So so many things happened in the tech 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.640 world this week. I know we survived cyber Monday. Cyber 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.080 Monday happened, and I know I did a lot of 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.160 shopping on Cyber Monday. I'm sure you did too. I 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:02.280 thought the prices were just phenomenal. I really really got 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.280 some good stuff. I mean everything I bought, and I'm 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:05.679 not going to go over the list of everything, but 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.880 I bought a lot of stuff, not tons of stuff, 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.440 like not that much, but I bought a lot and 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.720 I loved it. I mean every price I got on 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.040 there I felt good about and I love feeling good 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.000 about the prices that I pay for things. I'm talking like, 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.880 I want to get this, like these magnetic building blocks, 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.080 and Amazon had a flash sale on them and they 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.560 were like forty I think forty dollars off from what 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.360 you would normally pay. And believe me, I have told 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.840 you know. I've been searching for these prices. I kept 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.960 a list. I was very smart this year. I kept 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.040 a list, and I basically on Cyber Monday just went 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.160 ahead on that list and went down the list and 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.640 looked for the stuff I wanted to buy, and I 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.760 got it all pretty much. I'm not going to tell 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.120 you what I got because it's mostly gifts for people, 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:52.920 but I'll tell you what other people bought. This is 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.680 according to Ernie. Now. This is the app that I 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.120 really like that helps you get refunds for price drops. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.320 If you buy something on Amazon or up to thirty 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.600 other retailers the price drops within ninety days, they will 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.320 basically get you your money back as a rebate. And 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.360 the way they do it is they'll just ask your 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.040 credit card for a rebate on the price difference, and 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.959 it works pretty well. I get payper checks, which is 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.520 kind of annoying. I don't like that. I wish they 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.680 would some credit cards. I know, do credit you right 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.560 to your card. I get payper checks sent in the 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:23.920 mail and I get a bunch of them. In fact, 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.280 I have a bunch over here. They're usually for two 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.320 three four bucks. Anyway, the app is called Ernie ear 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.760 and wy if you want to try it out. But 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:35.320 here's their top ten Amazon. Number one item all new 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.360 Fire TV stick and where's mine. I actually, I actually 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.080 was one of the people that purchased that. I'm not 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.480 giving this away. This is my Fire TV stick. I 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:44.960 bought that as a gift for someone. I'm not going 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.200 to say who, but I bought that. It was like 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.520 twenty two dollars, I think, which was a great deal. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.959 Number two Echo Dot. Number three was a smart plug. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.280 Oh my gosh. Number three was a smart plug. You 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.120 guys heard on the last show.

Those things are just super popular 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.800 because they're so cheap. It's like twenty five bucks and 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.880 you get, you know, streaming on your TV all kinds 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.480 of services.

You will 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.720 absolutely love it. I love the Google Home Mini. It's 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.200 a little personal voice assistant, it's a speaker, it can 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.480 control your smart home. There's so many things that it 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.080 does really well, and you need to get one of 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.320 those things. It's just such a nice little device to have, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:53.000 one of my favorite devices. Next up Fingerling. So finally 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.200 we get into some toys. So Fingerling is those If 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.160 you haven't seen these things, you gotta you gotta search 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.600 them online. These are a little monkey that sort of 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.320 hang from your I don't know your finger And number 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.200 three at Walmart was also the Fingerlings. Actually everything at 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.120 Walmart is kind of interesting what people buy at different places. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:15.280 Best Buy obviously it's called tech first thing.

So there you have it. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:29.240 The top cyber Monday purchases over from Ernie again. Phone 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:30.520 number if you want to call in you got a 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.640 tech question, give me a call. It's three one zero 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.840 five nine four three zero zero three three one zero 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.560 five nine four three zero zero three. Phone lines are open. Yes, 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.640 you can talk to me Rich on tech and we'll 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.280 get through. You can tell me anything. You can talk 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.200 about tech. You can ask me a question, or you 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.400 can tell me your favorite gadget, what you're doing for 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.400 the holidays. I don't care, We'll just chat. This week 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:57.920 was crazy because there was an Apple security issue and Apple, 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.480 I said, they've been getting a little sloppy. They have. 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.920 We've seen a lot of issues with the iPhone and 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.880 some of their Mac software. But here's the thing. When 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.240 I say sloppy, Apple still comes out with amazing hardware. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.279 What they're doing is they're just getting a little slopy 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.200 because they're delivering software a little bit faster these days. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.760 So it's nothing against Apple. Believe me, everyone's doing it 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.200 because we live in a very competitive world. And the 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.320 good news is that just because Apple is being a 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.480 little sloppy with the software doesn't mean that things are bad. 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.719 They can usually correct all these problems on their devices 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.080 with a software update. And that's the good news about 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.640 the world we live in is that ninety nine percent 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.560 of the time, they're not hardware issues we're looking at 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.679 when we talk about these bugs, we're talking about software issues. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.000 So Apple, this is a pretty bad one. Though. This 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:49.160 happened with Mac computers, and the general issue was that 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.279 anyone was able to log into a Mac computer without 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:57.080 a password just by using the username root Root. And 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.920 if you are running a Mac right now with Mac 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.800 os High Sierra, you should have gotten an update automatically 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.880 from Google from Apple rather because Apple said this was 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.919 so bad that they just went ahead and sent the 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.160 software update out to computers automatically, which is something they 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.279 never never do, but they did it. They just updated 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.479 your computer because they needed to. But I tried this 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.800 on my computer. You just go in and you could 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.760 basically take over any computer you want to by using 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:31.359 the username route and no password, And it might have 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.320 taken a time or two, but it just worked. And 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.239 this is one of the craziest things I've ever seen 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.040 in the years that I've been covering technology because it 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.000 was such a large security hole. You can go up 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.480 to any computer at your company, type in root, and 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.920 next thing you know, you're accessing anything you want on 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.039 that computer. You can go to your friend's house and 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.280 change the settings, change the wallpaper, whatever you want to 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.560 do without knowing their login. This was a very, very 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.040 bad thing. Most people were asking, well, hey, can they 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.960 only do this if they have access to your computer? 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.360 Not really. If a hacker's good, they're going to get 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.880 access remotely and they're going to take over your computer 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.080 and figure out a way in with this with this password. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.440 So Apple has come up with a fix. If you 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.120 just want to be sure, which I would do personally, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.200 I would go on your Mac computer click the Apple 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.520 in the upper left hand corner. It's a little icon. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.040 It says about this Mac, and then it says software 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:25.240 update that will launch your basically Mac app store, and 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.280 you should see updates installed in the last thirty days, 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.920 an update from November thirtieth. That's the one, and that 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:35.480 is the one that you want to make sure is 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.400 on your computer. But Apple did do it themselves. Phone 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.800 number three one zero five nine four three zero zero 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.440 three if you want to get through and talk to 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.040 me about this. Did you do this on your computer? 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.360 The crazy thing about this Apple thing is that I 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.160 originally thought I had a fix for it by disabling 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.840 the root user, and so I did a little video 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.480 on that. It turns out that it would come back 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.080 if you just kind of did something on your computer 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.240 for a little bit, it would magically come back and 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.840 you could re log in. That was the craziest part 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.120 about this whole thing is that you really couldn't fix it. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.520 You have to do something kind of crazy and in depth, 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.080 which is set a password for the root user, which 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.840 I don't really recommend people doing because if you forget 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.720 that password, you're gonna have a real problem with your 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.840 computer getting in if you ever forget it. So anyway, 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.920 that was a surprise that happened on Let's see A 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:33.520 software developer publicized the problem on Tuesday, and then Apple 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.679 basically became aware of the issue Tuesday afternoon and said 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.520 they immediately began working on an update that closes the 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.240 security hole. And I think I'm trying to remember the 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.320 day that I reported on it. I think it was Wednesday. 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.040 Was it Tuesday morning or Wednesday morning? I can't remember, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.439 But they basically by the time I went on TV 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.439 about this, Apple had come out with a fix around 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.400 eight am, so they were really on it all right. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.079 Phone number to call if you want to get in 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.520 three one zero five nine four three zero zero three 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.320 three one zero five nine four three zero zero three. 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.760 You can call in talk to me about tech whatever 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:14.800 you want.

I know it's just for Max, 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.880 but I've noticed that a lot of the features that 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:17.360 the Sorry the iPad had is gone, and I'm actually 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.520 looking to go to Sorry. 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.000 That's okay. You can get a sip of water. That 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:23.400 happens to me when I start talking to. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.559 Exactly Well it's a Friday. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.200 Too, Oh yes, Friday. That's I'm actually as we speak, 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.040 I'm drinking a tea called throat Coat. So that's that's 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.440 my reward after a week of talking on TV, so 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.960 that might help you. Okay, So you're saying that your 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.600 iPad Mini four, which is a new iPad that's relatively new, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.040 that's what my kids have. What's wrong with it? 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:49.440 Yeah? Well I noticed that after a couple of updates, 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:55.079 they've taken away a lot of options like books and 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.600 video and like do you know the drop down menu 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:01.800 that they have when you sync up. I actually was 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.360 on the phone with Apple about that, and they actually 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.440 took away a bunch of options that was in the beginning. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.160 Oh you mean like you mean like sinking stuff from iTunes? Right? 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:13.840 Yeah, pretty much. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.800 Okay, I'm gonna give you a program that's gonna change 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.120 your life and it's gonna cost a little bit of money, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:19.920 but it's going to be amazing and you're gonna love 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.480 it and you're gonna be able to put anything you 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.440 want on your iPad in about fifteen seconds. Okay you ready. 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.120 It's called Walter w al Let me make sure I 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.760 get this right. T R Okay, w A L t 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:39.000 R hold on? Uh okay, okay, Walter Too is the app. Okay. 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.199 And what's amazing about this app is you don't have 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.319 to deal with iTunes. All you have to do is 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.920 open up this app, connect your iPad to your computer. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:52.120 You can drag and drop anything you want onto your iPad, music, video, book, whatever, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.880 and it will handle everything. It will put the artwork 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.400 on there, it will figure out where it goes into 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.400 ebooks or into the you know, the TV, the video app, 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.920 or in wherever you can put anything you want. How 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:04.840 awesome does that sound? 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.959 That sounds really good. And I've been trying forever, trying 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.600 to figure it out with the new iTunes, But yeah, you. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.880 Don't want to deal with iTunes. Apple doesn't care about 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.160 iTunes anymore because that doesn't you know, they don't It 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.280 used to be back in the day when people connected 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.840 their iPad to their computer, it would be you know 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.960 that iTunes was the way to get everything in there, 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.160 you know what I mean. Now they just don't care 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.240 because now they'd rather have people do everything wirelessly, sink 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.160 it through iicloud, which they can charge money for. This 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.760 program is forty dollars. But here's the thing. You can 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.120 try it out for free, and I highly recommend you 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.560 try it out. Download it, drag some stuff into your iPad. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.480 You will be amazed. Corey I mean, I'm telling you 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.199 this thing. It's like the best kept secret. Nobody knows 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.000 about this thing. You can throw anything, drag and drop music, 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.400 ring tones, videos, pdf files. So I use it to 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.200 drag and drop pdf files onto my iPad because then 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.400 I use that to read anything. It's really really cool. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.520 So try it out. It's totally free to try out, 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.719 and I think you're gonna love it. It's gonna give 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:08.560 your iPad a new life. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.880 Oh that's cool. Thanks so much, Rich. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.120 See you searched around everywhere. All you had to do 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.160 was called rich on tech. So Corey, thanks so much. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.680 I love when I can help you out and you know, 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.600 talk about something like that and and share. All Right, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.280 five oh nine, you are on with Rich five oh nine. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.240 Who am I speaking with Glinda? Glenda? What's going on? 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:31.440 Not a lot? 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:33.960 I hope I can answer your question as easily as 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.080 I did for Corey. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:42.000 I hope. So. So, I was wondering, what's your opinion 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:49.920 on between iphoned and the s eights? 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.240 So the iPhone versus the Samsung. Okay, so let me 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.120 ask you a few questions. What are you on right. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.640 Now while I'm on my home phone right now? 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.120 But I mean, I mean, like, what phone do you 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:04.960 use to use an iPhone to use a Samsung? What 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.640 do you use right now as your cel phone? I 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.720 use the eight Okay, okay, and so what are you 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.160 not liking about it? You want to switch to iPhone? Maybe, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:16.160 well I had. 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:22.440 An iPhone four, but now I have the SA Plus. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.880 But it seems like there's more better reviews on the iPhones. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.440 Well here's the deal. So here's the deal. iPhone gets 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.360 a majority of the attention Samsung. The S eight Plus 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.000 is a fantastic phone, probably one of the top phones 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.040 of the year. So that's number one. You're dealing with 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.520 an amazing camera, amazing feature set. You have every feature 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.480 available on the iPhone on your phone except for a 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.360 few things, and that's the apps. iPhone does have better apps. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.680 You don't get I Message and you don't get FaceTime 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.720 right now, there's replacements for those. If for FaceTime, you 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.320 can use Google Duo, but the problem is or a 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.680 Facebook Messenger. But problem is, you know a lot of 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.480 people know face time, so they always say FaceTime, FaceTime, FaceTime. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.680 The camera, your camera's great. Here's the thing. I mean, 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.880 I understand that there's two worlds out there some people 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.560 like iPhone always just gets the attention because it's iPhone. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.040 There's a lot of them out there. People love them, 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.840 and they are They're an amazing device. It doesn't mean 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.800 that the saight Plus is not a good device. So 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.040 you know, now, if there's a feature that you need 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.000 from the iPhone that you're not getting from the S 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.120 eight plus, then I think, you know, maybe you switch. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.920 But if there's not a feature, then you know, I 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.400 think you just stick with what you have. You have 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.560 one of the best phones out there. You've got wireless charging, 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.000 you've got a great camera on there, You've got you know, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:48.840 fast charging capabilities, you've got an amazing screen, you've got 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.400 expandable memory. I don't really know what else you can 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.800 want on a phone except for those things like I 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:59.000 Message and FaceTime and some of the apps. I mean, 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.200 I do get frustrated with my Android device when some 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.600 of the apps I want are not there, or some 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.280 of the features are not there. FaceTime is is the 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.800 video chat that everyone uses on on iPhone, so it's 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.119 kind of like a quick way to video conference someone, 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.280 so you know, and people love it, but it's a 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:21.199 it's an Apple specific thing, so who's your carrier with 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:25.600 your phone? Verizon? Okay? 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.160 Uh and this phone I can do I can face 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:29.080 time people. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.800 Yes, well yeah you can. You can. It depends they 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.240 have to be on Verizon. You can. Like when you 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.560 call them, there's like a little green video icon. Is 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.080 that what you're talking about? Yeah, so they do have 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.160 that built in. But again it's not universal, not every 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.720 that doesn't work with everyone you're calling, because some people, 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.720 especially if they have an iPhone, that that feature does 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.639 not work. So it really depends who you're calling. But 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.840 I think you have a good phone, and I think 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:56.719 you should just stick with it, Glinda, because you have 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.320 one of the best phones out there. So I know 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.000 this is a thing that I deal with all the time. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.720 Like Fomo, it's like you want fear of missing out. 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.120 People have the iPhone. I think the iPhone is so amazing. 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.680 It is great. But just because you have an Android 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.800 doesn't mean that you know you're missing out on anything. 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.000 By the way, while we're talking about phones, let me 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:16.600 tell you about a new app if you want to 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.960 save on your data. This is a new app from Google. 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.920 It's called daytaly Da t A L L Y, And 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.520 what it is is It was started out for people 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.720 in countries like India and you know, like over in 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.880 Asia where they emerging countries where they don't have unlimited 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.840 data like we do. So my point is, this is 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:41.760 a new app that will help you save data even 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.480 if you don't live in one of those countries. So 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.479 if you are on a small data plan like a 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.119 one gig, two gig, three gig, four gig plan, you 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.920 can install this app from Google and they will help 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.159 you save your data. And so I had someone come 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.720 up to me today at work and they're like, Rich, 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:59.399 oh my gosh, when you mentioned this yesterday, I installed 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.280 it on my phone and I realized that my phone 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.600 I had an app on there that was using gigs 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.200 and gigs of data. It was Samsung Pay, he said. 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.640 And oh my gosh, I installed this Daytalian. First day 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.359 I figured out that that was scooping up all my data. 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.439 So again, this is a little if you want to, 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.440 you know, take control of your data. You can say 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.080 which apps are allowed to have access, which apps aren't, 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.760 see how much apps are using, and you could turn 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.600 off certain apps that use too much data. And they 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.399 say it saves you an average thirty percent. Again, you 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.680 can find links to everything I mentioned here on my website. 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.240 It's rich on tech dot TV. I post the show 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.880 notes for the podcast so you can find links after 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:41.680 the show is aired, obviously, so it takes me a 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:43.119 little bit of time to go back and put all 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:44.560 the links. But you don't have to write anything down 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.000 right now. You can just go back and say, what 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.440 was that data app? And find it right there. You're 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.359 listening to rich on tech. I'm Rich Dmiro. We'll be 0:19:51.359 --> 0:20:20.959 back with more of your tech questions after this. Welcome 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.320 back to rich on Tech Live. I'm Rich Damiro. You 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.640 were listening to the show that tells you all about 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.640 the important stuff you need to know in the tech world. 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.320 And it's not just for techies. You don't have to 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:32.600 be a techie to listen to this show. In fact, 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.080 I'm telling you stuff that you know if you're not 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.480 a techie, you should know about because I'm trying to 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:39.359 make it easy for you. Because we live in a 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.960 world where there is a lot of technology surrounding us, 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.840 and the default to ninety nine percent of people is, uh, 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.240 I don't really understand that I'm not a tech nerd. 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.040
