1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: The app that invests in the companies that you do

2
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: business with. Last Pass makes some big changes and not

3
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna like them. New Samsung features come to last

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: year's phones. Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on?

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: you should know about. It's also the place where I

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: answer the questions you send me. My name is Rich Dmiro,

9
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Hope

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: you are having a wonderful, wonderful day. I know, I

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 1: know not the best of circumstances in our world right

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: now with this whole pandemic, but you know, people are

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: getting vaccinated and the numbers are coming down, which is nice.

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: It feels good. It feels like we're getting to a

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: place where there is some light at the end of

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: the tunnel, and I am excited for that. So thanks

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: for doing your part. Ten years at KTLA, That's what

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm celebrating this week. Ten years at KTLA. I can't

19
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: believe it. I truly cannot believe that I have been

20
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: at this TV station for ten years. So just to

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: give you some perspective, when I joined KTLA, I had

22
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: no kids, now I have two. Probably had a lot

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: less wrinkles. Let's see what else. Oh, gosh, it probably

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: went through two different cars, three different cars, perhaps, God.

25
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: I mean just so many things. I mean, so much

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: has changed in ten years. But I will say one

27
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: thing is, oh, two different studios, I mean, you know,

28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: different producers. I mean, it's really been interesting because when

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: you're doing something for that long, it doesn't feel like

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: that long. Like I can remember the day that I

31
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: walked into KTLA, literally can remember the day. I could

32
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: remember my first story. I could remember my first interactions

33
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: with people I'll never forget. I wrote down everyone's name

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: that I met in in an ever not note so

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: that I could like go back and memorize names of

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: all the producers and all these people. And so I

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: wonder if I could find that note because I had

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: everyone's name, because I wanted to like make sure that

39
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: I was doing the right thing. This was a big

40
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: jump for me. And one thing that has not changed

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: is really, you know, just well, I guess it has.

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: I guess it's evolved the way that I do things,

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: the way that I do my stories. I mean, I

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't really know what I was doing

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: when I came into there. You know, I knew that

46
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: I wanted to do tech, but I wasn't sure. And

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: now I think the biggest change is that I am

48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: so honed in on my stories and what I think

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: a story on TV should be and who I think

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: it should be for. And a lot of it comes

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: down to just helping people like this podcast. Like I

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: take for granted that I cover tech news twenty four

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: to seven. It's all I think about. It's all on

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, saturated with every day, day in, day out.

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: And then I talk to a regular person and I

56
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: realize that the stuff that I am just immersed with,

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: they have no clue, and it's like wow. So this

58
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: is why people like to watch the segment, because I

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: am sitting here taking all this information in about the

60
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: tech world and distilling it into something that you need

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: to know about. And that's for me too. I mean

62
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 1: I do the same thing with people that I read

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: and people that I look up to that you know,

64
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: do nutrition or you know, like I've talked about this

65
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: guy that I follow on YouTube, flave City, and he's

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: the guy that I look to to find things in

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: target that are good and healthy for you when you shop.

68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know about that stuff, but he does

69
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: because he's sitting there taking the time to go through

70
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: it all. And so again it's like this circle that

71
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, I cover this stuff and keep track of

72
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: it so that you don't have to. And if you're

73
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: a tech enthusiast, of course you're a little bit more involved.

74
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: But most of the people that are watching on KTLA

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: and our other partner stations are just I call them

76
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: drive by techies. They're just watching the news and all

77
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, my segment comes on and I explain,

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, the new Clubhouse app and they're like, oh, interesting,

79
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: I haven't heard of that before. But then all of

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: a sudden they're at a you know, a little get

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: together with their with their niece or nephew or whatever,

82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: and someone's like, oh, I'm using Clubhouse, and like, I

83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: know what that is. I heard it on the news

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: and that's what it's all about. So thank you for

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: ten great years. It's it's been awesome. I'm not going

86
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: anywhere anytime soon, so I'll be here for another couple

87
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: of years, you know. I mean, it's just continues on

88
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: and I will continue to grow the product, grow what

89
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: I do, and just continue to reach people in new ways.

90
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: So thank you for being a part of it. All. Right,

91
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: let's get started with the first story of the week.

92
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: This is always interesting to me, so Samsung. Not a

93
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: huge story, but Samsung this week announced that the features

94
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: from the Galaxy twenty one are coming to the Galaxy

95
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: S twenty and not every feature, but a lot of them.

96
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: And what I think is funny about this is that

97
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: they don't really say this information at the beginning when

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: they're selling the S twenty one because they don't want

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: to give you that information. They want you to wonder, hmmm,

100
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: is this new object eraser coming to other phones? I

101
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess I'll just have to buy the

102
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: new one. And so it's like clockwork that we see

103
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: as soon as the initial marketing push is over, and

104
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: it's been about four weeks for the Samsung Galaxy S

105
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: twenty one series, now they're like, oh, oh, by the way,

106
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: if you didn't buy one, we're just gonna give you

107
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: some of those features and some of the features coming

108
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: to the Let's see, it's the S twenty, S twenty

109
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: plus S twenty Ultra S twenty FE which was a

110
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: huge seller last year, Galaxy Note twenty series and the

111
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Galaxy Z foll two and the Z Flip. So here's

112
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: the update which is rolling out right now. It's called

113
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: one UI three point one. You'll get an improved single take.

114
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fan of the single take feature.

115
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: I think it takes a lot of unnecessary pictures. But

116
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: I could see how it could be useful in certain circumstances,

117
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: like if your kid is jumping off, like, you know,

118
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: a rock into the water or something, which why would

119
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: your kid be doing that, you know, like they'd probably

120
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: be a teenager. Actually, I don't want anyone jumping off

121
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: any rocks anytime. I see that. And I grew up

122
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: going to lakes. Believe me, I've seen plenty of people

123
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: jump off rocks into the lake. I just wasn't one

124
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: of them. I'm just too like, I can't do it,

125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's just not my thing. So bad example,

126
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: But let's say they're blowing out birthday cake candles, then

127
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: this is where you'd want the single take because with

128
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: one shutter hit or you know, click of the shutter,

129
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: it will take some pictures. It will take some videos,

130
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: it will take some white angles, black and white color whatever,

131
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: and so you get all these variety of pictures with

132
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: a variety of lenses all at once, and it's cool.

133
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: But I find that you just get a lot of

134
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: stuff that you don't really need. But there are definitely

135
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: some circumstances where that would be cool. Object Eraser, which

136
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: I think is just amazing. If you haven't watched my

137
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: YouTube video on it, please go to YouTube and search

138
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: rich on Tech object Eraser Samsung. It's so cool. You

139
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: take a picture, you go to object Eraser, you tap

140
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: the thing you don't want in the picture, and it

141
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: removes it pretty amazingly and effortlessly improved touch auto focus

142
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: and auto exposure controller. I wasn't really aware of that one,

143
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: but it's there. And then multi mic recording, which in

144
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: pro video mode you can record audio through your phone

145
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: and a connected Bluetooth device, so that's really cool. I

146
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Comfort Shield, which is with blue light. And then Private Share,

147
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: which I think is a very very great feature. So

148
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: when you're sharing a photo from the gallery, you know

149
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: this is from the native gallery, not like Google Photos.

150
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: But if you share a photo, it will say there

151
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: will be an option to include the location. And I

152
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: think that's really smart because, you know, especially if you're

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: just sending a picture to you know, Craigslist or something

154
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: or I don't know, whatever people do with pictures, you

155
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: don't always want your private information in there because it

156
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: shows exactly where you took that picture. So those are

157
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: the features from the S twenty one coming to the

158
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: S twenty So if you have one of those phones,

159
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: definitely check for an update. Those are rolling out right now.

160
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the first question of the day. Hey, rich, First,

161
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: thank you for all your help to all of us.

162
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: I've been shopping for a computer for my mom. She

163
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: just needs it for email, web search, and YouTube. Do

164
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: you think this is legitimate? See the link? Have you

165
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: heard of these guys? Seems too good to be true?

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: What do you think? Thank you? Michael and Michael sent

167
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: this long link from a thing called I'm not you

168
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: know what. Maybe I won't say the name of the company,

169
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: but it's just some random thing that I've never heard of.

170
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: The domain endzine dot top and you click it and

171
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: let's see redirecting you to a MacBook Pro website I've

172
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: never seen before. One hundred and forty nine ninety five

173
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: for an Apple sixteen inch MacBook Pro with touchbar, ninth Gen,

174
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: eighth core, Intel two point four gigaherts, sixty four gigs

175
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: of RAM. Oh my god, this thing is maxed out

176
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: four terabytes SSD drive for one hundred and fifty bucks. Now,

177
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: if you got this computer on Apple dot com, it

178
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: would be about four thousand dollars, and this is one

179
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine ninety five. Let's see add to

180
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: Karte and let's check out, and let's see what the

181
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,320

188
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: even understand what the scam is here. I mean, you're

189
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: just basically getting scammed as soon as you check out here,

190
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: You're not getting a four thousand dollars computer for one

191
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine ninety five. There's just no way.

192
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: So I get it, and I think, you know, let's

193
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: see what was it, Brian Michael. I think Michael was

194
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: pretty smart in having his spidey sense saying something doesn't

195
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: seem right here. So this is just totally now Here's

196
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: how we figure out if this store is legit. Okay,

197
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Number one. You go to the page that this MacBook

198
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: is on, okay, and I'm looking for anything. If you

199
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: scroll down, I mean, it's got a screenshot of the

200
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: Apple website as the description. Then it's got random pictures

201
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: of this computer that seem like they're from random people.

202
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: You scroll all the way down to the bottom of

203
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: the website and there's literally nothing, no contact information, no nothing.

204
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: If you go to about us, congrats you found a

205
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: place with the coolest items. We have spent years searching

206
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: for creative, smart, and useful products around the world. No

207
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: contact information, no social media information, know nothing. This is

208
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: a totally bogus website that if you try to purchase

209
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: this MacBook from Number one, your credit card is probably

210
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: off to some marketplace that people will be purchasing your

211
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: number in seconds and you will never see this computer.

212
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: So Michael, good job. If it seems too good to

213
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: be true. It is. I see this stuff all the time.

214
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: In fact, whenever I do a story on a product,

215
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: people send me screenshots of those products and they say,

216
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: is this a good place to buy it? I found

217
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: it cheaper? No, it is not. If you're not buying

218
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: from Amazon, best Buy, you know these main retailers that

219
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: you've heard of, it's probably not a good idea, especially

220
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: if the price is too good to be true. I'm

221
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: not saying you can't buy from a mom and pop,

222
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: but you have to make sure it's legitimate. Look for

223
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: the contact information, look for the return policy, look for

224
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: a physical address, look for you know, social media links

225
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: to their Instagram and Twitter. If they don't have any

226
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: of that stuff, stay away, all right. Good? First question,

227
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: by the way, Michael, I would recommend a chromebook for

228
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: your mom because if she is just doing email, web search,

229
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: and YouTube, why does she need more than a chromebook.

230
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: So I would specifically recommend the new Samsung Chromebook because

231
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: they are coming out with a brand new chromebook. I

232
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: think it's the Chromek Samsung Chromebook two. Let me see

233
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: computing and sal a Galaxy Chromebook two. It's five hundred

234
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: and fifty bucks and it's a great chromebook. It's got

235
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: all day battery life. You know, it's light, it's thin.

236
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this might be too much for mom, but

237
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: it's just a really nice, brand new chromebook that I

238
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: think Mom would like. And it's you know, the good

239
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: news about this with Mom is that you don't have

240
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: to worry about any sort of Oh it also folds

241
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: back as a tablet. That's even better. Yeah, five hundred

242
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: and forty nine dollars Intel Celeron with US sixty four

243
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: gigs of RAM and or sixty four gigs of storage

244
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: and four giga by RAM. So you can get it

245
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: in Fiesta red or Mercury gray. And you could even

246
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: trade in a phone or an old tablet. So if

247
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: you have an old tablet that you can trade in,

248
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: let's say you have an old iPad, let's see iPad

249
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: air eighty bucks off or an older iPad one hundred

250
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: bucks off. So do that. Speaking of chromebooks, according to

251
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: geek Wire, chromebooks outsold max worldwide in twenty twenty, and

252
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: this was at the expense of Windows computers. And this

253
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense because the pandemic had everyone

254
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: rushing to get a chromebook. People as I saw. I mean,

255
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: many people are rushing to get some sort of mobile

256
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: computing device for their kids or themselves. If you work

257
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: for a company, clearly they're probably going to supply that

258
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: for you. But there's a lot of other people out there,

259
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: and especially kids, and chromebooks really were the way to

260
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: go for kids. There's a lot of very bad chromebooks

261
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: out there, and I think people experience that. But I think,

262
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: like I said, with this Samsung Chromebook, pay a little

263
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: extra and get a better, proper chromebook. Don't don't spend

264
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty bucks in a chromebook. It's going

265
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: to be horrible. It's gonna last you less than a year,

266
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: and do the math. Spend a little bit more and

267
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: get something that's gonna last you a couple of years,

268
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: and that's going to not make you want to pull

269
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: your hair out because it's so slow and so terrible.

270
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: So let's see, Windows was down year over year five

271
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: points from eighty five percent to eighty percent in twenty

272
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: twenty market share. So Windows, when you think Windows, oh

273
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: so sad Microsoft nobody uses them anymore? Not true. Lots

274
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: of people use Windows. Chrome up four point four percent,

275
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: Chrome OS four point four points rather so six percent

276
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: market share to eleven percent market share in twenty twenty.

277
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: So when you think about Chrome Os, wow, it has

278
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: a ways to go. And you look at mac Os

279
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: up less than a point from six point seven percent

280
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: market share in twenty nineteen to seven point five percent.

281
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: So right now we've got Windows at eighty percent, chro

282
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: Home at eleven percent, or let's round these up. Windows

283
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: at eighty one percent, Chrome at eleven percent, and mac

284
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: Os at eight percent. This is according to IDC. And

285
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: so when you think about it now, I live in

286
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, a very very MacBook centric town. You go

287
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: to any meeting, what are people clickity clocking on the MacBooks?

288
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: But they're only seven eight percent of the share, Chrome

289
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: books eleven percent, Windows eighty one percent. So still Windows

290
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: has the lion's share. And it just depends what you need,

291
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: you know. For me, I use Mac because I like

292
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: to edit and the programs I use are on here

293
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: and Windows is fine. I think it's I think what

294
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: Windows is doing is really good, especially with the touch screens.

295
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: I think that's amazing. When I use my MacBook, it's

296
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: and my kid, one of my kids has a Windows computer.

297
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: One has a MacBook and one with the windows, with

298
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: the you know, the ability to touch the screen is

299
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: just amazing, whereas the one that doesn't. He is always

300
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: trying to touch the screen, and there's so many times

301
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: when that would come in hand and we just don't

302
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: have it. So I think that touch screen is definitely

303
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: a feature that Apple needs to integrate into their laptops.

304
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna happen because they've got

305
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: the iPad thing going on, but it definitely, it definitely

306
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: helps in many many circumstances. All right, let's see here

307
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: we have got let's see Sherry, Hey, Rich, I received

308
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: two voicemails today and an email telling me not to

309
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: use my Apple device until I contact Apple. Is this

310
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: some kind of a hoax? Stay thank you and stay safe, Sherry. Sherry,

311
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: You're right, it is some kind of hoax. And I

312
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: see this stuff all the time, and it's so exhausting

313
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: because these scammers are just never ending. And good example,

314
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: I put on my Facebook page Facebook dot com slash

315
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Rich on tech I had another woman email me saying, hey, Rich,

316
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: is this jit? I don't think it is, but just

317
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: tell me if you think it is. And it was

318
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: a screenshot of you know, an Apple case ID. Hello.

319
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: Due to a problem with the payment method, we couldn't

320
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: charge your account for your case and this, you know,

321
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: goes on with this long case number that you know

322
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: they just made up. If you don't update your information

323
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: in twenty four hours, your Apple idea will be permanently locked.

324
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. To unlock Apple ID, please visit this

325
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: link to log in with your Apple ID and update

326
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: your billing information, and it gives you an Apple Apple

327
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: dot com slash update slash billing which I asked the

328
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: person who originally sent this to me to send me

329
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: the actual screen, you know, the email, so I can

330
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: click the link. And I don't recommend that you click links,

331
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: but if you're going to click links to see what

332
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: they're all about, what you do on the iPhone is

333
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: you press and hold the link. You don't actually tap it.

334
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: If you press and hold, it will bring up a

335
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: preview of that link, and then on that preview you

336
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: can see in the upper left hand corner what the

337
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: actual link is. Because just because a link says appleid

338
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: dot com, that doesn't actually mean it brings you to

339
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: appleid dot com. What they do is they use that

340
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: as the URL, and then they hide the actual link

341
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: under that URL, and so when you click it, it's

342
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: a totally different link, and it's usually bogus. And so

343
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: in this case, the actual link when I pressed and

344
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: held it to see the preview, is an ninety one

345
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: dash S eight F four U five three sp dot

346
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: uc dns dot org. That does not sound like an

347
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: Apple website to me. And Apple is not sending these

348
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: urgent emails to you. Oh my gosh, you need to

349
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: update your your credit card information where we freeze your

350
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: account forever. No, they don't do that. I mean, all

351
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: I know is I get no emails from Apple. I

352
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: just get my credit card and actually, okay, so here's

353
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: what was happening, truthfully, is that I, you know, I

354
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: have all these little things that get purchased on my

355
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: Apple ID, and it goes to an old email address.

356
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: I can't seem to change my Apple ID to like

357
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: my current emails, so I have to use this old

358
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: email address I never use, which I guess in some

359
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: ways is more secure. But I really was trying to

360
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: figure out, like I get these charges on my credit

361
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: card or debit card for nine ninety nine two ninety nine,

362
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: a dollar ninety nine, two ninety nine, a dollar ninety nine.

363
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: It just keeps going, and I'm like, what are these

364
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: charges for? Like, shouldn't Apple send an email to me

365
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: letting me know what these charges are? Sure enough, they do,

366
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: but they were all going to spam in my old

367
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: email address. So I created a filter on that old

368
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: email to make them not go to spam and also

369
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: forward to my current email address. And so now I'm

370
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: getting all these emails from Apple and yeah, they just

371
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: charge you. And you know they're not going to send

372
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: you an email that says your account's going to be

373
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: permanently disabled. I mean, that just doesn't happen. They're not

374
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: going to call you to tell you anything. That's just

375
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: not how these tech companies operate. So if these things

376
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: happen to you, and if you're listening to this podcast,

377
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: you're a little bit ahead of the curve. So this

378
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff you need to tell your

379
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: family members and just make sure they're aware. Because I

380
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: had this thing where my mom sent me a message

381
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: on LinkedIn and it said, hey, Rich, just saying hi,

382
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, what, my mom is not on LinkedIn?

383
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: So I text her and I because I was like, oh,

384
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: she must have gotten hacked. I text her, I said, Mom,

385
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: did you text me through LinkedIn? Like did you send

386
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: me a message? Because yeah, I just found my password,

387
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: so I figured I just send you a message and

388
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, okay. But the good news is that

389
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: I actually did not sort of interact with her or

390
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: do anything or you know, I wanted to warn her, like, hey,

391
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: you got hacked, but I wanted to make sure so

392
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: when in doubt, do a little research, check things out

393
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, find the source before you just

394
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: hand over your information. Because these people are are really

395
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: really just ugh, they just they never never end, all right.

396
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: Last Pass is speaking of passwords. Last Pass is a

397
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: free or was a good free option for password saving,

398
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: and now it is no longer because there basically is

399
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: still a free option, but it's it's kind of worthless

400
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: for the average person. And I say this because last

401
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: Pass is now changing the way they do business for

402
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: their free users, and it's kind of sad because so

403
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: many people probably chose Last Pass because of this free

404
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: option that is now going away. And yes, you can

405
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: still get a free option from last Pass, but it

406
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: is so so cobbled that you're not going to want

407
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: to use it because it just doesn't. You'd be better

408
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: off paying for a service that actually works than this. Okay,

409
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: so this is their blog post saying each week millions

410
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: of last Pass users add millions of passwords and blah

411
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: blah blah blah for more than twenty million users. They

412
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 1: have twenty million users, and they have a free offering.

413
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: But they're making some changes. And here's the free offering change.

414
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: In a nutshell. You now have to choose what types

415
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: of devices you want to access your free passwords on.

416
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: You can only choose one. You can choose either computers

417
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: or mobile devices, but not both at the same time.

418
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: So why is that a problem? Let me give you

419
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: a scenario you have. You've got a computer and a

420
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: smartphone and they both have last Pass installed in them,

421
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: the free last Pass. Now, all of a sudden, you

422
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: only get that option on one. So you go on

423
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: your mobile device, you choose that and you make a

424
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: new password, and of course, because you're using last Pass,

425
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: you're making a really strong password for this new website

426
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: that you're signing up for. Well, now you want to

427
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: log into that website on your desktop computer well, guess what.

428
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: You can't just go to last Pass and have it

429
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: automatically fill that password in on your browser, nor can

430
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: you copy and paste. You have to go to your

431
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: phone look at that password, and you know, bring it

432
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: and type it in on your computer and it's going

433
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: to be twenty seven characters long and it's going to

434
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: be a pain. So now you're just frustrated and you say, oh,

435
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: I'll just break down and purchase last Pass premium, which

436
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: is what they're trying to make you do. Now, if

437
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: you have a Mac computer and an iPhone, yes you

438
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: can say, rich, can't you just copy the password on

439
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: your iPhone and use handoff to paste it onto your MacBook?

440
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: Yes you can, which would work. But if you're using

441
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: both of those services, then you know you can use

442
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: my next solution, which is just to use iCloud Keychain,

443
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: which is built in It's a it's a password manager

444
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: that's built into the iOS and well the Apple ecosystem,

445
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: and if you have all Apple products, that's what I

446
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: recommend you use because it's free. I mean, you're already

447
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: paying the price by being in the app Apple ecosystem,

448
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: which is not a cheap thing to be in so

449
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: you might as well use it, and it's great. It's

450
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: integrated into Safari. Now you're not going to get the

451
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: robust features that a independent third party password management software

452
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: will give you. But if you're just on Apple and

453
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: you want a free solution, it works great. And yes,

454
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: it works very nicely. So Last Past changing the way

455
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: they do it. You got to choose one or the other.

456
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: You can see and you know, use your passwords on

457
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: mobile devices or computers as of March sixteenth, So this

458
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: is gonna have a lot of people either upgrading, you know,

459
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: and paying for the premium, which is not that expensive.

460
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: It's it's if you build annually. It's two twenty five

461
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: a month. Twenty five times twelve is twenty seven dollars

462
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: for the year. No big deal, but it's more of

463
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: a it's more of like a kick in the shin. Right,

464
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: you signed up for this thing because it was free,

465
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: and they kind of got rid of that trust because

466
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: now it's like, I mean, there's still trustworthy business and

467
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: I still think last Pass is good. And it's yes

468
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: to twenty seven dollars a year. It's fine. I pay

469
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: for password software and it's you know, it's fine. I've

470
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: been paying for it for a long time and it's

471
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: great and I get my use out of it. But

472
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I think a lot of people

473
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: signed up for this because they didn't have to pay.

474
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: And this is why when people always ask me, hey, Rich,

475
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: what do you recommend for password software? I would always

476
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: give them a couple options because I want them to

477
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: choose the best option for them. So in general, what

478
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: I would tell people is, and if you've listened to

479
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: this podcast, you've heard this, I say, a lot of

480
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: people like last Pass because it's free or they have

481
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: a free option. A lot of people like dash Lane,

482
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people like one password. And now the

483
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: new one that a lot of people are using, and

484
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: I might actually do a story with them, is called bitwarden.

485
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: And this one is an open source password manager. And

486
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: of course I think they still have plans and pricing.

487
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: So free is personal plans, free is zero, So I

488
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: mean you can get that for zero and that includes

489
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: two people. That's pretty good. Actually, oh that's business plans. Sorry,

490
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: personal plans free. Okay, it's free, all right, So that's

491
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: probably where you want to go. Now, let's see hold on, Yeah,

492
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: Bitwarden is free across all devices, So there you go.

493
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: If you're looking to switch now, I have switched these

494
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: in the past and it will hold on. I'm going

495
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: through these. Yeah, we need to do a story on

496
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: bitwarden because this is pretty good. So max users for

497
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: free is one access to the apps, item storage, unlimited

498
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: sync across all your devices is. Yes, you cannot share things,

499
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: so you have to have a family account for that

500
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: secure password generator. You can't attach a gig of files

501
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: that you have to pay for encrypted export so you

502
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: can do that. So what I was saying is these

503
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: password management programs usually have an export feature where you

504
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: can export and then import your password to another one.

505
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: So if you're thinking of leaving last pass, I would

506
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: take a good look at bitwarden. I have not used

507
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: it personally, but it looks pretty strong and I like

508
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: that it's open source, two step log in. It supports that.

509
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't support let's see. Yeah, so I think

510
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: Bitwarden sounds pretty good. Otherwise, it's ten dollars a year

511
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: for the premium and forty dollars a year for the family,

512
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: So I think this sounds like a great alternative. I've

513
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: gotten so many people on Twitter to tell me that

514
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: they're using Bitwarden. And by the way, you know, I

515
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: struggle with this privacy stuff. I don't think it's a

516
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: great idea to advertise which password manager you're using. Now,

517
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: I get it, you're you're not you know on TV.

518
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: You're not a major, you know, celebrity or someone that

519
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: you know whatever. My point is, I think that it's

520
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: fine to telp your friends and family, but I wouldn't

521
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: post it on social media because why give the bad

522
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: guys one extra step to figuring out where to target you? Right,

523
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: So that's my advice. And you know you're you're listening

524
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: to the rich On Tech show, so that means it's

525
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: my advice on this show. I'm just telling you what

526
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: I think, and that's what I think. So there you

527
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: have it, Sandy says Hi. I used to watch you

528
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: all the time. Unfortunately we moved to Bakersfield. I stream occasionally.

529
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: What website do you recommend to find the cheapest flight?

530
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: Also our Tuesday's cheaper round trip. I need to fly

531
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: from lax to Dallas Fort Worth tomorrow. Any suggestions, Sandy? Well, Sandy,

532
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 1: this is a great question, and you know I use

533
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: to fly a lot. I haven't. I've only flown once

534
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: in the last year, which is just wild to me.

535
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get back up there. But I

536
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: only use one website, and that one website is Google Flights,

537
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: and that's flights dot Google dot com. I don't think

538
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: you need another website to search for flights. And the

539
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: reason I think that is because Google is the best

540
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to finding the cheapest flights, the way

541
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: you can slice and dice flights, even just popping in

542
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: a place and searching and finding suggestions on where to

543
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: go that are cheap. So right now, if I look

544
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles and I want to let's I just

545
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: want to do a one way ticket somewhere, you know,

546
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: in the next six months. Let's just say in March,

547
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: I can now look at an entire map of the US,

548
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: and let's say I want to go NonStop. I only

549
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: want to go NonStop. This map continues to change with

550
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: all of the information that I'm putting in. Let's say

551
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: I just want to look at skiing. Now it changes

552
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: to skiing, and I see that I can go to

553
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: Aspen for three hundred and thirty five dollars. On Wednesday,

554
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: March seventeenth, or I can go to Reno on Wednesday,

555
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: March seventeenth for thirty nine dollars, or I can go

556
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: to Portland for sixty nine bucks. Let's say I don't

557
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: want skiing. Let's say I only want to fly on

558
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: a certain airline because I am with Star Alliance. Now

559
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: I can see just those flights. So I think Google

560
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: Flights is just the best. It is so amazing, it's

561
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: so easy. It's the only thing I've used to search

562
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: for flights for as long as it's been around. Now

563
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: I have actually booked a flight through Google Flights. But

564
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: most of the time it links you right to the

565
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: specific carrier, and in some ways it'll even find you

566
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: cheaper flights because they call these hacker fares, which hacker

567
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: fares are fares that maybe leave on one airline and

568
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: come back on another airline, and so that's on there.

569
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is good. So check out Google Flights,

570
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: and to answer your question, I probably missed your flight

571
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: that you needed, but you know this is what I

572
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: look at, and you can save your trips, you can

573
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: watch trips, you can. I mean, it's just so full

574
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: featured that I love it. I just and you wonder

575
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: where is Google get this information? Many years ago, they

576
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: bought a site or I don't know, it was a

577
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: company called I think it was called it Google Ita

578
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: or is it x I think it was Google Ita

579
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: Ita software Matrix by Google. So Matrix is from ITA

580
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: and they bought this a long time ago and it's

581
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: basically the software that all the travel agents used to use,

582
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: and now Google has it. And of course the best

583
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: thing about Google is that the the information around the

584
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: flights is not just one thing. They're using so many

585
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: signals to help you figure out these flights that I

586
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: just think it's brilliant. And I know I love Google,

587
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: but this is just one of those examples of how

588
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: big data just really wins for the consumer when it

589
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: comes to booking these things. And yeah, there's some ads

590
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: and stuff, but the way that you can slice and

591
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: dice the fly data is just so amazing to me.

592
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't you know, Kayak does a good job too,

593
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: But I think there's a lot of there's a lot

594
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: of like noise on these other websites, and I think

595
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: that Google Flights is just kind of the cleanest and

596
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: the easiest for me to understand. So that's the only

597
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: one that I look at. And my personal favorite feature

598
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: is if you are flexible with your flights, look at

599
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: the calendar view. So if I type in the flight

600
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: that I always do, which is LAX to EWR, and

601
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: then I put round trip one person, first class, of course,

602
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: just kidding, I wish, but you know, you can put

603
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: in economy, premium, economy, business, or first and then you

604
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: just click instead of choosing a date, you just click

605
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: and wait a second, and the calendar populates with green

606
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: numbers showing the cheapest days to fly. And if you

607
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: just pick those two days, so if I want to

608
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: fly there right now, I would go, Okay, March first

609
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: is out. Second, Okay, I gotta go to March ninth,

610
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: which is ninety five dollars. Oh ooh, March tenth was

611
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: even cheaper, So I'm gonna reset the calendar. Let's go

612
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: to March tenth. And then I wait a second on

613
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: the calendar and I wait for the return dates to

614
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: light up green, and the cheapest return date is the fourteenth,

615
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: and I can go round trip for seventy nine dollars.

616
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, seventy nine dollars for round trip to

617
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: Newark Okay, Now this is on Spirit Airlines with one

618
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: stop in Florida. I am not gonna do that, so

619
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change it to NonStop, which is again. And

620
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: now I can go back to my calendar and check

621
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: for the cheapest dates. Press reset one more time, and

622
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at all the dates and the cheapest is

623
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: one ninety seven. And if I go on March fourth

624
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: to March seventh, eighth, I can go for the whole

625
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: week if I want fifth through seventh, and there we

626
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: go one hundred ninety seven bucks round trip. So that

627
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: is how I search for flights, and you gotta be

628
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: a little flexible to get those cheapest dates. But I

629
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: just love how they show you all this information, So

630
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: check it out. That's the way I do it, and

631
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: I hope you love it. All right, what should we

632
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: talk about next? All right? I talked about this a

633
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 1: little bit last week. I'm not going to spend too

634
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: much time, but I got a question about do you

635
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: install antivirus software on your iPhone? And on this podcast

636
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: for many years, I've been saying no, no, no, you

637
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: don't need it, and I got to thinking, oh gosh,

638
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: what if I'm giving people the wrong information all this time, right, Like,

639
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: what if I'm totally wrong about this? So what I did?

640
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: I went to a cybersecurity expert, Kevin Tatavosian. He runs

641
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: a company called cyber Duo here in Los Angeles, and

642
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: I said, Kevin, what is the deal with antivirus software

643
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: on your iPhone? And my heart was like a little

644
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: bit shaky because I was like, oh my gosh, what's

645
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: his answer going to be? Have I been giving out

646
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: the wrong advice all the time? And he said, after

647
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of like one little breath, he said,

648
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: you don't really need it, and here's why. And I said, oh, okay,

649
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: I've been giving people the right information. Here's why, and

650
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: it's exactactly what I have been saying. He said. His

651
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: term was that apps on the iPhone live in separate containers,

652
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: which makes them secure. The way I've been explaining it

653
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: is that each app is sort of sandbox. And if

654
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: you think about a sandbox, think about a sandbox with

655
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: really high sides. The sand isn't going anywhere. You can

656
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: plain that sandbox as much as you want throw the

657
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: sand around, but as long as those sides are high,

658
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get the sand outside that box. And

659
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: this is the way you can think of of iPhone apps.

660
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: They are sandbox, which means they've got really high sides,

661
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: which even if they're getting all wild and crazy inside

662
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: that sandbox, they're not going to affect other apps because

663
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: the way iOS is is engineered, it's everything is sandboxed

664
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: on its own, so one app can't reach out of

665
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: that sandbox and grab onto another app the way it

666
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: can on a Windows machine or even a Mac computer.

667
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: And so that's why I've said, you don't really need

668
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: this stuff on your phone, and you especially don't need

669
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: to pay for it. So that's that. Now. The other

670
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: thing you did say is on Android, and I've been

671
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: saying on Android, I was a little bit waffly. I

672
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: don't really think you need it, but there's definitely more

673
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: potential for apps to interact with each other on Android,

674
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: and that's what he agreed with. So on Android, I

675
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: probably would recommend if you are, you know, someone who

676
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: may click a link that's bad, or someone who may

677
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: be downloading stuff that's bad. Not bad, I mean, like mau,

678
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: you know it could be potentially bad, like you just

679
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: don't know, like if you're setting up your phone for

680
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: a family member that is less than tech inclient, you

681
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: might want to put antivirus on there because it might

682
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: click a link in one of these text messages that

683
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: is less than smart to click. And so there's a

684
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: website called what is it called avtest dot dot org

685
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: that kind of ranks all of these antivirus software for

686
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: both the laptop and the or you know, desktops and laptops.

687
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: And why is it coming up in German? Weird? Okay,

688
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: let me get that English. So anyway, they I recommend

689
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: a VAST and AVEG, which I would concur with. I've

690
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: heard good things about them. I did install them on

691
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: my Android phone. The only thing I don't like about

692
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: them is I don't know if this is an Android thing,

693
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: but they have to have a persistent notification to work

694
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: all the time, and I hate that. I hate persistent

695
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: notifications on my Androids. And what that means is it's

696
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: a notification that never goes away. It just stays there forever,

697
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: and it's like a vast is running and protecting you.

698
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, I get it. Can I just

699
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: get rid of that? I don't want you there. But

700
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: I think because of the way this operating system is engineered.

701
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 1: They have to have that notification so that it can

702
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: run all the time and basically take over in a

703
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: heartbeat if you click a link that it needs to scan.

704
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: So I think that's why. But there's other antivirus apps

705
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: out there. You can check the av testavdash test dot

706
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: org if you want to see what's good for you.

707
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: And I think my Windows computer, you know, my advice

708
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: for that stands as well, which is, you know, if

709
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: you have a Windows computer, just update your software. They've

710
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: got Windows Defender built in, so you know, use that.

711
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: And uh they recommend this website called on Lab a

712
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: h N lab. I've never heard of that, but that's

713
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: what they recommend. And then a VAST and AVG so

714
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 1: I would go with one of those. They actually rank okay,

715
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: so they rank Microsoft Defender way down. They rank it. Yeah,

716
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: it's like tenth on the list. So maybe you want

717
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: to put, you know, one of these other ones on

718
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: your Windows computer. They're free, so you know, it should

719
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: it should help. But anyway, that that's the advice on

720
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: the the iPhone antivirus. Don't worry about it an iPhone

721
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: if you have an Android probably and if you have

722
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: a Windows computer, you might want to look into it.

723
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: And if you have a Mac, I don't really think

724
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: you need it on the Mac just yet, but that

725
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: could change as max continue to get more popular. All right,

726
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: Raymond sent a very cryptic email. All it said was

727
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: how to save data and numbers. That's it, And I'm

728
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: guessing he means he's switching to a new phone. Oh oh,

729
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: his subject line did say upgrade phone. Okay, so upgrade phone,

730
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: how to change, how to save data and numbers. So

731
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: I get it. You're switching phones. You want to save

732
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: and it says sent from Inxfinity Connect application. So my advice,

733
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: if you have a phone on iPhone, you can just

734
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: back everything up to the iCloud. So if you have

735
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: an iPhone, back everything up to iCloud, you can use that.

736
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: Or if you have one of these third party apps,

737
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: like if you have like Verizon or like AT and

738
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: T and maybe T Mobile has one as well. They

739
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: have like these cloud apps that come included usually with

740
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: like a you know, the higher end subscription plans, like

741
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: an unlimited plan, and you get like a little maybe

742
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of cloud space on there, but like

743
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: there's like a Verizon backup Assistant app. Okay, so if

744
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: you yeah, how to use backup assistant, so they call

745
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: it Verizon Cloud Slash Backup Assistant. So most of them

746
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: haven't installed. If not, you can install it by you know,

747
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: searching for backup Assistant. So I wonder if they have

748
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: backup Assistant for iPhone. Let's see iPhone. I don't know

749
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: if they do. They may, it looks like it might

750
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: be just Android. But anyway, so the point is you

751
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: can you can use one of those, but I think

752
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: your best bet on iPhone is just to use iicloud.

753
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: Make sure everything's backed up into I Cloud. Doesn't cost

754
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: you much if you're just doing data in numbers. You

755
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: can also use Google. So on Android you can download

756
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: the Google one app. And so if you download Google one,

757
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: even if you're not as paying subscriber, you still get

758
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: fifteen gigs of storage for Google. And the Google one

759
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: app has really upped the anti lately because it will

760
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: it will save the things that you need, which are

761
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: your contacts and your I think it does. Let's see

762
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: what does it do? Let me see Google one. Oh

763
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: on Android or iPhone? So on iPhone it will back

764
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: up your contacts, calendar, photos, and videos. So if you

765
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: just have a couple of things, you can back up

766
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: all that stuff, which is really cool. So you have

767
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: this on iPhone and Android, and it does the same

768
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: on Android. So I would use Google One. It's an

769
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: app and Google Play and also on the App Store

770
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: for Apple and you get fifteen gigs. That's probably the

771
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: easiest because you can just back up your contacts, you

772
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: back up your calendar, back up your photos, your videos,

773
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: and boom, it's all there. It's in Google. It's safe.

774
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: And then when you get your new phone, download that

775
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: Google One app and just bring it back to you.

776
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: Now this is a little confusing because it also if

777
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: you're signed into Google, you can back up all your

778
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: contacts and stuff to Google, and of course your calendar.

779
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: But I think that this makes it a little bit

780
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: clearer that you are backed up, and I think that

781
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: that's an easy way to do it, and especially if

782
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: you're helping migrate like a friend or a family member,

783
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: that's an easy way to do it as well. So

784
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: I think people forget about these apps, but they are

785
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: out there, so just search for them. And then there's

786
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: of course third party apps, which you know you have

787
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: to be a little bit wary about those, because you know,

788
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: you are talking about your calendar and your contacts and

789
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: giving access to the items on your phone. So just

790
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: be a little bit more aware. If it's like a

791
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: random app that you're, you know, downloading to back up

792
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: your contacts, you want to use a trusted source in

793
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: that case, because these are your contacts, all right. Quick

794
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: housekeeping note, Apple TV is now Apple TV app is

795
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: now available on chrome Cast with Google TV. And when

796
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: I posted this on my Facebook page, I was like,

797
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to explain this because here,

798
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: let's let's break this down for a second. The Apple

799
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: TV app, which includes Apple Plus, is now available on

800
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: chrome Cast, but only chrome Cast with Google TV. Do

801
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: you see how many things are mixed in there. It's like,

802
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, Rich, So breaking

803
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: it down, Google TV is the chrome cast that came out.

804
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: I think it's called Chrome Cast with Google TV. This

805
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: is the fifty dollars chrome cast that came out. I

806
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: think it was last year, maybe October and maybe earlier,

807
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: but I bought one immediately. It has the best way

808
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: I can describe it. It's the only chrome cast that

809
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: has a remote control, so that's the way I describe it.

810
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: If your Chrome Cast has a remote control, that's the

811
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: one that is sort of an all in one system

812
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: that I think is a great streaming device. And in fact,

813
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: this was the one app that was not available on

814
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: chrome Cast with Google TV that I wanted, and I

815
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: ended up going back to my Apple TV. But now

816
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: I may go back to this because I really like

817
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: this device for various reasons. It continues to get better.

818
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: The thing I did not like about it is that

819
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: the apps take a little bit longer to load than

820
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: I would like. It doesn't seem to be as snappy

821
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: as Apple TV for loading apps. And my wife she

822
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: noticed that too. She's like, oh, Netflix takes a long

823
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: time to load. And so you know, if you're not

824
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: getting access to those those racy scenes in Bridgerton like

825
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: right away, I mean, you know, people get a little

826
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what's going on. I need need to

827
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: get my Bridgerton fixed, right if you watch Bridgerton, which

828
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: I didn't, I'm just joking because I know that there's

829
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: a joke because it's like the racist show apparently on Netflix. Anyway.

830
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: So Apple TV app now available on Chromecast with Google

831
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: TV and The reason I say this is because it

832
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: includes Apple TV Plus. So the first thing you could

833
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: do with the Apple TV app is access all the

834
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: items that you've purchased over the years on Apple TV

835
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: or i should say on iTunes. So all the movies

836
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: that you had, like if you're building a collection, you

837
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: can now finally access them through this Apple TV app.

838
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: But more importantly I think for more people is the

839
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: Apple TV Plus of ability to you know, ability to

840
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: access those items, which those are TV shows like ted Lasso,

841
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: the morning show Greyhound, which I did watch with Tom Hanks.

842
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: It was a pretty good movie Palmer starring Justin Timberlake.

843
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: I did not watch, but I've heard it's decent, and

844
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of random stuff like for the kids

845
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: on there, like the Snoopy show, which my kid I'm

846
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: trying to get him to watch that, but they're so

847
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: obsessed with Minecraft that it's like tough to take their

848
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: eyes off anything said Minecraft. I did. I did successfully

849
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: get rid of Roadblocks, though I will tell you that

850
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: in my home Roadblocks is limited to one hour on

851
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: a Saturday night and it's worked out. It's it's amazing

852
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: these these kids, the resiliency when they don't have something,

853
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: they don't really miss it, and yeah, I get a little,

854
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, a little whining here and there. Oh, my

855
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: friends are playing roadblocks. Well yeah, and guess what. When

856
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: I talk to your friend's parents, they all say the

857
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: same thing. My kids are addicted to roadblocks and I

858
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: don't like it. And so, you know, it's this, it's

859
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: this honeymoon period with roadblocks where parents love it because oh,

860
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: my kid is so into this. Oh my gosh, it's

861
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: like I can take a little breather here for one hour,

862
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: two hours, three hour, four hours, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

863
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: unlimited hours because kids can stay on that unlimited. It's

864
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: unlike anything I've ever seen in my life, because when

865
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: I was a kid, you watched the show and you

866
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to get back outside. Yeah, we were couch

867
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: potatoes on certain occasions, but for the most part, we

868
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: were outside all the time. And I know him sounding

869
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: like old man Rich, but I am. I'm getting older

870
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: and I'm realizing that some of this stuff is not

871
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: very good for our children. Now. I'm guilty of the

872
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: fact that I don't just let my kids go outside

873
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: and play for hours without me being out there. But

874
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: they can go in the backyard and play and it's like,

875
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: come on, you'll survive. My kid the other day told

876
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: me when I said go outside, he said there was

877
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: cat poop on the lawn somewhere. And we don't have

878
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: a cat, but there's some cats that run around the

879
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: neighborhood and they leave, you know, the little surprises for

880
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: me on the lawn, which is horrendous, but it happens.

881
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: And I'm like, really, the entire backyard is ruined because

882
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 1: there's one little area where a cat went to the bathroom. Yeah,

883
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to step in it. Okay, okay, stay

884
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: away from that area because you know, Dad didn't really

885
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: feel like going to clean it up. I've had to

886
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: do that many times on our on our property. But uh,

887
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, anyway, I digress. But the point is, I

888
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: don't know what the point was. But Apple TV Plus

889
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: is now on Google TV, and yeah you can get

890
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: it and limit limit roadblocks time. That's that's my advice.

891
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: Limit the time we have they So the funny thing

892
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: is now they're playing Minecraft. They get they get I

893
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: think it's two hours of Minecraft a day, but they

894
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: found this game on Minecraft, which I think looks a

895
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: lot like roadblocks called egg Wars, and now they're just

896
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: playing nah. So it's like I give up. You know,

897
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: It's like they just they just channel their energy into

898
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: these little games, and I get it. All the kids

899
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: we played games. I used to get a Nintendo thumb

900
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: from playing RC What was it RC pro Am? Is

901
00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: that it was it RC pro Am? Yeah? RC pro Am.

902
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I'm really dating myself. Oh gosh. RC pro

903
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: Am was developed in for Nintendo in February nineteen eighty eight.

904
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,919
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, but I used to get Nintendo thumb

905
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: from playing that. In paper Boy, we used to play

906
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: that forever and all these other video games. But you know,

907
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: you had to go into the basement and you know,

908
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: you came up to go outside. That's what we did anyway.

909
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's take another question. Enough of my complaining.

910
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: Mario says, hello, oh, how appropriate. We just talked about

911
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: Nintendo And his name is Mario. Hello. My son is

912
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: fourteen years old and loves to sing and likes to

913
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: create his own sound slash music and is now combining

914
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 1: it with videos using a light motion app. I don't

915
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: know that one, and for making music he's using Soundtrap.

916
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: Can I suggest, Can you suggest what I can get

917
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: him to expand his interest looking for under three hundred dollars.

918
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 1: We don't have an Apple computer, just an HP Chromebook,

919
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: and he has an Apple phone, Mario, So Mario, my

920
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: advice is to get him an iPad. And I know, oh, Rich,

921
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: you only like Apple stuff. Oh my gosh, we stop

922
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: recommending Apple stuff. Well, I mean, look, this is the best.

923
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: You're saying you want to spend three hundred bucks. An

924
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: iPad is three hundred and thirty dollars usually on sale.

925
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: The latest generation is about three hundred and so look

926
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: around a little bit from a reputable place. Even Amazon

927
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: has it for three hundred. Generally, Google search iPad deals

928
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: and click the news and look for the bloggers blogging

929
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: about these deals because they like to blog about them

930
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: because they get a little cut of the product, and

931
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: you know the purchase price, and so you win and

932
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: they win, and we all win because they're tracking these

933
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: prices for you, and you don't have to go search

934
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: in Google for these random places. They'll they'll do the

935
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: math for you. So get them an iPad. And just

936
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: there are so many amazing apps on iPad that can

937
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: work with music and I think garage band is on

938
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: there for free, so he can start there. I've never

939
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: figured out garage band, but if but he's fourteen, so

940
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: he will and you'll find he'll find so many things.

941
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: Now he can use the microphone on the iPad to start.

942
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: But I would recommend you probably want to get them

943
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: a little microphone that he can plug into the iPad.

944
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: There are plenty that work with it. You might have

945
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: to get an adapter. You might not, but I would say, uh,

946
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, they do have a USB to lightning adapter

947
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: for the iPad. Get them that and just do some research.

948
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: Look at Blue Microphones. They've got some really inexpensive microphones

949
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: for starters, and I believe one of them will plug

950
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: into the iPad. So if you look at microphones and

951
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: you know they've got this snowball mic for fifty bucks,

952
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: let's see if that is compatible with the iPad. Because

953
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: let's see, uh this is Let's see can you use

954
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: it with the iPad features and specs, USB output, plug

955
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: and play with Mac and PC. So let me just

956
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: google Snowball Snowball mic iPad and let's see if it

957
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: works with it. How to use Blue USB microphones with

958
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: an iPhone or iPad. And the answer is, it looks

959
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: like you can. They confirmed to work with Apple Lightning

960
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: to USB and USB C T USB adapters as well

961
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: as USB on the go technology. So there you have it.

962
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: You can get a little it looks like interesting. You

963
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: can connect it to an iPhone. Wow, Okay, there's a

964
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: lot of different Yeah, so just get the USB Lightning

965
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: to USB adapter and boom you're done. So that's what

966
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: I recommend. So you're talking four hundred bucks for a

967
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: full setup and he can grow from there. And now,

968
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: the microphone that I recently reviewed, which I am just

969
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: in love with, is called the Tula mic to Ula

970
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that you have to get this overnight,

971
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: but it's a two hundred dollars microphone that records into itself,

972
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: but you can also use it as USB. And I

973
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: have not confirmed if it works with I'm sure, yeah,

974
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure. You can plug it into an iPhone with

975
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: the with the adapter as well, So with that he

976
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: can record music by itself and then he can bring

977
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: the audio files into iPads. So I mean, there's just

978
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: a world of possibility here. And I love the fact

979
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: that your son is doing this because let him be creative,

980
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: let him make stuff, and I think the iPad is

981
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,959
Speaker 1: going to be the best way for him to get

982
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: started doing that. Eventually, you want to get him a MacBook,

983
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: But these these kids, I'm telling you, they are mobile first,

984
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: and he may not need a MacBook to do it.

985
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: He may be able to do everything he needs to

986
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: do on this on this computer, so on this tablet rather.

987
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: So that's that's what I re commend. All right, Let's see, uh,

988
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: let's see. Let's see what do we want to talk

989
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: about next. We got that, We got that, We talked

990
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: about that. Okay, let's talk about this one real quick.

991
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: In Google Maps, really cool feature. You'll you will be

992
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: able to pay for parking meters inside Google Maps. And

993
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: this is like a no brainer. I every time I

994
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: pull up to a parking meet, it amazes me that

995
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: I have to find a quarter in my car and

996
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: pay for that parking meter using a quarter. Now, yes,

997
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: a lot of the parking meters around here in Los

998
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: Angeles do take a credit card or a debit card,

999
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: But why do you even need to take that? Why

1000
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: we all have smartphones. Put a QR code on that

1001
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: parking meter, bring me to a page that lets me

1002
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: pay for that meter with Apple Pay instantly, no sign up,

1003
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: no nothing, nothing, just let me pay. And yeah, there's

1004
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of these companies that have set up

1005
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: these systems that are super complicated where you gotta sign

1006
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: up and sign in and download an app, and it's

1007
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: such a pain that every city has a different system.

1008
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: Just give me a QR code, let me scan it

1009
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: and let me pay. Let me pay with Google Pay,

1010
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: let me pay with Apple Pay, let me pay with

1011
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: Samsung Pay. Is should just come up in the browser.

1012
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,479
Speaker 1: Oh we see you're at parking meter two seventy five

1013
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: on North First Street. Would you like an hour of

1014
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: time or two hours of time and boom you pay?

1015
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: Maybe that's out there, but it's not out there in

1016
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: a big enough way. So anyway, I say this because

1017
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: Google Maps is now letting you pay for parking meters

1018
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: from inside Google Maps. And so now when you park

1019
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: at a meter, you can look for a pay for

1020
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: parking button that appears when you get near your destination.

1021
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: And this is okay, but I feel like this is

1022
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of an in between technology. We're going

1023
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: to get there, but Google's trying and What Google's really

1024
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: good at is like taking you know, because there's so

1025
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 1: many of these providers out there that are doing parking.

1026
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: What they are good at doing is taking all of

1027
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: them and integrating them into their app and saying, it

1028
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter who's doing the back end processing of

1029
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: this parking meter. We're just going to present a big

1030
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: pay button to you and you press it and boom,

1031
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: you're done. And that's basically what they've done. So they're

1032
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: working right now with up two organizations. One is a

1033
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,760
Speaker 1: Passport and one is park Mobile. I did a story

1034
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: with park Mobile many years ago in Hollywood when they

1035
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: outfitted a whole bunch of meters in Hollywood with the

1036
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,439
Speaker 1: park mobile technology and it was great. This was at

1037
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: least probably five, six, maybe seven years ago. And you know,

1038
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: now Google is just making it easier because how many

1039
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: people are actually gonna, you know, go to a new

1040
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: city say, oh, that's cool, they use park Mobile. Let

1041
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 1: me let me download the app, let me sign up,

1042
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: let me sign in. No, half the people don't do

1043
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: that because it's too much work. So if it's in

1044
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: Google and they're just using park Mobile's back end network

1045
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: and then on the front end, it's Google Pay. You're

1046
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: in Google. It's all signed in with your email address.

1047
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: You already you already have a you know, Google account. Boom.

1048
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: It's easy. More people use it. So I think this

1049
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: is brilliant. I love it. I hope they expand it.

1050
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: Hopefully Apple Maps will do the same thing, because Apple

1051
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: Maps is very similar. Both Apple Maps and Google Maps

1052
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: are understanding that people are using these apps as a

1053
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: one stop shop for everything, whether it's finding a restaurant

1054
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: to eat app. Maybe not so much yet, but it's

1055
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: it's happening. I get the idea that you type in

1056
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: Seattle and it gives you everything you need to know

1057
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: about Seattle. Not just driving directions in Seattle, you get

1058
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: biking directions, you get transit. So the other thing that

1059
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: Google is doing in Google Maps is letting you pay

1060
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: for your transit fares. So they're working with over eighty

1061
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: transit agencies. Now, going back to my days when I

1062
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: lived in New York City, I will tell you that

1063
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: I could not half the problem of living in New

1064
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: York City when I was there is there was no

1065
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: such thing as Apple Maps or Google Maps. There were,

1066
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: there just wasn't, and so you would have to there

1067
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: was a website or I think an app called like

1068
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: Hopper or sub hoop or subway hop or something that

1069
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: you would before you went somewhere. You go on your

1070
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: desktop computer, you type in your destination and you would

1071
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: print out subway maps like directions to get to the place.

1072
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: And now when I go to New York City, I

1073
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: feel like I own that city when I'm on Google

1074
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: Maps or Apple Maps, because it tells me exactly which

1075
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: train to take, where the station is, how much time

1076
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: it's going to take me. And with this new update

1077
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: with buses and trains, you can pay for your fare.

1078
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 1: So that's the other thing is that, you know, if

1079
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: I was ever buying like a let's say I went

1080
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 1: to San Francisco for the day, you'd you know, it

1081
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: would tell you you need to take the bar to

1082
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: this station, and it would tell you how much it is,

1083
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 1: six dollars, eighty five cents, whatever it is. And now

1084
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: you'll be able to tap there and actually buy your

1085
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: fare right from Google Maps and save that in your

1086
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: little wallet and just show that or scan it or

1087
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: whatever that you do for Clipper when you get there. Brilliant.

1088
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: Same thing, you know, Las Vegas, you take the Monteroail.

1089
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: It says, oh, you can take the monorail. You buy

1090
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: your monorail pass right from within Google Maps. Now I'm

1091
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: not saying, I'm not confirming that those two things are

1092
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: indeed supported, but I'm just giving you an idea. You

1093
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: go to Japan and it's like, oh, I need to

1094
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: take this train to wherever, and used to need this.

1095
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: It's called a sweek a card and maybe that's integrated now.

1096
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: So again it used to tell you how much it

1097
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: would cost to get there. Now the next level is

1098
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: to actually let you purchase that fare from right inside

1099
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: Google Maps. You are so ready, you don't have to

1100
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: deal with these little payment terminals inside the you know station.

1101
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, let me tell you a quick story. Oh

1102
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: my gosh. I was in Japan once and I don't

1103
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 1: know if I took the wrong train or whatever I did,

1104
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: but I exited the train station and for some reason

1105
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember this story, but I could not

1106
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: get back into the train station because I did not

1107
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: have a valid fare card. So whatever I did, I

1108
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: really screwed up. And I don't know what I did,

1109
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: but long story short, I ended up. I ended up,

1110
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: and I thought I was gonna be arrested, And oh

1111
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: my gosh, this was like the scariest moment because I

1112
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: had to go through the exit and literally go to

1113
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: the exit that I came out of. I had to

1114
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: go the wrong way and buy my fare card, and

1115
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: like I was like a salmon swimming upstream amongst all

1116
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,479
Speaker 1: these people, and I had to buy my fare card

1117
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: to get back into the station so that I could

1118
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: take the right train that I needed. And I don't

1119
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: really remember the circumst answers. All I remember is that

1120
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: it was very complicated and I had no cash, and

1121
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: I it was like a whole big thing. Because in

1122
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: Japan it's changed a lot. But back in the day

1123
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: when I first started visiting the financial system, like they

1124
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: did not take like American credit or debit cards anywhere

1125
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: like they do now, like they used to. You know,

1126
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,439
Speaker 1: now it's gotten a lot better with tap to pay,

1127
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: But back in the day, Japan was very advanced and

1128
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: everything was taped to pay, whereas American credit cards were not,

1129
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: and it was it was either tap to pay or

1130
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: like a chip card, I think, and American cards were

1131
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: swipe and I just you just didn't have anywhere where

1132
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: you could swipe anywhere. It just didn't. It wasn't a thing,

1133
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: and so I think that's what the thing was. I

1134
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: needed cash or I needed a Oh my gosh, And

1135
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about it now because I haven't thought

1136
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: about the story in so long. But it was so

1137
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: scary that I just thought I was gonna be thrown

1138
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: in a jail over there because I went through the

1139
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: exit and I forget what happened if I ended up

1140
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: asking one of the people if I could do it

1141
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. I did it and it worked

1142
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: and I'm still here. So but oh my gosh, that

1143
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: was That was a bad, bad feeling. All right, Do

1144
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: I have time for one more question? I don't think

1145
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: I do. I think it's uh. I think it's that time.

1146
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: I think it's that time when you hear this music.

1147
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: That music means it's the end of the show. I

1148
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: didn't get to talk about everything I want to talk about,
