Speaker 1: This week, we've got UCSF Pediatrics Professor doctor Jason Nagata.

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: He's going to discuss all of those recent school smartphone

00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: going to help you select the ideal sports streaming service

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: for your needs.

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: It is the first week of college football.

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: NFL is happening as well, and so you're probably looking

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: at some of these streaming services. I'll help you figure

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: out or he'll help you figure out which one is

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: best for you. This week, Apple sent out invitations for

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: its next big iPhone event. This is for the iPhone sixteen,

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: happening on September ninth. It's a little bit early this year,

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: not too much, but typically they do it on a Tuesday.

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: This year it's on a Monday. The reason the big

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: presidential debate is on that Tuesday, so they didn't want

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: to mess with that. It's September eleventh, on Wednesday, obviously

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: not the best day for an event, so Monday it

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: is Monday, September ninth. It's funny all of the major

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: tech events this year were earlier than originally scheduled or

41
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: originally when they typically are. So Apple's event will be

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: up in Cooper, Tino at their headquarters.

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll be there.

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: What are we expecting to see the iPhone sixteen and sixteen,

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: plus the iPhone sixteen Pro and iPhone sixteen Pro Max,

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: so four models of the iPhone sixteen. They will all

47
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: have that AI built in. But there's been some talk

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: about whether that AI will be available day one or

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to wait a little bit longer for

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: that AI to come in a software update, maybe in

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: a month after the launch. Also on the docket Apple

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: Watch Series ten and then the Apple Watch Ultra three. Now,

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: of course this is all rumor and speculation. Apple never

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: confirms any thing before the actual event. But the highlights

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: of these new phones, as according to the rumor mill

56
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: a new A eighteen chip. We're already up to A

57
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: eighteen plus more RAM than ever eight gigabytes. Apple never

58
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: says how much RAM. They never actually give a lot

59
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: of specs for their phones besides the storage and the processor,

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: but these supposedly have more RAM, maybe to handle all

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: the AI stuff. A new action button across all of

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: the phones. This is a customizable button that you can

63
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: make do anything when you press it. You can make

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: it record a voice memo, or activate a smart assistant,

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: whatever you want. That's been available on the fifteen Pro models.

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Now that's apparently coming to the whole lineup. Then you've

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: got a new capture button. Now, this is interesting. So

68
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: Apple might be going all in on making the iPhone

69
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: a camera, which it already is for many people, but

70
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: the dedicated capture button would be really interesting to have

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: on there. So I'm very curious if that's actually going

72
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: to happen, where they would put that and how that

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: would work.

74
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: Let's see what else colors.

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't really care about the colors, but I know

76
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people do, blue, green, pink, white, black.

77
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Let's see what else. Oh, new larger displays. That's interesting.

78
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: These phones are getting even bigger, six point nine inches

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: on the high end. There five X zoom on the

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: Pro model, and the Apple Watch may be larger as well,

81
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: larger and thinner. And then, of course, if you're not

82
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: caring about the new iPhones, there will be a brand

83
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: new version of the software that runs on the iPhone

84
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: iOS eighteen. This will be available for the iPhone ten

85
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: R and up, which means if you have a phone

86
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: all the way from back in twenty eighteen, you're still

87
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: going to get a software update. That's pretty incredible. By

88
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: the way the event is called it's glow time. What

89
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: does that mean? Well, I think it means it's the

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: It refers to the look of Siri and all this AI.

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: Whenever you activate AI on the iPhone. As far as

92
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: I saw in demo that I got back in June,

93
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: it like the whole phone kind of glows, Like the

94
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: screen has this like magical glow to it. So I

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: think that's what glow time means. I don't think we're

96
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna see glow in the dark iPhones. Don't think that's

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: gonna happen. All right, I'm excited for that. I know

98
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: it's a big date for a lot of people to

99
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: either upgrade or get that new software or just see

100
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: what Apple's doing. It's always kind of a big deal

101
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: when it's the number one top tech company in the

102
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: world revealing the new products. No matter what where you

103
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: stand on iPhone, good or bad, it's always a big day. Meanwhile,

104
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: AI obviously been the biggest thing on all of the

105
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: new smartphones this year. I told you last week that

106
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: it is propelling sales of smartphones. I've been using the

107
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Pixel nine Pro and I think it is just absolutely incredible.

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: I think that that is the phone to be at

109
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: this point with for the average person, Like, if you

110
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: want a smartphone that is not Samsung, that's not Apple,

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: the Pixel is the way to go. Is there any

112
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: other choice, by the way, I don't think there is

113
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: at this point. But I think Samsung gets it in

114
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: the hardware. I think Apple gets it in kind of

115
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: the overall accessories and ease of use, and you can

116
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: walk into a store. They've got them everywhere if you

117
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: need help, So I think that's where they get it.

118
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: But Pixel is kind of like this sleeper phone that's

119
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: like it's really good, camera is amazing, the software is

120
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: really really good, it's smart, and it just feels like

121
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: a smartphone. But speaking of AI, California set to maybe

122
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: pass a landmark AI safety bill. This is SB ten

123
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: forty seven, a major AI regulation bill. The main thing

124
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: about this bill is that some lawmakers are trying to

125
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: implement safety measures for AI. So before these advanced AI

126
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: models go out into the world, they have to be

127
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: they have to be vetted, and these companies could be

128
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: held accountable for any mistakes they make. And they would

129
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: also have to have a kill switch, which means they

130
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: can shut them down quickly.

131
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: If something goes wrong. What could possibly go wrong?

132
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, taking over the entire world, trying

133
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: to kill US, bio warfare, election manipulation, I mean AI.

134
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: If you're not playing.

135
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: With it, it is incredible, It is incredibly useful, it

136
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: is incredibly smart, and we are just at the beginning.

137
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: So this bill in California, this wouldn't be for the

138
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: whole US, but because all of these tech companies are

139
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: headquartered in California, this would have nationwide ramifications. So who's

140
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: on the support side. Well, let me tell you who's

141
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: against it? First, Open AI makers of chat, GBT they

142
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: don't like it. Meta makers of Facebook, they don't like it.

143
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Google makers of Google, they don't like it. Some politicians

144
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: who don't want to stifle innovation. California's Chamber of Commerce

145
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: all against this bill.

146
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: Why don't they like it?

147
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Well, because it makes things tougher for these companies to

148
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: just do whatever they want to do. Who supports it? Interestingly,

149
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. Now I mentioned that I just finished reading

150
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: his or listening to his biography by Walter Isaacson and

151
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,559
Speaker 1: Elon Musk For all of the future thinking that he does,

152
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: he is actually very thoughtful about the implications of AI,

153
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: even though he has his own AI in Twitter or

154
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: x whatever it is called Grock. He says that he

155
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: does think that AI could have, you know, some issues,

156
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: some downsides if left unchecked, and so he is supporting

157
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: this bill. He says this should probably happen now. You

158
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: may argue, if you're a cynic, that he wants to

159
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: stifle the innovation of these big companies that are in

160
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: competition with him. So of course he's for this because

161
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: it would slow them down and give him time to

162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: catch up. But that's a very cynical view of things.

163
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Anthropic makers of Claude AI, which is my preferred AI,

164
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: known as a more safe and friendly AI, they are

165
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: also supporting this, and I love Anthropic. If you have

166
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: not tried Claude down, download this app to your phone

167
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: right now. Claude AI, make sure you get the official one.

168
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: It is incredible. I use this every day all day long.

169
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: It is just it's not as sexy as the other

170
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: AI's out there. It's Anthropic A N T H R

171
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: O P I C claude C l A U D E.

172
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: So look that up on your phone. It's available for

173
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: iPhone and Android and just get it on your phone again.

174
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Not as sexy as chat gybt which has become Kleenex.

175
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's not Google with their Gemini, it's not Samsung,

176
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: it's not Meta which forces it in your search bar.

177
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: But it's really good, and it's really good at just

178
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: thoughtful answers. Anyway, they are supporting this as well, so

179
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: it's not a done deal yet the governor. It's got

180
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: one more kind of step to go back to the

181
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: Senate before it will go to the Governor's desk. But

182
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: then the governor of California has until late September to

183
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: sign or veto the bill. And the thing that's interesting

184
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: about this is that Governor Newsom here in California has

185
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: not given any sort of like inkling to whether he

186
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: likes this or doesn't like it. And you have to

187
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: think where he's coming from. Obviously, he wants to set

188
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, California likes the regulations, but he also does

189
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: not want to stifle the tech companies that are based

190
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: here and their growth because there are many other states

191
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: and there are many other countries that are ready to

192
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: jump in and say, hey, come on over here, you

193
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: can do all the stuff you want to do over here,

194
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: and you don't have to deal with all those zany

195
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: regulations that California has. So we'll see what happens there,

196
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: but you know, the outcome could set a precedent here

197
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: in the United States. All Right, I've got so much

198
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: more to talk about on the show today.

199
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about.

200
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: How I switched away from so NOS, why I had

201
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: to actually paid to rent a movie last night, my birthday,

202
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: clearing out voicemails on your phone, this new app that

203
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: I really love, and a.

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: Very easy way to use AI.

205
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: It's all coming up right here on rich On Tech

206
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: eight eight to eight rich one on one eight eight

207
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: eight seven four two four one zero one. Welcome back

208
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,

209
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: talking technology at Triple eight rich one oh one. That's

210
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. Well,

211
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: it is the start of football season, and uh, whether

212
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: you watch college or NFL something in between. ESPN has

213
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: launched a new feature called where to Watch. This is

214
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: the streaming slash TV database you have been looking for.

215
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: It's really really easy, it's very useful, but basically you

216
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: can see where your games are streaming or playing on

217
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: which TV channel. They've got broadcast networks, cable channels, regional

218
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: sports networks, streaming services, and you can get it from

219
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: the ESPN app or ESPN dot com. Very very simple,

220
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: and if you log into ESPN, you can even set

221
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: your teams that you want to watch and it will

222
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: show you where those are first. Super super easy. They've

223
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: got over two hundred and fifty sources for this. You

224
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: can just go to ESPN dot com slash where to

225
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: watch and it's it's great. It's game game changing, no

226
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: pun intended, but it's great because you can see all

227
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: the dates ahead of you. You can select the teams

228
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: that you want and those will be showed right at

229
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: the top, and it shows you every which way you

230
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: can watch them. So, for instance, Dodgers playing the Diamondbacks today,

231
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: you can watch it on the diamondbackstreaming DBAs dot TV, MLBtv,

232
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: or sportsnet LA. So it gives you all those options. Now,

233
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: I will say that with sports specifically, it is still

234
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: a it's still very confusing whether you can actually access

235
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: those games. For instance, this game is not going to

236
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: be on MLBtv if you are in the LA area,

237
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: as I understand because typically they black out the games

238
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: that are in your local area. This would be on

239
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: sports and at LA, which obviously you would need a

240
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: streaming service or a cable provider that has that channel

241
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: to see it. So we're almost there, but you know

242
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: the idea here, I mean, look at Okay, so there's

243
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: another thing on FM Championship LPGA. You can watch on

244
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: ESPN Golf channel or Peacock. Who would think that Peacock

245
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: would have all this stuff? Since when did Peacock get

246
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: so sporty? But now like half the NBC sports are

247
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: all on Peacock.

248
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

249
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Anyway, it's really handy. ESPN dot com Slash where to watch.

250
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: The other one I like is Fubo. Fubo has something

251
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: called Gamefinder, So if you go to Fubo dot tv slash,

252
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: I'll see if you can go directly, Yeah, Fubo dot

253
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: tv Slash Gamefinder. You enter your zip code and that

254
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: will tell you where the games are playing as well.

255
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: So really really handy. It'll all be on my website,

256
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: rich on tech dot tv. If you want a link

257
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: to anything I mentioned here, just hit the light bulb

258
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: icon at the top. Let's go to Jason in a Equipment, Texas. Jason,

259
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

260
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 4: Hi.

261
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 5: Hello, Rich?

262
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: How are you?

263
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: I'm doing excellent? What can I help you with?

264
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 5: I'm the first time caller and I enjoy your show.

265
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: And thank you.

266
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 5: I have a thirteen inch MacBook Pro of twenty nineteen

267
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 5: with the Intel chip.

268
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: Okay.

269
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 5: I bought it new and bring a twenty twenty, and

270
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: I used it for a few months, and then I

271
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 5: put it up and didn't use it for probably two

272
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 5: or three years, and then I pulled it out last

273
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 5: year and updated it to the latest version. And the

274
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 5: battery won't charge anymore.

275
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: Battery service batteries okay. So what can I help you with?

276
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 5: I was saying, like, pick them the cock the count

277
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 5: and it says only.

278
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: Fix okay.

279
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: So it sounds like you're trying to figure out what

280
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: to do with this twenty nineteen MacBook Pro that will

281
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: not charge. So you are very correct in going into

282
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: the system information and checking the cycle count and the condition.

283
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: This is the health information of the battery. You can

284
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: access this by going to the Apple menu on your

285
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: computer upper left hand corner. You hold down the let's

286
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: see is it the option?

287
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

288
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: So you hold down option, you tap that Apple and

289
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: it will switch from about this mac to system information.

290
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: You tap that, and then the left hand side it

291
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: says power and I can see my battery. I have

292
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: a brand new MacBook air cycle count nine. That means

293
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: I fully charged and discharged this battery nine times, which

294
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: I know it might sound like a lot, but that's

295
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: that's a cycle count is not how many days you've

296
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: had this computer and you've played it in. A cycle

297
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: is a little bit more than that, so it's like

298
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: the whole battery, So it's a little bit different than

299
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I've plugged this in nine times and

300
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: then I've got conditioned normal maximum capacity one hundred percent.

301
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: Sounds like your battery is done. It's dead. So you

302
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: can either just leave this computer plugged in all the

303
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: time and use it that way. But keep in mind

304
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: if you unplug it, you're going to lose power instantly,

305
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: so you might want to put something like a ups

306
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: in between your computer and the wall so that way

307
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: you have a little bit of time to shut down

308
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: your computer if you yank out the cord. Otherwise, I

309
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: would recommend just bringing this computer in. It's a twenty nineteen,

310
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: You've still got plenty of life left on this computer.

311
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: I would bring it into the Apple Store, get a

312
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: quote from them, see how much it'll cost for them

313
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: to replace that battery. If you don't want to go there,

314
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: you can go to a local place that will replace

315
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: the battery. That's an authorized reseller, a best buy could

316
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: do it. Or you can go to a place like

317
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: you Break I Fix and they will give you a

318
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: free quote on how much it costs to replace the battery.

319
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I'd say if it was about maybe three hundred dollars

320
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: or less, go ahead and do it. Because this is

321
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: a perfectly good computer. It's going to last you another

322
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: I'd say four or five years or so. Thanks for

323
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: the call, Jason, appreciate it. From there in Texas. Coming up,

324
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to doctor Jason Nogada about the

325
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: recent school smartphone bands and the impact on students well being.

326
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: This is rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich On Tech.

327
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

328
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: triple eight Rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight

329
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: seven four to two four one zero one. Give me

330
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: a call if you have a question about technology. We've

331
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: got lots to discuss on today's show. We'll get back

332
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: to the phone lines in just a moment. Joining me now,

333
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: UCSF Pediatrics Professor doctor Jason Nogada, thanks so much for

334
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: joining me today. Thanks so much for having me. So

335
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: this is an issue that's near and dear to my heart.

336
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: I've got two kids, they're both in school. They both

337
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: love their technology because they know who dad is and

338
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: they have a lot of access to it. I'm also

339
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: reading that book, The Anxious Generation, and it's making me

340
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: think twice about a lot of this stuff and the

341
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: manipulation by these social media companies and addicting our children. So,

342
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: first off, I know a lot of schools are starting

343
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: to ban smartphones during the day.

344
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that.

345
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a great question, and as you mentioned,

346
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 6: many more school districts than schools are considering school bands.

347
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 6: I do think it's important to note that phones are

348
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 6: not inherently.

349
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 7: Good or bad.

350
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 6: There are some health risks that we know about that

351
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 6: we do want to minimize, but there are also some benefits,

352
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: including communication, socialization that you know children will have to

353
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 6: learn and to some extent, you know, technology is not

354
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 6: going to go away, and so in order for our

355
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 6: children to become functioning adults and able to function in society.

356
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 6: They will have to learn how to use technology and

357
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 6: phones to some extent. I do think that school cell

358
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 6: phone bands are relatively new, and there's not actually strong

359
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 6: evidence either way. So I think it is important that

360
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 6: aso are starting to implement these bands, that we really

361
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 6: study it rigorously so that we have hard data as

362
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 6: to whether or not it actually improves academic or health outcomes.

363
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: That's so good. I like that.

364
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: That's a good kind of like a nice way to

365
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: think about it, because you're right.

366
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: I mean, there are so many benefits.

367
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: We were discussing this last night with my kids because

368
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: they have watches, they don't have phones, but you know,

369
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: they can't use them during the day now. And you know,

370
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: my wife was like, well, you can call the school

371
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: if there's an emergency, and I said, well, no parent

372
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: wants to call the school in an emergency. They want

373
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: a direct line to their child. And I think that's

374
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: the biggest kind of flip side that parents, even though

375
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: they know these things could be rough on their kids,

376
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: they still want to be able to get in touch

377
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: with them during the day.

378
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

379
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I do think that that is one of their drawbacks,

380
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 6: so that I think there are risks and their benefits.

381
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 6: And you know, one of the key functions of phones

382
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 6: is for communication, and so if you want to be

383
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 6: able to communicate with your child, you know, with phones

384
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 6: being banned during the school day, you won't be able

385
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 6: to directly reach them throughout the day, especially in times

386
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 6: of emergencies.

387
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 7: So I do think that that's one of the drawbacks.

388
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 6: But you know, that being said, because all the kids

389
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 6: won't have access to phones, you know, none of them

390
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 6: will have they'll all be in the same situation and

391
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 6: they can all kind of socialize in person. So I

392
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 6: do think that there are some benefits that I'm really

393
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 6: encouraged kids to socialize like in person and also to

394
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 6: really fully focus on their studies during the in the

395
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 6: classroom without distractions. And while there's not a lot of data,

396
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 6: there have been some schools that have found that English

397
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 6: proficiency even has improved with the implementation of school bands

398
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 6: or school phone bands.

399
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's my biggest takeaway is that the

400
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, these phones, like you said, they're not inherently

401
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: good or bad, but there are things that as human

402
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: beings that you know, with a brain and the way

403
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: that we think and do things. These phones attract our

404
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: attention a lot. I mean, you get these notifications throughout

405
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: the day, and of course these apps they want you

406
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 1: to be on there because that's their job is to

407
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: get you engaged. And so but kids, I feel like,

408
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: are a little bit and adults I see this as

409
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: with as well, is that we're we just can't handle it.

410
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: Like we just you get that notification, you're gonna check it.

411
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: Like I know, even this morning, I'm on a run

412
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: and I know that my family's just texting back and forth,

413
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: but my my watch keeps vibrating and I want to

414
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: check it.

415
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 2: And that's pretty normal, right, It's pretty typical.

416
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I do think that, as you mentioned,

417
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 6: the technology is designed to you know, get you engage it,

418
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 6: to use more of it. And so just as you mentioned,

419
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 6: like more notifications you have, you know, you're we're naturally

420
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 6: designed in programmed to want to check it. And with

421
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 6: kids in social media, you know, if they've gotten a

422
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 6: like or a comment, they want to check it right

423
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 6: away and they want to respond to it. And so

424
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 6: I do think that there are things you know, inherent

425
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 6: and the technology design that are you know, have addictive natures,

426
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 6: and I do think that, you know, for kids and

427
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 6: adults to like, it's really hard to fight that. So

428
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 6: I do think that one, you know, very clear way

429
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 6: of addressing that is to just the devices altogether. And

430
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 6: so I do think that, you know, if during the

431
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 6: school day, kids aren't getting those notifications, then they can

432
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 6: really be present for the academic work ahead of them.

433
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 6: So that is one of the you know, I guess

434
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 6: the most effective way of getting rid of all those

435
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 6: distractions and notifications is actually to just remove the device.

436
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that may not be the best long term

437
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: because number one, as soon as the kid gets out

438
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: of school, they're back to their phone. So it's like

439
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: this weird and my wife and I have struggled this

440
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: with this with my kids. It's like, do you aban

441
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: the roadblocks during the week and just let them, you know,

442
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: play as much as they want on the weekends. It's like,

443
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: it's this weird thing because I get as an adult,

444
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: you have to learn to like manage your time and

445
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: you have to learn to like manage your attention. Are

446
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: kids just not equipped to do that yet at their age?

447
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: Is that why it's kind of very different? And I know,

448
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: not all adults can do that either easily.

449
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're absolutely right, And I do think

450
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 6: that there's not a one size fits all solution, even

451
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 6: for your own child, because I think actually your child's

452
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 6: age and development matters a whole lot. I do think

453
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 6: that as children become teenagers and you know, as you said,

454
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 6: transition to adults, ideally you want to provide them with

455
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 6: skills and their own decisions so that when they go off,

456
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 6: you know, when they move away from home and they're

457
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 6: working on their own or going to college, they're equipped

458
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 6: with the skills and the tools to be able to

459
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 6: balance and manage technology and their own you know, personal life,

460
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 6: you know, just like we're faced with as adults. So

461
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 6: I do think the ultimate goal is to get to

462
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 6: that stage where they can make healthy and good decisions

463
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 6: that really optimize their tech use while minimizing the risks.

464
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 6: But I do think that especially for younger children, you know,

465
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 6: who are really much more dependent on their parents and

466
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 6: do you know, often do.

467
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 7: Better with rules.

468
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 6: I do think that it makes more sense in general

469
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 6: to have more rules for younger children, who you know,

470
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 6: may not have the developments to be able to really

471
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 6: make some of these decisions on their own, just like

472
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 6: you wouldn't let a five year old, you know, we

473
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 6: don't let firo's drive cars or do.

474
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 7: Other things like that.

475
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 6: I do think that there is potentially a role for

476
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 6: a graduation and where you know, as kids are getting

477
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 6: older and able to make more decisions on their own,

478
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 6: you can provide them with a little bit more autonomy,

479
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 6: and eventually the goal is to get them to you know,

480
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 6: be able to function optimally on their own.

481
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: So what should parents know about the effect of these

482
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: phones and all these social media apps on their kids

483
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: and give them some advice on how to deal with

484
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: this stuff.

485
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I do think that in terms of the potential

486
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 6: health risks, you know, there has been a lot of

487
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 6: research on it, and there are some mixed findings, but overall,

488
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 6: you know, in some adolescents there are I think one

489
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 6: of the overall there are some like physical health consequences potentially,

490
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 6: I think the most important ones are maybe sleep, physical inactivity,

491
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 6: and potentially nutrition. So in terms of sleep, we already

492
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 6: know that more than a third of teenagers don't get

493
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 6: enough sleep, and I do think that phone use and

494
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 6: just device use in general is one really easy behavioral

495
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 6: strategy to improve sleep. We do know that when kids

496
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 6: or anyone is on their device right before bedtime, you know,

497
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 6: it's activating it. You know, really in general makes people

498
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 6: stay up later, they get poorer quality sleep, and for

499
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 6: growing children and adolescents, it's so important for their growth

500
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 6: development and even academic performance. So I do think that

501
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 6: particularly limiting screen use or phone use right before bedtime

502
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 6: is a.

503
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 7: A good strategy.

504
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 6: And actually kind of similar to the what we said

505
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 6: about having physical devices like away so that you don't

506
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 6: have my notifications, one of the most effective strategy is

507
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 6: actually to have your phone outside of your bedroom so

508
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 6: that you know you don't have the you know, you're

509
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 6: not nice to go check it in the middle of

510
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 6: the night.

511
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've all got out where you wake up in

512
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: the middle of the night and what do you do.

513
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: You roll over and you check your phone, like for

514
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: what reason?

515
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, and then you've then all of a sudden

516
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 6: you see all the messages or notifications that you missed

517
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 6: or work stuff, and then you know, now you're awake

518
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 6: again and you're thinking about dealing with that stuff. So

519
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 6: I do think that having the device is outside of

520
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 6: the room or completely off, you know, can help kids

521
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 6: and adults have better sleep.

522
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 7: You know.

523
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 6: Another potential reason why phones and other screen devices can

524
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 6: lead to poor health and teenagers is that they're just

525
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 6: spending a lot of time.

526
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 7: On screens these days.

527
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 6: The average teenager during the pandemic spent eight hours of

528
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 6: their recreational time, you know, on a device. It's obviously

529
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 6: lower than that now that we don't have the lockdowns

530
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 6: and social isolation, but it's.

531
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 7: Still is very high.

532
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 6: And if you think about you know, teenagers being on

533
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 6: their screens for four to eight hours a day, that's

534
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 6: four to eight hours in general that they're not you know,

535
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 6: being physically active or exercising or socializing with people in

536
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 6: real life. And so I think part of it is

537
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 6: like what else could you be doing with that time

538
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 6: when you're not in front of the screen, So it's

539
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 6: kind of displacing other activities that could be good for

540
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 6: your health. And then I think finally, in terms of nutrition,

541
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 6: there are studies that show that the more people are

542
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 6: on screens, especially watching you know, streaming movies or television

543
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 6: shows or watching television shows, the more likely they are

544
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 6: to overeat while they're distracted.

545
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 7: So if you're you know, having a meal. While you're

546
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 7: watching TV.

547
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 6: Or watching Netflix, you're more likely to overeat because you're

548
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 6: kind of distracted and not paying attention to your hunger cues,

549
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 6: so you're more likely to gain weights. And actually, we

550
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 6: recently had a study that showed that over time, young

551
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 6: adults who had more screen.

552
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 7: Time thirty years later were actually more likely.

553
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 6: Than to have heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

554
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 6: and even heart attacks. So I do think that the

555
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 6: more time that you're on screens, especially if you're sitting

556
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 6: and sedentary, over time, that can really lead to some

557
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 6: significant health consequences.

558
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: All Right, we're going to leave it there.

559
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: UCSF Pediatrics Professor, Doctor Jason Nagatta, thanks so much for

Speaker 1: with worms, just to uncover a rock. Just just lift

00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

571
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at Triple A Rich one

572
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: O one eight eight eight seven four to two four

573
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,760

574
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: get to. Uh tell you about my switch away from

575
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: Sonos this week?

576
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 2: What else? Oh why I had to rent a movie

577
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: last night? We got a lot to talk about.

578
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: But let's go to the Nette in Los Angeles Thenett,

579
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich.

580
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 8: Hi and I mean your advice. I'm trying to decide

581
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 8: what to purchase between a MacBook are and with empty

582
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 8: chick or M three chick. Everything is the same, you know,

583
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 8: the CPU, the storage, the goodbye. The only difference is

584
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 8: that EMP two chip and M three chip. M two chip.

585
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, how much is the price difference on the M

586
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: three chip? I go, I'd go with the M three.

587
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be faster, It's just gonna be slightly faster.

588
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: I would say if the difference was like five hundred dollars,

589
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: I would go with the M two. But since you're

590
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: only paying one hundred dollars more to get the latest,

591
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: I have the M three.

592
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: I just got it. It's fine.

593
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's not you know my old uh my

594
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: M two Pro was faster, but I think for the

595
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, I'd go with the M three, just

596
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: just to be on the current, you know, wave of

597
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: things you get one year newer technology. Again, if it

598
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: was more, if it was three five hundred dollars, i'd

599
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: say absolutely go with the M two. You'll be just fine.

600
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: But for a hundred bucks, easy decision, go with the

601
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: M three.

602
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 8: I know that's what I was thinking when I just

603
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 8: needed aff confirmation.

604
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: Yep, enjoy the new computer and that I think you're

605
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: gonna love it.

606
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 8: Thank you so much.

607
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: All Right, have a great day. Let's go to Sorry

608
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: about that.

Speaker 1: Let's a little fast on the trigger there, Let's go

Speaker 2: Gloria, you're on with rich Ah.

612
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 5: Yes, good afternoon. I have a question.

613
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 9: I would send some legal documents, but on CD disc okay,

614
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 9: and now I don't have anything. I tried it on

615
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 9: my CD player that didn't work. But I needed to know,

616
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 9: could I if I wanted to hear these discs to

617
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 9: see what's on file?

618
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: What I would saying?

619
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 5: Could I use a DVD.

620
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: Player like a standalone DVD player?

621
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, a little small ones, but no.

622
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: That's not gonna that's not going to work for files. Yeah,

623
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: it's not going to display those because these are these

624
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: are documents on there?

625
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: Are they pictures or what are they?

626
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 9: No, they're just let's say, gibbis. I don't know whether

627
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 9: they're documents or not.

628
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 4: But I know.

629
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 9: I used to have a DVD player, a small portable

630
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 9: and I'm fall back and I could hear.

631
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 5: It's not so much scene.

632
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 9: I just want to know what's on them.

633
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would.

634
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: I would find a computer with a with a disk

635
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: drive on it. So you're an Oxnard.

636
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 9: The problem is I can't afford a computer.

637
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: And no no, not that I'm not saying you got

638
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: to buy a computer. No, no, no, I'm trying to

639
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: figure out a place where you can go where you

640
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: can just so first off, I would tap friends, so,

641
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, head onto your Facebook, your Instagram or your

642
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 1: social media, say hey, uh, anyone have a computer with

643
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: a with a disk drive a you know, CD or

644
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: DV Just say disk drive and see if anyone's got one. Hey,

645
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: can I come to your house? You put the disc

646
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: in the drive, you copy all that stuff and you

647
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: can upload it to the cloud, to a service if

648
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: you want something that's super easy wormhole dot app and

649
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: you can just drag and drop all the files there.

650
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: It's encrypted, and then you send yourself a link through email.

651
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: You'll have all the files you downloa them. Do you

652
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: have a computer at all?

653
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 5: No?

654
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 9: Even if I had a computer, it would be kind

655
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 9: of difficult for me because I do everything the audible unbeling.

656
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: Oh oh got it? Okay?

657
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: Oh so well, okay, so you're trying to read the

658
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: listen to these documents.

659
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 5: I just want to listen to those.

660
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

661
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: Well, unless they're audio files, you're going to need a

662
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: service to do that. So you've got to get these

663
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: files somehow. And then do you have a smartphone?

664
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 10: Uh?

665
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 5: No, I have a flip phone.

666
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: You have a flip phone.

667
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, you've got to enlist the help of a

668
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: friend or family member or someone that you trust, and

669
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: you got to ask them to get these files into

670
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, onto a flash drive or onto a place

671
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: where you can somehow convert them to listen to them.

672
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

673
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: And there's there's some free services Speechify. That's a great

674
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: service that you can listen to these things on. I mean,

675
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: there's so many ways you can I'm sure you know

676
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: you can listen to things online.

677
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 9: Well, I was going to go to bed By and

678
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 9: ask on what and take the diff and asked us

679
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 9: who was the best way I could hear the Well,

680
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 9: I don't hear them.

681
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't think best Buy is gonna really you know,

682
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna talk to the geek squad and

683
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna, I mean, they may be able to do

684
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: that conversion for you, but I would I would start

685
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: with friends and family. I start with friends and family,

686
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: someone you know and schools like you know, maybe just

687
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, some sort of resource like a group that

688
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: you're in or something, and just see who has you know,

689
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: a friendly helping hand. It's not too tough to to

690
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: transform these into a flash drive or some sort of clouds,

691
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: uh file, get the text, extract that, and then there's

692
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: even ways of converting that into you know, an audible file,

693
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: like a you know, recording that into an audio file.

694
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember there was actually a pretty cool

695
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: service that would transform your your text into a podcast,

696
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: and I got to remember I look up what that was.

697
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: But that was pretty neat, and that's one way of

698
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: doing it. But speech a fy, I think is probably

699
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: your best bet. Someone can get these documents into a

700
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: form where you can upload them to speech a fy

701
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: or they can, then you'll be able to listen to

702
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: all of these things.

703
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: So a library might do it.

704
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking up the Oxnard Public Library and they

705
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: say that their computers don't have CD drives, so that's

706
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: not a good place to go. But you might want

707
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: to call them. There might be someone that might want

708
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: to help you. There a local university. They may help you.

709
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: But again, I think this is a situation where you've

710
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: got to tap into the friendliness of someone. If that

711
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: doesn't work, then I would just go on Yelp and

712
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: look for a place that does, you know, maybe some

713
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: conversions or an internet cafe near you that someone might

714
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: be able to help you do it that way. But

715
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: those are the best bets that I would think for this.

716
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: It's a kind of a tricky situation, but I think

717
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: those are the best way to do it. I don't

718
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pay a lot for this, because you know,

719
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: it's just it doesn't sound like it's an easy situation

720
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: because you don't have a computer and you don't have

721
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: a phone, so someone has to help you with this

722
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: that's what I'm hearing here eighty eight rich.

723

737
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: Insiders Tech and Electronics Senior reporter Antonio villis Boas. He's

738
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: going to compare mobile carriers Mint Mobile and Tello Mobile.

739
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: Maybe you've heard a Mint, maybe you haven't heard of Tello.

740
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: But he's going to compare the pros and cons of each.

741
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: And then later we've got the TV answer man. He's

742
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: gonna talk about selecting the ideal sports streaming service. I

743
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: know I did, I jumped the gun. I guess I

744
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: chose that yesterday should have waited till today. But my

745
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: kid wants to watch the game, so I'll reveal what

746
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 1: I chose. Something else I did this week, I've gotten

747
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: kind of fed up with my Sons system at home.

748
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: If you've been following the drama, now, don't cry for

749
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: anyone with Sons because this is a very expensive system.

750
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: So you know, I get it.

751
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: I built mine over many years, and so I'm annoyed

752
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: because i loved it for so long. But now I'm

753
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: finding that my new solution is actually way better. So

754
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: so nos if you haven't been following it, they updated

755
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: their app and it just messed up every system nationwide.

756
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 1: You can't adjust the volume for me. What I've noticed

757
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: with my system is it's just completely unreliable. Number One,

758
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: I have no idea how to use the app anymore.

759
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea how to group and ungroup my speakers.

760
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: What's amazing about it is that you can have a

761
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: speaker in every room and you can listen to individual

762
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: services on any of those speakers, or you can group

763
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: them all together, or you can group one or two

764
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: all together or together, and you have a selection of

765
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: every single music service in the world.

766
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: You can all access it through their app.

767
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: Well, they kind of threw all that out the window

768
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: and made it almost impossible to use. You can't group

769
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: an N group. I have no idea. The app is

770
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: so confusing. You try to play something, it takes forever.

771
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: Try to adjust the volume, good luck with that. It

772
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: doesn't work. And so it's just kind of ruined everything.

773
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: And so I've gotten so completely frustrated with this. I

774
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: actually pulled out two of my so No speakers in

775
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: my rooms and I replaced them with Amazon Echo speakers.

776
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: And I'm not kidding. It has been amazing. Why am

777
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: I so late? When did Amazon Echo launch? Amazon Echo

778
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: launch date November sixth, twenty fourteen. Okay, I'm just about

779
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: ten years late on the amazingness of this.

780
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 4: Now.

781
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: Yes, I have had Echo speakers since day one, but

782
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: I always thought they were inferior to Sons because it

783
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: just seemed like a gimmick compared to Sons and the

784
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: beautiful sound quality. But now I'm telling you I plugged

785
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: in this speaker that I must. I must have had

786
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: the speaker for five years. It's like one of the

787
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: old school Echoes. It sounds great and what I love

788
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: about it is the voice control. So now I come

789
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: home and I can immediately start playing a radio station

790
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: or some music just using my voice, and I move

791
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: around to different rooms and I just say what I

792
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: want to listen to in that room?

793
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 2: Now? Can you group them?

794
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 12: Yes?

795
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: You can group them. Is it as easy as sons? No,

796
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: because you have to kind of choose the groups in advance.

797
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: But the point is I'm listening to more music faster

798
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: than I ever have. And by the way, I can

799
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: adjust the volume. And by the way I can adjust

800
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: the volume just by saying, Alex, ay put the volume up,

801
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: put the volume down, or stop, or play or changes

802
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: to the other room, whatever it is. It's pretty incredible.

803
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 8: Now.

804
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I had to look at the flashing light on

805
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: top of the echo today and I said, okay, Alex,

806
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: say you got me what's.

807
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 11: On your mind?

808
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, I noticed there's two things in

809
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: your Amazon cart. Would you like to order those? I

810
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: can place that order right now. This is kind of

811
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: like the you know, the Nightmare of AI. It's like, oh,

812
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think I needed those things, but sure place

813
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: that order. It also said the other day, I noticed

814
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: that you're you're based on my timeline, the filter and

815
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: your refrigerator might be up for renewal? Would you like

816
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,959
Speaker 1: to order a new one now? And I'm like, You've

817
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: got to be kidding me. I see why they do this.

818
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: It Also one time I had it plugged in and

819
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: I said, we noticed the ink in your printer is

820
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: getting low. Do you liked us to order that ink cartridge?

821
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: I said, what now you're looking at my ink cartridges?

822
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: What else are you looking at?

823
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: Rich?

824
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: We noticed your sock drawers getting kind of low? Would

825
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: you like to do your laundry anyway? So?

826
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: I love it.

827
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: I've ordered so many of these speakers now. I just

828
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: went on Amazon and I ordered more of these echos.

829
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: So I think I'm gonna end up doing the whole house.

830
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: I will say yes, I'll probably come back to Sono

831
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: to some point, but I'm not sure at this point.

832
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: As long as I can have music in all my rooms,

833
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: even if I have it in what I've realized also

834
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: I probably don't need music in every room unless I'm

835
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: having people over, and then you want music, you know,

836
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: outside inside all these different places.

837
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: But and I love Sonos, Don't get me wrong.

838
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: I have been the biggest proponent of Sonos ever since

839
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: I took the first meeting in Trump Tower in New

840
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: York City. Yes, that's where they did the meeting now

841
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: that I think about it. They were showing off their system.

842
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: I think it was Trump Tower, I'm pretty sure it was,

843
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: or maybe it was Trump. Was there a hotel maybe

844
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: Trump Hotel, I don't know anyway, it was, yeah, I

845
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: know the one in Vegas, but I think there might

846
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: have been one of your anyway, Maybe it wasn't, maybe

847
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: it was near there. But I just remember going to

848
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: this like suite. It was like this beautiful suite and

849
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: they showed me the first Sonos system and I was like,

850
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: you want me to pay how much for what? It

851
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: was like twelve hundred dollars for the speakers and that

852
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: that like included this crazy controller that was proprietary. This

853
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: was before iPads, and I was like, twelve hundred dollars,

854
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: who's buying this? And you know, sure enough, they did

855
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: pretty well. But eventually when the phone became the controller,

856
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: that's what really made so Noos amazing because you could

857
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: now concentrate on buying these super expensive speakers, which yes,

858
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: we're very expensive, but you could use your phone to

859
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: control them and you could buy the speakers one by one,

860
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: and they ended up coming out with cheaper speakers over

861
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: the years, but they're still pretty expensive, like two hundred

862
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: bucks minimum.

863
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 2: Might say.

864
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: Anyway, I am loving the Echo. If you haven't jumped

865
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: on board, it's great. It works with all your streaming services,

866
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: all the music, all the radio stations.

867
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: Is fantastic.

868
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of streaming, last night, we actually had to rent

869
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: pay to rent a movie. My kid wanted to see

870
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Inside Out two, and so he's been asking and asking

871
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: and asking. We have not been able to make it

872
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: to the movie theater. And then when I went online

873
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: to buy tickets, I was like, hold on eighty bucks

874
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: for four of us to.

875
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 2: See a movie.

876
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: Nah, I'm just not paying that. And so and then

877
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: you got to pay for the popcorn and all that

878
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: other stuff that you got to get. My kids like

879
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: to get an icy which is like six bucks for

880
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: just pure sugar water that's colored.

881
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 2: No, we're not doing that.

882
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: So anyway, so I said, you know what, I'll pay

883
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: for the movie on the TV because you can't. This

884
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: is the thing that frustrates me. I subscribe to every

885
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: streaming service, Netflix, Paramount plus Peacock.

886
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: What else is there. I don't know, there's so many

887
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: of them.

888
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: I pay for all of them because I'm like, all right,

889
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully the movie I want to watch is

890
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: on these things. Well, it turns out Inside Out two

891
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: is not on any of them, especially not Disney Plus.

892
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: So what they do now is they have it in

893
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: the theater, then they have it on streaming, like where

894
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: you can rent it or buy it for a couple

895
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: of months, and then it comes to Disney Plus. So

896
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: the price to rent this movie was what was it,

897
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars, and the price to buy it was

898
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: thirty So of course what I say, all right, I'll

899
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: just buy it so thirty bucks. Now I ended up

900
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: having a ten dollars credit, so it was really twenty

901
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: dollars on Google Play, and we got to watch it.

902
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: We had a fantastic family night.

903
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: But my point is it's like, here I am paying

904
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: for all these streaming services, and still they managed to

905
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: eke another twenty dollars out of me. It's like they

906
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: will not quit until I don't know, Disney just has

907
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: another theme park somewhere, which I'm sure they're building anyway.

908
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,479
Speaker 2: All right, Why do I digress so much? On the show.

909
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: Oh, we had a question from Gloria in the last segment.

910
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: She was asking about transforming some of her printed material

911
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: into text. And I couldn't remember the name of this service.

912
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned Speechify, the other one that's really good. If

913
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: you have not downloaded this app, download it to your phone.

914
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: It's eleven Labs and it's completely free. But you feed

915
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: it any article and it will read you that article

916
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: in a very realistic voice, and you have your choice

917
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: of voices. It's free and it's incredible. It's AI Voice,

918
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: so I know, if you hate AI, don't download it.

919
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: But it's really unbelievable. It's remarkable how good this is.

920
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 2: Now.

921
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: The only downside to that is when you download an article,

922
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna read all the nonsense in the article. At

923
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: to ignore some of that stuff, but articles are littered

924
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: with just nonsense nowadays, with like all this like promotional

925
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: stuff and things like that, so it will read some

926
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: of that, but when you get to the heart of

927
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: the article, it's actually quite incredible. So eleven Labs available

928
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: for iPhone. Don't know if it ever came to Android,

929
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: but let's see is it on Android yet? I don't

930
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: think it is I think it's just on Oh it

931
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: is on Android. Oh, I got to download that on

932
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: iPhone and Android eleven labs. I'll link it up on

933
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: the website. Rich on tech dot tv hit the light bulb.

934
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: This is show number eighty seven, so you can get

935
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: the show notes there. Now, the other one I mentioned

936
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: that can send it to a podcast. You can actually

937
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: create a podcast of articles that will go right to

938
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: your phone. This is called listen later dot net. Listen

939
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: later dot net Basically, whenever you come across an article

940
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: that you want to listen to on your phone, you

941
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: just send it to this email address and then it

942
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: gives you a custom podcast and you just feed that

943
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: into the podcast reader on your phone and I and

944
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: listen to these articles. It's pretty good, but the problem

945
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: is it is a little bit pricey. You got to

946
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: buy credits, so, you know, they basically you got to

947
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: pay by you know, you charge up like five, ten,

948
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty dollars, and then each article has like a cost

949
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: associated with it. So if you want something that's completely free,

950
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: go the eleven laps because that one is free.

951
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 2: It works really well, all.

Speaker 3: Hey, my friend that is hoping you can help me

984
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 3: out with this annoying problem that I have. So whenever

985
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 3: I enter my car, the bluetooth automatically connects to the phone,

986
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 3: but then I don't get any audible alert when I

987
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 3: get a text message. And so I've been driving for

988
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 3: half an hour, forty five minutes missions three or four

989
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 3: text messages. Is there any way that you know of

990
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: to make if the phone's connected to the bluetooth of

991
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 3: the car, but also get the audible alert of the

992
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 3: text message. And I'm using Android phone?

993
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 2: Oh you're on Android? Okay, so.

994
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah Android, I mean in my car immediately. So I

995
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 1: was using iPhone and my car would not work. Apparently

996
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: it couldn't get the notifications from the iPhone, but on

997
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: Android it should be able to read those. Okay, are

998
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: you on Uh so, if you're on Android, there's a

999
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: you have to in your assistant. There's a feature that

1000
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: says here personal results on your headphones. When your phone

1001
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: is locked. You can try turning that on and see

1002
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: if that would toggle these notifications to come on. Mine

1003
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: is off, so I think that would read the notifications

1004
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: from your phone.

1005
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so I mean I'm it's so it would

1006
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 3: say like let's say it's like new message received like

1007
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 3: through like the infotainment system of the car. But like

1008
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 3: as far as they're going to audio alert, I'm not

1009
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 3: getting anything like my alert sound like when I give

1010
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 3: a text message, So if it's not connected to Bluetooth,

1011
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: someone sends me a text message that here is a

1012
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 3: little chime. You know, I know I've received the message,

1013
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 3: but if it's connected to Bluetooth, it doesn't make any

1014
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 3: noise at all. And then sometimes you know, if you know,

1015
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 3: I'm not using the Bluetooth part of the car at

1016
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 3: that point, I'm not getting the audible alert.

1017
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's well, the audible alert because the problem is

1018
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: your phone's connected to Bluetooth, so all of the audio

1019
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: is going through Bluetooth. Now, the good news is you

1020
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 1: have an Android phone, so there are apps that could

1021
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: that could help you route some of those things. And

1022
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: even I'm looking in the settings of even on the

1023
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: Android settings like they're pretty thorough with your audio routing.

1024
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: But typically when you are connected to a device, the

1025
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: audio is going to go through to that device no

1026
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: matter what. It's not going to play your you know,

1027
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: your notification sound through your phone and then everything else

1028
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: goes through Bluetooth. So what what kind of phone is this?

1029
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: Samsung or Apple?

1030
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 5: All right?

1031
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 3: Samshung some Sun GALAT'SY twenty two.

1032
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe, So do you want you just want to

1033
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: be able to hear the notification or do you want

1034
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: to hear it read to you?

1035
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 3: No, I just want to hear the notification.

1036
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't need it read to me.

1037
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 3: I just need to hear the audible alert.

1038
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: Oh okay, in that case, you may okay, you there there.

1039
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: So what I would do is okay, so on my car,

1040
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now, and mine says media

1041
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: audio turned on. I can turn that off, and I

1042
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: would imagine that when I get a notification it might

1043
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: just trigger on the phone itself versus the car. But again,

1044
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: I think this is a matter of you've got to

1045
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: look through every single setting on your car and on

1046
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: your phone and figure out and if that doesn't work,

1047
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, there are third party apps that might be

1048
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: able to kind of like handle this. I don't know

1049
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: when off the top of my head. But like when

1050
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: I I wanted my Samsung screen to light up when

1051
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: I got a notification, I literally search for an app

1052
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: and I found one that would light up the screen

1053
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: when I get a notification. And so that's the beauty

1054
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 1: of Android is that you can change things like that

1055
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: versus iPhone doesn't really let you do that kind of

1056
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: stuff unless Apple programs it in. So I'm looking at

1057
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: there's like an app called Spoken Notifications that may help

1058
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: where you can have you know that may it looks

1059
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: like that, can you know, give you some notifications. It

1060
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: looks a little old and it hasn't been updated in

1061
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: a while. Let's see last update in March seventh, twenty

1062
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 1: twenty four. So I might check that and see, because

1063
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: that would you can probably program that or a similar

1064
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: app to say, hey, when I get a notification, tell

1065
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: me through the through the audio, you know.

1066
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 3: And what was the name of that app?

1067
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: Spoken Notifications by w d WD in Formatica, So you

1068
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's got a one hundred thousand downloads, it's

1069
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: got decent review, it was recently update uploaded, updated, So

1070
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: you might try something like that, and again it says,

1071
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: you know, this app uses the device administrator permission, so

1072
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: you have to be you know, whenever you do something

1073
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 1: like this, you do have to be aware of the

1074
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: privacy implications of this because this app, you know, you

1075
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: got to put a little trust into it. But the

1076
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: good news is you're on an Android. There's a way

1077
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: to do this, and I think it's going to be

1078
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: in your your audio settings, your notification settings, or your

1079
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: Bluetooth settings, and somehow you just have to get that

1080
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 1: toggle switch where it's going to route that information through

1081
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: your Bluetooth and not through or through your phone and

1082
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: not through the Bluetooth. There used to be when I

1083
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: was listening to when I had my one of my

1084
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: phones connected to my car, I had to toggle a

1085
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: switch every time I connected a new phone to my

1086
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: car to make sure that the audio routed through the

1087
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: bluetooth and not through you know, just nothing. So again,

1088
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: that's that's the problem, is that your phone is on

1089
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: the Bluetooth and that's that's the issue there. So once

1090
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: you get past that, figure out how to get around it,

1091
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: you'll be just fine, and I think you will with

1092
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: a with an Android phone. The other thing to look

1093
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: into is Samsung has an app called routines they have

1094
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: like these routines built in. You can maybe use that

1095
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: to build a routine that would also alert you when

1096
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: you get a notification. I check that first before you

1097
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: download any app. All right, Michael, thanks for the call

00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: rich On Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you,

1105
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: talking technology at Triple eight rich one oh one eighty

1106
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. Got

1107
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: a message from my little brother Justin. He's been on

1108
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: this show before. My mom spilled coffee on her computer

1109
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: this week. Just a reminder, by the way, when you

1110
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: have an open coffee cup near your computer keyboard, you

1111
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: are going to knock that coffee cup over and spill

1112
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: it all over your keyboard. It's guaranteed. It has happened

1113
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: to me, it happened to my mom, it's happened to everyone.

1114
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: You will knock over your cup of coffee every single time.

1115
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: So it happened to her and now her laptop. She

1116
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: was all worried about it, and I told her, I said,

1117
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, turn it off, air it out, put it

1118
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: upside down, let everything kind of come out of it.

1119
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: And everything's working according to my brother who went over

1120
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: to troubleshoot, but the touch pad is shot. And so

1121
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: he told me he disabled the touchpad and plugged in

1122
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: an external mouse and voila, it works again. So I said,

1123
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: you should be hosting this show. I mean, why not anyway,

1124
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: justin thanks for doing that. And just remember if you

1125
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: have a coffee cup near your computer, I always put

1126
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: it like just outside. Like I look where my hands

1127
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: move when I go near the laptop keyboard, and I

1128
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: put my coffee cup away like outside of that range,

1129
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: because you will knock it over if it's inside that range.

1130
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 1: All right, Joining me now, Antonio, Uh, this is a

1131
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: Business Insiders Tech and Electronics Senior reporter Antonio villis Boas.

1132
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

1133
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: He's going to talk about comparing Mint mobile and Tello Mobile.

1134
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: Antonio, Welcome to the show.

1135
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 13: Hey Rich, thanks for having me.

1136
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: By the way, I gotta say, I love Business Insider

1137
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: great publication. I remember, I'm trying to remember what the

1138
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: name was it like Silicon Alley Insider or something.

1139
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 2: What was it called before Business Insider?

1140
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, Chilly com Alley Inside or something like that. Yeah, right,

1141
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 13: that was like then I switched over, then I switched

1142
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 13: again to Insider, and then back to back the Business Insider.

1143
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 1: Anyway, but you know, yeah, I like what you guys

1144
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: do there. So let's talk about what made you compare

1145
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: these two carriers? What was your thought on what why

1146
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: why compare these two?

1147
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 13: Well, you know, I think there's a lot of value

1148
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 13: and in checking out you know, cheaper, less expensive options

1149
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 13: for everyone. And there's also value in sort of showing

1150
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 13: people or revealings that the people a carrier that they

1151
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 13: may not know that much about, like Tello for example.

1152
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 13: I think Mint has some pretty good visibility out there,

1153
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 13: you know a lot of publicity and marketing, you know,

1154
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 13: with Ryan Reynolds on board and et cetera. So you

1155
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 13: know a lot of people think about Mint, but you know,

1156
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 13: maybe for some people just maybe another carrier has you know,

1157
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 13: a better option.

1158
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: So with Mint Mobile and Tellomobile. So most people are

1159
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: on these big, giant, unlimited plans that are pricey from

1160
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 1: the main carriers, right, which is fine if you're you know,

1161
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: business person whatever, you need all that hot spot and stuff,

1162
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: but sometimes you don't need as much data.

1163
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 2: Do people use as much data as they think?

1164
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 13: I think, you know, that's going to depend for everybody, man.

1165
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 13: I mean it's so you know, there's so many variables.

1166
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 13: But I think a lot of people might be surprised

1167
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 13: they think they need this big unlimited plan, and you

1168
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 13: might be you know, check out your bill and you'll

1169
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 13: be surprised by kind of how little data you use.

1170
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 13: I use, you know, let's say I think they used

1171
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 13: last I checked, twelve gigabytes. I mean, you know, to

1172
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 13: be fair, I'm not commuting in every day, so I'm

1173
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 13: not you know, on my phone, you know, during rush

1174
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 13: hour or whatever. But still check out your bill and

1175
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 13: see how much you actually use.

1176
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 2: And I think, but it's.

1177
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 13: Good to have. I think people feel a safety net

1178
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 13: with the unlimited plans. You know, you kind of get

1179
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 13: a buffer, you kind of get this feeling you're not

1180
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 13: going to get paid over overages if you go over

1181
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 13: your data limited and that kind of thing. So I

1182
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 13: think that's why a lot of people go towards those

1183
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 13: unlimited plans.

1184
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just paying more every month for that privilege.

1185
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, now okay, So so give me kind of

1186
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: the skinny on Mint and Tello, Like, what what do

1187
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: these offer that the big guys might not.

1188
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 13: I mean, at the end of the day, at lower prices,

1189
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 13: you know, to put it very simply, they they have

1190
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 13: sort of various sort of limited plans, I should say

1191
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,479
Speaker 13: very limited. They're they're sort of they let you pick

1192
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 13: how much data you you know, you want on to

1193
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 13: how much according to how much you think you're used.

1194
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 13: So that's basically, you know, the skinny on Mint and Tello.

1195
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: So what I like about Tello is that what I

1196
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: like about Mint is, you know, obviously they're own by

1197
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: T Mobile now, so that's a bit of a change.

1198
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: But I like that it's very simple, it works, it's

1199
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: on T mobiles network. The pricing plans are pretty easy

1200
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: to understand. Obviously if you appreciate their marketing. It's kind

1201
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: of fun. You feel like you're on board with like

1202
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: a kind of a challenger in the space.

1203
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 2: Right.

1204
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: What I like about Tello is that they let you

1205
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: customize your plan, So talk about that a little bit.

1206
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: You can have like a plan that literally has no

1207
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: data and just has like calling and texting, right, yeah, you.

1208
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 13: Saw that, right. I love this about Tello. It's really

1209
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 13: unique in the space. I can't say I've seen it

1210
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 13: from other carriers, but yeah, it's called the bill your

1211
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,959
Speaker 13: own Plan, And yeah, you can actually get a plan

1212
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 13: with no data and you know between one hundred I

1213
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 13: think one hundred five hundred unlimited minutes that kind of thing.

1214
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 13: A voice man that is literally voice calls, which is

1215
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 13: funny because we haven't seen a limit on voice calls

1216
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 13: in a while, right, right, so right, yeah, so but

1217
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 13: you know you can customize that, like, you know, I

1218
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 13: don't make that many calls and then maybe I use

1219
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,439
Speaker 13: a giga data a month or whatever. I really don't

1220
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 13: use that much. So okay, I'll do that. I'm going

1221
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 13: to do a plan with one giga data. I'm gonna

1222
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 13: do a plan and I'm gonna put one hundred voice

1223
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 13: minutes in there, and you can literally pay. You know,

1224
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 13: it's incredible to think about a single digit phone bill,

1225
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 13: you know, nine dollars per month, which is wild to

1226
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 13: think about today.

1227
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you have let's say you have

1228
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: like a loved one that you are. You know, maybe

1229
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,919
Speaker 1: they're they just stay at home, they're on Wi Fi

1230
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: all the time. You have an old iPhone or whatever.

1231
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: You can give them a plan for like seven bucks

1232
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: a month and then you know they're using just Wi

1233
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: Fi in the house for the data and then they

1234
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: can call and text you, you know, if they want to,

1235
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: and yeah, it kind of be a landline. Yeah exactly.

1236
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: So how did you test out these services? What did

1237
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: you do and what was your findings.

1238
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 13: I mean, I kind of use them as my own,

1239
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 13: like my own services for a while. I did not

1240
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 13: pour my number that is, you know, maybe we'll get

1241
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 13: into that later, but you know, I use them as

1242
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 13: my own. I take them out for.

1243
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 2: A week or two.

1244
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 13: Mostly around the two weeks period, I do speed tests

1245
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 13: at various locations, you know, in town, out more on

1246
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 13: the Boonie, somewhere closer to the city, in the city

1247
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 13: just and you know, I can do the official like

1248
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 13: speed test, and then I just do stuff that everyone

1249
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 13: else does, like you know, scrolling through Instagram or streaming

1250
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 13: YouTube video and music or that kind of thing, making

1251
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 13: phone calls, sending texts, so really just using it kind

1252
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 13: of like how I think anyone else.

1253
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: Is and what were your conclusions? What conclusions did you

1254
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: come to? Should people switch to these things?

1255
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 13: Well, there that is a question, rich, So you know,

1256
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 13: there can be a lot of merit or a lot

1257
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 13: of good reasons to go to Man and Tello. There's

1258
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 13: a lot of reasons to stick to a major carrier too,

1259
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 13: like T Mobile or Verizon or whoever, or AT and T.

1260
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 13: But yeah, there's like, you know, there's what's the biggest downside.

1261
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 13: What's the biggest downside of switching to something like this?

1262
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 13: So we know the upside is you save a lot

1263
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 13: of money, right.

1264
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 2: Right, that's the that's the upside.

1265
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 13: So okay, you can depend for some people for example,

1266
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 13: like you know, on a major carrier T Mobile or Rizon,

1267
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 13: AT and T, you get a lot more hot spot

1268
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 13: data usually, right, people value that, And that's actually a

1269
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 13: way that carriers make a lot of their money is

1270
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 13: hotspot data. And another upside of going with you know,

1271
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 13: sticking with the major carriers is smart watch and tablet connectivity,

1272
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 13: isn't it?

1273
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:48,439
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1274
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 13: Right, so yeah, meant and Tello, I don't believe have

1275
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 13: a lot of options if any last time I checked

1276
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 13: for smart watch or tablets.

1277
01:00:58,640 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 2: Now that's if you have.

1278
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Just just to be clear, that's if you have a

1279
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: cellular watch, right, so you're your regular Apple watch, if

1280
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: it's just connected to your phone, it will work as

1281
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: it typically does. But this is for someone who has

1282
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: a cellular watch like myself that wants to go on

1283
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: a run without their phone and have their texts and

1284
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: calls still come through and data. So that's the difference there.

1285
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: A lot of these mv and o's do not have that.

1286
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: I think the only one I know that does is

1287
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: is Visible allows and they actually include that in their

1288
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: top in their main plan. Okay, so you have to

1289
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: think about that. What about international data international plans?

1290
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 13: Yes, some major carriers or most major carriers have some

1291
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 13: pretty decent you know, international sort of features.

1292
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 2: Usually almost every every carrier.

1293
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 13: Has something from Mexico and Canada, like there's something there

1294
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 13: you can talk, you can call there and call back

1295
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 13: texts and that kind of thing. It's usually okay, but

1296
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 13: you know, and Minton Tello actually have pretty good international

1297
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 13: open Actually sorry I should say Mints does really.

1298
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 2: Uh you know, they have sort of three set.

1299
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 13: Plans for varying amounts of days and data data and

1300
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 13: calls and texts and it's actually pretty good value. And

1301
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 13: I was looking at it myself and I was like,

1302
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 13: maybe for my next chip, this is kind of a

1303
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 13: good thing. Tello has options too. It's kind of like

1304
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 13: a flat rate depending on which country you visit, but

1305
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 13: it can cost the value is not there. That's just saying.

1306
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Interesting there, so that's not good if you travel a lot.

1307
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: And finally, customer service, because that's another thing. People like

1308
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: to be able to walk into a store and get

1309
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: help if they need it, you know, with Verizon, T Mobile,

1310
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: AT and T with these two carriers, now Mint, I'm

1311
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: not sure with their you know, can you walk into

1312
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: a T Mobile store? I don't know because I know

1313
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: they're owned by them now, but I don't think that's

1314
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: the case. But you have to kind of you're on

1315
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: your own, right.

1316
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's kind Yeah, that's a good question about Mint

1317
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 13: and whether you can just go head into a T

1318
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 13: Mobile store. But yeah, that's that's one of the huge

1319
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 13: things about major retailers or major carriers, sorry, is that

1320
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 13: you can go to a physical store. It's kind of

1321
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 13: like why I really like, you know, Apple iPhones, even

1322
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 13: for someone who might like really like Android phones, there's

1323
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 13: something about having a physical store to go to if

1324
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 13: you have a problem. That's just so, you know, really

1325
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 13: reassuring and good to have. But yeah, no, I mean

1326
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 13: in terms of support. Actually, you know, Minton Tello have

1327
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 13: a pretty decent little system going on. You know, they

1328
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 13: have pretty good apps. Mint has a very good app,

1329
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 13: i should say. And you can get in touch with

1330
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 13: someone on the phone pretty easily, which I've tried myself.

1331
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 13: You can do a little chat service so you can

1332
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 13: talk to someone pretty quickly, and actually it's easier. I

1333
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 13: found it easier to get in touch with an actual

1334
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 13: person on Minton Tello than it was through you know, Verizon,

1335
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 13: which is what I'm currently using for now.

1336
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's getting tougher and tougher on the on

1337
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: the traditional carriers to reach someone in person, which is

1338
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: kind of funny. Antonio, We're gonna leave it there, Antonio

1339

01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro. Here lots

1348
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: of feedback on the caller who was blind and needed

1349
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: some help with transferring documents. Let's see Melody says in

1350
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: your show, you were contacted by a caller who was

1351
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: trying to get info off a CD didn't have a

1352
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: disk drive. Refer her to local Council for the to

1353
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: her local Council for the Blind, and they would help

1354
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: her resolve her problem. They have multiple resources for her

1355
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: to tap into. There you go, Counsel for the Blind.

1356
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

1357
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: And then Teresa says, you can have her reach out

1358
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: to the Braille Institute in Santa Barbara. They have very

1359
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,959
Speaker 1: significant resources in the tech world for blind people these days.

1360
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: There you go, thanks Teresa. Yeah, I mean that's that's

1361
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: kind of what I was getting at. It has to

1362
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: be some sort of community help because you know, I

1363
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: don't You're not going to buy a new computer just

1364
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: to do this.

1365
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta lean on someone.

1366
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 11: Uh.

1367
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 2: Did we just play that?

1368
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 4: Did you play?

1369
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1370
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 2: That's how I said that. That was definitely lean on me. See,

1371
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 2: this is how the brain works. I look like I

1372
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 2: wouldn't have said those words.

1373
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: Oh man, okay, Uh let's see Rich Randy said, I

1374
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: wonder what took you so long? And using these echoes.

1375
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: I have seven of them scattered all over the house.

1376
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 1: I have several groups depending on how I want to

1377
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: spread the content and where I have them in sync.

1378
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure you give them different names like I do,

1379
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: so they respond to my command when I'm speaking to another.

1380
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: I get clear sound even on the older models, but

1381
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: I do know the premium ones are more vibrant, which

1382
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: I do not have. Uh yeah, I'm wondering whether you

1383
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: bought the more expensive or the very basic. I'm buying

1384
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: them all. So I've got they've got like three different levels.

1385
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: They've got like the tiny little dots, then and they've

1386
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: got the Echo. Then they've got the Echo Premium, and

1387
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: they've got that one giant soundbar or sound whatever you

1388
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: call it.

1389
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 2: It's like two hundred bucks.

1390
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna eventually get them all, but I'm doing it,

1391
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, I do things slow, so I'm getting like

1392
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: one every week. Thanks for that, Randy. Let's go to

1393
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: John in more Park. John, you're on with Rich.

1394
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, Hi, Rich, Hi, thank you for taking my call.

1395
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 12: I have I've had for seventeen years. I've had an

1396
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 12: iPhone through AT and t okay, and I've just turned

1397
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 12: eighty one. And I was thinking that in case I

1398
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 12: fall in the shower, I was thinking it might be

1399
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 12: an idea to get some kind of device to protect me. Yeah,

1400
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 12: I was thinking whether a choice between an Apple walch

1401
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 12: versus a metal alert watch. Apparently the two compete.

1402
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 11: With each other.

1403
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 12: One goes through the Apple system, the other goes through

1404
01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 12: the Metal Alert system. Do you have an opinion as to, uh,

1405
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 12: which is a better viable choice?

1406
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: So the meta alert is that the brand name med alerts.

1407
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 12: A brand name. Okay, yeah, you're about ten different brands

1408
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 12: out there. Met Alert, I think, is the one that's talented. Okay,

1409
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 12: you're so Valley More Park Area. But they're all more

1410
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 12: or less competitive.

1411
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: So my my thought on this is if you want

1412
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: something that's simple and dedicated and doesn't really now how much.

1413
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: See here's the thing. This meta alert watch is about

1414
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty bucks. How much is the plan?

1415
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 2: Okay?

1416
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 5: Uh?

1417
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 2: After the first year?

1418
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so the first year is included the four G

1419
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: so that's good. After the first year, you have to

1420
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: renew for twelve months at seventy five dollars.

1421
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good deal.

1422
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 1: So my thought is that if you just want something

1423
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: simple and easy and you don't want to have to

1424
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: deal with the whole connection to the Apple iPhone and

1425
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff, I would say that this meta alert

1426
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: looks pretty good. If you want all the extra features

1427
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: that you get with an iPhone and an Apple Watch,

1428
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: then maybe go with the Apple Watch. The battery life,

1429
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: let's see, so the battery life, how long is the

1430
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: battery on this thing?

1431
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 2: Oh, up to one hundred hours. That's like four days.

1432
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 2: Let's see.

1433
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 12: Well, I already I already have an iPhone. I've had

1434
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 12: an iPhone for seventeen years.

1435
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I assume I just.

1436
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 12: Buy on my Apple Watch. How much does an Apple Watch?

1437
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 12: The extra got to cost me.

1438
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 2: About three hundred bucks. But here's the thing.

1439
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: So with the fall detection on the Apple Watch, if

1440
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 1: you want it to work everywhere you are and anywhere

1441
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: you are, even if your phone is not nearby, you

1442
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: have to get a cellular Apple Watch, which is a

1443
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: little bit more, and then you have to pay ten

1444
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: bucks usually ten to twenty dollars a month for that cellular.

1445
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 12: So you have to pay extra for a cellular Apple Watch.

1446
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,839
Speaker 1: If okay, so let's just say you're in the shower,

1447
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: your iPhone, your you have the Apple Watch on, and

1448
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: the iPhone is nearby within range of the Apple Watch.

1449
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: If you fell in that shower, your Apple Watch would

1450
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 1: still communicate via bluetooth to your phone and say, okay,

1451
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: let's call nine one one.

1452
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 2: Okay, that would work.

1453
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: But if your phone was in a different room or

1454
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: it was too far away from your Apple Watch, it

1455
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: may not make that connection. And that's what I'm concerned about.

1456
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: So that's why when you have a cellular Apple Watch,

1457
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: if you're specifically using it for sort of the emergency services,

1458
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 1: that's what you want because it's it's gonna work no

1459
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: matter what. It's gonna work because it has its own

1460
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: connection two nine one one.

1461
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 12: It doesn't that that's what I want. I'll just go

1462
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 12: Can I go to the AT and D store and

1463
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 12: buy a cellular Apple Watch from them?

1464
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, absolutely, and they'll they'll be happy to sell

1465
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 2: you that.

1466
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 12: Oh I don't care about three hundred and fifty dollars.

1467
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 12: That makes yeah difference to me.

1468
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: I can afford that now are you do you are

1469
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: you like, do you do any fitness stuff? Do you

1470
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: walk or any do you do you care about any

1471
01:09:58,439 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: of the fitness.

1472
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 12: Features W I had problems with my knees. Okay, I dive,

1473
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 12: but I don't do a lot of walking.

1474
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, look the Apple Watch.

1475
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 1: If you get an Apple Watch cellular, you set up

1476
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: the fall detection, it's going to do what you need

1477
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: to do, and if you ever took a fall, hard fall,

1478
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: it's going to dial nine one one. It's not perfect

1479
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: it you know, it's not one hundred percent, but you'll

1480
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:21,600
Speaker 1: also be able to set it up where if you

1481
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: need emergency medical assistance, you can press the button on

1482
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: there five times fast and it will dial nine one

1483
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: one for you. You can alert your emergency contacts if

1484
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: you need that. It'll monitor your heart rate. If you

1485
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: know something goes high low there, you can it'll send

1486
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: you a notification. So the Apple Watch is going to

1487
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 1: be if you have an iPhone, you've had it for

1488
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: seventeen years, you're pretty familiar with this technology. I think

1489
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,560
Speaker 1: that yeah, I think maybe you just go with the

1490
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,560
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, and I think you'll find some other benefits

1491
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: to the Apple Watch as well that you probably wouldn't

1492
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: get from the metal alert device.

1493
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 12: And and I assume the AT and T score, which

1494
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,480
Speaker 12: set it all up for me ring the phone.

1495
01:10:58,240 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 5: And oh yeah, I can stay here.

1496
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: They'll they'll take that right, Yeah, they'll take that extra

1497
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 1: step with you. Yeah, go to the AT and T store,

1498
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: get the watch, and good thinking. I always wonder about that.

1499
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: You know, you're in the shower. In Europe, they've got

1500
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,679
Speaker 1: these like pull strings you can pull that'll file for help.

1501
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 2: What would you do if you're alone? You just gotta

1502
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:17,400

Speaker 2: Oh this was interesting.

1549
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: So this week was my birthday and a bunch of

1550
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: people called me. No one was able to leave a message,

1551
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: apparently because my voicemail was full, and I didn't realize

1552
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: this until someone told me, and I ended up clearing

1553
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 1: out the voicemail. I had all these voicemails saved on

1554
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: my phone for safekeeping, and what were they? All the

1555
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: old birthday wishes I had from over the years. So

1556

Speaker 1: all of those voicemails, get them off your voicemail server

1560
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,679
Speaker 1: to free them up and have him for safekeeping forever.

1569
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: an email from Mary. She said, Hey, Rich, we're big fans.

1570
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,679
Speaker 1: I get the newsletter and I listen to you every Saturday.

1571
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: I hate to be a Karen, But the caller who

1572
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: called in because he wasn't getting alerted to his text

1573
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: while driving, is it really a good thing to be

1574
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: texting and driving? It is illegal, right? I agree, Mary,

1575
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: Yes you should not be texting and driving. But here's

1576
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: the deal. He wanted to be alerted when he got

1577
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: a text, and so yes, that would lead me to

1578
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: believe that he wants to hear that text or somehow

1579
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: interact with the text.

1580
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 2: Now, I agree.

1581
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: I think that these the safest thing with your phone

1582
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 1: is to not be using it at all while you're driving.

1583
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 1: The reality is people do use their phones in safe ways,

1584
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: which is CarPlay, Android Auto using your voice. But I

1585
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: think that any level of using your phone in the

1586
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: car is distracting. And I even find myself I have

1587
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: my phone set to do not disturb while driving, and

1588
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: I have all notifications sort of turned off, so I

1589
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: don't even get tempted by them because here in La,

1590
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't know about your town. But what happens is

1591
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: not only do I see everyone on their phone while

1592
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: they're driving, which it is illegal, but when people come

1593
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: to a stop light, what do they do? They pull

1594
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 1: out their phone and then you get that person at

1595
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,639
Speaker 1: the stop light that's on their phone. The light changes

1596
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: green and they just stopped there. And nine times out

1597
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: of ten, what are they doing. They're just checking their Instagram,

1598
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: their social media. Please be safe, And you're also distracted

1599
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: when you're doing that, you know you're not focusing on

1600
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 1: the task at hand. And I'll be honest, I'm guilty

1601
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 1: of this myself sometimes where I just want to, you know,

1602
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 1: look at my phone or see what's happening right, see

1603
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: notification come through on my screen. It lights up, and

1604
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: I really have to fight the urge, and I say,

1605
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't need to do that.

1606
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 2: Right now.

1607
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: I need to focus on driving, keeping myself alive, keeping

1608
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: the people around me alive, not crashing.

1609
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 2: And it's it's tough.

1610
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 1: Our phones are very, very distracting in every aspect of

1611
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: our lives. You're working, you're trying to write something, you're

1612
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: trying to do something. So you get that notification. Next

1613
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: thing you know, you're you're off and you check that notification,

1614
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you start checking other things

1615
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:28,879
Speaker 1: on your phone.

1616
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 2: We all do it.

1617
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to uh Lonnie in Riverside, Lonnie, you're on

1618
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 1: with rich.

1619
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 2: Hello, Lonnie? Are you there? Did I do?

1620
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 5: Hello?

1621
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 4: One?

1622
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 2: There you are? You're on, You're live on.

1623
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 4: Get a little static in there. I have an issue.

1624
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 4: I have I fourteen and I use that phone quat

1625
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 4: for my driving for the Google Maps. In the last

1626
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 4: couple of weeks, if not keeping up the date, keeping

1627
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 4: up to where I'm I my location, and it keeps

1628
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 4: paying proceed to root, proceed to root. And it just

1629
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 4: happened boom one day I started doing that.

1630
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 2: Okay, it's sun.

1631
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: It sounds like you somehow either your phone either stopped

1632
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: giving it access to the GPS and that that's my

1633
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: initial thoughts. So there's a couple of things you can do.

1634
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: First off, you can go to your Yeah, this is

1635
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 1: Google Maps on your iPhone, you.

1636
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 4: Said, right, I mean it's the issue of tucted maps.

1637
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 4: But it's my phone.

1638
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's your phone. I think, well, have

1639
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: you tried to Have you tried Apple Maps? Does that work?

1640
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 4: I haven't?

1641
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So first thing I would do just make sure

1642
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: the GPS is actually working on your phone. So type

1643
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: in maps on your phone. You should have Apple Maps there.

1644
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: And you know the thing with any mapping program. So

1645
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things that happen. Number one, your

1646
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 1: phone could get out of sync with the GPS if

1647
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 1: it doesn't have a clear signal. Sometimes it could be laggy.

1648
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 1: Like when I was in New York City. I'm not kidding.

1649
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: I was walking and my phone could not get a

1650
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: lock on the GPS. I'd never had that happen before,

1651
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: and I said, what the heck is going on here?

1652
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: And my friend that I was walking with, he's like, oh,

1653
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,680
Speaker 1: I've got a Samsung, let me try it online. And

1654
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 1: he was like cause he kept like saying, Rich, what's

1655
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 1: going on? You can't like, you can't follow maps on

1656
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: your phone. I said, I've never had this problem in

1657
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: my life. I go, I feel like we're in a

1658
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: magnetic like black hole here, because it's just my phone

1659
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: will not work. And so he took out his phone seriously,

1660
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 1: and within three minutes he was like, Rich, I can't

1661
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: get my maps either, Like I don't know what's going

1662
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:36,639
Speaker 1: on anyway, So that could happen. Now, it depends you're

1663
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,800
Speaker 1: in Riverside. You know, you're in a car, you got

1664
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: wide open spaces. It's you know, that's probably not the issue.

1665
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: But the thing is you can tap if you ever

1666
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: need to do this, you can tap on the blue

1667
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: dot on Google Maps and that will help your phone

1668
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: get a lock on GPS. And sometimes it might say, hey,

1669
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: can you do a figure eight with your phone, and

1670
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:58,440
Speaker 1: that will help your phone figure out where the GPS

1671
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: is and get a better lock on the satellite signals.

1672
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 1: So that's number one. Number two. When you're on your map,

1673
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: sometimes you get turned around or you turn off that

1674
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: little icon that says follow me, and that is the

1675
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: icon in the right side.

1676
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 2: Of your phone.

1677
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: It looks like an arrow icon, and so if you

1678
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 1: tap that, if you toggle it, that should also help

1679
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: you get a lock on where your directions are and

1680
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 1: where you're heading, and sometimes it'll bring you back to

1681
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: like where you are and that will recenter everything. The

1682
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: third thing to check is inside your settings. So if

1683
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: you go into settings and then go scroll all the

1684
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: way down until you see Google Maps, and I'm doing

1685
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: this as we speak, and inside Google Maps there is

1686
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: location access, and mine says the options are never, ask

1687
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: next time or when I share while using the app,

1688
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: or always, And then there's a further option that says

1689
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: precise location. What you want this to say is while

1690
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: using the app and precise location. And so if you want,

1691
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,759
Speaker 1: you know, I want Google Maps to always have access

1692
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 1: to your location, even in the background, to get like

1693
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: real time traffic updates and stuff, then I would select always.

1694
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: But for me, I just need Maps to work when

1695
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm actually using the app, So select while using the

1696
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: app and precise location. Now, Lannie, if all of those

1697
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: things are selected on your phone and Maps is still

1698
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: not working, what I would do is delete the Maps

1699
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 1: app from your phone, restart your phone, reinstall it, and

1700
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: that should take.

1701
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:26,680
Speaker 2: Care of it.

1702
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 1: But those are the things that I would do to

1703
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 1: make sure it's working. But there's no reason why Google

1704
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: Maps would not be working on your phone unless the

1705
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 1: GPS has burned out on your phone. But I think

1706
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: you'll be able to figure that out pretty quickly when

1707
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: you open up Yeah point, but start, yes, very much.

1708
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: Start by checking that Apple Maps. Make sure that works.

1709
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: And who knows, maybe when you open Apple Maps you'll say, oh,

1710
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 1: I'm in love with this, I'll just switch to Apple Maps.

1711
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 2: That's what Apple wants you to do.

1712
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I know people literally that think they're using

1713
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: Google Maps and they're actually using Apple Maps. Because you know,

1714
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: how do you know that? Unless you're like a tech person,

1715
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 1: you really don't most of the time. Samsung and LG

1716
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,679
Speaker 1: News this week for their smart TV Samsung promised five

1717
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: years of updates for their web os. They're celebrating let's

1718
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: see ten years of webOS. That's their kind of like

1719
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: smart TV system. They're doing a whole bunch of discounts

1720
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: and things on their smart TVs from twenty eighteen and up.

1721
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: Apple Tv three months free trial, Apple Music three months

1722
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 1: free trial paramount plus fifty percent off an annual subscription.

1723
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good deal. Crunchy Roll thirty days free trial.

1724
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 1: webOS will give new TVs five years of updates. Not

1725
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 1: to be outdone, Samsung comes along and says, you know what,

1726
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: We'll take your five years and we'll raise you. We'll

1727
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: do seven years of updates. So now now we have

1728
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 1: these smart TV wars because people use their their TV

1729
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:56,679
Speaker 1: for the smarts. They download the apps instead of getting

1730
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 1: like a third party Roku or Fire TV stick or

1731
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:01,600
Speaker 1: Apple TV, they just use what's built in.

1732
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:02,639
Speaker 2: I just switched to mine.

1733
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 1: I've got the high sense, and I just switched to

1734
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: the Google TV built in.

1735
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 2: It's great.

1736
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 11: Now.

1737
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 1: Anyway, that's a whole nother discussion of whether to use

1738
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: the built in or the third party. But anyway, Samsung

1739
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: says they're trying to fend off these Chinese manufacturers, the

1740
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 1: tcls of the world in the high sense because people

1741
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: are switching to them. And so now they're giving seven

1742
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: years of their ties in operating system updates. What they

1743
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 1: used to do is just do a couple of years

1744
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: of updates for their security updates. Now they're actually going

1745
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: to upgrade that entire operating system, the one that powers

1746
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: the smart TVs, because they know that people are using

1747
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 1: their TVs for a long time and they're using that

1748
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: TV software and they want to compete against the likes

1749
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: of Roku and also Google TV, and also Apple TV

1750
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: and what's the other one, Amazon. So it's a lot

1751
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: of stuff, a lot of a lot of things happening here. Anyway,

1752
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: it's a good thing for consumers. We're getting more updates

1753
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: for our gadgets for long. It's a good thing because

1754
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: we're keeping them longer. Eight a eight rich one on

01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,640
Speaker 1: used to wait for the my PC World magazine to

1827
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: come in the mail. This is how old it was.

1828
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: I told you I was getting older. I used to

1829
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: wait for that magazine. In the middle of the magazine,

1830
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: they must have bought out all the pages. It was

1831
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,439

01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: it off of my house, horse and buggy, and it

1835
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: was just, oh my gosh. I used to flip right

1836
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: to that page that the center of the magazine, and

1837
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,799
Speaker 1: they had all these ads for Gateway two thousand.

1838
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 2: Anyway, go ahead, Patty, what's your question?

1839
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 9: And so so I have.

1840
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 14: Original music on there that I want to get off.

1841
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 14: But the computer, because they didn't listen to me, is

1842
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 14: infected with a trojan horse. When you turn the computer on,

1843
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 14: it says it'll clear it, So it clears it and

1844
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 14: then I can listen to the music. But I want

1845
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:45,680
Speaker 14: to I just want to get it off there and

1846
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 14: transfer it and I wonder does that mean that I

1847
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 14: would be transferring that Trojan horse to whatever I put

1848
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 14: the music on.

1849
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 2: Good question.

1850
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it depends how you know, how far that virus

1851
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,600
Speaker 1: is around that come. I yeah, I would definitely be

1852
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 1: be careful. I think what you can do is probably

1853
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:06,760
Speaker 1: boot this computer into a into safe mode.

1854
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 2: Have you heard of that?

1855
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 8: Uh?

1856
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:08,839
Speaker 12: Huh?

1857
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: And you know, first off, well, this computer is not

1858
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: connected to the internet, is it Okay? So I would

1859
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: just boot it into safe mode and then transfer the

1860
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: files that way, and then once you get them on

1861
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: the new computer, I would maybe transfer one and you know,

1862
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: maybe run like a virus check on it, and then

1863
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, see where, see where it's at, see if

1864
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 1: it comes up with anything. And then if it doesn't,

1865
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, I would transfer them all to a flask

1866
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 1: drive and that should be good. The thing is, if

1867
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,719
Speaker 1: you're if you're only like transferring these files like these,

1868
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:40,680
Speaker 1: uh you know, like the main like are they m

1869
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: P three's or.

1870
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 14: What I think they're m P three's, it's not a

1871
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 14: a system called fat.

1872
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 8: Noise P H A T.

1873
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't know your parents sound cool, I don't know.

1874
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: That's if they're they got something fat with a pH

1875
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:00,680
Speaker 1: then they're cool. So uh but yeah, I would I

1876
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: would just transfer just the MP three's and once you

1877
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 1: get them, you know, onto a flash drive, I would

1878
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: scan that flash drive with the new with the other

1879
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: computer and see if anything comes up on the virus checker,

1880
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: and then if not, you know, you should be okay.

1881
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 1: But I would also maybe just drag them into the cloud.

1882
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 1: And I think your cloud storage, I mean, it's probably

1883
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 1: the virus is probably not gonna be attached to these

1884
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 1: files unless it's in the file and it's inexecutable. So

1885
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 1: I think you're probably gonna be okay. But I would

1886
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,639
Speaker 1: take those steps I mentioned. Thanks for the question, Patty.

1887
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna help you choose the best streaming

1888
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 1: service for sports. Right after this, welcome back to rich

1889
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 1: on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you talking technology.

1890
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 1: The website for the show rich on Tech dot tv.

1891
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,719
Speaker 1: There you can get in touch, look at the links

1892
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 1: that I mentioned and all kinds of stuff. It's all

1893
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 1: on the website right there. Tom Hanks has a warning

1894
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:02,759
Speaker 1: about a generated video ads. He took to his Instagram

1895
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:06,719
Speaker 1: to say, if you saw some videos promoting miracle cures

1896
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,920
Speaker 1: and wonder drugs. It's not me, And he said that

1897
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 1: he has nothing to do with these ads or the

1898
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 1: products they're promoting. He did say, and I did not

1899
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: know this, that he has type two diabetes and works

1900
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 1: with his doctor for treatment. He does not use all

1901
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: these things that they were talking about in these ads.

1902
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: So he urged folks not to be fooled or swindled

1903
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: and not to lose their money on these fake products.

1904
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:30,879
Speaker 1: It's not the first time he's done this. In October,

1905
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 1: he warned about an AI generated video promoting a dental plan. Man, AI,

1906
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this idea of misinformation thanks to AI

1907
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:42,920
Speaker 1: is going to get worse and worse. I will tell

1908
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 1: you I have the AI image generation on the pixel phone.

1909
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:50,839
Speaker 1: It is absolutely incredible, Like you can generate any picture.

1910
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: Well it's not perfect, but it's really really good. And

1911
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 1: when we get to a level of video with this stuff,

1912
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be like really tough to tell the difference.

1913
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:03,840
Speaker 1: So when something seems too good to be true, this

1914
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:05,800
Speaker 1: is whereas humans we still have to go to that.

1915
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,720
Speaker 1: You know that age old adage, if something seems too

1916
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 1: good to be true, it probably is. If someone's sending

1917
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 1: you an email, saying, Hey, give me fifty grand, or

1918
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 1: give me ten grand so I can send you fifty,

1919
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 1: or let me send you fifty so I can set whatever.

1920
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:23,800
Speaker 1: However that scam works, it's a scam. Don't fall for it.

1921
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 1: Just in time for football season, Apple Sports is updating

1922
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 1: their iPhone app.

1923
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 2: So this app launched. I don't if it was earlier

1924
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 2: this year.

1925
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 10: I guess.

1926
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,680
Speaker 1: It's a very simple app for the iPhone provides real

1927
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:42,800
Speaker 1: time scores, stats, and more for various sports. They are

1928
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:45,479
Speaker 1: adding new features in time for NFL and college football.

1929
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:49,000
Speaker 1: Enhanced play by play with quick access to scoring drives,

1930
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 1: a dynamic drive tracker so you can see where the

1931
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 1: ball is on the field. You can follow the top

1932
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:59,080
Speaker 1: twenty five college football teams, real time score stats, and

1933
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 1: live betting odds.

1934
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,759
Speaker 2: And this is a moment of contention.

1935
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 1: Not everyone likes the betting odds inside this app, so

1936
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 1: you can turn those off if you want. All right,

1937
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: looks like our guest is here joining me now? Is

1938
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: let's see Hold on, I gotta mute some stuff here

1939
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 1: because I am Let's see there we go. Joining me

1940
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: now is the TV answer man Philip Swan. Welcome to

1941
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:25,959
Speaker 1: the show, Philip How are you. I'm doing fantastic.

1942
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:29,760
Speaker 11: I was back to your call, but don't worry about it.

1943
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we used to call our guests and now we

1944
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 1: just kind of use Google Meet because it's easier. So

1945
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 1: thanks for joining me no matter what. So I ended

1946
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 1: up selecting my sports streaming service before I spoke to you.

1947
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 1: I hope I made the right decision. So for us,

1948
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:48,839
Speaker 1: first off, let's talk about this idea of the streaming.

1949
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 1: How where do we stand, Like, you know, the games,

1950
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 1: they're kind of everywhere nowadays.

1951
01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 10: They are, I mean, sports streaming right now is so

1952
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 10: byzantine busit team being basically or split in so many

1953
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 10: different ways. It's really hard for people to follow it

1954
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 10: figure out what's on what service and when, and how

1955
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:09,719
Speaker 10: much it cost and how long.

1956
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 11: You should keep these services. So it's a very confusing

1957
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 11: time for a lot of folks.

1958
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 1: And it's so confusing that I mentioned and I'm sure

1959
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 1: you saw this obviously. ESPN this week came out with

1960
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,679
Speaker 1: their you know where to watch service, which is great,

1961
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 1: and then you also have Fubo has one, and then

1962
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of different places you can

1963
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:29,840
Speaker 1: try to see where the game is on. But it

1964
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:32,400
Speaker 1: still doesn't get around the fact of all of these

1965
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,680
Speaker 1: blackouts and you can't necessarily watch every single game, and

1966
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: some services have it if it's not on the local

1967
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,519
Speaker 1: channel in your area. I mean, it's really Is there

1968
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: anything more confusing than finding your sports game on streaming

1969
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:46,040
Speaker 1: or you know, rock Cable?

1970
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:47,600
Speaker 11: Probably not.

1971
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 10: You know, we've had blackouts for a long time, so

1972
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 10: that's not terribly new. But what is new is that

1973
01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 10: exclusive rights to a lot of these games now. By example,

1974
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:02,479
Speaker 10: the first week of the Packards and Eagles on Friday

1975
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:07,519
Speaker 10: only on Peacock, not even NBC, So you have to

1976
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:11,360
Speaker 10: get Peacock. Peacock doesn't have a free trial, so you're

1977
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 10: going to have to subscribe for at least a month

1978
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 10: just to watch that one single game if it's important

1979
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,680
Speaker 10: to you. So that's the kind of thing that's going on.

1980
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 11: Then a lot of people very frustrated.

1981
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:22,800
Speaker 10: Did you have to get at least a one month

1982
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 10: subscription to something just to watch a single game?

1983
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1984
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: And I remember last year the Chiefs game was on

1985
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Peacock and I think it was exclusive.

1986
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:31,759
Speaker 2: And my wife, you know, she was a big.

1987
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:34,600
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift fan of course, traveled over to Kelsey and

1988
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:36,600
Speaker 1: so I was like, wait, you're telling me that this

1989
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:39,559
Speaker 1: game is on Peacock by like by itself, like it's

1990
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 1: nowhere else, And she's like, yeah, I think it is.

1991
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:43,559
Speaker 1: I said, there's no way, and sure enough, I think

1992
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:44,320
Speaker 1: that's what's happening.

1993
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 11: One hundred and.

1994
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:48,680
Speaker 10: Ten million dollars for the rights of that game. And

1995
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:51,679
Speaker 10: obviously they weren't going to give it away easily.

1996
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 1: No, And then you know Netflix has games, this year's

1997
01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,680
Speaker 1: Prime Video has games. I mean, it's really all over

1998
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: the play So what do you think is the best service?

1999
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: How do we pick the service to subscribe to for

2000
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:07,639
Speaker 1: these games? Like, you can't just go with like YouTube

2001
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 1: or direct TV or Fubo and get all of them.

2002
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,679
Speaker 11: Huh No, you can't.

2003
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 10: And you know, you really couldn't do this before either

2004
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 10: you couldn't get a single cable service or satellite service.

2005
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:20,360
Speaker 11: It would necessarily get you every single game.

2006
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,799
Speaker 10: To get every single game, you'd have to, by example,

2007
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 10: in the old days, get Direct TV in the Sunday

2008
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:28,600
Speaker 10: ticket and pay a lot of money to do it.

2009
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 10: So this is kind of a version of that that

2010
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:34,560
Speaker 10: you have to still spend a lot of money to

2011
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 10: if you really want everything. But basically you got to

2012
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 10: kind of break this down in two different ways. You

2013
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:45,479
Speaker 10: have national sports and regional sports. And if you're looking

2014
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 10: basically for national sports, which would be ESPN, you know,

2015
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:56,720
Speaker 10: FS ONE, Fox, CBS, whatever, you can get pretty much

2016
01:34:56,800 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 10: all of that from YouTube, TV, Direct TVs stream or

2017
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 10: a cable or satellite service.

2018
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:07,320
Speaker 11: But if you're looking for regional sports, or you're looking

2019
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 11: for that exclusive game on Peacock or ESPN plus, that's

2020
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,760
Speaker 11: when it gets complicated and can get expensive.

2021
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:18,840
Speaker 10: And by example, right now, I always say when people

2022
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 10: ask me, what's the one sports service or one service

2023
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 10: streaming service? You get to get all sports? And I

2024
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:28,519
Speaker 10: normally say direct TV stream because they have all the

2025
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 10: national sports networks and they have almost every regional sports network.

2026
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:37,560
Speaker 10: But guess what might happen tomorrow? What they might go

2027
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 10: blackout on the Disney Channel.

2028
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:42,720
Speaker 1: Right because that was the thing with Fubo. I was

2029
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: looking at Fubo yesterday. They don't have any of the

2030
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:47,439
Speaker 1: Warner channels like Food Network. Not that I want to

2031
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 1: watch that, but my wife. If we're paying eighty bucks

2032
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:51,479
Speaker 1: a month for cable, my wife might be like, oh

2033
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 1: cool and I can watch the Food Network.

2034
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:54,679
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, actually, you can't.

2035
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 10: Yeah, if you have Fubo, you're gonna have to get

2036
01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:00,719
Speaker 10: Max or you're gonna have to get some other service

2037
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 10: that has the Turner Networks TV may lose ESPN and

2038
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 10: all the Disney channels. And so if that occurs, I

2039
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:13,679
Speaker 10: won't be saying to people anymore, Hey, get direct TV

2040
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,759
Speaker 10: stream if you're just interested in national and regional sports.

2041
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 2: Now, how do you know if you need Sunday ticket that?

2042
01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 13: If you?

2043
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:21,479
Speaker 1: If you, is it one of those things where like

2044
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: you know when you see it, like you just you

2045
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 1: figure it out. Like if you're if you're living in

2046
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,720
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and you want to follow the Jets, is

2047
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 1: that when you have to have the Sunday ticket.

2048
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:32,799
Speaker 11: Yes, I've said this for years.

2049
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 10: A Sunday ticket is basically set up for the guy

2050
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:39,640
Speaker 10: or a girl who lives in Chicago and was a

2051
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,679
Speaker 10: Dolphins fan and got transplanted for a job or whatever,

2052
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 10: and they boy, they miss their Dolphins and if they

2053
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:46,920
Speaker 10: get the Sunday ticket, they're gonna get it.

2054
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:48,040
Speaker 11: They're gonna get that game.

2055
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:52,040
Speaker 10: There's also, of course, an element for fantasy players and

2056
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 10: gamblers who just simply want to watch a number of

2057
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 10: games because they want to follow how their players do,

2058
01:36:57,360 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 10: either through uh parlays or their.

2059
01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:03,799
Speaker 11: Fancy football teams. And that's a big thing for Sunday tickets,

2060
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:06,840
Speaker 11: a big thing for those folks. So but those are

2061
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,559
Speaker 11: kind of the audiences where the Sunday ticket works best.

2062
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:13,960
Speaker 1: And finally, you know, I saw the the only league

2063
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: that I know of that's done this is MLS. You know,

2064
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,600
Speaker 1: Apple bought the rights to that and they did what

2065
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 1: I've wanted every league to do, which is you buy

2066
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 1: that you know package from Apple, and you get every

2067
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 1: single game. There are no more blockouts. That's just not

2068
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 1: a thing on that service. If you've subscribed, you get everything.

2069
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,160
Speaker 1: Will that ever happen with the major leagues like the

2070
01:37:35,360 --> 01:37:38,560
Speaker 1: NBA and NFL and you know, I don't know what

2071
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:40,000
Speaker 1: else whatever else there is out there.

2072
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:44,919
Speaker 10: It's what Rob Bamford is really pushing forward Major League Baseball.

2073
01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:47,880
Speaker 11: He if he got his Christmas wish this year, it'll

2074
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 11: be the Diamond Sports.

2075
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 10: The owner of the Valley Sports Networks goes bankrupt and

2076
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:55,800
Speaker 10: stays bank well they've already gone bankrupt, but they stay bankrupt,

2077
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 10: and they turned the rights over to the MLB team

2078
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:01,920
Speaker 10: that they have the rights too, and they turn them

2079
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:04,320
Speaker 10: back to the league is man for it wants to

2080
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 10: put together a package that he would sell through MLB

2081
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 10: dot TV that would not have local blackouts, and you know,

2082
01:38:13,040 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 10: you obviously would have to pay for that luxury, but yeah,

2083
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 10: you would be able to do that.

2084
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 11: That's his wish.

2085
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:20,560
Speaker 1: It would make life a whole lot simpler. And I

2086
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:23,679
Speaker 1: think with you know, with the way that this world

2087
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 1: is going with all the streaming, there's so much money

2088
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:28,720
Speaker 1: like still like there's like by the NFL and all

2089
01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 1: these places selling off like a couple of games. They're

2090
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: still making a lot of money by doing that.

2091
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 2: Huh. And that's really what it comes down to.

2092
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 11: Yeah, sports continues to be the driver of your ship.

2093
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 10: It's the one thing that the network, since services, can

2094
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 10: guarantee will bring in a big audience. And consequently the

2095
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,720
Speaker 10: leaks now they can charge incredible amount of money for

2096
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 10: the rights.

2097
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 1: Well it got me to subscribe to I ended up

2098
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 1: going with YouTube TV for various reasons after a lot

2099
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 1: of kind of thought. I think Fubo is a little

2100
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:02,440
Speaker 1: bit better in LA when when you need the regionals

2101
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:04,440
Speaker 1: like the if you want to watch like the Clippers

2102
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 1: and the sports net.

2103
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 2: You know, rich, what's that.

2104
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 11: Direct TV Stream has a Spectrum Sports net and the

2105
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 11: Lakers channel, so you can watch the Lakers and the

2106
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 11: Dodgers on string direct TV stream not on Yeah.

2107
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 1: I will tell you I did try direct TV stream

2108
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 1: last year and the only the only downside I had

2109
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: is that the app looks like it was created by

2110
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:31,560
Speaker 1: people who are not necessarily like you know, like, it

2111
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:33,400
Speaker 1: looked like, I don't know, like you know, how direct TV.

2112
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 2: It's just Direct TV.

2113
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:34,600
Speaker 9: Like I.

2114
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:36,680
Speaker 1: I think it's great with the coverage they have, but

2115
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: the app could be better, whereas Fubo and YouTube are

2116
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:40,639
Speaker 1: very very high tech.

2117
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 10: I agree with you, it's clearly done by kind of

2118
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 10: the old school, and in part because they're trying to

2119
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:52,160
Speaker 10: get direct TV satellite audience, which is obviously older to

2120
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:54,800
Speaker 10: come over to TV stream and so they feel more

2121
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 10: comfortable with that old interface.

2122
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 3: Ah.

2123
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 1: There you have it all right. We're gonna leave it there,

01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 1: when this comes on, oh, you best believe I'll be dancing,

2132
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 1: getting up out of that chair doing that little shuffle

2133
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:38,120

Speaker 1: Armored Group, Yeah, Bobo can a modified lucid Air Sapphire

2136
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:51,120
Speaker 1: the world's fastest armored vehicle.

2137
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 2: This is this is impressive.

2138
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: US Armor Group has created an armored version of the

2139
01:40:55,920 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 1: lucid Air Sapphire electric vehicle twelve and thirty four horsepower.

2140
01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the price at the end, world's fastest

2141
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:07,800
Speaker 1: armored vehicle. Zero to sixteen under two seconds. Now, I

2142
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 1: will tell you I've been in the Lucid Air and

2143
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:12,400
Speaker 1: I went zero to sixty and I think it was

2144
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:14,640
Speaker 1: like two point five or two point nine seconds. It

2145
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:19,719
Speaker 1: was unbelievable, Like I had a reaction like you would

2146
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 1: not believe. It was pretty wild. So zero to sixteen

2147
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:23,799
Speaker 1: under two seconds.

2148
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

2149
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:28,240
Speaker 1: Lightweight armor and ballistic windows adds only four hundred pounds

2150
01:41:28,240 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 1: to the original weight. Security features include bullet bulletproof glass

2151
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:36,680
Speaker 1: capable of stopping a forty four magnum three hundred and

2152
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: sixty degree protection plus electric shock door handles and pepper

2153
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 1: spray dispensers.

2154
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:43,679
Speaker 2: This is wild.

2155
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 1: The vehicle gets a four hundred mile range on a charge.

2156
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 1: They also have cybersecurity features protected Wi Fi threat scanning technology.

2157
01:41:52,120 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 2: Who's this car for?

2158
01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, high, high level executives and heads of state. So

2159
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 1: if you run a company you're making, you know, billions

2160
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:04,559
Speaker 1: of dollars a year. This is what you're being charted

2161
01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 1: around in lucid Air Sapphire by the US Armor Group.

2162
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: Whoa pretty cool? All right, let's open up the feedbag.

2163
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:14,559
Speaker 1: These are the emails that you send me throughout the week.

2164
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 1: Chris from Madison Rights in I have reservations about storing

2165
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 1: my driver's license on a phone. Digital editing tools could

2166
01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:24,800
Speaker 1: be potentially used to alter the photo of information on

2167
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: a mobile license. While it's true that physical licenses can

2168
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 1: also be forged, why provide another potential tool for wrongdoing.

2169
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 1: I believe this digital option introduces unnecessary risks. What are

2170
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the security of mobile driver's licenses? They're

2171
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 1: actually way more secure, Chris. I went through a whole

2172
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 1: briefing on these things, and they are way more secure

2173
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:50,559
Speaker 1: than your actual physical license. The information never leaves your phone,

2174
01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 1: and it's not exchanged with whoever's checking the license. It's

2175
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 1: actually pretty well done. So I actually think these are

2176
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 1: a great thing, and hopefully more statesp them and hopefully

2177
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:02,680
Speaker 1: we can use them in more ways, like when you

2178
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 1: get pulled over. Not that you ever want to get

2179
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: pulled over, but if you ever do, be nice to

2180
01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 1: be able to use that as your complete replacement. Gail

2181
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 1: writes in, thanks for discussing the recent massive hack on

2182
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:17,240
Speaker 1: your Saturday broadcast. It motivated me to finally activate two

2183
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 1: factor authentication, starting with my bank account. I must admit

2184
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 1: the process was complicated, but the helpful staff at my

2185
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 1: credit union guided me through it. Now that I understand

2186
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:28,719
Speaker 1: the setup, I feel prepared to implement the security measure

2187
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,600
Speaker 1: on my other accounts. Your information really pushed me to

2188
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: take this important step in protecting my digital life. Will

2189
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 1: I be tuning into your next show? Definitely?

2190
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:37,680
Speaker 2: Thank you.

2191
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 1: Gail Mark from Saint Augustine writes in I found a

2192
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 1: great solution for my twenty twelve Macmini that wouldn't update

2193
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:47,559
Speaker 1: to a newer Mac OS. I installed Chrome os Flex

2194
01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,160
Speaker 1: and now it runs like a Chromebook as fast as

2195
01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 1: it ever did as a Mac. The software gets monthly

2196
01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:55,160
Speaker 1: updates with new features. I can connect my Android phone

2197
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 1: and the latest update even allows installation of Microsoft one

2198
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,679
Speaker 1: Drive so I can open documents directly in Word or Excel.

2199
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 1: It's given new life to my old hardware. You should

2200
01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:04,680
Speaker 1: try it out.

2201
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 10: Rich.

2202
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for your show. Thanks for the email.

2203
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:07,240
Speaker 12: Mark.

2204
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 1: We have talked about chromos Flex. I will admit I

2205
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:13,720
Speaker 1: have not personally installed it on a computer, but now

2206
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:15,720
Speaker 1: that you tell me that, actually I will because I

2207
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 1: have an old Mac sitting around that I will test

2208
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:20,400
Speaker 1: it out on the first time I did it or

2209
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 1: tried it was a little bit complicated because it was

2210
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:22,599
Speaker 1: brand new.

2211
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 2: Let's see.

2212
01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:28,280
Speaker 1: Mark writes in with a follow up on Hawaiian Airlines

2213
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:32,200
Speaker 1: Starlink Internet. I recently experienced Starlink on a Hawaiian Airlines

2214
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 1: flight and it's impressive. The service works gate to gate,

2215
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 1: unlike other airlines where you have to wait until you

2216
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:39,840
Speaker 1: get airborne. They're rapidly expanding it to their entire fleet.

2217
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 1: It's exciting to see this high quality internet becoming more

2218
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:47,680
Speaker 1: widely available on flights. Absolutely stand Word writes in, I'm

2219
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 1: not impressed with the Tesla cyber truck. In my opinion,

2220
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 1: Rivian trucks are much better looking and nicer overall. I'd

2221
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 1: love to learn more about their underlying structure and design.

2222
01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 1: The Rivian has really caught my interest compared to Tesla.

2223
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 1: I think Rivian has given Tesla a run for their money.

2224
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 1: But the problem is those products are very, very expensive,

2225
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 1: and they need to bring the prices down.

2226
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 2: But I love the Rivian one hundred percent.

2227
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:13,400
Speaker 1: Daniel from Rutherford ten writes in, thanks for sharing the

2228

Speaker 1: I showed folks how you can block ads on your

2233
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:34,160
Speaker 1: Android phone in about ten seconds, just by adding one

2234
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 1: simple little line of code to your phone, and that

2235
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:39,439
Speaker 1: was in my newsletter. If you want to sign up,

Speaker 1: can spend your time. I really appreciate you spending it

2250
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:21,720

Speaker 1: birthday messages. I have not responded to all of them

2252
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:26,280
