Speaker 1: and hit the content tacked button. Let's dive into the

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: world of tech together. Some great guests this week, Washington

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Post tech columnist Jeffrey Fowler. We'll talk about Apple Intelligence

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: and his test drive and how it's still a little quirky.

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Then later we've got top tech YouTuber I Justine She's

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: going to share her thoughts on the new iPhone sixteen

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: and the other Apple products. And later in the show,

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: YouTube creator John from gen X Grown Up is going

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: to talk all things eighties, nostalgia, retrogaming, and how classic

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: brands want in on the modern tech landscape. Well, this

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: was the probably the biggest week in technology of the year,

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: Apple's annual iPhone event in Kopertino, where they introduced new

30
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: iPhone sixteen models, AirPods four, and Apple Watches. And yes,

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: I was there, probably my fourteenth year of covering Apple events. Wow,

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot. It's a lot of iPhones. It's been

33
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: a lot of iPhones over the years. So I was

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: at the original iPhone event launch in New York City

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and seven, and then my job

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: kind of took me in different directions, so I wasn't

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: at some of the launches. Then when I got to

38
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: KTLA started covering all of the iPhone events starting in

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, so it's been a bit And yeah, I've

40
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: seen the iPhone evolve over the years. This is the

41
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: iPhone sixteen and sixteen plus. So basically you sit through

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: the presentation up in Cooper Tino these days. Now, they

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: used to all be live, right, so everything was live.

44
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: They would have, you know, the CEO come out, whether

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: it was Steve Jobs back in the day and now

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: Tim Cook, and then he would come out welcome everyone,

47
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: and then they would literally show off these products to

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: a live audience. And the products were there on stage,

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: they would literally pull a veil off of them sometimes

50
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: or hold them up in their hand to show them off.

51
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Now ever since COVID, they do everything pre taped, so

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: it's a lot slick, but you know, not as much

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: can go wrong because it's all they're done, and you

54
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: know it's it's on tape, so it's not as it's exciting,

55
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: but it's not the same energy as it used to

56
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: be because you're just basically watching a movie when you

57
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: go up there. But it's still fun because the best

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: part is after the presentation ends, you all run into

59
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: this other room and go hands out with the new devices.

60
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: So basically everyone that's invited to the event are the

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: first people in the world to experience these new products.

62
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: So let's go through them. First.

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Off, iPhones sixteen and sixteen plus. These are the base

64
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: Apple iPhones, modest upgrades, slightly improved camera. The action button

65
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: is now replacing the mute and ringer switch. This is

66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: what they did last year with the Pro models. Now

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: it's across all models. And then there is this new

68
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: touch sensitive camera control area. They don't call it a button,

69
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: but I do. It is basically a dedicated button on

70
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the side on the right side of the iPhones that

71
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: not only when press activates the camera, A second press

72
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: will take a picture, a press and hold will take

73
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: a video, and then you can lightly press or lightly

74
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: tap and bring up camera controls like focus and zoom.

75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: It's a little complicated. Yes, it's gonna take some getting

76
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: used to, Yes, but this is a new way to

77
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: launch the camera on the iPhone and eventually maybe other

78
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: things as well. A lot of developers already tapping into this, so,

79
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: for instance, if you're in something like Snapchat, you would

80
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: be able to use that button for an added functionality.

81
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: So it's one more physical button on the iPhone and

82
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: it's going to open up some possibilities. It's a little weird,

83
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. My initial hands on time was a

84
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: little shaky. I would say I wasn't able to master it. Immediately,

85
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: but we'll see as time goes on. But it does

86
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: free up one icon on your home screen because you

87
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: no longer need that camera icon because now you can

88
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: just press the side of the phone. Seven and ninety

89
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: nine dollars for the iPhone sixteen, nine hundred dollars for

90
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: the iPhone sixteen plus. Now when it comes to the

91
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: iPhone sixteen Pro and Pro Max, this is where a

92
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: majority of the major improvements are larger screens than ever

93
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: before on an iPhone six point three inches up from

94
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: six point one inches and six point nine inches up

95
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: from six point seven inches.

96
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: Now in the hand, they don't.

97
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: Feel much bigger, but they are a little bit bigger,

98
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: but Apple stretch the screen more to the edges to

99
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: make them so that they can still make these bigger screens.

100
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: But the phone overall doesn't feel much bigger. It does

101
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: feel a little bit bigger.

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: I'll be honest.

103
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: What I like that they've done here is the specs

104
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: are the same. So if you want a big phone,

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: you can go for a big phone. If you want

106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: a smaller phone, you can go for the smaller phone,

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: and you still get the same specs except for the

108
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: screen size and battery it's the same exact thing that

109
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: Sam that Google did with the Pixel nine Pro and

110
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: the Pixel nine Pro XL. Samsung still reserves their best

111
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: feet for the Ultra.

112
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: We will see if.

113
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: They change their tune this next time around, because people

114
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: have a choice with the iPhone and Google. Now we'll

115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: see if they get a choice with Samsung as well.

116
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: Five times optical zoom on both models. As you might remember,

117
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: last year, it was a three X on the Pro

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: and a five X on the Promax.

119
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: Now it's five X on both.

120
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: Improved ultra wide camera, so you're getting a forty eight

121
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: megapixel ultra wide camera, so everything's going to look just

122
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: a little bit better in the ultra wide and you're

123
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: getting four K, one hundred and twenty frames per second video.

124
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: That is quite incredible.

125
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: All the nerds in the audience, especially the video creators,

126
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: were going nuts over that because it is super smooth

127
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: video and you can slow it down after the fact

128
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: and it's still gonna look really good. Better heat dissipation,

129
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: so if your phone heats up a lot, especially when

130
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: it's charging or when it's in the sun. They've improved

131
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if they called it the vapor chamber,

132
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: but that's what they call it in the other phone.

133
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: So apparently these phones will have better heat dissipation, which

134
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: means your phone should stay cooler while it's charging and

135
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: while it's under heavy use. And the batteries are bigger

136
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: across the board, so better battery life by the tune

137
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: of a couple hours for each model, So that's always

138
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: a good thing.

139
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 3: Whenever we see improved battery life.

140
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Prices on the sixteen Pro and Promax nine hundred ninety

141
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: nine dollars basically one thousand bucks for the Pro, twelve

142
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for the Pro Max. My advice do not

143
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: get the base model. One hundred and twenty eight gigabytes

144
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: is not enough for these phones. These are powerhouse phones.

145
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: If you're recording four K video at one hundred and

146
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 1: twenty frames, you're going to go through that one hundred

147
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: and twenty eight gigabytes in about two days, So you

148
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: need to get the two hundred and fifty six minimum.

149
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: And yes, Apple plays pricing game, so it's only one

150
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: hundred do dollars extra.

151
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: Now, don't complain to me. You're already spending one thousand.

152
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: Go the extra ten percent to get that eleven hundred

153
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: dollars price point and double the storage on your phone.

154
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: You'll thank me later. I don't care if you have iCloud.

155
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: It still makes a huge difference to have that storage

156
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: on your phone. And you're paying basically fifty percent less

157
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: for the two hundred and fifty six gigs than you

158
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: are for the one twenty eight. All right, now, let's

159
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: talk Apple Watch ten Thinner and lighter. It is noticeably

160
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: thinner and lighter on your wrist. It also sits lower

161
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: to your wrist. That big back bump is sort of gone.

162
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: Comes in this new Jet black finish, which is really nice.

163
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Screens are larger, so they're saying I think like ten

164
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: percent larger on the screens, faster charging. It now detects

165
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: sleep apnea, so this is something that's undiagnosed in like

166
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: eighty percent of people. It will diagnose that now and

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: give you if it thinks you have it. It will

168
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: give you a PDF that you can print out and

169
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: bring to your doctor. A new tides app, So if

170
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: you like to serve or do anything with the ocean,

171
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: this will tell you the high and low tides. You

172
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: can save your favorite beaches, and the built in speaker

173
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: can now play audio. So it used to be the

174
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: built in speaker on the Apple Watch could only do

175
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: Siri and also phone calls. Now you can listen to, say,

176
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: streaming music or a podcast, or any kind of music

177
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: you want on the built in speaker. I know it's

178
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: a small thing, but if you forget your headphone somewhere,

179
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: if you're on a walk, maybe you're by yourself, you

180
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: just want some companionship on the audio there on the

181
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: built in speaker.

182
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: You don't want to have headphones in.

183
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: You've got that option that starts at three hundred and

184
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars to the Apple Watch ten, the Ultra two.

185
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: They did not come out with an Ultra three. The

186
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: Ultra two now comes in titanium black. Yes, it is

187
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: very good looking. That's if you're the ultrasports enthusiast. That

188
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: starts at eight hundred dollars. All right, let's go to

189
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: the air pods. Now, AirPods four these are the new

190
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: entry level AirPods one hundred and twenty nine bucks. Do

191
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: not buy them at that price. They often go on

192
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: sale for cheaper, especially during the holidays. But they have

193
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: a new active noise cancelation option. For one hundred and

194
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: seventy nine dollars. So this is an open ear design,

195
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: which means you don't have to seal out your ears,

196
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: and you'll still get that active noise cancelation. Probably not

197
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: going to be as good on a plane, but for

198
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: every day when you're just out and about. If you

199
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: like to have some of those noises canceled but you

200
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: still want to have your ear open to the world,

201
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: that's a nice option. You also get a wireless charging

202
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: case for that one seventy nine, And this is really neat.

203
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: The AirPods Pro two is actually now FDA approved for

204
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: use as hearing aids. This is going to open up

205
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: hearing aids for many many people who already have these

206
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: or who just want hearing aids. They're two hundred and

207
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: forty nine dollars, but right now I just check they're

208
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: on Amazon for like less than that, so you can

209
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: get that hearing aids for less than two hundred and

210
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: fifty bucks. And the health app inside the phone is

211
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: going to help you test your hearing. I took a

212
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: sample of this, and you basically tap the screen as

213
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: you're listening to different frequencies. It gives you a little

214
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: report and it says, hey, do you want us to

215
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: tune these as hearing aids? And now you can hear

216
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 1: everything around you much better than before. Finally, Apple Intelligence

217
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: AI features not launching the same day as these new devices.

218
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: All these new devices are going to be available on

219
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: Septem number twentieth. The AI stuff is going to roll

220
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: out later that will work on the iPhone fifteen Pro

221
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: models and later. And if you don't want to get

222
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: a new phone, September sixteenth, iOS eighteen is going to

223
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: launch as a free update that's going to be compatible

224
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: with the iPhone ten R and later. So that's the eleven,

225
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: the twelve, the thirteen, the fourteen, the fifteen, and the sixteen,

226
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: as well as the iPhone S two. If you want

227
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: to check which iPhone you have it if it's been

228
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: a while since you upgraded, you can go into Settings General,

229
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: about and model name and that will tell you which

230
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: one you have. But basically the bottom line is modest

231
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: upgrades this year. I think a lot of the pro

232
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: phones have some great upgrades, but only if you are

233
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: using your camera a lot, your video a lot. And

234
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: also if you want those AI features, you're going to

235
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: have to update unless you have that iPhone fifteen Pro.

236
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: But across the board, Apple.

237
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Did some really cool stuff, very exciting, and I have

238
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 1: it all linked up on my newsletter this week. Just

239
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: go to Rich on tech dot TV and you can

00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: zero one.

246
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: If you got a tech question, don't be shy, give

247
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: me a ring.

248
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Demiro. You are locked into Rich on Tech.

249
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: Stay tuned right here. Let's go to uh Bill in

250
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Bill, you're on with Rich.

251
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I asked the question earlier.

252
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 5: I guess I have to repeat the question again.

253
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: Yes, you probably talked to Kim. Now you're talking Rich

254
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: on the radio live.

255
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 5: All right.

256
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wanted to ask you. One question was about

257
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: on the web right now. You know, when you're on

258
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 4: these sites, it always says that with the new sixteen

259
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: coming on, Apple is trying to get rid of the fifteen,

260
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: so there are a lot of sites giving it away

261
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: for free. I don't think that's really true. It's one

262
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 4: of those things that you know sounds too good to

263
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: be true, So I don't that's probably not true, right.

264
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: It depends on the website.

265
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: Look, I mean, if you're talking about one of these

266
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: websites that's like get a free iPhone fifteen, that's a scam.

267
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: But if you're talking about one of the carriers advertising

268
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: a free iPhone, that is not a scam, but it

269
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: is scamy, and I can explain that. So yeah, anything

270
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: that's offering a free phone with no strings attached or

271
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: like you know, fill out a survey, that is a

272
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: scam for sure.

273
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: And the ones that with the like T Mobile, Verizon,

274
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 4: those are because you're going to commit to them for

275
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: a couple.

276
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: Of years or something like that exactly. So my fends

277
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: up one hundred percent.

278
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: So my friend and I we were chatting about this

279
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: last night because we were talking about all the deals

280
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: out there because whenever this happens, basically the carriers go

281
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: nuts and they say get a free iPhone, and it's

282
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: either with trade in or even without trade in sometimes.

283
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: But here's here's how it works, and here's the basic math.

284
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: So the basic bottom line is you're paying more every

285
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: single month for three years to get that free iPhone

286
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: if you were not sticking with that carrier. Let's just

287
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: say you went with something like let's say you bought

288
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: the iPhone outright for a thousand bucks and then you

289
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: went to Mint Mobile, which is unlimited for thirty dollars

290
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: a month. You know, you're talking a year of service

291
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: would be the phone would be one thousand plus three

292
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty dollars. That's thirteen hundred and sixty dollars. Now,

293
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: let's say you went with a big carrier that's saying, hey,

294
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: we'll give you a free iPhone, but you have to

295
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: stick with us for three years. And by the way,

296
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: you have to be on our highest price unlimited plan,

297
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: which is about ninety dollars a month. So now times

298
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: ninety dollars a month times thirty six months, or let's

299
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: just yeah, let's just yeah. So that's thirty two hundred

300
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: and forty dollars, you know, and you're not getting the

301
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: and you're getting the phone for free quote unquote, and

302
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: a lot of those you have to kind of pay

303
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: as well, so or trade in a phone as well.

304
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: So again it really comes down to when you do

305
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: the math, it's not a better deal necessarily but here's

306
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: the caveat, and here's here's the thing. If you're already

307
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: on an unlimited plan and you're already with one of

308
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: the big carriers and they're giving you that upgrade deal,

309
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: and you're not going to switch carriers to an MV

310
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: and O or a cheaper carrier, then it's not the

311
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: end of the world to get the free phone from them,

312
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: as long as you are going to stick with them

313
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: for the next couple of years, because if you don't

314
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: stick with them, they will make you pay the balance

315
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: of whatever they're doing. Because they don't give you that

316
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: phone for free upfront. They do it as a credit

317
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: on your bill over the next three years, just to

318
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: ensure that you.

319
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: Stick with them.

320
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: So it's not like, you know, you can just leave

321
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: after two months and they forget about it. No, no, no,

322
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: they've got you signed there. So again, if you do

323
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: the math quickly, you know there are some ways to

324
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: really save if you buy the phone out right, and

325
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I think that is the best way to

326
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: buy the phone because it gives you the most options,

327
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: and then the next year when you want to trade

328
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: it in, if you want to upgrade again, you can

329
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: get a pretty good amount for that iPhone because iPhones

330
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: do not lose a lot of value over the years.

331
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: So a good question, Bill, appreciate it. I know it's

332
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: a lot of math, it's a lot of kind of

333
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: figuring out.

334
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: But the main carriers that are really.

335
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: Good with unlimited are something like A Visible from Verizon,

336
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: a Mint Mobile, and even Total from Verizon. They're doing

337
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: some good deals as well. AT and T has a

338
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: lot of mv and os, and mv and O is

339
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: what's called a mobile virtual network operator. So basically these

340
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: companies buy network space from one of the big companies

341
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: like an AT and T, a T Mobile or Verizon,

342
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: and then they repackage it and their whole thing is

343
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: just marketing to consumers, and they often don't have all

344
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: of those like extra perks like a free Netflix or

345
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: free this or free that, or international roaming. It's just

346
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: basically unlimited data and sometimes unlimited hotspot eighty to eight

347
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: rich one on one if you want to hop on

348
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: the phones. Coming up, we're going to talk to Jeffrey

349
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: Fowler of The Washington Post about Apple's AI. Rich DeMuro

350
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: here hanging out with you talking technology at Triple eight

351
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: rich one, Oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four

352
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: to two four one zero one.

353
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: We'll get back to those phone lines in just a moment.

354
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: But first joining me now is Jeffrey Fowler, technology columnist

355
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: for the Washington Post.

356
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 2: Jeffrey, thanks so much for joining me.

357
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 5: So thank glad to be here.

358
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: So you took a look at the new AI features

359
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, which are not arriving on the first

360
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: day that the iPhones are going to be available. It's

361
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: going to be a software update later on. But this

362
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: is Apple Intelligence and you wrote all about it in

363
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: your column this week.

364
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: What were your first impressions.

365
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 6: I found Apple Intelligence to be useful except for when

366
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 6: it went completely bonkers.

367
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 5: And I think it's definitely worth explaining.

368
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 6: To folks who are thinking about buying a new iPhone

369
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 6: exactly what state this Apple Intelligence software is at, because

370
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 6: from what I've seen, it might tick them awhile and

371
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 6: make this something that.

372
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 5: You really want to have a part of your daily life.

373
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because the iPhone has gotten so slick

374
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: and so good that, according to your column, it almost

375
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: takes it a step back because now we're dealing with

376
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: hallucinations and mistakes by the AI.

377
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, so One of the things that I think anybody

378
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 6: with putting the software on their phone will notice most

379
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 6: is that Apple Intelligence is constantly trying to summarize the

380
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 6: information coming into your phone.

381
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 5: So every email in your inbox.

382
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: Get says instead of like seeing the two lines, you

383
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 6: get an AI written summary.

384
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 5: Same thing goes for alerts on your lock screen.

385
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 6: Instead of just seeing, you know, an alert that says

386
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 6: somebody press your doorbell, you'll see a summary of all

387
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 6: the alerts that you've gotten from that app. Sometimes those

388
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 6: are super useful, Like looking at the first two lines

389
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 6: of most people's email is a complete waste of time, right,

390
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 6: That's where they say, That's where they say, oh, oh,

391
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 6: I hope you are well.

392
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 5: I just wanted to clear my throat.

393
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 6: So the idea that an AI can read the email

394
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 6: for you and tell you what it's really about to

395
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 6: help you decide whether to tap in and read the

396
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 6: whole thing is useful.

397
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 5: It's useful, I would even argue most of the time.

398
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 6: The problem is right now, Apple Intelligence sometimes gets it

399
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 6: completely wrong, will confuse people's names and get the information backwards,

400
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 6: and then you have these kind of like either laugh

401
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 6: out loud moments at your phone like one that I had,

402
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 6: for example, was when in an email summary it said

403
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 6: to me that I was teaching a course at Berkeley.

404
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: I'm not.

405
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 6: It actually meant that somebody else was teaching of course

406
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 6: at Berkeley, but it got it confused.

407
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to say.

408
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: The other example you mentioned was the social security spam email,

409
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, hi, alert, you got this email

410
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: about your social Security number being stolen or whatever.

411
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's thet thing it does is it moves.

412
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 6: It decides what is like a super important email, and

413
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 6: it moves to the top of your inbox and it's

414
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 6: just on that.

415
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 5: For me so far has been carible. It also can

416
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: get crazy when it.

417
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 6: Tries to summarize news alerts or social media alerts.

418
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: I get push alerts from.

419
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 6: Donald Trump's Truth social and I got one the other

420
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 6: day that said Trump endorses walls and I was like what,

421
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 6: And again it just got it backwards.

422
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 5: And look like, here's the challenge.

423
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 6: We know that this is a fundamental problem with today's

424
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 6: generative AI technology. Every big company who's putting out products

425
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 6: with this faces this.

426
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 5: Jack QPT faces this. Google faces this with Gemini.

427
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 6: But what's different here is you're not using a separate

428
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 6: app for Apple Intelligence. It's not like you go over

429
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 6: to the Apple Intelligence app where you know, like, Okay,

430
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 6: sometimes it's gonna be a little crazy. This stuff is

431
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 6: integrated throughout your phone, so there is like a sprinkling

432
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 6: of crazy all over your phone right now that I

433
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 6: think might make.

434
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 5: People feel a little weird or just make them feel

435
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 5: like their phone is their smartphone is less smart.

436
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: Now, now you kind of mentioned the bad, what about

437
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: the good?

438
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: Was there any highlights of how this AI worked to

439
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: your advantage?

440
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 6: Yeah? I actually now super rely on those little summaries

441
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 6: of my emails to decide which ones to open up,

442
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 6: and you know, spend the time to look at They're

443
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 6: much more useful than than you know, looking at the

444
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 6: first two.

445
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 5: Lines of an email.

446
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 6: There's a there's a capability that's kind of a new

447
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 6: more natural language search for your for your photos, and

448
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 6: I found that useful to kind of pull back memories

449
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 6: from you know, like oh yeah, there was a place

450
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 6: I went to once that had stripes on it, and

451
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 6: you can just sort of search in that kind of way.

452
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 5: Now, I found that useful.

453
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: Is that is that as good as Apple is advertising?

454
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: Because I haven't tested that feature. I've been playing with

455
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: the one inside Google Photos.

456
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 2: It's good Apple.

457
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: Saying, you know, I dove into a lake and I

458
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: was wearing a striped swimsuit and you can find that

459
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: exact moment. Is that true?

460
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 5: It is pretty good? Like, it's funny you mentioned stripe.

461
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 6: So my my my test search that I think of

462
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 6: is I asked it to find a striped playground that

463
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 6: I once went to, and it was.

464
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 5: Able to find it. It didn't find all of it.

465
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 6: And but the thing is like, that's a pretty low

466
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 6: stake situation. Well, okay, if it missed a couple, it's

467
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 6: not not a big deal.

468
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 5: And that's that's where Apple, I think, has mostly.

469
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 6: Focused its energy with with Apple Intelligence on things like that.

470
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 6: But you know, if you do the head to heat

471
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 6: versus what Google can do with photos, I would suspect

472
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 6: that Google probably still a little bit better.

473
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 7: Now, why are we talking about beta software?

474
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: Because typically, you know, you cover for the average consumer,

475
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: as do I. Typically I don't cover beta software because

476
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: it's beta, it's not done yet.

477
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 7: So why are we even talking about this?

478
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 5: Absolutely a great question.

479
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 6: I I don't think I've I'm trying to think of

480
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 6: I ever written about beta software before from Apple.

481
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 5: You know, for the average consumer. Here's what's different this time.

482
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 6: Apple is already selling these iPhones with the marque feature

483
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 6: of Apple Intelligence.

484
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 5: It is asking people to plunk down.

485
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 6: At least eight hundred bucks today for a phone on

486
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 6: the promise that this thing is going to that that

487
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 6: is you know, purpose built in the iPhone sixteen, is

488
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 6: going to make their lives better, is going to make

489
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 6: their phone smarter. And I think that raises the bar

490
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 6: Apple has to then really show us, well, how good

491
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 6: is it? Otherwise we're just buying based on the promise

492
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 6: of marketing and I don't I don't.

493
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 5: I don't believe in that. I believe trust but verifies,

494
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 5: and that what Reagan said.

495
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 6: So it's important for journalists and independent people like yourself

496
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 6: and me to really say, Okay, what can it really

497
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 6: do and where does it let us down?

498
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 5: Because here's the thing.

499
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 6: With all of these AI products that have been coming

500
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 6: out over the last year or two, so many of

501
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 6: them that I've used and tested and written about really

502
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 6: are up being disappointments. They end up promising things to

503
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 6: consumers that they don't deliver on. They maybe even deliver

504
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 6: misinformation because of this problem with just making stuff up.

505
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 6: So I think we have to be especially attuned to

506
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 6: sort of challenging some of the claims about artificial intelligence,

507
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 6: because despite what marketers think, it is not just magic.

508
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 6: It is actually software and software with a lot of

509
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 6: known problems.

510
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 7: What about privacy?

511
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Did you you know, because this is making use of

512
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the data on your phone, do you

513
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: feel like there's any privacy concerns or do you feel

514
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: like Apple got that part right?

515
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 5: I don't think we really know enough yet.

516
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 8: So part of the challenge in writing about Beata software

517
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 8: is only parts of it already, and unfortunately one of

518
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 8: the parts that's not ready even to test at this

519
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 8: point is the part.

520
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 6: That digs deep into your data to make serious s marter.

521
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 6: For example, Apple has said that they've done some things

522
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 6: that make sense to me.

523
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 5: You know, again, we just.

524
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 6: I think we don't really know enough information about that yet,

525
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 6: and and independent people haven't been really been able to.

526
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 5: Poke at it all.

527
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: Right, Finally, you've been covering this stuff for a long time.

528
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: Do you feel like this is a pretty exciting time

529
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: in the tech world with all this AI stuff? Even

530
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: though there are many pitfalls and there are many stumbles,

531
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: do you.

532
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 7: Still feel like it's pretty exciting.

533
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 6: Look, AI is allowing people to do things that previously

534
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 6: would have required a lot of expertise.

535
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 5: There's so much opportunity here.

536
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 6: I just think we're at a moment though, where the

537
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 6: rush is on from Silicon Valley to make money from

538
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 6: this stuff, And a lot of these big tech companies

539
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 6: in particular, are selling snake oil, and they're promising things

540
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 6: that these technologies can't do, or they're even introducing things

541
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 6: that could be harmful for individual users or for society.

542
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 5: So I think we're at this moment where it has

543
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 5: never been more.

544
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 6: Important to have independent journalists and researchers and other folks

545
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: really probing what these things really.

546
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 9: Do so that we can get that balance right, especially

547
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 9: as we also think about what should the laws be,

548
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 9: who should be responsible, what should we expect paw should

549
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 9: we expect a big tech company to act when somebody

550
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 9: buying a problem with the AI that it's making something

551
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 9: that's dangerous.

552
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 5: You know, all that still has to be worked out.

553
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 6: So, uh, this is I think a key moment for

554
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 6: US voices outside the companies.

555
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: All right.

556
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Fowler with The Washington Post check out the column.

557
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 7: You can read them there. What's the best way for

558
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 7: folks to follow you online?

559
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 5: I'm on threads and on Twitter at Jeffrey Fowler.

560
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 6: And then of course you can go over to the

561
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 6: post and you can click on a button to get

562
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 6: an email at the time, I have a column.

563
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me today to talk Apple

564
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: AI or rich on Tech coming your way right after this,

565
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: and Net.

566
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: Wrote in on the website rich on Tech dot TV.

567
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: I have an Android and I can't figure out how

568
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: to stop group chat notifications. Even when I turn them off,

569
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: they reactivate as soon as someone replies I've tried looking

570
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: online for a solution but can't find one.

571
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: How do I stop this madness?

572
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: Well, Annette, I'm glad you found me because I will

573
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: help you stop this madness right now. All right, you

574
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: said you're on Android, So open up the messages app

575
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: on Android, tap the message that you want to silence,

576
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: and then you go to the upper right hand corner.

577
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: There is three little dots. That's your overflow menu. You

578
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: tap that and it says details Now. Once you get

579
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: in there, there's an option for notifications. You are now

580
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: modifying the notifications for this specific text this group text,

581
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: and on a Samsung for instance, it gives you a

582
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: choice of priority, alert or silent. If you're on Pixel,

583
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: it might be slightly different. But what you're looking for

584
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: is that silent, and so you tap that and next

585
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: thing you know, you're not gonna get those notifications. Now

586
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: you can leave it as alert, but you can turn

587
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: the sound and the vibration off. So if you still

588
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: want it to show you the alert on your screen

589
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: like that, you have a notification, but you don't want

590
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: the sound or the vibration of your phone. You can

591
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: then tap under sound where it says default notification and

592
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: then you tap silent. So if you tap silent up

593
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: at the top, that removes the notification altogether, but if

594
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: you go into sound that will remove the sound notification.

595
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: Great question, Annette. Those group chats can really be fun

596
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: to be on. But for me, I find that when

597
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: people start group chatting, it's always in the middle of something.

598
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: When I'm trying to do something, whether it's work, whether

599
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: it's come out on a choote, whether it's you know,

600
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to focus or concentrate, it's like all of

601
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, everyone in the group chat starts chatting and

602
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: then you can't stop it and you're like silencing your

603
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: phone and all these different things.

604
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: So hopefully that will help you do that. Let's go

605
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: to ed in Tarzana. Ed you're on with rich.

606
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, Hi, thank you for taking my call.

607
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, what can I help you with?

608
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 10: Okay? So I heard in your earlier segment that the

609
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 10: Apple Watch can diagnose sleep apnia. So I'm a pomonologist

610
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 10: and I also am certified in sleep and I treat

611
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 10: sleep apnia. And apnia is when hear doesn't enter doesn't

612
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 10: enter the lungs for ten seconds. Hypopnia is when they

613
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 10: are full decreases by thirty percent accompanied by a dropping oxygen.

614
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 10: So the number of events per hour is how you

615
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 10: diagnose sleep appen So you need to measure the flow

616
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 10: of air, you need to measure the chess movement. So

617
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 10: how in the world does an Apple watch do that?

618
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: Great question, and thanks for asking me to clarify on here.

619
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: So if I did say diagnosis in the earlier segment,

620
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: it is not a diagnosis. It is meant to alert

621
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: users who may have undiagnosed sleep apnea. So let me

622
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 1: run through how it works. So it's actually using so

623
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: you have to wear the Apple Watch while you sleep,

624
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: and it's using the accelerometer, the sensor in the Apple Watch,

625
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: and of course machine learning algorithm, so it's an algorithm

626
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: that's using this accelerometer to detect what they're calling breathing

627
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: disturbances during sleep. So this feature will track those breathing

628
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: disturbances every night, display them in the Health app, and

629
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: then you can see your nightly values and trends over time.

630
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: And this feature is going to look at a thirty

631
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: day window of data. So I understand if you're getting

632
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: this diagnosed by an actual sleep clinician, you may have

633
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: to wear something for a while or take a test

634
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: or something, but this is where you wear your watch

635
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: every night, and then you'll get that notification if at

636
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: least in half of the nights in thirty days you

637
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: show some sort of elevated breathing disturbance. So you have

638
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: to wear your watch a lot, at least ten nights

639
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: out of the thirty for this feature to work, and

640
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: then once it's triggered, you'll get that notification saying you

641
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: may have potential sleep apnea and you should talk to

642
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: your doctor, and that's when they're going to send you

643
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: that QR code that you can scan, download the pdf,

644
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: bring that to your doctor and see what's going on.

645
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 2: Now.

646
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: The way they validated this was with over eleven thousand

647
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: nights of sleep data and they compared it, of course

648
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: against clinical sleep tests. It showed sixty six point three

649
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: percent sensitivity detecting cases and ninety eight point five percent specificity,

650
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: which means, you know, avoiding those false positives. So it's

651
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: really designed for people that don't know they have sleep

652
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: apnea and to get more people diagnosed with sleep apnea

653
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: so that they can do something about it. And this

654
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: is going to work on the Apple Watch Series nine,

655
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: the Series ten, and the Ultra two. It did get

656
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: the let's see, did it get the FDA clearance. I

657
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: don't know if it got it just yet, but it is.

658
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: I believe it's it's pending FDA clearance. So the hearing

659
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: aid I know featured that just did get the clearance.

660
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: This is probably any day now as well. So it's Apple.

661
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: You know, they're forging ahead with these health features, and

662
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: I do think that it probably will help a lot

663
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: of people, so I know I'll be testing it out,

664
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: so I will bring you some updates. I don't think

665
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: I have sleep apnea, but then again, how do I know?

666
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: I guess I will now add in Tarzana, thanks so

667
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: much for the call today.

668
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Let's go to Let's see how long

669
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 3: do I have?

670
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: Two minutes?

671
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: Oh, two and a half minutes.

672
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see if I can answer Tom's question in

673
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes.

674
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: Tom, You're on with Rich.

675
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 11: Good morning. Regarding the AirPods Gen two pros and all

676
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 11: the new features, I have three sets of Gen two

677
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 11: AirPod Pros, and I am a hearing aid user. I

678
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 11: tend to use the AirPod Pro for just casual listening

679
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 11: when it's non critical, and they work relatively well for that.

680
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 11: But as I look at the Apple website and all

681
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 11: the new features on the Pro twos, it says for

682
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 11: hearing health coming soon, for voice isolation coming this fall,

683
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 11: new hands free serie experience coming this fall. New Pro

684
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 11: two is going to be any different than the old

685
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 11: Pro twos.

686
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: No, No, you're they changed the name. No you're getting

687
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: these features. This is just this is just a software update.

688
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: So you already if you already have these air Pods

689
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: Pro too, you're getting the hearing aid feature. So they're

690
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: going to roll this out to potentially hundreds of thousands

691
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: of people overnight. So anyone who has these current AirPods

692
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: Pro two only the second model, which you know they've

693
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: been these been have been on sale for two years now,

694
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: I believe, So it is a it is a software update,

695
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: so yes, you will get the hearing aid feature. And

696
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: this again is for users with mild to moderate hearing loss. Uh.

697
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: And again Apple is calling this clinical grade hearing aids.

698
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: And I took the test. You do it on the iPhone,

699
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: takes about five minutes. It's inside the Health app, and

700
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: it can detect hearing levels from little to no loss

701
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: up to severe and profound loss. And then of course

702
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: you can fine tune once you get your results the

703
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: settings like tone balance and amplification, and you can even

704
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: do that in real time. Plus you can use the

705
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: microphones and noisy environments to focus on human voices. And

706
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: there's just a lot going on here, and I think

707
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: that this is something that Apple I think hit out

708
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: of the park because AirPods, like you said, you already

709
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: own a couple of pairs, and they're they're very prevalent

710
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: everywhere and the fact that they've had similar features in

711
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: the past, like the live listening feature, and they've had

712
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: some adjustments that you can do. But the fact that

713
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: these are now going to sort of check your hearing

714
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: and then adjust based on that, I think is going

715
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: to be game changing. So Tom, no need to do

716
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: anything except just wait for that software update, and of

717
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: course I will update you on when that's available. Eight

745
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 3: It was funny my mom yesterday.

746
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 1: You would not believe I've been doing a radio show

747
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: now for a year and a half, over a year

748
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: and a half, and you know, I've been on TV

749
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: for I don't know, twenty years or something like that.

750
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: But it's so interesting when someone actually sees you doing

751
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: what you do. So my mom yesterday calls me and

752
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: you would think that she just saw I don't know,

753
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: like she it was like this this like sound in

754
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: her voice where she was so excited and she's like,

755
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: I just heard you on the radio. I said, oh

756
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, that's amazing. I was in my car, I'm

757
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: listening to Z one hundred in New York City and

758
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: I hear Ryan Seacrest say, we're talking to Rich Demiro

759
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: and she said what, and so yes, I said, mom,

760
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: I was talking about the new iPhone with Ryan Seacrest

761
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: on his morning show. And she was just she thought

762
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: it was the greatest thing. And I was like, well,

763
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, and she does listen to this show on

764
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: her smart speaker, she'll listen live. But same thing happens

765
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: all the time. Like I ran into a friend and

766
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: he was like, I was in South Carolina. We're driving

767
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, we tune to you and

768
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: on the radio and we hear your voice, and it

769
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: just happens over and over. Like people will tell me

770
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: these stories what I'm out and about. I'm like, yeah,

771
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: I love it.

772
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 3: It's great.

773
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: Is My point is there's a certain like fun of

774
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: seeing yourself on TV or hearing yourself on the radio,

775
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: and there's still some sort of energy that I don't

776
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: think is matched in any other way than sort of

777
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: that live broadcast energy. It's the reason why when you're

778
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: standing at a basketball game doing a live shot and

779
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: people are behind you making faces and you know, hand

780
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: gestures and all trying to get on TV and all

781
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: that stuff. It still happens no matter what across the world. Anyway,

782
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty fun, So thank you for listening.

783
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: I do appreciate it. Get to the phone lines in

784
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: just a second here, but I want to tell you

785
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: about this twenty three and Me settlement. Reuter's reporting that

786
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: twenty three and Me has agreed to a thirty million

787
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: dollar settlement in this data breach lawsuit. Some of you

788
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: remember last year, this data breach that happened with twenty

789
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: three and me affected about seven million customers personal information.

790
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: And hackers got access to one of the databases that

791
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: twenty three and Me had, and I guess they cleaned

792
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: it out and got all this information on these people.

793
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: And this is like you know, DNA information whatever they

794
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: have in twenty three and me. If you want to

795
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: check to see if you are affected, you probably got

796
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: an email from twenty three and Me at this point,

797
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: I guess. But you can go to that website have

798
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: I been poned dot com? Have I been pwned dot com?

799
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: And you can type in your email address and it

800
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 1: will tell you. Now, I did do the twenty three

801
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: and me DNA test. I guess I was not involved

802
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: in this breach because it does not come up. What

803
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: does come up is that my info was breached with

804
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: AT and T, Bitley, Canva, Dzer, Discus, Dropbox, hot Look.

805
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know signing up for a hot Look, Kickstarter,

806
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: MGM Resorts minted my fitness Pal, National Public Data, Patreon,

807
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: share This, Trello, Zinga, White Pages. So yeah, my info's

808
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: out there, so is yours. I'm sure that website is.

809
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: Have I been ponned pwned dot com anyway? So twenty

810
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: three and meters will I guess payout once a federal

811
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: judge approves this, So if you were affected, you might

812
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: have a little money coming your way.

813
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: They expect. I thought this was interesting.

814
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: Twenty five million dollars of this thirty million dollar settment

815
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: will be covered by their cyber insurance. So I bet

816
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: they're thinking, Wow, I'm glad we had that cyber insurance.

817
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: Glad Jim recommended we go we opt for the cyber

818
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,479
Speaker 1: insurance because it really is going to pay off. Eighty

819
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four

820
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: to two four to one zero one. Jerry in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.

821
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 12: You're on with Rich Rich Rich. I've got the Android

822
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:04,959
Speaker 12: tablet with a five point two Bluetooth and I've hooked

823
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 12: it up to a wireless earbus. Not a problem. But

824
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 12: I've got a keyboard. I watch you teke keyboard, and

825
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 12: also I wanted to take the mouse, two separate ones.

826
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 12: But I want to pair it to my tablet without

827
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 12: using the doggle because the has a C connector, which

828
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 12: you are very flimsy, and I have used two adapters

829
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 12: to get the receiver built into. You know, either one

830
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 12: can I Can I pair this tablet to either the

831
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 12: keyboard or the mouse without using that the receiver?

832
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: No, not if it doesn't have Bluetooth. So a lot

833
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: of these mobile keyboards are mice that are wireless. They

834
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: use their own frequency to transmit. Some of them are both,

835
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: some are Bluetooth, and some have the dongle, and you

836
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: can choose. But if this product does not have the

837
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: Bluetooth built in, you're not gonna be able to connect

838
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 1: it without the dog go because it does not use

839
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: that dongle, does not use Bluetooth. It's not recreating a

840
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: Bluetooth signal. It's it's creating its own wireless signal, probably

841
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: a two point four gig Hurtz or something like that.

842
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 1: So your options are to get an adapter, like you said,

843
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: and they do make some slim adapters. But the problem

844
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: is if you're using this for a tablet, you probably

845
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: don't want adapter sticking out because it's going to just

846
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: get caught up on things and get messed up. Do

847
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: you know what kind of keyboard this is?

848
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a Logitech tape I've done on your website.

849
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 12: They don't tell you much about it. They gave me

850
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 12: a bunch of letters and numbers or the bluetooth, but

851
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 12: apparently it doesn't correlate to the tablet of it at all.

852
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking up this keyboard.

853
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: This does not have bluetooth, so it is a It

854
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: is just using its own wireless system.

855
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: So, uh, with that said.

856
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: You could the popular keyboard that that you know a

857
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: lot of people use with Logitech is the Keys to Go,

858
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: and so it's a little bit more expensive. It's seventy bucks.

859
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: The one that you're talking about is closer to twenty five.

860
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: But this seventy dollars keyboard does have the Bluetooth built in,

861
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: and so I know that. And Logitech has a bunch

862
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: of keyboards that are like mobile keyboards, so you can

863
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: check there, or you can just go online and find

864
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: a Bluetooth keyboard that would work with this. So yeah,

865
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: it's it's funny. A lot of people don't realize that

866
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: you can connect a keyboard or you can actually just

867
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: plug in a mouse to your I believe to your

868
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: iPhone as well as your Android phone. But you know,

869
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: if you have like a corded mouse, just do it.

870
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny. You just plug it in as

871
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: long as it's USBC, which all the modern phones are,

872
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: plug it in and it will you'll see that little

873
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: cursor pop up on your phone, and it's it's kind

874
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: of a weird experience. I think I did an Instagram

875
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: video about this once on the iPhone. But yeah, you

876
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: can do that and again with these keyboards and the mice.

877
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: You know, you buy these wireless mice. So that's one

878
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: good thing to look for if you're ever if you're

879
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: ever shopping for a Bluetooth or I should say a

880
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: mouse or a keyboard that's wireless, make sure you check

881
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: to see what the specs are on the wireless sort

882
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: of transmission because you want to make sure that you

883
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: have something that's going to work with your device.

884
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 3: If you don't want to use that dongle, you need

885
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 3: to make sure it's Bluetooth.

886
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: And so it throws a lot of people off because

887
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: you think, oh, I don't need the dongle, I've got

888
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: a Bluetooth device. No, it's the keyboard doesn't have that

889
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: Bluetooth built in to take advantage of it.

890
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,479
Speaker 3: Jerry and Hatfield, Pennsylvania, Thanks so much for the call today.

891
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.

892
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight rich one on one eight eight eight

893
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. You might

894
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: have gotten an email from Microsoft saying you got to

895
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: do something, You got to take action or else your

896
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: email is going to stop sinking.

897
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 3: So here's what's happening.

898
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: Starting September sixteenth, you will not be able to sink

899
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: your email unless you switch to a modern email program

900
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: for your Outlook email. And when they say Outlook, that

901
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: usually means any sort of Microsoft email. So what happened

902
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: is you probably authenticated your email a long time ago

903
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: on the iPhone or on an Android device, or on

904
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: your computer, and now Microsoft needs to make sure that

905
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: it's using modern authentication, so instead of just that basic

906
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: authentication method, which is your username and password back in

907
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: the day, it's now using a higher level of security

908
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: to make sure you are who you say you are.

909
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: So in many cases, especially if you're using the iPhone,

910
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: all you have to do is delete your account off

911
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: of your iPhone, delete that Outlook account or that Microsoft

912
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: account off your iPhone, and then just readd it. So

913
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: the system has been upgraded over the years, and so

914
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: all you have to do is just.

915
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 3: Relog in and it should work.

916
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: They have different kind of instructions for all these different

917
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: setups you might have. So if you're on Outlook for Windows,

918
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: you might have to upgrade to a newer version of

919
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: Outlook or switch to Outlook dot Com slash exchange sinking.

920
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: If you're on Mozilla Thunderbird, which is a free email

921
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: app on your computer, all you have to do is

922
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: remove and read the count the account. That should be

923
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: just fine. On Apple again Apple Mail, just remove that

924
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: account and read as Outlook dot com. And on any

925
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: other app basically just just log in using that Outlook

926
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: dot Com option and that's pretty much it. So this

927
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: timeline started on June eleventh, so they probably been bugging

928
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: folks since then, but September sixteenth, if that day comes

929
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: and you have not switched over to a better log in,

930
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: they are going to stop your email from sinking. So

931
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: if that's happening to you, or if you've gotten this message,

932
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: that's what you need to do is just basically delete

933
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: your account and relog in. Unless you're using a super

934
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: old version of Outlook, which is twenty seven, twenty ten,

935
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, twenty sixteen, and twenty nineteen, you have to

936
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: download the new free version of Outlook, which they do

937
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: offer for both Windows, Mac, and and also the mobile devices.

00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one on one. Coming up this hour,

939
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to tech YouTuber I Justine. She's

940
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: going to share her thoughts on the new iPhone sixteen

941
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: plus the other Apple products.

942
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 3: My name is Rich Dmiro.

943
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: This is Rich on Tech, the website for the show

944
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,959
Speaker 1: richon Tech dot TV. We'll get back to those phone

945
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 1: lines in just a few minutes here. Eighty eight rich

946
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: one oh one eight eight eight seven four to two

947
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: four one zero one. Give me a call if you

948
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: have a question about technology.

949
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: Redondo Beach. So you're on with Rich.

950
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 13: Hi, Rich. I don't know if I'm being skeptical or not,

951
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 13: but uh, I had to sign up with Experience for

952
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 13: three months for free through Triple A because our truck

953
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 13: was stolen, And now that the three months have lapsed,

954
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 13: I'm getting all these messages from Experience saying that my

955
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 13: social Security number is now on the dark Web, And

956
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 13: I'm thinking, do they just want me to sign up

957
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 13: for a fee now that I surpassed the threeb three months.

958
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 14: I don't know whether you believe it or not.

959
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: Well, you can believe it. Your information is out there

960
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: for sure. There's nothing you can do about it. That's

961
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: the sad part. So there's a difference. And I've talked

962
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: about this before on the show that the difference is

963
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: there are data brokers, and that's all those like Spokeyo

964
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: and people finders and stuff like that. They have your

965
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: data and yes, it's like your name, your address, your

966
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: phone number, your age.

967
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 3: And then there's the dark web.

968
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: And the dark web is where this stuff lives in

969
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: a much more unstructured format. So this is information that

970
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: is stolen from databases and hackers have gotten a hold

971
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: of it and it is just freely being passed around

972
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: on the Internet and there's really nothing you can do

973
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: about it because it lives in these repositories online that

974
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 1: just nobody has control over.

975
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: It's just data files being exchanged.

976
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: So I don't think that Experience is lying that your

977
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: information is out there on the dark web. But until

978
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: they give you a specific example of what that information

979
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: is and specifically the data that's out there, I will

980
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: tell you I feel like Experience and all these companies

981
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: that we've signed up for to protect our information, like

982
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: we you know, we all froze our information after the

983
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: big data breach, they are using this as a huge

984
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to spam us, to sell us on all of

985
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 1: this data protection privacy policy stuff. You know, Experience should

986
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: be protecting you no matter what, because they're the ones

987
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: that you know approve these uh you know, these credit

988
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: score things, you know, like we're all your your credit

989
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: report and things like that. So, Sue, the short answer

990
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 1: is your information's probably out there.

991
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 3: There's not really much you can do about it. Sadly.

992
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: Now, if you want a free way to check to

993
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: see what your uh what information is actually out there,

994
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 1: I use Google. It's called Results about You, and it's

995
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: free and so It used to be that you had

996
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: to pay for this, but now they actually they actually

997
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: give you a free access to this, and that is

998
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: rolling out, so she may not have access immediately. But

999
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: if you do a Google search for Google results about you,

1000
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: you can set up a profile to monitor the dark web.

1001
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: And Google obviously crawls the web every single day and

1002
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: they go into the far reaches of the Internet, so

1003
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: if your information is out there, they will unearth it.

1004
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: And the stuff that you can search for is your name,

1005
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: your address, your phone number, your email, your social security number,

1006
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 1: your use your name.

1007
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 3: And your password.

1008
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: And so once you add that information to your Google profile,

1009
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: they will say anytime that that information is found in

1010
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 1: the dark Web, they will alert you. And it's actually

1011
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: legitimate because I get those alerts and it tells you

1012
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: it's like, here's the actual information we found, whereas the

1013
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: experience email that you're getting is saying we found your

1014
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: information on the dark Web.

1015
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,479
Speaker 3: Here sign up to learn more.

1016
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 1: That's, you know, in effect, is just kind of baiting

1017
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: you into into signing up for something you may or

1018
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: may not need.

1019
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 3: So does that help Sue.

1020
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 13: Yes, it does. But if you see it on Google

1021
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 13: and it does come out positive and all that, then

1022
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 13: what do you do about it?

1023
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: Then there's nothing you can do about it, sadly. If

1024
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 1: it's so, there's again it comes back to two things.

1025
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: So Google will do two things for you. They will

1026
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: tell you, hey, we just found your information on whitepages

1027
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: dot com or spochio dot com or housefinder dot com.

1028
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: Would you like us to take down that search result.

1029
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't take down the information, but it takes down

1030
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,720
Speaker 1: that link on Google to your information. So if someone's

1031
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: searching for you, that link will not show up, and

1032
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: you can do that in about a second through the

1033
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: notification they send you, and they will say do you

1034
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: want this on the web? And you say no, and

1035
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: it will just basically ninety nine percent of the time

1036
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: they approve it and they will take it down. When

1037
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: it comes to the dark web, it's more of an

1038
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: awareness thing. So the dark web is more of an

1039
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 1: awareness that your information is out there. Your usernames, your passwords,

1040
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: your social those are the pieces of information that are

1041
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: pretty much at this point out there for everyone, sadly

1042
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: because of some of the recent data breaches. But there's

1043
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: not really much you can do to pull that back.

1044
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: But what you can do is understand the fact that

1045
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 1: once that information's out there, you have to protect your

1046
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: identity at any cost, which means freezing your credit reports,

1047
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: putting a fraudler on your credit reports as well, and

1048
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: making sure you're not using the same password over and

1049
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: over or the same user name over and over, because

1050
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: once they're out there, these hackers are trying them on

1051
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: different websites and that's many times how people get hacked.

1052
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 3: So, Sue, great question.

1053
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: I know it sounds a little disconcerting to know that

1054
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: this information is out there and there's not.

1055
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 3: Much we can do. But is that is the reality

1056
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 3: of all these data breaches?

1057
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: All right?

1058
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to talk with I Justine.

1059
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: You might know her from YouTube. She's going to share

1060
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: her thought thoughts on all of the new Apple products

1061
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: right here on rich on Tech.

1062
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 3: Welcome back to rich on Tech.

00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

1064
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: triple eight rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight

00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. We will

1066
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 1: get back to those phone lines in just a few minutes.

1067
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: But first, very excited to have my next guest on

1068

Speaker 1: the show. She has over seven million subscribers on YouTube.

1069
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 1: One of the ogs. She might have invented the genre

1070
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: of covering tech in the way that you see it

1071
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: covered today on the internet. I Justine, Justine, welcome to

1072
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:43,480

Speaker 3: Thanks for being on. And saw you up at the event.

1075
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: This actually was one of the first times that we

1076
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: actually did not chat at the Apple event because things

1077
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: were so frantic.

1078
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 15: It was very frandt.

1079
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 16: I did see you on the news in the hotel

1080
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 16: lobby while I was eating breakfast.

1081
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 15: The picture I need to send it to you.

1082
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 1: That is awesome and see and I actually just told

1083
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: the story about my mom seeing me on or hearing

1084
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 1: me on the radio, And there is just something exciting.

1085
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: Even when I see you like pop up somewhere, I'm like, oh,

Speaker 1: I know her, Like it's just there's something fun about it, right,

1087
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: I know.

1088
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 15: It was so good.

1089
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 16: I was hoping to see you come around the corner

1090
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 16: of really surprise. I'm also here too, Yes.

1091
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: We have We've traditionally stayed at the same place sometimes,

1092
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: but I chose a different place this time and it

1093
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: was fine, you know, so I mine had free breakfast

1094
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: as well, which I always like in a hotel that's.

1095
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 15: Honestly all that matters. Free breakfast and Wi Fi.

1096
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 3: Yes.

1097
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: Oh and my WiFi was not good at this hotel,

1098
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: which was really sad. I actually think one of the

1099
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: main hotel chains in French their name means bad WiFi.

1100
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 3: That's what I've come to the conclusion of.

1101
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so Apple Event, what's your initial initial takeaway from

1102
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: the Apple Event this year with the iPhones, the Apple Watch,

1103
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 1: and the AirPods.

1104
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 15: You know, I'm I'm obviously excited.

1105
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 16: I think one of the most surprising things was the

1106
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 16: I think we knew it was already coming, but like

1107
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 16: the air Pods Pro too, Like that update is huge,

1108
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 16: you know, the fact that we're going to be getting

1109
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 16: all of those health features for hearing and health and

1110
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 16: it's just it's amazing because it's at that price point too,

1111
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 16: Like that can help so many people that need that

1112
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 16: extra hearing assistance.

1113
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 15: Obviously, the iPhone sixteen Pro and.

1114
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 16: The capture button, I feel like that's going to take

1115
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 16: some getting used to because even trying to use it

1116
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 16: during the hands on events, I kept forgetting that I

1117
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 16: could hit the button, and they kept reminding me, no, no,

1118
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 16: you can hit the button.

1119
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 15: You don't have to go and like search for the

1120
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 15: camera app and do it the ways that you normally did.

1121
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 15: So it's going to be so fun to try that out.

1122
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like anything else. It takes a little bit

1123
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 3: of muscle memory.

1124
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: Although I will say, and you can, you can tell

1125
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: me what your thoughts are on this. So the action

1126
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: button I still a year in do not. I always

1127
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: forget it's there, and so I haven't set a good

1128
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: shortcut for it. I haven't really set a good use

1129
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: for it. What are you using that for? That's the

1130
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: other button they added last year. Now that's coming to

1131
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: the fifteen are sorry they started it on the fifteen

1132
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: Pro lineup. Now it's on the entire sixteen lineup. Which

1133
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: is the button on the left hand side. It used

1134
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: to be the Ringer silent switch. Now it's like a

1135
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: programmable button you can make do anything.

1136
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 3: Really.

1137
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 15: Yeah, I just have it set up as my silent.

1138
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 16: Which my phone is always on silent, so it's you know,

1139
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 16: it doesn't really get that much use, but I have

1140
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 16: seen a lot of people do a lot of really

1141
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 16: cool things with it, like set it up to use

1142
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 16: as shortcuts. But most of the time, you know, I

1143
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 16: have my camera app on like my main home screen,

1144
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 16: so I just tap that, don't even have to like

1145
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 16: log into my phone and just start going to themer

1146
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 16: because I think that's going to be the biggest feature

1147
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 16: for me, is being able to just hit that button

1148
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 16: on the side and the camera actually just pop up

1149
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 16: and open.

1150
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: Yes, it's interesting because I thought that Apple might because

1151
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: on the on the androids, basically it's all of them

1152
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: kind of do the double tap of the power button

1153
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 1: will bring up the camera.

1154
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 3: And so now on I phone you have it.

1155
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they kind of one uped it because I

1156
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: was always like, oh, that's reserved for Apple Pay on

1157
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: the iPhone, but now they actually added a whole other

1158
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: way to launch the camera, which in some ways is

1159
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: even better because now you can launch your Apple Pay

1160
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: and your camera dedicated buttons, which is nice, which is rare.

1161
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 15: Oh I too for sure.

1162
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 16: No, I mean I use the Apple Pay button all

1163
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 16: the time because I don't even ever carry actual credit cards,

1164
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 16: So it's amazing to sort of have that sort of

1165
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 16: be its dedicated thing.

1166
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 15: And I think it's cool because this is still the

1167
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 15: beginning for that. So you know what.

1168
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 16: Apple showed us there could be more things down the line.

1169
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 16: That they update in the software to give us more features,

1170
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 16: and having third party developers be able to really.

1171
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 15: Tap into that for their apps.

1172
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 16: I mean, it's going to be a whole kind of

1173
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 16: new way, and I think this really shows Apple's dedication

1174
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 16: to making these be so much more than phones be

1175
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 16: content creation devices.

1176
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 15: And even on the fifteen shooting in pro res log.

1177
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 16: I mean, I don't think enough people experience the full

1178
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 16: capacity of like what you can do with that footage

1179
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 16: and how amazing you can make it look. So as

1180
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,760
Speaker 16: soon as we get our hands on that one twenty

1181
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 16: progress and shooting in log on like an external drive,

1182
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:12,280
Speaker 16: it's going to be so amazing.

1183
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 15: So I'm just getting so excited.

1184
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: Explain that for the light person, Like, what does that

1185
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: mean exactly? It's like basically like Hollywood style creation or what.

1186
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 16: Yeah, So it basically will give you kind of like

1187
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 16: a very flat image, but it's preserving a lot of

1188
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 16: the color data inside of it to give you the

1189
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 16: ability to collagrade it and kind of add your own style.

1190
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 16: So it's kind of preserving a lot of those low lights,

1191
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 16: highlights and that color to let you kind of have

1192
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 16: more creative style. And then one hundred and twenty frames

1193
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 16: a second is just some super set up video that

1194
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 16: you can then slow down to make it very slow

1195
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 16: and cinematic. And for that you do need to use

1196
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 16: an external drive, So any of those like faster USBC drives,

1197
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 16: you can plug those directly into your phone now and

1198
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 16: record right to the drive and you basically have all

1199
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 16: of your footage there that you can take edit and

1200
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 16: it's so exciting.

1201
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: So on the base models, you got five colors, black, white, pink, teal,

1202
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: and ultramarine. Which is your pick? Which one did you

1203
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: like the most?

1204
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 15: I mean, is that even a question? Obviously the pink one.

1205
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 2: I knew it.

1206
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, because I use my Pink Eye

1207
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: Justine cable every single day. So I set it up

1208
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: actually on the side of my couch. I have the

1209
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: cable coming out from the back of the wall so

1210
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: I can like just sit down. I've got my little

1211
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: table and my little cable where I can charge my

1212
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: phone while I'm sitting there. And I love it, so

1213
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: I use it every day. You did that, what was

1214
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:33,439
Speaker 1: it a couple of years ago?

1215
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 3: Right?

1216
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, that was like two years ago.

1217
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I still love it. You're still selling it.

1218
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 15: I know, yeah, I know they're still there.

1219
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 16: I think we're going to be doing something for breast

1220
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 16: cancer where it is in October, so stay tuned.

1221
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 15: Very excited about that. Okay, But yeah, the pink iPhone.

1222
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 16: It's funny because I kept looking at the color and look,

1223
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 16: I had a graphic design background, so as soon as

1224
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 16: I looked at it, I was like, that's.

1225
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 15: Actually more of a barry color than pink. But okay,

1226
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 15: it's all right.

1227
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 16: It does have a little more of a purple kind

1228
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 16: of look to it, like when we were looking at

1229
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 16: them at the hands on, but you know what, pink

1230
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 16: is pink.

1231
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 15: It's pink enough for me and.

1232
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 3: I'll take it now.

1233
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: On the pro models, the colors are a little more

1234
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: muted because I guess the way that you affect titanium

1235
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: is tougher. I don't know, I'm not an expert in

1236
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: this stuff, but four finishes black, natural white, and desert titanium,

1237
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: So what's your pick there?

1238
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 15: Definitely going to go with the desert. I keep wanting

1239
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 15: to call it a desert rose because it does sort.

1240
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 16: Of have like that warm kind of gold feeling, which

1241
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 16: matched really well.

1242
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 15: With the new gold titanium watch band.

1243
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 16: As well and that new gold finish, because it did

1244
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 16: look a little bit different when we were kind of

1245
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 16: holding them up in the hands on events and I

1246
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 16: did compare them side by side to each other, and

1247
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 16: they just they look stunning.

1248
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: So you've been covering this stuff for a long time.

1249
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: A what keeps you excited? And B what are people

1250
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: saying to you about these new devices? Like what are

1251
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: they asking about the most?

1252
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 16: I think everyone just kind of really wants to see,

1253
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 16: like what's the differences? And I think the hard thing is,

1254
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 16: you know, there's not huge differences in between each of

1255
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 16: these upgrades, Like if you have a fifteen, like you

1256
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 16: really don't need to go and get as sixteen, but

1257
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 16: do you want to?

1258
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 15: Yeah? Maybe I think that's where it's.

1259
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 16: It's the hard thing is like there are kind of

1260
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 16: these incremental updates where you don't need to update every

1261
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 16: single year. I think if I wasn't a tech reviewer

1262
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 16: that was doing this every single year, I probably wouldn't need.

1263
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 3: To That's not true. You come on, you're I know

1264
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 3: you're like me.

1265
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: It's like to me, like my brain just works like

1266
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: I want the latest, Like I just no matter what,

1267
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm just.

1268
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 16: Trying to be like logical, Like you know, if I'm

1269
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 16: just like, you know, every day hanging out, like you

1270
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 16: really don't need it because it's still so great. And

1271
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,479
Speaker 16: then you know, I see photos and videos that people

1272
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 16: are taking on their you know, iPhone twelves, I'm like, oh.

1273
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 15: They still look incredible. So there is a big difference.

1274
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 16: I think when you kind of go from you know,

1275
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 16: five generations before to one of these, it is a

1276
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 16: holy world, Like everything just is so smooth and snappy.

1277
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 16: And the biggest difference that I have seen from the

1278
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 16: sixteen Regulars to the sixteen pros is the screen how fast?

1279
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 16: Because it's one hundred and twenty perks on the pros

1280
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 16: and it's still only sixty on the regulars. So there

1281
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 16: is a bit of screen discrepancy. But if you've never

1282
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 16: actually used one of the faster promotion displays, you're not

1283
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 16: going to realize it.

1284
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, when I use my wife's phone, I like,

1285
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 3: you know, swipe and I'm.

1286
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Like, wait, why is this so slow? It's like it

1287
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: literally looks to me like it's in slow motion. But again,

1288
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: she's a casual user. She doesn't even care, Like I'm like,

1289
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: don't you want the new phone? Don't you want the

1290
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: new watch? Don't you want the new And she's like,

1291
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,439
Speaker 1: why what do I need? Like I don't And really

1292
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: sometimes it just comes down to color. All right, we've

1293
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: got it run. But I'm just curious. You know I

1294
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: said this earlier, but you know you've been covering this

1295
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: for a while. What keeps you going, Justine? What keeps

1296
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: you excited about this stuff? What keeps you energized? I

1297
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: know you work very very hard to keep all these

1298
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: things up to date for your followers.

1299
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, I think it's it really is fun for me.

1300
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 16: And I think taking these devices and going somewhere cool

1301
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 16: and kind of just really showing what they can do

1302
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 16: is what's so fun for me. And I like to

1303
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 16: use as an excuse to like go do fun stuff

1304
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 16: like oh it's a fine season, gotta go somewhere cool

1305
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 16: and make a review.

1306
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: I love that great, great outlook. Thanks so much for

1307
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: joining me today. I appreciate it.

1308
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 15: Yes, thank you, so great to chat with you.

1309
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 3: All right.

1310
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: I Justine follow her on on YouTube obviously, but on

1311
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: all social media you can find her.

1312
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 3: It's pretty easy to find.

1313
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 1: Just start just type I into Google and it might

1314
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: be like I Justine an iPhone might come up.

1315
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 3: The first two things.

1316
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

1317
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: four two four one zero one coming up. I'll take

1318
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: more of your calls and I'll tell you which major

1319
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 1: airline is putting Starlink on board for super fast Wi Fi.

1320
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: And I've tried it and it's incredible. This is Rich

1321
01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: on Tech Brian in Marietta, California.

1322
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 3: Brian, you're on with Rich Hey, how are you today?

1323
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 3: I am doing excellent. I hope you can hear it

1324
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 3: in my voice. What's up?

1325
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 6: Oh?

1326
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 4: That's a quick ones, A couple of quick questions.

1327
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 5: Actually, So, I know.

1328
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 12: You were talking about carriers this.

1329
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 5: Morning, and so like Verizon and you know, or Visible

1330
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 5: or Total.

1331
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,919
Speaker 17: If I go with the cheap the other carriers other

1332
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 17: than Variegon he's all owned by Verizon doing peak, Are

1333
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 17: they gonna problem throw me back?

1334
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 5: Or you know I'm not going to get act.

1335
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 4: You know I'm gonna have problems getting.

1336
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 5: Onto the network today.

1337
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 4: Prioritize people who who pay for Veriding direct versus like

1338
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 4: Visible or Total.

1339
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 5: Wireless.

1340
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting questions. So okay, number one. My My main

1341
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: response to this is that if you're doing any sort

1342
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: of job where you're truly relying on the speed and

1343
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: availability of a network anywhere you need to go with

1344
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: one of these high priced, you know, traditional plans, that

1345
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: is first party and it's through AT and T, it's

1346
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: through T Mobile, it's through Verizon. Because if your if

1347
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: your job or what you're doing relies on it, and

1348
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: you always need that priority, then yes, that's going to

1349
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: be the best possible way to get that priority. Because

1350
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: typically with the mv and os, there is a provision

1351
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: that says, yeah, we may slow you down when we

1352
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: need to, and that is in the provision of the

1353
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: plan that you're signing up for now. It's also in

1354
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: the provision of the major plans as well. But in general,

1355
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: the you know, if your Verizon, you're going to prioritize

1356
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: your your top customers first because they're the ones paying

1357
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: the premium plans. So with that said, I think that

1358
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of people are fine on

1359
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: these mv and O plans because most of the time

1360
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: you just want to check Facebook, Instagram, whatever. Now, for

1361
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: me personally, I will tell you that in a lot

1362
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: of times, like I want to have the best access

1363
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: to the network because I'm uploading large videos. I'm downloading

1364
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: large videos and I just want to have that ability.

1365
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: So the cool thing is there's this new thing called

1366
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: Broadband Facts. It's kind of like nutrition facts, but for

1367
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: all of the cellular companies, anyone that provides internet in

1368
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: America has to now do this Broadband Facts label. It

1369
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: looks just like the nutrition facts on the side of

1370
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, a piece of food or you know, some

1371
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 1: sort of food, but it's all about broadband. And so

1372
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: it'll tell you what the monthly price is, what the

1373
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: additional charges and fees are, any discounts, what the typical

1374
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: speeds are of that plan, the data that's included with

1375
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: your monthly plan. And then there's something called network management,

1376
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: and that's what you want. Click and you can go

1377
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: in and read how they will manage your network. So,

1378
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: for instance, I popped Mint's Network Management plan into my

1379
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: AI to summarize it, and it says Mint Mobile may

1380
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: slow down your data speeds in the following scenarios after

1381
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: reaching your plans high speed data allotment. So for the

1382
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: unlimited plan, this occurs after using forty gigs of five

1383
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: G or four G in your monthly period. Let's see

1384
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: during times of network congestion. Mint Mobiles network supplier may

1385
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: reduce speeds during periods of high network traffic, even if

1386
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: you haven't exceeded your high speed data allotment.

1387
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 3: So what does that mean.

1388
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: It means that basically they reserve the right to throttle

1389
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: your data speed no matter what.

1390
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 3: Now, does that happen every single day all over the place.

1391
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 3: Probably not.

1392
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: I test a lot of phones, I test a lot

1393
01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: of networks, and quite honestly, I almost never have a

1394
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: problem anywhere. You might notice when you go to a

1395
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: football game there's a lot of people in the stadium. Sure,

1396
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: your Instagram story may take a little bit longer to

1397
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: go through if they're doing that, but in general, I

1398
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: think you could safely save the money and be okay.

1399
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 2: Now.

1400
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: I went to Visible's website and their network management policy

1401
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: is just redirected to Verizon, and so I asked to

1402
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: see what their policy is, and it says, after reaching

1403
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: your plans high speed data, we may slow down your

1404
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: data during times of network congestion. On certain plans, Verizon

1405
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: may prioritize your five G and four G data behind

1406
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: other traffic. If the cell site you're connected to experiences

1407
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: high demand during your session, your data speeds may be

1408
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: slower than other traffic. Once demand lessons or you connect

1409
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: to a different site not experiencing high demand, your speed

1410
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: should return to normal.

1411
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 3: So again, any of these.

1412
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: Carriers are going to reserve of the right to manage

1413
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: their network speed no matter what. And if you look

1414
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: at AT and T, they offer something called first Net,

1415
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: which is like for their first responders, and so that

1416
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:15,439
Speaker 1: network is sort of prioritized above and beyond. I guess

1417
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: they're regular folks that are not on that you know,

1418
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: first responder network.

1419
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 3: So you know, look, there's a lot to.

1420
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: This, but I think in general, I think you're gonna

1421
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: be fine unless you are in some sort of role

1422
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: where you require unlimited access all the time and the

1423
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: fastest access all the time.

1424
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 3: Brian, thanks so much for the call. Do appreciate it.

1425
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 3: I say, save the money, you'll probably be okay.

1426
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of super fast internet, United Airlines the first major

1427
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: airline to sign up with SpaceX Starlink. That means you

1428
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: are going to have super speedy in flight Wi Fi

1429
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 1: coming soon to United. Over one thousand aircraft they're gonna

1430
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: outfit with this Starlink Wi Fi. It's going to take

1431
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years. It's not gonna be instant. And

1432
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember when Wi Fi on planes

1433
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: was not a given, and I remember United was slowly

1434
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 1: rolling this out over all of their planes, and now

1435
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: they've got to go in and do it all over

1436
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: again with Starlink.

1437
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 3: But this is going to be much much better.

1438
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be super super fast gate to gate connectivity,

1439
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 1: high speed, low latency internet. I've tested this on Hawaiian Airlines.

1440
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 1: They were the first. I guess you can't call them

1441
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: the major airline because they're not like an American or

1442
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 1: a Delta or United, but it's still a pretty big airline.

1443
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: But they have it and I tried it, and it

1444
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 1: is incredible. We're talking speed you have at home. The

1445
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: things you can do at home you can now do

1446
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: on that airplane from the second you get on board

1447
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: to the second you land. That includes live TV, streaming,

1448
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: social media, shopping, gaming. My kid this morning was like,

1449
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: you mean I could play roadblocks on our flights home

1450
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: to New Jersey.

1451
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 3: Now, I said, yeah.

1452
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 2: Soon.

1453
01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: United is the first major carrier, like I said, and

1454
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 1: testing is going to begin in early twenty twenty five,

1455
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: with the first passenger flights expected later that year.

1456
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 3: I cannot wait.

1457
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: This is the airline that I take home to Newark

1458
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: all the time, and I cannot wait to have Starlink

1459
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 1: because I do like to work on the plane. And

1460
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: now you don't have to download stuff in advance. It's

1461
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: gonna be incredible. Let's see what happens with the other airlines. Oh,

1462
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: by the way, did I mention they're offering it for free?

1463
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 3: Even better?

1464
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,679
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one O one, rich on Tech dot

1465
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: TV more rich on Tech come your way right after this.

1466
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: What's going on? I'm rich Demiro and this is rich

1467
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 1: on Tech. Thanks for tuning in listening to the show

1468
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: where I talk about the tech stuff I think you

1469
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: should know about. It's also the place where I answer

1470

Speaker 1: that will take you to the show wiki. This is

1476
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 1: show number eighty nine. You can tap that to see

1477
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: all of the guests, all of the links that I mention,

1478
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: and all of the information that I mentioned in the

1479
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: show Let's see mela in Whittier wrote in what is

1480
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: this high split? I've been hearing about Spectrum working on

1481
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 1: a high split. Do you have any clue what that's about? Yes,

1482
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: I do, good question. So this is a cable this

1483
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: is cable network. So the biggest difference between cable internet

1484
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 1: and fiber internet is that fiber internet typically has the

1485
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: same upload and download speed, So if you get a

1486
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: thousand down, you're usually getting a thousand up as well.

1487
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: Now with cable typically they have reserved fast download speeds,

1488
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 1: but the upload speed is a lot slower. And they

1489
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: did that for a reason. It helps them manage the

1490
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 1: network where they know most people are downloading stuff and

1491
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: streaming stuff, and not so many people are uploading stuff

1492
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 1: back to the network, unless you're someone like myself who's

1493
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 1: dealing with large video files or any sort of large

1494
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: file that you're constantly uploading back to the network. And

1495
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: so they created these cable networks where they advertise, oh,

1496
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: get three hundred down. That's three hundred megabits per second

1497
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: down or five hundred megabits per second down. But then

1498
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: if you look at the upspeeds, they're typically much slower

1499
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 1: and so they might be thirty megabit, thirty megabits per

1500
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: second up or twenty or ten, depending on what the

1501
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: download speed is. So typically the download speed is really fast,

1502
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: the upload speed is a lot slower.

1503
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 3: The high split.

1504
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: Means that they are now configuring this cable network to

1505
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: put a larger portion of that bandwidth for the traffic

1506
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: going back up to the network, so the upload traffic.

1507
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: That's what they've been doing in a lot of neighborhoods

1508
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: to compete with Fiber. I'm assuming because Fiber advertises, hey,

1509
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 1: we've got the same speed up and down. You get

1510
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:10,640
Speaker 1: five hundred up, five hundred down, it's going to be

1511
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: super fast no matter what you're doing, and so that's

1512
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: been a marketing kind of differentiator for Fiber, and cable

1513
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: wants in on that. So they're saying, okay, let's do

1514
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: this high split where now we're giving people a very

1515
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: similar upload speed or a faster upload speed relative to

1516
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: their download speed.

1517
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 3: So hope that answers your question.

1518
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing because even with the

1519
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: download speeds, I mean, they're advertised heavily, but to be honest,

1520
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 1: unless you're doing something pretty wild with your internet connection,

1521
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: downloading big files all the time. You don't need the

1522
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 1: fastest download and upload speeds like even Netflix. If you're streaming,

1523
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: which is like ninety percent of what people are doing

1524
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: these days, you don't need that much speed. Netflix can

1525
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: work on a very slow Internet connection. That's part of

1526
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: the magic that makes streaming so great. You don't want

1527
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: buffering and all that stuff. But you know, a very

1528
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 1: typical connection these days will will work just fine. So

1529
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 1: if you're overpaying for your internet kind of take a

1530
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: look at that.

1531
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 3: You may not.

1532
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 1: Need that super super duper fast speed. Let's go to

1533
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: Patrick in Colorado Springs. Patrick, what's going on?

1534
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 17: Yes, thank you for taking my call. I'm coming off

1535
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 17: of thirteen years using an Apple Nano and I wanted

1536
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 17: to replace it because it's not working. And I'm wondering

1537
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 17: if you have a recommendation for a small unit that

1538
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 17: would have the two features that I need, which is

1539
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 17: FM radio and MP three player. I tried the one

1540
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 17: that Sony offers is called the E three ninety four,

1541
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 17: and I'm not happy with it. It has intermittent success

1542
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 17: with the feature that has automatically starts the next song,

1543
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 17: and so I don't want to have problems with that,

1544
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 17: But I'm looking at something between one hundred and two

1545
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 17: hundred bucks, maybe the highs to fifty. If you have

1546
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 17: a recommendation.

1547
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Well I don't have a recommendation. Off the

1548
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: top of my head. I have it's been a while

1549
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: since I used a product like this. It's very specific

1550
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: at this point, and I'm actually surprised that you had

1551
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 1: a problem because Sony is such high quality. What is

1552
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: the issue with this device? Because it looks exactly like

1553
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: what you need.

1554
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 17: It's a nice unit, is sixty nine dollars. It's called

1555
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,679
Speaker 17: the E three ninety four. And when you have say

1556
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 17: twenty songs on there, and you play one and you're

1557
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 17: not touching it.

1558
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 3: When you finish that.

1559
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 17: Song, it automatically starts the next. But in this case,

1560
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 17: it doesn't work. It just sits there and pauses. I

1561
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 17: can push pause, So I said, they were very nice.

1562
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 17: We worked through it about two and a half hours

1563
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 17: on technical Sport. They sent me a new one and

1564
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 17: it did the same thing. Now it only does it

1565
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 17: about one out of ten times. It will automatically start

1566
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 17: the next song nine times and.

1567
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 12: Then it won't one.

1568
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 17: But if you're using it at night, like I am.

1569
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 17: It means getting up, putting on the lights, putting on

1570
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 17: your glasses, and then I will say that the controls

1571
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 17: are our cake and cumbersome compared to the Apple product.

1572
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, that's that's why Apple is a number

1573
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: one tech company in the world, because they've they've done

1574
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 1: pretty well with their software. Well look, my initial thought

1575
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:18,599
Speaker 1: here is that the only other company, like the main

1576
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: brand that I know that does stuff like this is

1577
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: sand Disc. I don't know if you've heard of them,

1578
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: but you know, they've been around forever, and they did

1579
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: I mean, this was Actually it's funny because I think

1580
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: it was the Rio, but I had like basically, this

1581
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,759
Speaker 1: was the MP three player that I was using before

1582
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: I switched to the iPod and before I switched to

1583
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 1: the iPhone. I've been a runner for a long time,

1584
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: so I can tell you over the years. I can't

1585
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: believe how many devices I have run with over the

1586
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 1: years before the iPhone and actually now it's just the

1587
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, but it's or a smart watch in general.

1588
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 3: But it's pretty wild, like.

1589
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: The transition between like going from a tape player to

1590
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: a mini disc player. I think I had a CD

1591
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: player that I was running with at some point, which

1592
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 1: was rough because that was bouncy all the time, to

1593
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: to an iPod, to a nano, to a shuffle to

1594
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: a you know, an iPhone, and now of course the

1595
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:10,679
Speaker 1: Apple Watch.

1596
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 3: But it's it's just wild anyway.

1597
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: The sand Disc, they've got a thing called the sand

1598
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:20,719
Speaker 1: Disc Clip, and this is an MP three player plus.

1599
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: It does have an FM radio tuner built in as well,

1600
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: so it gives you everything you need. It's pretty inexpensive.

1601
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: You got sixteen gigs for fifty bucks, thirty two gigs

1602
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:33,640
Speaker 1: for sixty dollars.

1603
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,440
Speaker 3: But that is probably the one that I would recommend.

1604
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Sand Disc Clip Sport Plus, and they have a couple

1605
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: of them, so I would just look on the sand Disc. Now,

1606
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: sand Disc got they're owned by Western Digital, but they've

1607
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: got a couple. They've got the sand Disc Clip, Jam

1608
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: MP three, the Sport Go and the Sport Plus.

1609
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 3: So the thing you want to make sure is.

1610
01:17:55,880 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: That they have the the FM tuners. So I'm going

1611
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: to compare these real quick and see which one has

1612
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: the FM tuner because I know the one I mentioned does,

1613
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: but I don't know if the other one.

1614
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 3: Does that the other Okay, let's see.

1615
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Okay, they all have the FM, so all three of

1616
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 1: them have the features that you want. So the sand

1617
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: disk clip, whether you go at the JAM, the Sport

1618
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 1: or the Sport Plus, they all have everything you need,

1619
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: which is an MP three player and the FM radio

1620
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: built into it, and you should be good to go.

1621
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, obviously you're gonna have to

1622
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: test it out and see if it has the same

1623
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 1: issue that you had with your sony, but these are

1624
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 1: very inexpensive. I would buy it on Amazon so that

1625
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: you can return it if it doesn't work, and that

1626
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: should be exactly what you need. Now, if you don't

1627
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: want those, you can just go on Amazon and look

1628
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: up MP three FM player and there are a whole

1629
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: bunch of no name brands on there that may do

1630
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: exactly what you need. And in that case, when I'm

1631
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 1: looking for something on Amazon something like this, you're not

1632
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: going to find a lot of reviews online for or

1633
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 1: because they're just you know, no one's really reviewing these

1634
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: products at this point. But I personally would look for

1635
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: something that is prime, look at the reviews, make sure

1636
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: it has at least four maybe four and a half stars.

1637
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 1: You can look at Amazon's picks. They typically will tell

1638
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: you if an item is returned a lot, So click

1639
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: through and see if it says this item is commonly returned,

1640
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: and if it says that, stay away. Because Amazon has

1641
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: the data on these products, it looks good. They sell

1642
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: them on there and then people get them for a

1643
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 1: week and they return them. So I would look for

1644
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: one that has high ratings, maybe best seller overall, pick

1645
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: is prime and does not say that it's returned often.

1646
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: All right, Patrick and Colorado Springs, thanks so much for

1647
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 1: the call today. I do appreciate it. Sony has a

1648
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: new PlayStation five pro ps five pro. This is going

1649
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: to launch on November seventh. Can you believe this price tag?

1650
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 3: You ready?

1651
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 1: Six hundred and ninety nine dollars ninety nine cents, even

1652
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 1: more expensive than the PlayStation five. So I am curious

1653
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: how this is going to do. This is for really,

1654
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 1: I guess dedicated gamers seven hundred bucks. It's got a

1655
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: two terabyte solid state drive, It's got the Dual Sense

1656
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:18,719
Speaker 1: wireless controller. It has Wi Fi seven, which I don't

1657
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: think the PlayStation five has, so that's gonna be nice.

1658
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: But the problem is who has Wi Fi seven in

1659
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: their house? Not many people now, of course, they're going

1660
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 1: to tell you that it is better and faster than

1661
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 1: the current PlayStation five and better at doing the ray tracing,

1662
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 1: which is all the buzzword in the gaming community. Ray

1663
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: tracing is sort of like what shadows and things look

1664
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 1: like when they're rendered and reflections on the screen. The

1665
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: higher the better the ray tracing, the more realistic things

1666
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: look like. If you're walking down a street and the

1667
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: sun is shining from the right, you'll see that nice

1668
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: shadow on the left of you, and it's refreshed and

1669
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,560
Speaker 1: made to look very good when it's when the ray tracing.

1670
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 3: Is at a higher uh just a higher caliber.

1671
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 5: Uh.

1672
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 3: Anyway. Pre Orders open on September twenty sixth.

1673
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 1: The thing to know about the PlayStation five Pro is

1674
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 1: that even though it is more expensive, it and the

1675
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: visuals are supposed to look better. There's no disc, so

1676
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: no physical drive. You have to pay extra to add

1677
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,640
Speaker 1: that on to this device. So there you have it.

1678
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: PlayStation five Pro coming out November seventh, seven hundred dollars.

1679
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: This is not the new PlayStation. This is not the

1680
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: next generation PlayStation. This is sort of a stop gap

1681
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: until Sony comes out with something brand new. Whether that's

1682
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't follow the rumors on that, but that may

1683
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: be a couple of years out. Eighty eight rich one

01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: Eleven Labs is sort of the leader in AI voices

1701
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: and they have a great app that is free.

1702
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 3: And it can read you anything.

1703
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 1: So you can pop in an article or a book

1704
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: or a PDF and it will read it to you.

1705
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 3: Now, it's not perfect.

1706
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,240
Speaker 1: If you pop in an article from the Internet, it

1707
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: will read all kind of like the it will read

1708
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,799
Speaker 1: everything that's on the screen. So it's not perfect, doesn't

1709
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: like extract everything like a speech of five mite like,

1710
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 1: it doesn't do as good of a job. But it's

1711
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: free and it's pretty good. The voices are incredible. So

1712
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 1: they have a whole bunch of voices you can choose

1713
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 1: from to read you your articles, your books and text.

1714
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: But you can now choose celebrity voices. Depak Chopra, Sir

1715
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: Lawrence Olivier, James Dean, Burt Reynolds and Judy Garland. All

1716
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: of these voices can read to you now. So if

1717
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 1: you long for the days of James Dean or Burt

1718
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 1: Reynolds or Judy Garland reading to you, you can do that.

1719
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: Or if you want dpak to read to you, you

1720
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: can do it. Sir Laurence Olivier, have them read to you.

1721
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 1: You can put in text, weblinks, PDFs and e pubs

1722
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: and it's pretty incredible. And again it's all free. So

1723
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 1: it's called eleven Labs Reader, eleven Labs Reader, and it's

1724
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: available for iOS and Android. I will put the links

1725
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 1: on my website. Rich on tech dot Tv hit the

1726
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: light bulb, but eleven Labs Reader if you don't have

1727
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:55,679
Speaker 1: it on your phone, It's pretty incredible.

1728
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 3: I love it.

1729
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: I use it when I'm at the gym to catch

1730
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: up on articles that I am have been meaning to read.

1731
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: It's a much easier to have someone to read them

1732
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 1: to you. Let's go to Linda in Glendale. Linda, you're

1733
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: on with Rich.

1734
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 18: Hi, Rich, thank you for taking my call. How do

1735
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 18: I remove personal information from Google? Such as my past

1736
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 18: and currents addresses, phone numbers, and names of relatives and

1737
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:21,759
Speaker 18: court cases?

1738
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so I mentioned this earlier, but it's a feature

1739
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 1: on Google called Google Results about You. So it's a

1740
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,559
Speaker 1: weird name. I don't know why they call it that,

1741
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,680
Speaker 1: but that's what they call it. But basically, if you

1742
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 1: type Google Results about You into Google, the first couple

1743
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: of results, actually this looks like the sixth result on

1744
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 1: Google is my article for KTLA back in August of

1745
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, I first talked about this. But the

1746
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: thing is, you sign up. You already have a Google account.

1747
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: You sign up, you tell it the information that you

1748
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 1: want it to look for, and once you do, it

1749
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: will put its little feelers out on the web, and

1750
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: when it finds that information on a website, it will

1751
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: alert you. So, for instance, it found my information on

1752
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:15,720
Speaker 1: a website called unmasked dot com. And the information that

1753
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: was in there was I don't know, it looks like

1754
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:23,639
Speaker 1: my address and my name, and so you can tell Google, hey,

1755
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 1: I want this information taken out of Google searches. Now,

1756
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 1: that information is only removed from Google Search itself. That

1757
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: means that ninety percent of people when they're searching for you,

1758
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 1: they're just gonna pop your name into Google and these

1759
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 1: are the results that come up. That result will no

1760
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: longer be shown. It does not remove it from the

1761
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: original company. So if you want to remove it from

1762
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:48,560
Speaker 1: the original company, you either have to do it yourself,

1763
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:50,560
Speaker 1: which you can go to these websites.

1764
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 3: So if you if you go to a website, let's.

1765
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: Say for this unmasked dot com, right, so you can

1766
01:25:55,760 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 1: type in unmasked and say, uh, take down request. So

1767
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,720
Speaker 1: if you type that in, you'll get information on how

1768
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: to opt out of that website. And the website that

1769
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: comes up is opty dot com how to opt out

1770
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 1: of unmask And you can do this for all the

1771
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:19,879
Speaker 1: different websites and so, or you can subscribe to a service.

1772
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of these services like delete me and

1773
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 1: many many others out there that will. You can pay

1774
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: them a couple bucks a month and they will. They

1775
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: will remove your information from these services, or at least

1776
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:33,800
Speaker 1: attempt to. It's not the fastest process in the world.

1777
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:35,839
Speaker 1: You can do it by yourself, and I probably recommend

1778
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: doing that. So what I would do personally, Linda, is

1779
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 1: that I would go on Google whatever you're worried about,

1780
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 1: search for that information, and whatever website comes up, whether

1781
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 1: it's people results finder dot Com or true people Search,

1782
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: check People or whatever it is, and then just say

1783
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,639
Speaker 1: opt out and you can fill out that opt out form.

1784
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 1: And it takes a while sometimes and they kind of

1785
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 1: throw you through some hoops to do it, but once

1786
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 1: you do that, they will say, okay, fine, we'll take

1787
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: your information out of there now. If you live in California,

1788
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 1: there's also another way you can opt out of these

1789
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 1: things because we have some specialized laws in California. Not

1790
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 1: many people use it, but there is a privacy kind

1791
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 1: of law in California that allows you to opt out

1792
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: of this stuff quicker. I don't have the instructions on

1793
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 1: how to do that right now, but I will post

1794
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: them as a link on the show notes. But that's

1795
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: another option. If you live in California, which you do anyway. Yeah,

1796
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: this stuff is a mess. It's all over and if

1797
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: you want to clean up your stuff, you can also

1798
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 1: hire a professional that does this for a living.

1799
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 3: There are people out there that will do that.

1800
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: I've done stories with them, and it's a big business,

1801
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 1: especially for like celebrities and things, and also reputation management.

1802
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: If you have an article out there that you don't

1803
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: necessarily like about yourself, people want to get that off

1804
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 1: Google too.

1805
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 3: That's a little bit trickier. All right.

1806
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to talk to John from

1807
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 1: jen K Grown Up about eighties nostalgia. Fun topic coming up,

1808
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich

1809

1810
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 1: for the show rich on Tech dot TV. I know

1811
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 1: we had some questions about removing data from Google. I

1812
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: have updated the show notes and if you're in California,

1813
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 1: I put the specific California opt out information there from

1814
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 1: Consumerwatchdog dot org. They just came out with a report

1815
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: that says less than one percent of Californians exercise their

1816
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:41,640
Speaker 1: privacy rights with data brokers. So they've got a lot

1817
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: of good information about how to remove your data from

1818
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 1: various websites, not just Google. So definitely check that out

1819

01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 1: all so nostalgic for things, And I mean, you've created

01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 3: I was born in nineteen sixty nine.

1840
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 14: I grew up in the origin of a lot of

1841
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 14: I lived through the transition from vinyl.

1842
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:50,799
Speaker 3: To cassettes to CDs and all that.

1843
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,040
Speaker 14: And video gaming didn't exist when I was born, and

1844
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 14: I grew up and so I love that stuff, and

1845
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,880

01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 5: I co host nineteen Eighties now every Monday, and.

1853
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:22,679
Speaker 14: Anytime I get a chance to talk about this stuff

1854
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 14: that I love growing up, the nostalgic stuff.

1855
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:26,680
Speaker 3: As you said, Uh, that's where I do it, and

1856
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:27,400
Speaker 3: that's my outlet.

1857
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:29,960
Speaker 1: I love that title, by the way, nineteen eighties now,

1858
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 1: that's like so like it's such a great title.

1859
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 3: So how do you define nostalgia?

1860
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 14: I mean, I think every generation has a nostalgia for

1861
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,200
Speaker 14: what what what was new to them, what they enjoyed

1862
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 14: when they were kids.

1863
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:45,200
Speaker 12: You know.

1864
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 14: I people say, kind of it's a desire to go

1865
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:50,639
Speaker 14: back to a simpler time. But even if the times

1866
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 14: weren't that much simpler, our lives were simpler, you know

1867
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 14: when we were you know, in our in our teens,

1868
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,520
Speaker 14: and we didn't yet have jobs and families and mortgages

1869
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 14: and cars and you know, a roof to.

1870
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:02,160
Speaker 5: Fix and all that kind of stuff.

1871
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 14: And so I think that it colors the things we

1872
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:08,759
Speaker 14: enjoyed at that age because we had no other worries

1873
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 14: at the time other than you know, who am I

1874
01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 14: going to ask to the prom? And am I going

1875
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 14: to get my allowance this week? You know, those sorts

1876
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 14: of things, and it's so much simpler. And I think

1877
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:19,640
Speaker 14: as we get older and things get more complicated and

1878
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:23,759
Speaker 14: more complex, it's fun to go back and there's some endorphit.

1879
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:25,320
Speaker 14: I think that kicks off when you can go back

1880
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 14: and remember that thing from a time when you had

1881
01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 14: an easier or more carefree life.

1882
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 1: And of course these companies want to tap into it.

1883
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 1: So like, for instance, we had some pizza Hut last

1884
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 1: night and I was cracking up because if you look

1885
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: at their logo, they've gone back to like their old

1886
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: school logo. And when I held these pizza boxes, I'm

1887
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 1: sitting there, I'm like, I just it just warms something

1888
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 1: in your heart, right that, like, this is what I

1889
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 1: had as a kid, and now I'm having it here

1890
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:54,840
Speaker 1: as an adult with a mortgage and with things and kids.

1891
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 3: And other stuff.

1892
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 14: Yeah, I've seen some places that pizza have they bring

1893
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 14: back the stained glass lamps and the red cups, all

1894
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:03,400
Speaker 14: the things that made pizza hut magic.

1895
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I am. I am.

1896
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: So there's actually a list of the old school pizza

1897
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:09,760
Speaker 1: huts that are still around that where you can go

1898
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,599
Speaker 1: in and eat there. I want to bring my kids

1899
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: to that, but I haven't found a location that's close by.

1900
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 1: But I really want to do that because I didn't

1901
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 1: appreciate it back.

1902
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 3: Then, but now I do. Yeah, we do.

1903
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:23,519
Speaker 1: So what's popular with your with your viewers? Like what

1904
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean, gaming obviously is kind of probably top. So

1905
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:29,599
Speaker 1: is that pretty much tops right now?

1906
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 5: Well, certainly.

1907
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 14: I mean on my YouTube channel, I predominantly cover gaming.

1908
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 14: It's just kind of what I've the niche kind of

1909
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 14: fallen into. Even though I enjoy all things nostalgia, you know,

1910
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 14: tech and pop culture. But I mean anything Atari is

1911
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 14: of interest. You know, Tari as a company is kind

1912
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:48,000
Speaker 14: of emblematic of nostalgic gaming certainly. You know, they were

1913
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:52,799
Speaker 14: one of the originators of both arcade and then home gaming,

1914
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 14: and they've had quite a resurgence in the last couple

1915
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:57,599
Speaker 14: of years. Ever, since Wade Rosen took over as the CEO,

1916
01:32:57,680 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 14: and he's really trying to drive that company, you know,

1917
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:02,400
Speaker 14: out of obscurity and back into the its rightful place.

1918
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 14: All these mini consoles and many computers like the Little

1919
01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:09,640
Speaker 14: Commodore and the Little Atari eight bit, the ZX Spectrum

1920
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:13,040
Speaker 14: that just got announced. I think it's just goes back

1921
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 14: to that nostalgia we were just talking about. People love

1922
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 14: a chance to sample that stuff or remember it if

1923
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:21,559
Speaker 14: they if they already know it.

1924
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:23,479
Speaker 7: And all the little plug and.

1925
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 14: Play toys that you know, they oh, there's twenty games,

1926
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 14: you're plug in your TV.

1927
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 7: It's not quite right, but it's right enough.

1928
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:29,400
Speaker 1: You know.

1929
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:32,240
Speaker 14: Those are sort of things that are really they've had

1930
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 14: They've always been around a bit. They've had quite a

1931
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 14: resurgence and a push in the last couple of years.

1932
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we we've We've had a couple of those over

1933
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:41,679
Speaker 1: the years.

1934
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 3: Also, like the NYS Classic that came out.

1935
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,719
Speaker 1: So what what So when when you talk about these games,

1936
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 1: are you talking do they come out with new games

1937
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 1: for this or's always like old games that are just

1938
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 1: sort of new again.

1939
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 5: You know.

1940
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 14: It's both and Atari, especially who I just mentioned, they're

1941
01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 14: doing some amaze. Like just the last week, two weeks ago,

1942
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 14: they announced the Atari seventy eight hundred Plus, which is

1943
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:10,120
Speaker 14: a throwback to the seventy eight hundred from the I

1944
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,000
Speaker 14: guess late eighties. I think came out eighty nine or

1945
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:15,520
Speaker 14: something like that anyway, But in addition to re releasing

1946
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 14: some older games on physical media, which is what these

1947
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 14: consoles do, these plus consoles, since they recently purchased Atari Age,

1948
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:26,320
Speaker 14: which is a forum and community for Atari fans, they

1949
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 14: have embraced the homebrew developers. I just had a chance

1950
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,719
Speaker 14: to speak with Bob de Grezenzo, who's a long time

1951
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 14: homebrew developer, and they embraced him. They took some of

1952
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:39,439
Speaker 14: his homebrew games that he wrote, and you asked, but older,

1953
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:41,280
Speaker 14: newer games. These are games he's written the last two

1954
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 14: or three years. And they're making the legitimate. They're making

1955
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:47,600
Speaker 14: the part of the Atari library. Now it's not just

1956
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:50,520
Speaker 14: a hobbyist who wrote something and had a cartridge built.

1957
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 14: So many of the plug and plays are compilations, as

1958
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 14: you said, of stuff that's been around for thirty forty years.

1959
01:34:57,439 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 14: But Atari is doing a lot to breathe new life

1960
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 14: into these consoles with titles that are written by enthusiasts

1961
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 14: and now becoming legitimized as part of the game library

1962
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:09,879
Speaker 14: of Atari.

1963
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 3: That's so cool.

1964
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 1: So the reason why I found you was because I

1965
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:17,839
Speaker 1: was doing a story on sort of retro gaming. Visited

1966
01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 1: a store in the LA area called retro Respawn, which

1967
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:23,560
Speaker 1: is like, you know, these people go in there and

1968
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 1: they buy, sell, and trade old games, and it was

1969
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:30,680
Speaker 1: just wild to see that kind of community. And he

1970
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 1: was telling me Pokemon is really hot. Obviously Mario is

1971
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,639
Speaker 1: always hot, but it's wild to go into this store

1972
01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 1: where you have physical cartridges, you have games that haven't end.

1973
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 3: It's like almost like a mini.

1974
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 1: Movie compared to today's games like a Fortnite or a

1975
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:48,360
Speaker 1: you know what's the other one that all the kids

1976
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 1: like roadblocks, like these games never end. Back when we

1977
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 1: played games, or I guess you still do, you know,

1978
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 1: they had a beginning of middle and an end. It

1979
01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 1: was a storyline and now it's just open ended forever.

1980
01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:01,519
Speaker 14: Right, Or it was designed to kill you in about

1981
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:03,599
Speaker 14: three minutes like an arcade game, get another quartery out

1982
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 14: of your pocket.

1983
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:04,360
Speaker 12: Right.

1984
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 14: It was either a story that had beguinea midle end,

1985
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 14: as you said, or it was something that was fast

1986
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 14: action and twitch and how far can you get? What

1987
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,080
Speaker 14: high score can you get? Wait a second, you know

1988
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,200
Speaker 14: you just high scores. You just made me realize something

1989
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 14: that we have been getting played by these games for

1990
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 14: many years, because nowadays, like the kids are asking their

1991
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 14: parents for these little InApp purchases, right, ninety nine cents here,

1992
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 14: a dollar there.

1993
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:30,280
Speaker 1: But now I think about it, Yeah, the whole point

1994
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:33,320
Speaker 1: was to get those quarters out of your pocket into

1995
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 1: the game when you.

1996
01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:34,439
Speaker 3: Were a kid.

1997
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 14: That was the metric for old arcade games. Try to

1998
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:40,479
Speaker 14: get your quarter and kill you in three minutes because

1999
01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 14: that was how long it would take before to make money.

2000
01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 14: Get another quarter every three or four minutes was the goal.

2001
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:47,400
Speaker 14: So better you got, the worse it was for the

2002
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:48,600
Speaker 14: owner of that machine.

2003
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:50,680
Speaker 1: And I guess there's probably some rev share too with

2004
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:52,799
Speaker 1: the you know, the pizza place that had the machine

2005
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 1: in there, right right? What are your favorite games? What

2006
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:56,880
Speaker 1: are you into these days?

2007
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 14: So look, I still play old stuff. I go back

2008
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:05,080
Speaker 14: and play old Atari twenty six hundred titles regularly today.

2009
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:09,720
Speaker 14: I'm also really enjoying some of the reimagined games, and

2010
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 14: I keep mentioning Atari, but they're doing so much in

2011
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 14: the space right now they are doing these recharged games

2012
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 14: where they take a classic game like Breakout or Missile

2013
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 14: Command or Asteroids or Centipede, and they're reimagining it with

2014
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,360
Speaker 14: a techno soundtrack and power ups and things like that.

2015
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 14: They just came out with a new one called Yars Rising,

2016
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:32,080
Speaker 14: which was actually a kind of a metroid Vania exploration,

2017
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 14: power up your character sort of thing, nothing like the

2018
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 14: original Yars Revenge that Howard Scott Warshaw wrote decades ago,

2019
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 14: but in that universe. I like how especially Atari and

2020
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:44,960
Speaker 14: some other companies are starting to do this, are exploring

2021
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 14: their library and not just regurgitating the same games, but

2022
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,839
Speaker 14: iterating upon them and expanding the lore or the story

2023
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 14: or the gameplay in ways that makes sense to modern gamers,

2024
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:57,559
Speaker 14: but still try to appeal to the older guys like

2025
01:37:57,640 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 14: us who sorry, older guys like me, I won't group

2026
01:37:59,880 --> 01:38:00,200
Speaker 14: you with.

2027
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I don't know here, you're putting

2028
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:03,720
Speaker 1: me in a big grout home.

2029
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:06,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, we can enjoy it too. Yeah.

2030
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:09,240
Speaker 1: John Reddick from gen X Grown Up, thanks so much

2031
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 1: for joining me today.

2032
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,720
Speaker 3: Appreciate it one hundred percent. Thank you for having me.

2033
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 3: It's been great, all right, find his YouTube channel.

2034
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: If you're a nostalgic for a simpler time or simpler games,

2035
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:23,720
Speaker 1: check it out on YouTube. Jen X grown up. All right,

2036
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 1: coming up, it is the feedbag. Plus I'm gonna tell

2037
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:30,600
Speaker 1: you why weaimo's expanding, how much data we used in

2038
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, and what YouTube is doing to squeeze

2039
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:37,320
Speaker 1: some more money out of you. That's all coming up

2040
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 1: right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich

2041
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 1: on Tech. Closing out the show, a couple of news

2042
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:53,120
Speaker 1: items before we get to the feedbag. Johnny B in

2043
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 1: Sunny San Diego sent a note that said TurboTax is

2044
01:38:57,120 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 1: discontinuing its CD format for its desktop software. TurboTax desktop

2045
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: products will only be available via download from tax here

2046
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:11,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and on. The CD format is discontinued.

2047
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 1: You could download products from retailers. I guess you could

2048
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:18,640
Speaker 1: buy like the download there and TurboTax dot com. It

2049
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:21,640
Speaker 1: will still have a license code in installation instructions. The

2050
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:26,640
Speaker 1: software functionality will remain unchanged. The download products will be

2051
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:30,560
Speaker 1: available in early November, and again this only affects TurboTax

2052
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 1: desktop customers. If you're using TurboTax dot com that's a

2053
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 1: little bit different. But this is if you bought the

2054
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: box at the store like a Staples or office depot

2055
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 1: and did your taxes that way.

2056
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 3: Thanks Johnny B.

2057
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 1: Waimo and Uber are teaming up and expanding their partnership.

2058
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: They are gonna start driving in Austin and Atlanta. So

2059
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:55,759
Speaker 1: basically Uber is gonna supply these fully autonomous, all electric

2060
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:59,960
Speaker 1: self driving cars, and Uber is going to supply the app.

2061
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,960
Speaker 1: Reabook them service is going to start in twenty twenty five,

2062
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:09,080
Speaker 1: and Waimo one currently provides over one hundred thousand trips

2063
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 1: weekly in their three cities, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles.

2064
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 1: I know, I see them on the streets of Los

2065
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 1: Angeles and every time I see one, seeing that car

2066
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 1: driving by itself with no one in the driver's seat

2067
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:22,720
Speaker 1: always throws me for a loop. But people seem to

2068
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,599
Speaker 1: like them right now. They don't drive on freeways, that's

2069
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:32,400
Speaker 1: the limitation. Apparently, Americans using a record number of a

2070
01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:37,439
Speaker 1: record number of data wireless data in twenty twenty three.

2071
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:39,720
Speaker 3: Wireless data, according.

2072
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 1: To the CTIA, that's the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association,

2073
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 1: the big trade group that represents you know, Verizon, T Mobile,

2074
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 1: AT and T all the rest. Wireless data usage reached

2075
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:54,880
Speaker 1: over one hundred trillion megabytes in twenty twenty three, thirty

2076
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:58,679
Speaker 1: six percent increase from twenty twenty two. Five G devices

2077
01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 1: are now about forty percent of all wireless devices, up

2078
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 1: from thirty four percent in twenty twenty two. Total wireless

2079
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:08,719
Speaker 1: connections in the US five hundred and fifty eight million.

2080
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,720
Speaker 1: That's more than one point six per American. That makes

2081
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:13,880
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because it's not just cell phones.

2082
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 1: They are building Internet connections into everything, tablets, watches, cars,

2083
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:22,559
Speaker 1: pretty much anything you can think of your coffee mug.

2084
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: Just kidding, but they might. Let's see, total cell sites

2085
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty two, four hundred and sixty nine,

2086
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 1: twenty four percent more since twenty eighteen.

2087
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:35,600
Speaker 3: So they continue to build those.

2088
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:40,599
Speaker 1: And Americans exchange over two point one trillion text messages

2089
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:42,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Keep in mind that does not

2090
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:45,160
Speaker 1: include I message. That's Apple's own thing. It doesn't get

2091
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:49,639
Speaker 1: registered through this. Voice calls two point four trillion minutes

2092
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. That's actually down just slightly. Probably

2093
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. We talk on the phone less,

2094
01:41:55,720 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 1: we text more and finally YouTube introducing pause as so,

2095
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 1: if you're on YouTube on your TV, you pause the

2096
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 1: video and you see an AD. Yes, that is the

2097
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:08,559
Speaker 1: new trend. We've seen all of these services do it.

2098
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 1: YouTube is the new one. It squeezes more money out

2099
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 1: of us because we're pausing. Why not just have an

2100
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,360
Speaker 1: AD on the screen while we're pausing. There's typically a

2101
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 1: little ad on the right. The video kind of goes

2102
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 1: to the left. You see an AD on the right

2103
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 1: with a QR code that you can scan for more information.

2104
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 1: That was spotted by our pal Bensheon of nine to

2105
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:31,680
Speaker 1: five Google. So when you pause, pretty much when you

2106
01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:33,759
Speaker 1: pause any of these services, now you're gonna see ads.

2107
01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 1: Now time for the feedbag. This is where your feedback

2108
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 1: meets the mailbag. These are the emails the comments of

Speaker 3: Thank you.

2126
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:38,760
Speaker 1: Cynthia writes in thank you, Rich, I appreciate you're doing

2127
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: what Apples should be doing.

2128
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:41,280
Speaker 3: First customers take care.

2129
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:43,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's funny you say that, because Apple's gonna one

2130
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 1: up me very soon on the new iOS eighteen. On

2131
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 1: the iPhone, you can now ask for help with your iPhone.

2132
01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 1: It's got all of the support documents built into Siri now,

2133
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:55,960
Speaker 1: so you can say, hey, how do I turn off

2134
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: that feature on my text messages, or how do I

2135
01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 1: change the ringer, or how do I do that? And

2136
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: we'll give you all those step by step instructions without

2137
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 1: you having to look it up, so I may be

2138
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 1: going by the wayside.

2139
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:06,960
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so.

2140
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: I think there will always be a place for a

2141
01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:12,760
Speaker 1: live human that can take all this information and help

2142
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:16,360
Speaker 1: you understand it and really serve as an editor as well,

2143
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:19,799
Speaker 1: because there is so much stuff that crosses the wires,

2144
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:21,760
Speaker 1: so to say, on a daily basis, it's like, how

2145
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,599
Speaker 1: do you know what to trust, what to think about,

2146
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 1: what to care about? That's really my job. Bill r

2147
01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 1: writes in, I especially appreciate your newsletter because I'm over

2148
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,800
Speaker 1: seventy and you keep the info at my level of understanding.

2149
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 3: That's my goal.

2150
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:42,000
Speaker 1: My goal is always to keep things simple because again, yeah,

2151
01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 1: you can look up articles on the web until your

2152
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: eyes bleed out of your head, but unless you have

2153
01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 1: someone explaining, like what is that?

2154
01:44:47,920 --> 01:44:48,639
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

2155
01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:49,840
Speaker 5: It's it.

2156
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:50,800

Speaker 1: Nurse Loose Cindy writes in, you have good information, good

2158
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:57,120
Speaker 1: and useful information for us non tech people.

2159
01:44:57,760 --> 01:44:59,320
Speaker 3: That is the whole goal of this show.

2160
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, when I started this show, things were a

2161
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:05,479
Speaker 1: little different because I wanted to make it approachable by

2162
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 1: everyone and not just techies. That's the secret of this show.

2163
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 1: It's not just for techies. You can listen and pick

2164
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 1: up a few things. You may not understand everything I'm

2165
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 1: referencing or talking about, but you can still benefit from

2166
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: the stuff that I talk about because I try to

2167
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 1: make it understandable for everyone. And finally, no name, but
