Speaker 1: all day answering questions from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, even

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: when I decide to post there. I posted my first

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: video to TikTok today, which don't get used to that

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: because I you know, I just did that for fun man.

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: So last week I was off. I don't know if

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: you notice, but if you did, congrats You must listen

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: to the show a lot. But otherwise, Yes, I'm back

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: from Hawaii. I know, not the time to travel, but

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, with the vaccinations and all this good stuff,

20
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: travel is definitely increasing. And so this was my first

21
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: big trip since the pandemic started. Second time I was

22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: on a plane, so The first was to go up

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: to Seattle for ces. This was the second one, And honestly,

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: we rescheduled this trip so many times that we said

25
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: we're doing it. We're sticking to it. And the wildest

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: part about the whole trip is so my mom was

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: scheduled to come with us on this trip to Hawaii.

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: We had planned this, it's been her dream to go

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: to Hawaii. Blah blah blah, and no joke. The morning

30
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: of the trip, the morning of the trip, she is

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: flying out from New Jersey to Los Angeles to meet

32
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: us to fly to Hawaii. I get a call about

33
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: three am saying, not good. I tripped on my suitcase

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: and I can't make it. Because you know, when you're

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: a little bit older and you trip, it's not so good.

36
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: So she was all bruised and she had to go

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: get X rays and thankfully she's okay. But you know,

38
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: to go on a big trip from you know, New

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: York to La La to Hawaii, you know, not so

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: good when you're you know, when you're totally bruised and

41
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: beaten up. So that was a bummer. But the funny

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: thing was we were taking my other mother in law

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: and so she still came. I mean it was a

44
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: whole big thing. I mean, this is you know, this

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: was just unbelievable circumstances. So we we had a fantastic

46
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: time in Hawaii. Uh, notwithstanding all the issues or whatever.

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: The worst part of getting over there was really the

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: COVID test that you had to do to test negative

49
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: to get over there. But otherwise, once we were there,

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: it was great. I mean, obviously the island has been

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: greatly impacted by the pandemic, with a lot of things

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: closed and not open yet, but overall, once you were

53
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: just like on the beach sitting there, it was fine,

54
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, and we had a really nice time. So

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't recommend going right now, honestly, because if

56
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: you're thinking of doing that, but you know, just wait

57
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: for things to change. We're so close. We are so close.

58
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: We're getting there. Things are, things are happening, They're they're

59
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: in motion. So if you want to watch my video

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: on the little trip I put it, you know, I didn't.

61
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: I didn't set out to make a video, not like

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: a YouTube vlogger, but I you know, I ended up

63
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: recording so many videos on my phone that I ended

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: up editing them together to h to make like this

65
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: little clip video and you can find that on my

66
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Facebook page Facebook dot com slash Rich on tech. All right,

67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: let's get to the first story of the week. Kind

68
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: of a big one. I mean, I don't know if

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: you have an LG phone, but LG has said they

70
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: are withdrawing from the mobile industry. Now. You might have

71
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: heard that last week. They announced it, I think when

72
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: I was in Hawaii. But the big update now, and

73
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: it's really sad that LG is exiting industry because you know,

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: it's one less choice for consumers. And you know, they

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: did have a decent amount of phones. I think in

76
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: recent years they didn't really have hit phone that I

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: personally loved. But I always loved what they did with

78
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: their phones, Like I always really enjoyed their software and

79
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: their approach to things. But their camera, you know, it

80
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: was good, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted personally,

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: and some of the software the you know, a lot

82
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: of the phones I've noticed in recent years of LG,

83
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: and this might have been a problem with them, is

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: that they were heavily, heavily influenced by the carriers, and

85
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: so you'd get this phone to test and it would

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: just be filled with Verizon software or filled with AT

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: and T software, and you go to the iPhone and

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: it's so clean and it's so pristine, and even Samsung

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: in recent years has been really clean that it's just

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: it kind of not you know, made for not a

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: very good experience. Anyway, they said they will give three

92
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: years of iOS of sorry not iOS of OS updates

93
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: for their phones, and that applies to phones released in

94
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and later the premium G series, the V series,

95
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: the Velvet, and the Wing. Twenty twenty models like the

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: LG Stylo and the K series, these were like they're

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: less premium phones will get to operating system updates. So

98
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of interesting. Good to know that

99
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: they're doing this pledge, but you know, I don't know

100
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna still make phones. They're winding down July thirty first,

101
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: So sad for LG. You know, it's the end of

102
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: an era because I really my first phone I ever

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: tested was the LG Chocolate. That was my first assignment

104
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: ever for c neet back in the day. So it

105
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: just goes to show how how long I've been doing this.

106
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the first question. All right,

107
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: oh gosh, I'm gonna mess up your name. Hormaz says, Hey, Rich,

108
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: thanks for your awesome podcast. I haven't missed even one

109
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: episode in the last three years. Well, thank you. I

110
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: need your advice to buy a perfect wireless charger stand

111
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: for both my iPhone twelve and my Note twenty ultra,

112
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: which vendor and modeled you suggest. I want to have

113
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: one that works with both iPhone and Samsung. Thank you

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: for your amazing podcast and your help. Well, oh gosh,

115
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: or Moz, I think I'm looking at the perfect one.

116
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: I have it on my desk right here. So it

117
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: depends if you want a wireless charger stand, I mean,

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: if you just want one device, or I don't know

119
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: if you want to charge two devices at once or

120
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: one device you know, at a time. But there's two

121
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: i'd recommend. The first is this one I have in

122
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: my desk right here. We featured it on KTLA today.

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: It's called the au Key air Corps three and one,

124
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: and it's a three and one charger. It's got a

125
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: place for wireless AirPods, whatever earbuds you have that wirelessly charge.

126
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: It's got a place for your Apple Watch, and it's

127
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: got to stand for your phone, and it should work

128
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: with your Samsung. It will work with your Samsung and

129
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: also your iPhone, and so i'd recommend that it's only

130
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: thirty bucks and it's that's a pretty fantastic deal. The

131
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: other one I'd recommend is just a Mophi that has

132
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: it's a two in one charger, so you can lay

133
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: two phones on this device and charge two devices at once,

134
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: and you know that should work as well. So those

135
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: are the two that I would recommend. But realistically, you

136
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: can go on Amazon. If you just need one device

137
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: to charge at a time, you can just go on

138
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Amazon and find a charger. Make sure it's a high

139
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: speed charger for these devices, and you know all Key

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: makes them, Anchor makes them. I think i'd probably look

141
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: at those two or Mophi is also the other big

142
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: brand that makes these things. So that's what I would recommend.

143
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: And you know, if you want to see my video

144
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: on the Auki, I've got that on my Facebook page

145
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: as well. Let's talk about best Buy. They have a

146
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: new membership program. I don't think it's exactly competing with

147
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Amazon because Amazon sells everything in the world, but they

148
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: have this new membership program called best Buy Beta. That

149
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: does seem pretty compelling if you are a tech person

150
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: that likes to buy, you know, gadgets, you'd have to

151
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: buy a couple of gadgets to make this worth it

152
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: because it is two hundred dollars a year. Here are

153
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: the benefits of the membership, dedicated and exclusive concierge support.

154
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: So what does that means? That mean like tech support?

155
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't know concierge support. I don't really know what

156
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: that means. But it's available twenty four to seven by phone, chat, email,

157
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: or through the best Buy app. I mean, I don't

158
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: know what that what the concierge would help you with?

159
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: Like you know now they do have unlimited geek squad

160
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: tech support on all technology in your home, whether you

161
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: purchased it at best Buy or not. So that's compelling

162
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: and that could be quite helpful, especially if you have,

163
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, a family member that you are the tech

164
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: support person for. This could help with that. But you know,

165
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: what's the weight line? What's the weight time on that?

166
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how good that is. Either

167
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: fast and free shipping with no minimums. Okay, that's cool, exclusive,

168
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: but you know a lot of things you buy best

169
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: Buy our gadgets, they're more expensive, so you know a

170
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: lot of times it's over thirty five anyway or fifty whatever.

171
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: Their minimum is exclusive member pricing on a wide range

172
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: of products, free in home, standard delivery and installation on

173
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: most products. I mean, but how many times a year

174
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: are you buying like a dishwasher? So I don't know

175
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: about that one. This is compelling. Two years protection on

176
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: most purchases at best Buy, including Apple Care on Apple products.

177
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Now that is the compelling part because if you buy

178
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: an iPhone once a year, which yeah, not many people

179
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: do that. It's usually once every three years, you know,

180
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: you buy Apple Care for two hundred bucks or whatever costs,

181
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, that could pay for itself, sixty day extended

182
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: return window, and ten percent off subscription services build through

183
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: best Buy. So I mean, I don't know, two hundred

184
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: dollars a years a lot. And you know with Amazon

185
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: they're charging what one twenty for their Amazon Prime and

186
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: that's like, you know, you're getting something shipped from Amazon

187
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,359
Speaker 1: or a lot of people are like on a weekly basis.

188
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: For us, it's like twice weekly. So this is interesting.

189
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of perks. You know, there are

190
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting perks, especially the two year protection.

191
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: But you have to figure out if it's worth two

192
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year. I mean, that's that adds up

193
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: very quickly. I mean, you do this thing for five years,

194
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: that's one thousand dollars. So are you getting one thousand

195
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: dollars worth of tech support and in home delivery and

196
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: installation and protection. I don't know, but this is starting

197
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: at select stores through at Iowa, Oklahoma, eastern Pennsylvania. Then

198
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: in April it's gonna expand to Minnesota, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they didn't do it in Minnesota at the

200
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: beginning because that's where best Buy I think is headquartered.

201
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have it a total of sixty stores.

202
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: Best Buy has many more stores than that, so I

203
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know. Just keep an eye out for it. Best

204
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: by best By Beta membership program. Everything's a membership in

205
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: the future. All right, let's get to the next question.

206
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: This comes from. Let's see, I don't have a name

207
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: on this. Let's just say sore, okay, Hi, Richard. I'm

208
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: wanting someone calls me Richard, except my mom I'm wanting

209
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: to get a new Samsung watch, but I'm not sure

210
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: what to get. I don't know if Samsung is coming

211
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: out with a new version soon, and if so, the

212
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: watch face will be different. I'm not crazy about the

213
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: round ones. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you so much,

214
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: and a heart sent for my T mobile four G

215
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: LTE device. Well, let's see, is Samsung coming out with

216
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: a new version soon. They recently came out with one,

217
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: so I don't know. Usually their cadence is h Yeah,

218
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: I think it just came out, so I would say

219
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: probably not. And I don't see them changing to a

220
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: square watch face like the Apple Watch. So if you

221
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: don't like the round, ah, that's a tough one. So

222
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: the thing I would look into is perhaps a fitbit.

223
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: They do the square faces, and they've got the Fitbit

224
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: versa I think three now. And you know, it's been

225
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: a while since I tested a fitbit. I don't know fitit.

226
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: It's gone like they like never get in touch with

227
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: me anymore. I don't know why. I mean, the last

228
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: time I did a fipbit review, it was like it

229
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: went bananas online. I mean, I'm talking bananas. I never

230
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: saw so many people click on a review in my life.

231
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: That was the Versa. That was a Fipbit versa. So

232
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: that was like the first like real alternative to the

233
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: Apple Watch that was like a smart watch. And I

234
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: wrote up a little review and it just went wildly viral.

235
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: That was a couple of years ago and ever since then.

236
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: And I bought that watch on Amazon and I used

237
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: it for a long time and they never get in

238
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: touch with me after that, and anyway, so I digress.

239
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: So it's been a while since I've tested one. Yes,

240
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: I guess I can go out and buy one and

241
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: test it out, but it seems, you know, like I'd

242
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: rather just borrow one and test it and you know whatever,

243
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: So I would just probably go with a Fipbit. There's

244
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: another watch that's coming out called the one Plus Watch,

245
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: which is a nice alternative to the Samsung. I'll have

246
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: my full review on that next week. I've been testing it,

247
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: but I can't really talk too much about it right now.

248
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: But the fippit would probably be good. The one Plus

249
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: is great, but it's uh, well, I can't say it's

250
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: great just yet. It seems like it's going to be nice,

251
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: but it does have a round watch face. So if

252
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: you want square like Apple, then you know you're gonna

253
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: have to you know, really the Pippit is the way

254
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: to go. The other one is the whys Wyse has

255
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: a smart watch for twenty dollars. And in fact, I'm

256
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna just go ahead and read these next two emails

257
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: because I guess it plays into this. Tomas says, hey, rich,

258
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: I just received my phone today and set it up

259
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars on my phone. I think he meant

260
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: watch because it says why's watch and set it up

261
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars plus another five dollars for an extra strap.

262
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: It's really trick. I'm guessing that means cool, auto correct,

263
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: auto correct. I had to wait almost four months to

264
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: receive it. It's a great deal. It does a lot of

265
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: things the other more expensive watches do. I guess I

266
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: won't be wearing my Rolex from now on. Sent from

267
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: my iPhone. Oh interesting, he's using it with an iPhone too. Yeah,

268
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: the wise Watch works with iPhone Android. The main downside

269
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: to the wise Watch there's no onboard GPS. So but

270
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: it's twenty dollars. I mean, it's a nice little smart watch.

271
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: I haven't tested it again. I think they were supposed to

272
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: send it to me. They never did, but whyse I

273
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: love what Whys is doing. They make really really nice

274
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: stuff for very inexpensive. Kevin writes, Rich, have you gotten

275
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: to the new wise Watch? My wife and I received

276
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: ours this week. It's nineteen ninety nine. It's pretty fun.

277
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: Definitely not an Apple watch, but maybe an overgrown fitpit.

278
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: But for about one hundred and eighty nine dollars less

279
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: than an Apple Watch, it's nifty. Thanks Kevin sent for

280
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: my iPhone. Another iPhone user wow with the wise Watch.

281
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's probably another good option. If you just

282
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: want like a watch that tracks your steps and can

283
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: give you your notifications and you know, all that good stuff,

284
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: and you know, track a little bit of your fitness,

285
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: the wise Watch is going to be just fine. And

286
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: so is a Fitbit. So those are some good options

287
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: for you there if you don't necessarily want the round

288
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: watch face that Samsung offers. And I've tested the Samsung watches.

289
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: I think they're fine. They're not my favorite, but I

290
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: think they're just fine. I personally, I know, I know Apple,

291
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: you're such an Apple fanboy, Rich, I just I've gotten

292
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: so spoiled with the Apple Watch. I just I love it.

293
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: I feel naked without it, I really do. I just

294
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: feel like everything I want out of a smart watch

295
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch does. And it just it's truly unbelievable.

296
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it really feels like it watches over me.

297
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: I told the story about how I almost fell, and

298
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: it would have called nine one one if you noticed that.

299
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: It just attracks my runs and my music is on there,

300
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: and the notifications are so good, the haptics are so good.

301
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: Everything is just so good about it. And I've said

302
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: this before. I would give up my iPhone quicker than

303
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: I would my Apple Watch because the Apple Watch is

304
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: just so good. It's got cellular connectivity, which I just

305
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. Okay, I can't talk too much about

306
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: the OnePlus watch, but I went out for a run

307
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: with the OnePlus watch yesterday to test it, and I

308
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: felt like I was missing something because I did not

309
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: have my cellular connectivity that I'm so used to on

310
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: my Apple Watch. And I know these are all things

311
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: that are like, oh, first world problems, rich I get it, Yes,

312
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: they all are one hundred percent, but you know, when

313
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: you test tech for a living. You see these differences,

314
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: and the difference of the Apple Watch among all the

315
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: other wearables that I test is that it really truly

316
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: is leaps and bounds ahead of them, and you know

317
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna take some catching up. Just the ecosystem that

318
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: Apple has built is so strong and it's so solid,

319
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: and just you know, I don't try to I don't

320
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: set out to say, oh my gosh, I love all

321
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: Apple stuff. I love all you know, whatever Apple does

322
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: is amazing. Like no, I'm actively testing other things out there,

323
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, to see if I can love other stuff

324
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: as much. And the Apple Watch is just one of

325
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: those things where it just has become such a big

326
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: part of my life. We were testing walkie talkie feature

327
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: the other day, which we don't really use, but my

328
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: wife and I were testing it and we're like, ah,

329
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: this is so cool. Why don't we ever use this?

330
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: And we didn't use it. After that, All right, let's

331
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: get to oh and Apple story. How convenient rich you

332
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: Apple lover? Apples find My Network now offers new third

333
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: party finding experiences. This is from the Apple newsroom. So

334
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: what Apple has done is they have taken on tile

335
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: and they have expanded the find My app. Remember it

336
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: used to be called find my iPhone. Now it's just

337
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: called find My. And what they've done is they've opened

338
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: up their network, they're finding network to third party gadgets.

339
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: And yes, I'm sure that these third party gadgets have

340
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: to pay a nice licensing fee to Apple to use this,

341
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: but it hear me out, this is pretty phenomenal. So

342
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: three gadgets that now have the find my tech built in,

343
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: one from Belkan, one from Chipolo, and then bikes from

344
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: Van Moove. So Belkan's doing a pair of earbuds the

345
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: uh what are they called, the sound form Freedom true

346
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: wireless earbuds. Then Chopolo has a it's a little finder.

347
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: So I hate to use the example of Tile because

348
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: this is who they're you know, totally annihilating in the

349
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: process here. But Chopolo is kind of an alternative to Tile,

350
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: and I remember liking Chopolo. I can't remember what the

351
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: reason was. I think they have batteries that pop out

352
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: and you can put new ones in there, whereas Tile

353
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: always had the batteries that were built in. Maybe they

354
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: changed that, but it's been a while since I used one.

355
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: But Schoppolo is called the one spot and you can

356
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: put this on keys, luggage, backpacks and more. And to

357
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: be completely honest, I will likely be buying these now

358
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: because here is the OH and then the Van Mouf bikes,

359
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: the S three and the X three. These are e bikes.

360
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: They cost about two thousand dollars and I got to

361
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: test one because not that I think my audience is

362
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: purchasing these e bikes for two thousand dollars, but I

363
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: get so many emails about them. People are really hip

364
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: on these e bikes that are, you know, electronic. They

365
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: kind of give you a little assistance when you're driving them.

366
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know. To me, it seems

367
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: very expensive, but I don't know. People seem to like them,

368
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: and I should probably get some experience hands on with them.

369
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: But the okay, So here's how this this find my works.

370
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: It basically turns any Apple products into a beacon like

371
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: a locator for these lost gadgets. So let's say you

372
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: had one of these Chipolo items on your backpack, right

373
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: these little tags, and let's say you lose your backpack

374
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: in the airport, Well, how many people are walking by

375
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: with an iPhone? And yes, I believe you have to

376
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: activate the third party like crowdsourcing feature on it, but

377
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: it's all anonymous and Apple has done their homework, so

378
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: they're making sure that it doesn't eat up all your

379
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: power on your phone or doesn't give away your private info.

380
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: But when you walk by, your iPhone sees that little beacon,

381
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: that little on someone's backpack and it says, oh, it

382
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: just it just sends that little day to the network

383
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: saying oh, we located this. And then you a thousand

384
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: miles away say where's my backpack and the Apple network

385
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: on fine my says, oh, well, we saw it at

386
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: the Lax an hour ago, and here's the precise location

387
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: of it, because we had one hundred and seventy five

388
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: iPhones walk past it in the past hour, and so

389
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: we're pretty sure it's right here. I mean, that is phenomenal.

390
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: Now you might say, rich Tyle did this years ago,

391
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: this is what Tile did so many years ago. But

392
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing Tile was. I think it worked, but

393
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that it was ever able to work

394
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: in the way that Apple was because the difference is

395
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: that someone had to have the Tile app on their

396
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: phone enable the finding feature and walk past that device

397
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: and the chances of that happening were a lot less

398
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: than some random iPhone or iPad or computer. If it

399
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: does computer, I'm not sure it does. But you know,

400
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: let's just say iPhones alone. I mean, how many iPhones

401
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: are floating around in the world. In the world, So

402
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: if you lose your device in Japan, someone's probably gonna

403
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: walk past it with an iPhone and locate it for you.

404
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: So in that case alone, this is phenomenal. And I

405
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: can see why manufacturers are gonna want to jump on board.

406
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: In fact, if I was tile, if I wanted to

407
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: sell some more tiles, I would jump on board. I

408
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: know it probably kills them to do that, but this

409
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: is huge, and I will say this again, this is huge.

410
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: The potential here is enormous, and I think that the

411
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: beauty here is that these devices, these these little clips,

412
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, these little Chipolo add ons, and the things

413
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: they put inside these uh you know, bikes and stuff.

414
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: They don't have to have their own GPS to locate them.

415
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: They're just piggybacking on the GPS built into every iPhone.

416
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: So this is a huge when I think it has

417
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: a lot of potential, mark my words, this will be

418
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: one of the most successful programs that Apple does. If

419
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: people can get over the privacy concerns of I'm using

420
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: my phone to find other people's stuff, don't worry about it.

421
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: It's gonna be just fine to find. My network is

422
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: a crowdsource network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices

423
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: that use Bluetooth to detect missing items nearby, then report

424
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: the approximate location back to the owner. Apple says the

425
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: entire process is end to end encrypted and anonymous, so

426
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: no one, not even Apple or the third party manufacturer,

427
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: can view a device's location or information. In fact, I

428
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna buy some of these Chipolos today. Why

429
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: would I not. I want this on everything. I want

430
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: this on my car, I want this on my backpack,

431
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: I want this on my luggage. I want this on

432
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: my keys. Oh my gosh. How much is one of

433
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: these Chipolos Chipolo one? Now, I will tell you I

434
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: covered Chipolo many many years ago with KTLA, and it

435
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: was at CES. I saw these things and it didn't

436
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: go anywhere because it was like, well, Tile is like

437
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: the big one. Okay. Chipolo one spot starts shipping in June,

438
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: and how much? How much? How much? Does not say,

439
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm guessing they're expensive of regular Chipolo's twenty five dollars. So, ah,

440
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: this is huge. This is going to be big. Oh wow.

441
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: And let's see replaceable battery, twelve month battery. Oh, this

442
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. Wow. I'm so I've never

443
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: been so excited. But no price has been announced just yet,

444
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: so we will we will keep an eye on that story. Anyway,

445
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: let me move on. Let's see. Thomas says, Hey, Rich,

446
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: I love this show. We have the two hundred gigabyte

447
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: thank you. We have the two hundred gigabyte iCloud Family

448
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: Share storage plan, and we are running out. I don't

449
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: really want to bump up to the nine to ninety

450
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: nine a month one terabyte plan. I want to remove it.

451
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: How can I go about this? Where do I put

452
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 1: these a local drive? Another less expensive cloud service? Thanks Tom, Tom,

453
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: I feel your pain, buddy, because I am right there

454
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: with you now. I pay for the two hundred dollars

455
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: iCloud Family Share plan as well. I think that's three

456
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: dollars a month. I also pay for the ten dollars

457
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: a month Google Drive plan, which is one two terabytes,

458
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: and I believe Apples is two terabytes. As well. I think, yeah,

459
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: two terabytes, so it's two terabytes for ten dollars. Now

460
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm at the place where I'm right up against my

461
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: two terabytes. So I get this thing that says you're

462
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: ninety percent full, and the next level up for me

463
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: is fifty dollars a month, which is like, that's a lot. Now.

464
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: I pay eighteen bucks for YouTube, which you know, I mean,

465
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: so it's not that big of a deal to pay

466
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: for it, but it's still fifty dollars a month. Six

467
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year for cloud storage seems like a lot. Now,

468
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. You're saying I want to

469
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: remove the videos. But here's the deal, Tom, You're gonna

470
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: go through this whole I mean, you're gonna go through

471
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: your iCloud and remove all those videos, and then now

472
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have them somewhere else, and now when you

473
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: want to look for them, you gotta look somewhere else

474
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: for the videos. It's a whole big thing. So I

475
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: would say, at this point, there's not really another place

476
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: where you can put those videos for free. Even Google's

477
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: gonna start charging on June fifteenth for storage, so you

478
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: could I don't even know if you can upload them

479
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: there before then to get them to get them in

480
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: there for free. But I would say, I think you

481
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: just go for the ten dollars a month. I know

482
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: it pains you, and it's ten dollars a month, and

483
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: it's a new fee, but you're already paying three dollars,

484
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: so you're only paying seven more dollars a month. And

485
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, do you really want your videos in a

486
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: different place? I don't know. Probably not. Now, a local

487
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: drive is fine. Yeah, you can go to Costco buy

488
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: a four terabyte hard drive for sixty bucks and offload

489
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 1: your videos there, which is fine, But you still need

490
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: to have them in a second place. So now you're

491
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: gonna be sitting there, You're gonna be going through your iCloud,

492
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: downloading all these videos, putting them on off separate hard drive.

493
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: Then you got to copy that to another hard drive.

494
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: Then you got to bring that hard drive to a

495
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: friend's house, so you have them in two places. Then

496
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: every time you add new videos, you gotta do the

497
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: same process over and over. So it just sounds like

498
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: something you don't want to do. And so I for

499
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: that reason, would recommend just just ponying up for the

500
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month. I know it's tough. I gotta

501
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: do it for the fifty dollars a month. It's going

502
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: to really kill me to do that. But I think

503
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I'm gonna try to save money

504
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: somewhere else, and I'm just trying to figure out where

505
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: that is. There's got to be a subscription I have

506
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: that I'm not getting the full use of. And last

507
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: week or the last show I talked about Verizon has

508
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: a twenty dollars a month unlimited storage plan. But again

509
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: it's the same problem. Do I really want to split

510
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: up my stuff? I was thinking about it and I'm like, okay,

511
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: well I can use some you know, some of the

512
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: unlimited storage and Verizon to free up space in my

513
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: Google Drive. But then I have two different places I

514
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: got to look for stuff, and that, you know, there's

515
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: also something about making life easier, and that's the goal

516
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: with all this stuff, and so you want to you know,

517
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't discount the fact of is my

518
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: life more complicated because I'm saving five dollars? And you know,

519
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: I always say to someone, did you buy a beer

520
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: for five bucks? Have you ever purchased a beer for

521
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: five dollars. How long does that last? A half an hour?

522
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: An hour and it was five bucks. Now think about that,

523
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: you're paying a whole month for seven There's probably something

524
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: in your month that you purchase for seven dollars that

525
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: doesn't last very long. Whether it's a Starbucks, whether it's

526
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: a beer, whether it is you know, whatever it is.

527
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: So just think about it that way. That's the way

528
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: I've gotten through all these little fees and hopefully that

529
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: helps all right. Speaking of Google, I tried Google's latest

530
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: gadget that helps you get a better night's sleep, and

531
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed. That is the headline from my KTLA segment

532
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: on the Google Nest Hub two. This is you know,

533
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: one of my favorite gadgets is the Google nest It's

534
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: just my favorite part about it is that it shows

535
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: pictures when you're not using it, like all your Google photos.

536
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: It's so cool. And then of course it does all

537
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: this stuff, like the smart home stuff, like you know,

538
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: you can play music on it, you can answer phone calls,

539
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. Now, there's no camera on the

540
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: original Nest Hub. This has a seven inch screen and

541
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: Google found that a lot of people put it in

542
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: their bedroom because of that, the bigger one has a

543
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: camera and this has Now the new feature on the

544
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: two is a radar sensor. It's called solely, first appeared

545
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: on the Pixel four and they realize that they can

546
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: use this solely radar to figure out when you're sleeping

547
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: and kind of track your sleep patterns. And so I

548
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: tested this out. I had this by my bed for

549
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and it's fantastic. I mean, you

550
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: just go to sleep and when you wake up, you

551
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: get a little report card of your sleep and it

552
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: tells you how long you slept, how long you're in bed,

553
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: which gives you your sleep efficiency, So how long it

554
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: took you to go to sleep, how long it took

555
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: you to wake up, how many times you moved throughout

556
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: the night, if you snored, if you coughed, and it's

557
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: pretty wild and so how you're breathing. The idea here

558
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: is that Google is going to offer insights into your

559
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: sleep plus suggestions on how to make make it better,

560
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: get a better night's sleep. So for me, the suggestion

561
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: it had is that I go to bed and wake

562
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: up at very different times throughout the week, which is

563
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: causing me disturbances. So there you have it. This is

564
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars. I highly recommend it that the Nest

565
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: Hub is. My only problem with the Nest Hub is

566
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: that it's sluggish. And maybe they're going to fix this

567
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: with a software update, but it's like the thing is

568
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: brand new, and you know, I was using it and

569
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: it's like you tap it and it takes like three

570
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: seconds to respond. Now why is that? Google? Come on?

571
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they're using like a low

572
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: powered you know, whatever the processor is, or if they

573
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: just you know, I don't think the processor's changed from

574
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: the first one. Perhaps maybe it did, I don't know,

575
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: but it seems just as slow as the first one.

576
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: And so that's my only big problem with it. But

577
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: for a hundred bucks, it's a great, you know, digital

578
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 1: photo display and it does all your smart home stuff

579
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: and if you don't, you know, if you're in the

580
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: Google ecosystem with Google Photos, it's it's a pretty cool

581
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: way to see your pictures throughout the day, and then

582
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: with this little feature, it's pretty cool as well. The

583
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: only thing to know is that Google says this is

584
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: a free preview, so they eventually plan to charge for

585
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: this thing, so just know that they didn't say how much.

586
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: But that's the idea, is that this is free for now,

587
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: and later on they will likely charge for the service.

588
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: And if you're wondering if they're going to use your

589
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: sleep data to sell you ads, Google says they will

590
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: not do that. So there you have it. Linda says,

591
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: good morning, Rich. I recently I always joke that people

592
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: say good morning because they see me on TV and

593
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: they go, oh, I need to email that guy. Good morning, Rich.

594
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: I recently found out that my Samsung Note nine is

595
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: resending pictures without me knowing. How do I fix this? Signed?

596
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: Confused Linda, get out look for Android. Oh, Linda, this

597
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: was a problem a while while back. I mean I'm

598
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: talking like I thought this was like a couple of

599
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: years ago. And I guess if you're on the Note nine,

600
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: that was probably at least yeah, three years ago, because

601
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: at the Note ten and they did the twenty so yeah.

602
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: Uh So it's interesting because I thought they fixed this.

603
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: I would Number one, do a software update. Update all

604
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: of your software, so that means going into the there's

605
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: three places I want you to go. Number one Google

606
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: Play update all your apps there, and then restart your phone.

607
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: Then I want you to go into the Galaxy Store

608
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: update all of your apps there. That's a secret one.

609
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: On Android phones that are that are Samsung, sometimes you

610
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: miss that. It's not necessarily prevalent on your phone. Sometimes

611
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: you get to pop up maybe that says, hey, you

612
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: got some updates, but maybe turn that off. I would

613
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: go into their update your apps there, and then I

614
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: would go into the software update in the main settings

615
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: and update your phone there, and you know, go through

616
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: that process. So if that does not fix it, I

617
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: would go ahead and switch to Google Messages. This is

618
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: Google's SMS app. I believe that Samsung is replacing their

619
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: messages app with this anyway in the future, and I

620
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: think that's what they're doing. If not, I mean it's

621
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: it's just better anyway. I would just go with the

622
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: Google Messages. So all you have to do is download

623
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: what's called Google Messages, and once you download it, you

624
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: open it up. It will bring over all your old texts.

625
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about doing anything special and

626
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: boom you can. It'll say do you want to use

627
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: this as your defall app? Say? Yes? And I don't

628
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: think that app has that problem. So I think the

629
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: software update should probably fix this, but the fact that

630
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: it's still happening this late into the game, I would

631
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: just go ahead and switch. I think that the Google

632
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: Messages app is better anyway, and it's certainly updated more often,

633
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: and just I think they're switching to it anyway, So

634
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: I would just do that. Man, every story and every

635
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: question is leading into the next story. So this this

636
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: goes right into the story that Samsung has unveiled their

637
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: cheapest five G smartphone, and just full disclosure, I have

638
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: not tested this phone, so I can't say how good

639
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: or bad it is. But it's the Samsung A thirty

640
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: two five G A thirty two five G. It's their

641
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: first five G device under three hundred dollars. And I

642
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: was looking at this device because they came out with

643
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: that the Samsung FE last year, which was a pretty

644
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: pretty solid device for the price, but that was still

645
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: like six seven hundred bucks. This is two eighty nine,

646
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: a toot eighty. I mean, that's a steal. And I

647
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: looked at it. They undercut a lot of these other phones,

648
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: like a lot of these other devices that were really inexpensive,

649
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: and Samsung at this point, you know, when it comes

650
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: to Android, and we saw this with LG. It's like

651
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: they're just they're killing it in their own way because

652
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: it's a two party it's a what do they call it,

653
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: two pony game, two horse race, I don't know what

654
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: you call it. But it's basically Apple versus Samsung. When

655
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: people think Android, don't even think Android, they think Samsung.

656
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: It's Samsung versus Apple. It's not Google, it's not Android,

657
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: it's not LG, it's not Huawei, it's not Pixel. It

658
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: is Samsung versus iPhone. That's what people think. And so

659
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: Samsung has done a really good job of just building

660
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: on their momentum of Look, we're the we're the Android king,

661
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: and we make a lot of different phones at a

662
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: lot of different price points. You don't want to spend

663
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: one thousand bucks on a super high in S twenty

664
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: one or a Note twenty boom. Here's your five G

665
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: A thirty two for twot eighty, and it's got the

666
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: features you need. It's got four K video, it's got

667
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: the scene optimizer for the camera, so the camera should

668
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: be decent. It's got these special ar lenses for snapsh

669
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: which I don't know how many people use that but whatever,

670
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: it's got a huge battery five thousand million hours. That's

671
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: that's among the biggest. In fact, I think that's the

672
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: biggest you can put in a smartphone. It's got the

673
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: fast charging, it's got power saving mode, and it does

674
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: have a micro SD card slot, which is really nice,

675
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: so you can add extra memory to this forty eight

676
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: megapixel main shooter. It's got a six point five inch

677
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: HD LCD screen, so it's not the highest quality screen.

678
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: And again with a lot of these things, you're not getting,

679
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, the absolute best quality. Maybe you're not getting

680
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: the best quality camera. Maybe you're not getting you know,

681
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: you're not getting the top refresh rate. This is ninety hertz,

682
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: which you know the top is is one twenty. You're

683
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: not getting a super ammal ed screen. You're getting an LCD,

684
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: you're not getting the full HD, You're just getting an HD, so,

685
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, but it's still fine. I think for the

686
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: average user, you're not getting the most ram it's four gigs,

687
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: and some of these phones now and Android top out

688
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: at twelve. You're not getting the most memory. It's sixty

689
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: four gigs, which generally one twenty eight is the base nowadays.

690
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: But again you have that extra memory slot, you are

691
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: getting fast charging. I don't see wireless charging, so you're

692
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: not getting that. But the reality is, for most many,

693
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: many people who just won an expensive phone, two hundred

694
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: and eighty dollars is the difference between saving up your

695
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: money for a couple of months and buying a phone

696
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: and having a phone payment for twenty four months. So

697
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: why buy a thousand dollars phone with all these things

698
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: you don't need when you know you can buy a

699
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty dollars phone and get ninety nine

700
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: percent of what you need. Yeah, your pictures may not

701
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: be the absolute best, it may not be the fastest,

702
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: it may not have wireless charging, but it's going to

703
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: be pretty good for the price. And it's a Samsung,

704
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: so it's going to be a nice, you know, overall

705
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: nice device with a lot of support, a lot of accessories.

706
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: So check it out if you want a cheap phone,

707
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: a thirty two to five G from Samsung. That's the

708
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: big announcement. They're cheapest five G phone yet. All right,

709
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: Rich writes in uh, can you tell me if I

710
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: delete a picture from my picture account on my laptop

711
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: and I have an iCloud account, or I have a

712
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: cloud account where I think the picture goes for backup.

713
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: Is the picture also deleted from the cloud account or

714
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: do I have access to the cloud account to delete

715
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: it there? Also? Thanks always enjoy your text segments on

716
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: the news Rich well, thank you rich. From one rich

717
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: to another rich Richie Rich, thanks Rich, thanks a lot,

718
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: thanks a bunch um. Okay, so this gets a little confusing,

719
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people are confused by this,

720
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: so let me explain what happens. Okay, So, if you

721
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: are using Google Photos or something similar on your phone, right, so,

722
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: you've downloaded Google Photos, You've downloaded one drive, You've downloaded

723
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: Amazon Photos. What it does is it takes that picture

724
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: from your phone, it sucks it up and puts it

725
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: in to the cloud, and so it now lives in

726
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: the cloud. And if you're on your smartphone and you

727
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: go into your smartphone's photo gallery, not the Amazon Photos app,

728
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: not the Google Photos app, and you delete that picture,

729
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: it will remain safe and secure in the cloud. So

730
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: that's the way it works. If you go to your

731
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: desktop computer and you go to Amazon photos dot com

732
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: and you look for that photo and you say, eh,

733
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: it's not very good, and you delete it, it will

734
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: delete it off the cloud, but it will not delete

735
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: it off your phone. Do that makes sense? So stick

736
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: with me here. If you have Google Photos, same thing.

737
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: You upload a picture from your phone to Google Photos,

738
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: you go on Google Photos on the web app on

739
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: your laptop, you delete a picture in Google Photos, it

740
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: remains on your phone. If you delete that same picture

741
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: from your gallery on your phone, it remains in Google Photos.

742
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: So imagine it's kind of taking a copy of that

743
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: picture and sucking it up to the cloud and keeping

744
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: it there. Now Here is the big exception. If you

745
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: go into Google Photos on your phone and you say, oh,

746
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: let me delete that picture from the app, it says,

747
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: would you also like us to delete this picture from

748
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: your gallery? And you say yes, and it will delete

749
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 1: it off your phone. I know. Now, if you're using iCloud,

750
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: this is where it gets really interesting. If you're using

751
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: iCloud and you sink your pictures from iCloud, you know,

752
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: from your phone gallery to iCloud, and you delete a

753
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: picture off your phone, it deletes it across everywhere. It

754
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: will be gone out of the cloud, it will be

755
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: gone off your laptop. If you use Apple Photos, it

756
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: will be gone off the web. If you access your

757
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: photos through through iCloud on the web, it will be

758
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: gone everywhere. So this is often a thing that happens

759
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: to people. They delete a picture and they think it's

760
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: going to be deleted just from their phone, and it

761
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: deletes it off the cloud. So what you need to

762
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: do in the event that you use iCloud is you

763
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: need to go into settings and use a setting called

764
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: Optimize Phone Storage. And what this does is iCloud will

765
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: manage your storage on your phone. Because you're thinking, well,

766
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: you know if I if I upload to the cloud,

767
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: I can delete it off my phone. No, not if

768
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: you using iCloud, because it's not. It doesn't work that way.

769
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: It's an integrated platform. So it's a little bit different

770
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: and it's a little trickier because if you go deleting

771
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: things off your phone, it deletes it off iCloud as well.

772
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: So what you need to do is let Apple manage it.

773
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: And here's how they manage it. If you have that

774
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Optimized Phone Storage turned on in your photo settings iCloud

775
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: Photo Settings, it will look through your phone and as

776
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: you reach the end of your storage on your phone,

777
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: the physical storage on your phone. It will say, okay,

778
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna offload some of these pictures. So

779
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: what it does is it deletes some of the pictures

780
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: off your phone, but it keeps a tiny copy, like

781
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: a thumbnail copy, but it keeps the original in the cloud.

782
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: And so let's say you go back, you scroll back

783
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: on your camera roll all the way a year ago,

784
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: and you notice that there's a little cloud icon in

785
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: the corner. That means that the photo is not actually

786
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: on your phone, it's grabbing that data from iCloud. When

787
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: you tap that picture, it will immediately download it from

788
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: the cloud and it will be on your phone just

789
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: like it was before. I know this who very very

790
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: confusing f from your mortals that may not be a

791
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: tech nerd that you know specializes in this stuff, but

792
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: it's what you need to know is if you know,

793
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: if you're using iCloud, if you're you know, just if

794
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: you're using iCloud, don't delete stuff off your phone. Let's

795
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: make sure that that feature is in there. And if

796
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: you need to free up storage, like if there's something

797
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: you don't need like a picture or a video, like

798
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: for me, I ran out of storage on my phone.

799
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: The other day, I went through and I deleted a

800
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: whole bunch of videos on my camera roll number one.

801
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: I know those videos are backed up in Google Photos,

802
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: so I'm fine doing that. If I was just using iCloud,

803
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: I would only delete things that I knew or that

804
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: were stuff I don't need, because I don't you. I

805
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: don't use the optimized iPhone storage because I don't use

806
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: iCloud for all my photos. So it's a little bit

807
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: different for me. But if you're using that, just know

808
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: that if you delete something off your phone or computer.

809
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: If you're on Apple Photos on your computer and you

810
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: delete something, yes it will delete it off everything. It'll

811
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: lead it delete that video or picture off your phone

812
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: as well. Hope I explained that, and I'm not, and

813
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: you're not sitting there more confused than before. Talk about Facebook.

814
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: You probably heard about this giant Facebook data breach. Facebook

815
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: does not call it a breach. They say that bad

816
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: actors scraped giant amounts of information off of their website,

817
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: including phone numbers, email addresses, all kinds of stuff whatever

818
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: you had on there five hundred million people. So one

819
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: of the big things that was a little different this

820
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: time is phone numbers were and before we've seen email addresses,

821
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: we've seen passwords. It's sad that we're you know, sort

822
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: of immune, not immune, but we've we've grown accustomed to

823
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: seeing this happen and so we're just like, ya on, okay,

824
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: my private information's out there again. Great now what uh?

825
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: And you shouldn't feel like that, bully. I'm just saying

826
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: that it's just happened so often that we're like, you know,

827
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: we just see it. So the phone numbers were the

828
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: things that raised a lot of eyebrows because people are like, oh,

829
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: and Facebook, because we feel like Facebook is always getting hacked,

830
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: but this happened in twenty nineteen. Facebook says that basically

831
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: bad actors abused what's called the contact import feature. So

832
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: if you've ever downloaded the Facebook app or Messenger or

833
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: you know, Instagram, it says, hey, do you want us

834
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: to check your contacts and see if any of them

835
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 1: are on Instagram? And you say yes, And what they're

836
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: doing is they're uploading your address book and then they're

837
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: comparing it against all the people on Facebook that have

838
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: inputted their details like their phone number or their email

839
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: address and saying, oh, we notice here that you know

840
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: this person and you want to friend them. And so

841
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: what these bad actors did apparently is just fake a

842
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: whole bunch of phone numbers to see if it matched

843
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 1: anyone on Facebook. And now they had the information about

844
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: who that person was. So that's what Facebook explained, and

845
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: they said this wasn't a hack. It was sort of

846
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: a you know, using our systems in a way they

847
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: were not intended, and we since patched this up. So

848
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: at the long story short, the phone numbers are still

849
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: out there, and so there is a website if you

850
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: want to check to see if your phone numbers out there.

851
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: It's have I Been Pooned? Have I been pwned? That's

852
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: how you spell it have And you would think that

853
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: would be have I been pawned, but it's pned like owned.

854
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: Have I been poned dot com? Pwned dot com? You

855
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: can type in your phone number and you can see

856
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: if it was part of the breach. Mine was not. Miraculously,

857
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 1: and you might be saying, rich, why what I type

858
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: my phone number into this website? Aren't they just gonna

859
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: steal it? And this guy is a security guy, the

860
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: guy who runs it, and his name's Troy Hunt. He's

861
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: been doing it for many years. You can cross check it.

862
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: He's pretty good. So he's not sitting there trying to

863
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: collect your stuff. He's just trying to make people aware

864
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: of when their stuff is out there on the open web.

865
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: So you have to type in your phone number because

866
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: the reality is, even if your phone numbers out there,

867
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do about it. You can't recall it.

868
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: You can't say, oh, please put this back in your

869
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: in your data storage and keep it in there, please.

870
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: You can't do that. You just know that your phone

871
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: numbers out there for hackers to or spammers to send

872
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: spam to. And I was talking about this on my

873
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: Facebook page Facebook dot com slash rich on tech about

874
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: how all this information that's out there about us is

875
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: really bad because because the smart spammers are gonna start

876
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: linking up our email address with all this personal information

877
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: we have. And so let's say our phone number was

878
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: on here, and so now these smart hacks are texting us,

879
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: and they can text us with our real name and

880
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: with our real email address, and so these texts that

881
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: we get seem more legitimate. And I've always thought about

882
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: this with all these companies that try to like verify

883
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: who we are. I mean how much how many ways

884
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,959
Speaker 1: can they verify who we are? I mean, there's only

885
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: so many pieces of personal information about us. You know,

886
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: the street you grew up on, your mother's may name,

887
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: your date of birth. I mean a lot of these

888
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: things are now floating around out there, especially with the

889
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: amount of information we put out there on the web

890
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: about ourselves. So I mean social security number is one

891
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: of those things that still reserve for like you know,

892
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: hopefully that's not floating around, but sometimes those are floating around.

893
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: So I always am concerned for the future that we

894
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: need a better way of identifying people about who they are,

895
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: because how do you really know someone is who they

896
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: say they are? Because how many ways can you verify them?

897
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: And I always think this is interesting too. We have

898
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: all these computer systems that try to attempt to verify someone.

899
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: But imagine you as one human to another. You can

900
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: have a friend call you up thirty years later and

901
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: you can identify them instantly by the sound of their voice.

902
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: So just think about that for a second. All these

903
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: systems that we create, right, all these systems that eighteen

904
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: T has and Verizon and Google and Facebook and Instagram,

905
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: none of them compare to what our human brain can do,

906
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: which is identify someone by face or by voice in

907
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: about a fraction of a second. Think about that amazing, right,

908
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: And I always I always think about this in my mind.

909
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: All these systems we're coming up with are basically trying

910
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: to to recreate the human brain and the human body

911
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: that's already out there. It's already perfect, it's already exactly

912
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 1: what we need as humans to interact with each other. Right,

913
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: you want to build trust with someone, you can identify

914
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: them in one second. If someone comes up to you

915
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: and says they're your mom, you know if they are

916
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: not one second, right, there's no there's no like faking it.

917
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, someone says your friend from you know, freshman

918
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: year college, you can tell on about one second if

919
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: they are. Anyway, I find that stuff fascinating. So anyway,

920
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: another podcast, the The Extistential rich on Tech podcast. All right,

921
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that is. What does extistential mean?

922
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: Let's see, Uh, I just say these words. I'm not

923
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: even sure what they mean, but let's see extestential relating

924
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: to existence. Philosophy concerned with existence, especially human existence, as

925
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: viewed in the theories of ex distentialism. How do you

926
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: use the word to define the word. Come on, Oxford,

927
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: what are you doing Google logic affirming or implying the

928
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: existence of a thing? Anyway, Okay, maybe it is existential

929
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: Let's get to another question here. kJ says, good morning, Rich.

930
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: I love all the information you shared daily. I've been

931
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: watching KTLA way back since Jennifer Yorke barbar Beck Das.

932
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: I'm a dedicated fan forever to KTLA. Love the way

933
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: you make your audience feel like family. I have a

934
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: question for you, now that you've buttered me up. Okay,

935
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 1: let's hear your question. Can you please give me advice

936
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: on the best cellular phone that is out there? Now?

937
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: I currently have the Note ten I want to upgrade.

938
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: I trust only your advice, not the sales associates. I

939
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: fax email, scan documents all the time for work using

940
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: my phone because I don't have any of these devices

941
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: in my home. If you please give me advice, I

942
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Oh, Lakeisha, kJ l

943
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: J interesting Lakeisha? Okay, Well, anyway, I always it's always

944
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: interesting to see people's names but their email address. Because kJ,

945
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: I would think her first name would be kJ because

946
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: her middle name is Jay. Anyway, Okay, you have a No. Ten.

947
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean a No ten is still pretty solid. I

948
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: would say you could probably upgrade to the Note twenty

949
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: and be just fine if you want to continue with

950
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: the Samsung route. If you don't want to continue the

951
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: Samsung route, I would say a standard iPhone twelve would

952
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,919
Speaker 1: be perfect. And I will say one thing. I do

953
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: find that the iPhone scans documents better than the Samsung's.

954
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why they just do, but I would

955
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: also there's also a new app for the Androids called

956
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: Stack by Google, which does some pretty clean scans. But

957
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: I find that the scanning on the samsungs varies a bit.

958
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's not. But anyway, so those

959
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: are my advice. I would say Note twenty. If you

960
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: want a big phone and you want to continue with Samsung,

961
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: I'd go with the Note twenty. If you don't necessarily

962
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: need the Note, I would say the S twenty one

963
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: plus if you want to continue with a big phone,

964
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: would be just fine, but you don't get the stylus.

965
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: And if you want to switch to iPhone, which you

966
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: know rich you're such an iPhone lover, why do you

967
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: always recommend iPhone? I mean, it's a good phone and

968
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: it's got, you know, everything she needs, and so you know,

969
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: you can do that and you can probably get a

970
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: good trade in price if you go through Samsung dot

971
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: com if you're trading up to a new Samsung, and

972
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: if you go through the iPhone route, Apple will give

973
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: you some money for your Note ten. So those are

974
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: the phones I'd recommend S twenty one plus Note twenty

975
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: if you need not twenty, I think is like that's

976
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: only if you need the you know, biggest best phone

977
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: for you know, if you want to continue on the

978
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: note route. Otherwise, I think S twenty one plus or

979
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: the S twenty one Ultra is kind of like the

980
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: Note ten or the Note twenty rather, but it's like

981
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: the newer version of it, so it's got. I'd probably

982
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: go with that over the note because you can still

983
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: use the stylus with it. In fact, you can use

984
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: your old stylus from the Note ten, So save some

985
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: money there, all right. I think I answered that, let's

986
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: uh move on to Marriott. Is it Marriott or Marriott

987
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: or you know I read somewhere that you're supposed to

988
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: say Marriott like Chariot. Oh sorry, yeah, like Marriott. I

989
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: don't know anyway, now I'm saying it. It's like do

990
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: you ever say a word so many times that it

991
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: feels it sounds weird when you say it, Like like

992
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: if I say Marriott, Marriott, Marriott, Marrio, it so Marriott,

993
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: I say Marriott. Marriott is introducing contactless arrival kiosks. And

994
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: this is not new necessarily, I've seen these in Vegas,

995
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: believe me. But for Marriott Marriott Marriott to do this

996
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 1: is a big deal because they own let's see, seventy

997
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: six hundred properties woo, and they these kiosks are not

998
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: at their main hotels just yet. They're at courtyards. They're

999
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 1: at the Moxie, which is kind of like their hip

1000
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: young fun brand and Townplay suites. And so these kiosks

1001
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: are for guests who prefer low contact interactions, so you

1002
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: can skip the traditional check in desk altogether and complete

1003
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,919
Speaker 1: an easy three step process at the kiosk to check

1004
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: in and get your room keys. And so they have

1005
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: these kiosks have anti microbial technology baked into the touchscreen glass.

1006
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: Then there's UV light to kill bacteria and viruses, and

1007
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: I think this is fantastic. I love it, and I know, oh,

1008
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, it does affect the job situation with the

1009
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,240
Speaker 1: front desk clerks, but let's be real, there's always people

1010
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: that want to bypass the human contact, the human connection.

1011
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: I find it's interesting as I get older, I kind

1012
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: of like the human stuff, but there are places where

1013
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily need it, Like at the grocery store.

1014
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,720
Speaker 1: I do like the cashier because I think they're faster

1015
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: than the self checkouts. The self checkouts I will use

1016
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: if I only have a couple items and if the

1017
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: lines are long at the checkout and everyone's like, ah,

1018
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm not using that because they are so bad. I

1019
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: find that Target is decent with their self checkout. The

1020
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: grocery stores, most of them are terrible. Costco was pretty fast,

1021
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: but you know, it's like anyway, So I would say,

1022
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 1: I think this is fine. And I think in Vegas

1023
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't use the kiosks because I

1024
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: don't know if they're looking for a room upgrade or

1025
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: if they just don't trust them. But you know the

1026
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: reality is it's uh, I don't know. It's just one

1027
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: more option for people, and I think it's pretty cool.

1028
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: And I think these hotels are starting at because you know,

1029
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: do you ever hear that thing where you slip the

1030
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: cashier twenty and they or the front desk perse a

1031
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: twenty person a twenty and they will, you know, upgrade

1032
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: your room, which, by the way, has never worked for me.

1033
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever gotten a room upgrade in

1034
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: my life staying hotels. I mean never. They're always like,

1035
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: we're all full or completely full? What do they say?

1036
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: They say, We're completely committed. That's I think that's the

1037
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: word they use. We're completely committed, mister Demiro, we don't

1038
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: have a room. We noticed it one time I booked

1039
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: a room on Google because it was so simple. It

1040
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 1: was like one click and they had all my information.

1041
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: And the hotel person actually called me out when I

1042
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: asked for an upgrade, and they're like, oh, you booked

1043
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: the cheapest possible way on Google. No way or giving

1044
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: you an upgrade we give We usually give those people

1045
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: the worst rooms. So I was like, oh, and I've

1046
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: heard before from other hotel people that like, you know,

1047
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: if you book on Priceline, they give you like the

1048
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: worst rooms. So I'm talking price line with the price

1049
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: line with the auction bidding. You know, they're like, oh,

1050
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: we reserve our worst rooms for those people. So I

1051
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: don't know. I've I've I've booked all different ways, believe me,

1052
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: and even with diamond status at Hilton, and they still

1053
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: don't care. It seems they're like they might give you,

1054
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: like a better view perhaps, but it doesn't. I find

1055
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: that the hotels you gotta pay if you want an upgrade. Anyway,

1056
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: I digress. So I think the kiosk is cool. I

1057
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: would definitely use it if it was like a Hampton

1058
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: in or something where it's like, you know, courtyard. There's

1059
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: really not a better room at the courtyard. It's not

1060
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: like there's like a fantastic suite you're gonna get upgraded

1061
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: to by sweet talking the front desk person. So I

1062
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: think it works in that kind of hotel. I think

1063
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: that if you're staying at a five star hotel, I

1064
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: don't think there's an expectation that you would be checking

1065
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: yourself in, although if they offered that as an option,

1066
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure some people would use it. And if you're

1067
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: at a Moxie, which is really their their kind of fun,

1068
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: young hip hotel, you do everything on your phone and

1069
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: so you would expect to check in on a kiosk.

1070
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: And I know, with Hilton at least, which is a

1071
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: brand I've been kind of loyal to over the past

1072
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: couple of years, they let you check in on your

1073
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: phone and so you can use your phone as a

1074
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: key for the room. And I don't know, I don't

1075
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: know if Marriott, Marriott Marriott. I don't know if Marriott

1076
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: does that. But anyway, so there you have it, all right,

1077
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: one more story real quick. I thought this was interesting.

1078
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: This little website called Wormhole wormhole dot app, and it's

1079
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 1: a way to send files quickly, end to end encryption,

1080
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: and it's a link that expires in twenty four hours.

1081
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: And I saw this on product ton I thought it

1082
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. You know, they say their security is

1083
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: pretty hip. But if you need to send a file

1084
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: to someone quickly and easily, but it's called wormhole dot

1085
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: app and you dragon, oh send up to ten gigabytes.

1086
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. So if you need to send like

1087
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: a big video file to someone or you know whatever,

1088
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: a big file you get a presentation, you need to

1089
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: share it with someone, you drag and drop it onto

1090
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: this website Wormhole dot app. It creates a link. It's

1091
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: end to end encrypted, which is really good for security,

1092
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: and the link expires in twenty four hours, which is

1093
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: really quick. But you know, if you're just sharing something

1094
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: with someone and time is of the essence, this is

1095
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: a really quick and fast and easy way to do it.

1096
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: There's another website called Firefi Send, which I recommended, but

1097
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: that's shut down and this seems to be a pretty

1098
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: good alternative to that. Ope, you know what that sound means.

1099
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: It is the end of the show. That's gonna do it.

1100
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: For this episode of rich on Tech. If you would

Speaker 1: button to leave a voicemail, which I'm not getting many those,

00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,720
