739
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: there's less installation on your computer. And because so many

740
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: people use chromebooks anyway. A lot of those are similar,

741
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: like you can do you can do so much on

742
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: your on the web these days, like all these you know,

743
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: nobody downloads like a photo editing program anymore. They just

744
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: use Canva or they use you know, something on the

745
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: way web that helps them edit or trim or do

746
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: something to their picture or crop it whatever. On our phones,

747
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's the opposite because the iPhone has made

748
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: the apps so prevalent, we haven't seen as many of

749
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: these web apps take place on the iPhone now on

750
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: Android for a little bit there, we saw that trend

751
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: where you know, oh, you can do anything with the

752
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,959
Speaker 1: web apps on the iPhone on the Android. But yeah,

753
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: Android's the same way. They it's all about apps on

754
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: the phone, so phone apps desktop more about the web

755
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: and what you can do on the web. So when

756
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: I saw this, I was like, I don't really think

757
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: that they're probably gonna continue with the fippit app for

758
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: the desktop, And sure enough nine to five Google says

759
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: fippit is removing the Mac and PC sinking and transfer

760
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: music this year. Looks like it is going away. On

761
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: October thirteenth, twenty twenty two, so you have a little

762
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: bit of time to do this. But otherwise they want

763
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: you to use the fippit app on Android and iOS.

764
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: But Carol, bad news. I don't think these new products

765
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: will well do that, that's for sure, because it's just

766
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: again it's all about the the web apps and it's

767
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: all about the apps on your phone. Good question though,

768
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: all right, speaking of apps on your phone. Oh, the

769
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: free ride is so over. I mean, I know you've

770
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: been seeing all the prices go up on just about everything,

771
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: but also you know all these things that we took

772
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: for granted, for free online, all the apps that we use,

773
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: all these free products and services, Like, for instance, I've

774
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: been using this free app or this free website called

775
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: promo dot com. They have this great image resizer that

776
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: you pop. You drag an image onto it, and it

777
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: resizes it for every single social media network you can imagine,

778
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: whether it's Twitter, whether it's Google, whether it's Facebook LinkedIn,

779
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: but not just resizes it it, it resizes it in

780
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: all the different formats for that social media network. So

781
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: for instance, on Instagram, when you drag it in, it'll

782
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: give you a profile pick that's three twenty by three

783
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: twenty it'll give you a square picture ten eighty by

784
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: ten eighty. It'll give you a landscape post ten eighty

785
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: by five sixty six. It'll give you a portrait post

786
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: ten eighty by thirteen fifty. It'll give you a square

787
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: ten eighty by ten eighty. It'll give you a reels

788
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: ten eighty by nineteen twenty. It'll give you an IGTV

789
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: cover four twenty by six fifty four. So it's a

790
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: really handy way to you know, adapt a thumbnail for

791
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: basically anything you need it for. And I use that

792
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: for so many years or however long it's been around,

793
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: and then one day I go to use it and

794
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, sorry, you got to sign up to

795
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: use this. Now it's still free, but it's like, okay,

796
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of friction there. And now every

797
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: time I use it, sometimes I'm logged in, sometimes i'm not.

798
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: So again, this free, totally free public product went behind

799
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: a login wall. It's not a pay login wall, but

800
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: it's still a log in wall, and so it's just

801
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of the friction. They collect an email address.

802
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: Now they can market to me. I've been getting email

803
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: saying sign up for you know, a paid product from us,

804
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: and it's just like ugh, same thing with a lot

805
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: of other products. It's just the thing that's happening is

806
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: that these companies want to make money. And so I

807
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: say this all because Microsoft Outlook. If you use their

808
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: email app, they are going to be showing more ads

809
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: inside their app. So according to nine to five Mac,

810
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: they have about five hundred million users around the world.

811
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many of those are free users

812
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: versus paid users. I use Outlook, but I have a

813
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: corporate account with it, so I am not going to

814
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: see ads. You have a corporate account, you're not going

815
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: to see ads. If you have a standard account, you

816
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: will see more ads. So if you use Outlook with

817
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: another account or your own free account, you're going to

818
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: start seeing more ads, and not just in the other inbox,

819
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: because I guess they were always sort of lingering in

820
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: the other inbox. Now they're going to be inside the

821
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: focused inbox. And the focused inbox is where your most

822
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: important emails live, so that means you're probably gonna see

823
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: these ads more often because they're they're mixed into your

824
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: regular emails. And so so again the free ride is

825
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: over this Microsoft, big company. A lot of money. But

826
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: they're sitting there saying, We've got a lot of users

827
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: of this app, and so far it's been a free

828
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: lunch for them. But why, I mean, they're using something

829
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: that takes us resources and energy to update and to

830
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: patch and to keep you going. And so now we're

831
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: going to show them ads and by turning these on

832
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: or turning them up, they are literally just printing money

833
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: that can be used to maintain this app or add

834
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: to the bottom line of Microsoft. So Microsoft Outlook, if

835
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: you're using it for iOS or Android on a free account,

836
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: just keep in mind if you start seeing those apps, say,

837
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Rich mentioned something about that, but if you're

838
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: on a corporate account, you should not see those. And

839
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: apparently the Outlook app only showed ads in the other

840
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: tab for free users. But yes, it will be coming

841
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: to the focused tab. All right, let's get to the

842
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 1: next question of the podcast. So many questions, Robert says,

843
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: iPhone thirteen anti virus app. We just purchased the iPhone

844
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: thirteen and updated the software. Should we also purchase Norton

845
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: three sixty or McAfee. I apologize if you've already addressed this,

846
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: but I'm currently caretaking for my husband and very often

847
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: unable to watch TV. I appreciate your knowledge regarding the

848
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: Apple Uh Robert, So, um, do you need an anti

849
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: virus app on your iPhone? I don't think so. I

850
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: think that spending money on something like Norton three sixty

851
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: or McAfee is kind of a waste of money for

852
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: your iPhone because the iPhone, I've said this before, does

853
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: not work in the way that your computer does, and

854
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: therefore these apps can't really protect you against anything. Now,

855
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: if you're running everything through a VPN, perhaps it can

856
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: catch a malicious link or something like that. But the

857
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: reality is the way that these the iPhone works is

858
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: most things are sandboxed, so you're not going to have

859
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: a huge problem with an app interacting with the rest

860
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: of your device unless there is a major, major exploit

861
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: on your device, and that's a whole other issue. But

862
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: for day to day random stuff, most of the time,

863
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: your biggest threat is going to be a phishing email

864
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: or a phishing text, or a text that takes you

865
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: to a malicious website, and maybe these apps can protect

866
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: you from that, but I don't think that they do

867
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: a very good job of that on the iPhone. Just

868
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: due to the architecture of the iPhone. I think you're

869
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: better with something like Chrome that's actively trying to protect

870
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: you with various scans of the links you're clicking in

871
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, So I don't think you need it.

872
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: I think that more importantly, you should be aware of

873
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: what you're doing on your phone, and I think that

874
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: you should be keeping the software on your phone up

875
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: to date. I think that's the most important thing here,

876
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: is make sure that you don't have any vulnerabilities on

877
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: your operating system or your apps by keeping them up

878
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: to date. And that is I think the most important

879
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle here. So save your money, no

880
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: need to get these apps on your phone at least,

881
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: and just you know, just be aware of what you're doing.

882
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: And I think you should be okay, all right Wordle?

883
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: Who is still playing Wordle? Are you? I'm not. I

884
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: kind of stopped, but maybe I'll play again now that

885
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of installed on my phone. Wordle is this

886
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: app or this it was a web app? Talk about

887
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: web apps that people see. This is where it kind

888
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: of caused some confusion. When Wordle first came out, it

889
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: was only available as a web app, and you had

890
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: to kind of add a bookmark to your homepage on

891
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: your iPhone if you wanted to play. Otherwise, you could

892
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: play it on the website on the desktop. And then

893
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: what happened was, when Wordle first came out, everyone said, ooh,

894
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,919
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity here. We know that people are gonna

895
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: be searching the app store for Wordle, so let's make

896
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: fake Wordle apps. And so they did, and some of

897
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: them were malicious, some of them were just whatever. Some

898
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: of them tried to get you to pay. But Wordle

899
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: was never available as an app until now. And now

900
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: New York Times bought Wordle for about a million bucks

901
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: or something in that area a couple months after it launched,

902
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: and they mixed it into their games offering. Now, Wordle

903
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: is built into the New York Times Crossword app. You

904
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: may or may not have this installed already on your phone.

905
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: I do, so I opened it up and sure enough,

906
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: there's Wordle. And the cool thing about this, it's available

907
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: Apple Google Play. If you are a person that likes

908
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: your streak, you can now log in and save it,

909
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: save your streaks and your stats, or a free New

910
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: York Times account, which if you have that pretty simple

911
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: you can also pick up where you left off on

912
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: any device. So I was not a big wordle like

913
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: streak person, but I think there were some issues with

914
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: if something changed and you, like, I don't know, deleted

915
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: the bookmark or cleared your cookies or whatever you did

916
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: on your phone, you would lose your entire streak. That

917
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: no longer is the case. If you have a New

918
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: York Times account, you can use various devices, You can

919
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: see your streak, you can save your streaks, all that

920
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: good stuff. Not much more to say about that. It,

921
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a matter of is this game.

922
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: Does this game have the lasting power of a fun

923
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: game like a crossword puzzle or Sodoku or any of

924
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: these other games, these word games that come and go.

925
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: It seems like people are still playing it. I don't

926
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: definitely don't see the tweets like I used to. I mean,

927
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: there used to be a lot more tweets about this stuff.

928
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: But you know, things come and go and it's still fun.

929
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: It's inside the app. I think that's gonna make it

930
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: a lot easier to access for a lot of people.

931
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: And so yeah, go check it out. If you've got

932
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: the New York Time. It's not the crosswords app. It's

933
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: the crossword app New York Times Crossword App. There's no

934
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: plural there. iOS and Android wordle is baked inside now,

935
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: so go check it out. Patrick says, hey, Rich, we're

936
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: heading too England. In England and Ireland in September October.

937
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: My Team Mobile gives me unlimited data in both countries.

938
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: Some bills will have to be paid while we're gone.

939
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: Do you know what will be the most secure? My

940
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: iPhone hospat our hotel Wi Fi. Thank you you've been

941
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: a great sources I prepare for this trip. Patrick. I

942
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: don't know if I read this question in the last podcast,

943
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: but if I did, I forgive forgive me, but yeah,

944
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: I would use your iPhone hot spot for sure. Now,

945
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: I think you'll be fine on the hotel WiFi. But

946
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: it's always best to be safe and secure if you're

947
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: doing banking. So if you're doing banking, log it in,

948
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: go ahead and use your iPhone hotspot. That's going to

949
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: be the safest way to do it. If you're using

950
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: a hotel Wi Fi, you can use a trusted VPN

951
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: to do it, or you can just do it and

952
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: take your chances. You'll probably be fine. But I would.

953
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: I would. I think it's safer if you're asking this

954
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: question to use your iPhone hot spot if you have

955
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: that option, So uh yeah, that's you know, the hot

956
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: spot is the cellular connection is always going to be

957
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: the most secure connection to a website. Hotel wi fi,

958
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,959
Speaker 1: I know, it's scary anyone can see what you're doing

959
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: on public wi fi. Not exactly true, but especially most

960
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: of the websites nowadays are encrypted, so they may see

961
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: that you're visiting that website, but they should not be

962
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: able to as long as that's a secured transmission, they

963
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: should not be able to see what you're doing on

964
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 1: that website. So again, they can see you visited the website,

965
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: they may not see what you do once you're on

966
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: that website. That's a big delineation there. But again, because

967
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: it's a public network, because it has access to a

968
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: lot of people, or a lot of people have access

969
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: to it, there could be some malicious actors on that

970
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,280
Speaker 1: site or on that network, and they could have installed

971
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: something that intercepts the traffic or whatever. So just to

972
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: be safe, I would go with my iPhone hotspot. But

973
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 1: in general, hotel WiFi is going to be just fine

974
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: for what you need to do, like Netflix and surfing

975
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: the web and checking your email and all that good stuff.

976
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: I think you're going to be okay with that. But

977
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: when end out, use a VPN or use the iPhone hotspot,

978
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: and that will be a much more secure way to

979
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: do it. Tim says, I just listened to you talking

980
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: on your podcast about Fire versus Roku. Oh yes, I

981
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: talked about it in the last show. I said how

982
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: they're both pretty much equal, and I said that Roku

983
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: was kind of like the Switzerland of streaming services. But

984
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: he says it is unfortunate, but Fire does not support

985
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: the spectrum map. I tried to siload it with three

986
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: different versions. It did not work, by the way. I've

987
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: had the fire stick and it was very slow. Then

988
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: I got the Cube. But it's much faster, more ram better,

989
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: and faster processor regards Tim. Yeah, Tim. Some of the

990
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: and this is what I don't like about Amazon is

991
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: that they sell these really really cheap fire sticks, which

992
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: people gobble up, especially during Prime Day and this, and

993
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: that they're like ten dollars, twelve dollars, you know, they're

994
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars on a regular day, and they are

995
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: so slow right out of the gate, and it's like

996
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: they're just infiltrating so many people's homes to these super

997
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: slow streaming sticks. When if you spend the thirty five

998
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: bucks or the fifty five dollars for the max I

999
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 1: think it's called the max, which is when I got

1000
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: or yeah, better yet, the Cube. The problem is when

1001
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: you're looking at these fire sticks, you don't realize the

1002
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: average person doesn't realize that there's such a huge difference

1003
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: in like the processing power and memory on these things.

1004
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: And so you see twelve dollars for a firestick versus

1005
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, and you're like, why would I spend

1006
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars for the same thing. I don't need

1007
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: all those extra fancy features. Oops, I don't need all

1008
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: those extrape just drop my iPhone. That's why I always

1009
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: like to have a case on my phone. You never

1010
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: know if you're gonna drop it and scuff it. But

1011
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 1: the point is, uh, yeah, I agree, you get the cube,

1012
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: get THEE at least, get the fire TV Max and

1013
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: that fire TV Stick Max. I think though, get the

1014
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: four K version, like I think they're all four K

1015
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: at this point, but get the highest one. You can afford,

1016
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: because you're gonna you're gonna. It's gonna be the loading

1017
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: times of the apps is really where you notice it

1018
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: once it's streaming, not that big of a deal. Doesn't

1019
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: take much to stream. It's more about switching between apps

1020
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: and loading apps and downloading things. That's when you're really

1021
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: gonna notice a difference. Now with your question about Spectrum,

1022
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 1: you're right. There is no Spectrum for the Fire TV,

1023
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: so you gotta go Roku if you are using the

1024
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: Spectrum app. A lot of people. If you have Spectrum,

1025
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: you are going to be streaming some cable stuff through Spectrum.

1026
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you want that and that's a priority,

1027
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: definitely go with Roku over Fire. But good insight there, Tim,

1028
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for adding that. All Right, Before I go, let

1029
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: me just talk about TV chef Giata. So I talk

1030
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: about this last podcast. I never remember, but I think

1031
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: I met her after I recorded my last podcast. So

1032
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: this is what I love about my job. I get

1033
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,399
Speaker 1: to meet people in real life that I never thought

1034
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: I would. And I talked about this with Cris Bianco,

1035
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: the Pizza Guy, a couple of weeks ago. Now it's Giata.

1036
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's something about rich and tech with food.

1037
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it is, but it's definitely there.

1038
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: And I've been doing a lot of robots making food

1039
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,240
Speaker 1: restaurants and the impact that technology has had on them.

1040
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: But it's clear that there is a link between food

1041
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: and technology. And so I talked to Giada, got to

1042
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 1: meet her last week and she was really really great.

1043
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: You know Jiada from the Food Network. She's kind of

1044
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: up there with Bobby Flay, Giada, Guy Fieri, and who's

1045
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: the other one, oh, Rachel Ray. These are like the

1046
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: OG's of the Food Network. These people have built empires.

1047
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking empires on their TV shows. And

1048
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: I say that not lightly. I was watching the h

1049
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: I subscribe to Discovery Plus so I can watch this

1050
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: new show with Bobby Flay and his daughter. The show

1051
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: name is Bobby and Sophie on the Coast. So I

1052
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: haven't met Bobby Flay's daughter, Sophie in person, but we

1053
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: chat on social media. She's very nice, and you know,

1054
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool to watch her up and coming

1055
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: rising star as her dad has kind of you know,

1056
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: been around for many, many years. And anyway, so I

1057
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: was looking at last night, just browsing Discovery Plus, which

1058
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: I subscribe to to watch their show, and which I

1059
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: got free through Verizon by the way, so if you

1060
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: have Verizon, it might be including your plan for a

1061
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: couple months. But I say this all because there were

1062
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: like twenty six seasons of Beat Bobby Flay, which I

1063
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, that's a lot of shows. And then

1064
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: I was looking at Guy Fieri who has Diners, Drive Ins,

1065
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: and Dives, and he has so many shows. And then Giada,

1066
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: she's been doing this for fifteen years on Food Network,

1067
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: so so many. Anyway, these people have built a great

1068
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 1: brand for themselves and really really cool stuff. And she

1069
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: was talking to me about her new website, Giazzi, that

1070
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: sells two hundred Italian specialties. So of course, if you're Giata,

1071
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: everyone wants to know, well, what's the pasta you're boiling,

1072
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: or what's the olive oil that you're using, or what's

1073
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: the olives that you're serving at your party. And so

1074
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: now she's like, huh, I should make a website with

1075
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: all these curated products, and she did. So these are

1076
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: all products that she got from Italy and and now

1077
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,399
Speaker 1: she sells them directly to people, and it's just kind

1078
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: of a cool thing. Now Here in Los Angeles we

1079
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: have something called Italy which sells a lot of these

1080
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: Italian products. But again, even when you're there, you're like, way,

1081
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: which olives do I get? So if you live in

1082
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: a place that doesn't necessarily have that, like somewhere in

1083
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, the rest of the US or outside of

1084
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 1: New York or Los Angeles, this is a cool thing

1085
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: that you can go to Giada's website and say, oh, hey,

1086
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: I know Giada likes these olives. I'm gonna buy them

1087
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: or this jam or these cookies. I had one of

1088
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: these Amaretto cookies. I say Amoretti. It was so I

1089
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: love that Ani. How do you say anni eas or anazette?

1090
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: I guess it's anisett anazette flavor. Not everyone likes the

1091
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: anazette flavor. It's like a licorice flavor. I love annazette.

1092
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: Anything is just it's my favorite. I just love it,

1093
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: like the you know, the black jelly beans I love

1094
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: during Easter. I love Stella. Dora has these Anazette cookies,

1095
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: which I guess are kind of an imitation of what

1096
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: Giada gave me for real from Italy, and it was

1097
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: just so good. Anyway, So I love that flavor. It's

1098
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: a very like you know, not many people like I

1099
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: like fennel. Fenel is a very similar flavor. It's kind

1100
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: of that black licorice flavor. Right. If you like that,

1101
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: you know you'll like anazette or vice versa. So anyway,

1102
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: why do I tell you all this? It was just

1103
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: cool to meet her, just kind of fun. And we

1104
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: talked about social media, we talked about tech. I'm always,

1105
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, fascinated by a celebrity who's done very well

1106
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: for themselves, but you know, they still have an iPhone

1107
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: and they still sit there and they have to post

1108
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: on social media. Yes, some of them have teams that

1109
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: do it, but you know they still have to kind

1110
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: of come up with ways of doing this stuff. Even

1111
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: if you're you know, celebrity on TV, you know, you

1112
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: gotta have some sort of presence these days. So it's

1113
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: kind of fun. If you want to watch my story

1114
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: with Giata ooh, I tasted this this cheese with lemon honey.

1115
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: Oh so good. It was so delicious. You had this

1116
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: antipasto spread that was just amazing. It like, looks so cool.

1117
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: It's a whole tape. I also learned that Charcuterie is

1118
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: French and Topasto is Italian. So the things that you

1119
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: learn and the people that you meet, it's why I
