It's also the place I 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.040 answer the questions you send me. I'm the tech reporter 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.199 at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Hope you are 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:42.160 having a fantastic day. Believe me when I say you 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.280 love to send me questions. I mean I could spend 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:51.440 all day answering questions from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, even 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.440 when I decide to post there. I posted my first 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.800 video to TikTok today, which don't get used to that 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.640 because I you know, I just did that for fun man. 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.320 So last week I was off. I don't know if 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.760 you notice, but if you did, congrats You must listen 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.280 to the show a lot. But otherwise, Yes, I'm back 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.160 from Hawaii. I know, not the time to travel, but 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.480 you know, with the vaccinations and all this good stuff, 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.040 travel is definitely increasing. And so this was my first 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.560 big trip since the pandemic started. Second time I was 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.800 on a plane, so The first was to go up 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.000 to Seattle for ces. This was the second one, And honestly, 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.759 we rescheduled this trip so many times that we said 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.280 we're doing it. We're sticking to it. And the wildest 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.000 part about the whole trip is so my mom was 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.679 scheduled to come with us on this trip to Hawaii. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.120 We had planned this, it's been her dream to go 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.960 to Hawaii. Blah blah blah, and no joke. The morning 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.360 of the trip, the morning of the trip, she is 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.000 flying out from New Jersey to Los Angeles to meet 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.040 us to fly to Hawaii. I get a call about 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:02.360 three am saying, not good. I tripped on my suitcase 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.280 and I can't make it. Because you know, when you're 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.160 a little bit older and you trip, it's not so good. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.080 So she was all bruised and she had to go 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.160 get X rays and thankfully she's okay. But you know, 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.560 to go on a big trip from you know, New 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.120 York to La La to Hawaii, you know, not so 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.920 good when you're you know, when you're totally bruised and 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.400 beaten up. So that was a bummer. But the funny 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.079 thing was we were taking my other mother in law 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:27.720 and so she still came. I mean it was a 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.480 whole big thing. I mean, this is you know, this 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:34.720 was just unbelievable circumstances. So we we had a fantastic 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.080 time in Hawaii. Uh, notwithstanding all the issues or whatever. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.080 The worst part of getting over there was really the 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.600 COVID test that you had to do to test negative 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.480 to get over there. But otherwise, once we were there, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.160 it was great. I mean, obviously the island has been 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.960 greatly impacted by the pandemic, with a lot of things 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.720 closed and not open yet, but overall, once you were 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.120 just like on the beach sitting there, it was fine, 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.200 you know, and we had a really nice time. So 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:05.239 I probably wouldn't recommend going right now, honestly, because if 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.040 you're thinking of doing that, but you know, just wait 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.080 for things to change. We're so close. We are so close. 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.960 We're getting there. Things are, things are happening, They're they're 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.720 in motion. So if you want to watch my video 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.080 on the little trip I put it, you know, I didn't. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.680 I didn't set out to make a video, not like 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.120 a YouTube vlogger, but I you know, I ended up 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.480 recording so many videos on my phone that I ended 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.360 up editing them together to h to make like this 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:29.919 little clip video and you can find that on my 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.680 Facebook page Facebook dot com slash Rich on tech. All right, 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.839 let's get to the first story of the week. Kind 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.520 of a big one. I mean, I don't know if 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.680 you have an LG phone, but LG has said they 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.400 are withdrawing from the mobile industry. Now. You might have 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.040 heard that last week. They announced it, I think when 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.400 I was in Hawaii. But the big update now, and 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.520 it's really sad that LG is exiting industry because you know, 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.320 it's one less choice for consumers. And you know, they 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.280 did have a decent amount of phones. I think in 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.400 recent years they didn't really have hit phone that I 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.520 personally loved. But I always loved what they did with 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.440 their phones, Like I always really enjoyed their software and 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.600 their approach to things. But their camera, you know, it 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.680 was good, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted personally, 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.000 and some of the software the you know, a lot 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.440 of the phones I've noticed in recent years of LG, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.880 and this might have been a problem with them, is 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:25.800 that they were heavily, heavily influenced by the carriers, and 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.920 so you'd get this phone to test and it would 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.520 just be filled with Verizon software or filled with AT 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.000 and T software, and you go to the iPhone and 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.799 it's so clean and it's so pristine, and even Samsung 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.760 in recent years has been really clean that it's just 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.919 it kind of not you know, made for not a 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:45.120 very good experience. Anyway, they said they will give three 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:50.360 years of iOS of sorry not iOS of OS updates 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.680 for their phones, and that applies to phones released in 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.040 twenty nineteen and later the premium G series, the V series, 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.080 the Velvet, and the Wing. Twenty twenty models like the 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.000 LG Stylo and the K series, these were like they're 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:07.680 less premium phones will get to operating system updates. So 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.880 I mean, it's kind of interesting. Good to know that 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.640 they're doing this pledge, but you know, I don't know 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.239 they're gonna still make phones. They're winding down July thirty first, 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:23.640 So sad for LG. You know, it's the end of 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.160 an era because I really my first phone I ever 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.440 tested was the LG Chocolate. That was my first assignment 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.600 ever for c neet back in the day. So it 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.240 just goes to show how how long I've been doing this. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:41.080 All right, let's get to the first question. All right, 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.599 oh gosh, I'm gonna mess up your name. Hormaz says, Hey, Rich, 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.120 thanks for your awesome podcast. I haven't missed even one 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.719 episode in the last three years. Well, thank you. I 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.479 need your advice to buy a perfect wireless charger stand 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.400 for both my iPhone twelve and my Note twenty ultra, 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.520 which vendor and modeled you suggest. I want to have 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.560 one that works with both iPhone and Samsung. Thank you 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:09.279 for your amazing podcast and your help. Well, oh gosh, 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.920 or Moz, I think I'm looking at the perfect one. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.599 I have it on my desk right here. So it 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.400 depends if you want a wireless charger stand, I mean, 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.760 if you just want one device, or I don't know 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.080 if you want to charge two devices at once or 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.920 one device you know, at a time. But there's two 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:29.800 i'd recommend. The first is this one I have in 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.000 my desk right here. We featured it on KTLA today. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.599 It's called the au Key air Corps three and one, 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.719 and it's a three and one charger. It's got a 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:44.120 place for wireless AirPods, whatever earbuds you have that wirelessly charge. 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.040 It's got a place for your Apple Watch, and it's 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.800 got to stand for your phone, and it should work 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.560 with your Samsung. It will work with your Samsung and 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.200 also your iPhone, and so i'd recommend that it's only 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.080 thirty bucks and it's that's a pretty fantastic deal. The 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.719 other one I'd recommend is just a Mophi that has 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.960 it's a two in one charger, so you can lay 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.919 two phones on this device and charge two devices at once, 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.120 and you know that should work as well. So those 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.240 are the two that I would recommend. But realistically, you 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.360 can go on Amazon. If you just need one device 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:19.800 to charge at a time, you can just go on 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.520 Amazon and find a charger. Make sure it's a high 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.160 speed charger for these devices, and you know all Key 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.960 makes them, Anchor makes them. I think i'd probably look 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.000 at those two or Mophi is also the other big 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.720 brand that makes these things. So that's what I would recommend. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.400 And you know, if you want to see my video 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.040 on the Auki, I've got that on my Facebook page 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.800 as well. Let's talk about best Buy. They have a 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.640 new membership program. I don't think it's exactly competing with 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.240 Amazon because Amazon sells everything in the world, but they 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.840 have this new membership program called best Buy Beta. That 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:59.120 does seem pretty compelling if you are a tech person 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.640 that likes to buy, you know, gadgets, you'd have to 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.800 buy a couple of gadgets to make this worth it 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.000 because it is two hundred dollars a year. Here are 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:13.160 the benefits of the membership, dedicated and exclusive concierge support. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.160 So what does that means? That mean like tech support? 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.680 I don't know concierge support. I don't really know what 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.720 that means. But it's available twenty four to seven by phone, chat, email, 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.200 or through the best Buy app. I mean, I don't 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.480 know what that what the concierge would help you with? 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.640 Like you know now they do have unlimited geek squad 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.120 tech support on all technology in your home, whether you 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.400 purchased it at best Buy or not. So that's compelling 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.679 and that could be quite helpful, especially if you have, 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.400 you know, a family member that you are the tech 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.320 support person for. This could help with that. But you know, 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.520 what's the weight line? What's the weight time on that? 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.400 I mean, I don't know how good that is. Either 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.640 fast and free shipping with no minimums. Okay, that's cool, exclusive, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.360 but you know a lot of things you buy best 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.760 Buy our gadgets, they're more expensive, so you know a 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.120 lot of times it's over thirty five anyway or fifty whatever. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.920 Their minimum is exclusive member pricing on a wide range 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.679 of products, free in home, standard delivery and installation on 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.760 most products. I mean, but how many times a year 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.680 are you buying like a dishwasher? So I don't know 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.800 about that one. This is compelling. Two years protection on 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:20.080 most purchases at best Buy, including Apple Care on Apple products. 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.520 Now that is the compelling part because if you buy 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.120 an iPhone once a year, which yeah, not many people 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.240 do that. It's usually once every three years, you know, 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.199 you buy Apple Care for two hundred bucks or whatever costs, 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.080 you know, that could pay for itself, sixty day extended 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.800 return window, and ten percent off subscription services build through 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:44.280 best Buy. So I mean, I don't know, two hundred 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.920 dollars a years a lot. And you know with Amazon 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.600 they're charging what one twenty for their Amazon Prime and 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.920 that's like, you know, you're getting something shipped from Amazon 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.359 or a lot of people are like on a weekly basis. 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.679 For us, it's like twice weekly. So this is interesting. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.560 It's got a lot of perks. You know, there are 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.360 a lot of interesting perks, especially the two year protection. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.640 But you have to figure out if it's worth two 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.520 hundred dollars a year. I mean, that's that adds up 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.720 very quickly. I mean, you do this thing for five years, 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.240 that's one thousand dollars. So are you getting one thousand 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.880 dollars worth of tech support and in home delivery and 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.560 installation and protection. I don't know, but this is starting 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.320 at select stores through at Iowa, Oklahoma, eastern Pennsylvania. Then 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.920 in April it's gonna expand to Minnesota, North Carolina, and Tennessee. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:33.960 I'm surprised they didn't do it in Minnesota at the 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.760 beginning because that's where best Buy I think is headquartered. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.360 So they're gonna have it a total of sixty stores. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.480 Best Buy has many more stores than that, so I 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.520 don't know. Just keep an eye out for it. Best 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:49.120 by best By Beta membership program. Everything's a membership in 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:55.319 the future. All right, let's get to the next question. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:59.079 This comes from. Let's see, I don't have a name 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:03.360 on this. Let's just say sore, okay, Hi, Richard. I'm 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.079 wanting someone calls me Richard, except my mom I'm wanting 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.080 to get a new Samsung watch, but I'm not sure 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.480 what to get. I don't know if Samsung is coming 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.160 out with a new version soon, and if so, the 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.240 watch face will be different. I'm not crazy about the 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.200 round ones. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you so much, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.400 and a heart sent for my T mobile four G 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:27.360 LTE device. Well, let's see, is Samsung coming out with 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.640 a new version soon. They recently came out with one, 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:35.920 so I don't know. Usually their cadence is h Yeah, 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.040 I think it just came out, so I would say 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.600 probably not. And I don't see them changing to a 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.280 square watch face like the Apple Watch. So if you 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.720 don't like the round, ah, that's a tough one. So 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.439 the thing I would look into is perhaps a fitbit. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.000 They do the square faces, and they've got the Fitbit 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.080 versa I think three now. And you know, it's been 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:59.960 a while since I tested a fitbit. I don't know fitit. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.920 It's gone like they like never get in touch with 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.760 me anymore. I don't know why. I mean, the last 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.840 time I did a fipbit review, it was like it 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.840 went bananas online. I mean, I'm talking bananas. I never 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.280 saw so many people click on a review in my life. 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.280 That was the Versa. That was a Fipbit versa. So 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.400 that was like the first like real alternative to the 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.640 Apple Watch that was like a smart watch. And I 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.920 wrote up a little review and it just went wildly viral. 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.720 That was a couple of years ago and ever since then. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.080 And I bought that watch on Amazon and I used 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.320 it for a long time and they never get in 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.520 touch with me after that, and anyway, so I digress. 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.440 So it's been a while since I've tested one. Yes, 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:38.800 I guess I can go out and buy one and 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.840 test it out, but it seems, you know, like I'd 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.640 rather just borrow one and test it and you know whatever, 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.720 So I would just probably go with a Fipbit. There's 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.360 another watch that's coming out called the one Plus Watch, 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.720 which is a nice alternative to the Samsung. I'll have 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.320 my full review on that next week. I've been testing it, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.640 but I can't really talk too much about it right now. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.080 But the fippit would probably be good. The one Plus 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.559 is great, but it's uh, well, I can't say it's 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.439 great just yet. It seems like it's going to be nice, 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.679 but it does have a round watch face. So if 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.480 you want square like Apple, then you know you're gonna 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.360 have to you know, really the Pippit is the way 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.560 to go. The other one is the whys Wyse has 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.160 a smart watch for twenty dollars. And in fact, I'm 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.520 gonna just go ahead and read these next two emails 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.200 because I guess it plays into this. Tomas says, hey, rich, 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.320 I just received my phone today and set it up 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.040 for twenty dollars on my phone. I think he meant 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.480 watch because it says why's watch and set it up 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.160 for twenty dollars plus another five dollars for an extra strap. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:49.439 It's really trick. I'm guessing that means cool, auto correct, 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.400 auto correct. I had to wait almost four months to 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.679 receive it. It's a great deal. It does a lot of 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.880 things the other more expensive watches do. I guess I 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.719 won't be wearing my Rolex from now on. Sent from 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.520 my iPhone. Oh interesting, he's using it with an iPhone too. Yeah, 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.360 the wise Watch works with iPhone Android. The main downside 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.800 to the wise Watch there's no onboard GPS. So but 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.360 it's twenty dollars. I mean, it's a nice little smart watch. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.679 I haven't tested it again. I think they were supposed to 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.840 send it to me. They never did, but whyse I 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.240 love what Whys is doing. They make really really nice 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:25.280 stuff for very inexpensive. Kevin writes, Rich, have you gotten 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.280 to the new wise Watch? My wife and I received 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.080 ours this week. It's nineteen ninety nine. It's pretty fun. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.760 Definitely not an Apple watch, but maybe an overgrown fitpit. 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.160 But for about one hundred and eighty nine dollars less 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.720 than an Apple Watch, it's nifty. Thanks Kevin sent for 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.800 my iPhone. Another iPhone user wow with the wise Watch. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.560 So anyway, that's probably another good option. If you just 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.600 want like a watch that tracks your steps and can 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.200 give you your notifications and you know, all that good stuff, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:53.960 and you know, track a little bit of your fitness, 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.640 the wise Watch is going to be just fine. And 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.400 so is a Fitbit. So those are some good options 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.560 for you there if you don't necessarily want the round 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.880 watch face that Samsung offers. And I've tested the Samsung watches. 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.640 I think they're fine. They're not my favorite, but I 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.160 think they're just fine. I personally, I know, I know Apple, 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.400 you're such an Apple fanboy, Rich, I just I've gotten 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.800 so spoiled with the Apple Watch. I just I love it. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.640 I feel naked without it, I really do. I just 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.880 feel like everything I want out of a smart watch 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:29.720 the Apple Watch does. And it just it's truly unbelievable. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.280 I mean, it really feels like it watches over me. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.040 I told the story about how I almost fell, and 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.480 it would have called nine one one if you noticed that. 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:43.760 It just attracks my runs and my music is on there, 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.400 and the notifications are so good, the haptics are so good. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.240 Everything is just so good about it. And I've said 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.280 this before. I would give up my iPhone quicker than 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.600 I would my Apple Watch because the Apple Watch is 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.160 just so good. It's got cellular connectivity, which I just 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.560 I'll be honest. Okay, I can't talk too much about 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.800 the OnePlus watch, but I went out for a run 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.640 with the OnePlus watch yesterday to test it, and I 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.160 felt like I was missing something because I did not 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.120 have my cellular connectivity that I'm so used to on 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.600 my Apple Watch. And I know these are all things 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.720 that are like, oh, first world problems, rich I get it, Yes, 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.800 they all are one hundred percent, but you know, when 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.200 you test tech for a living. You see these differences, 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.720 and the difference of the Apple Watch among all the 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.640 other wearables that I test is that it really truly 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:34.200 is leaps and bounds ahead of them, and you know 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.640 it's gonna take some catching up. Just the ecosystem that 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.080 Apple has built is so strong and it's so solid, 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.560 and just you know, I don't try to I don't 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.240 set out to say, oh my gosh, I love all 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.920 Apple stuff. I love all you know, whatever Apple does 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.240 is amazing. Like no, I'm actively testing other things out there, 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.600 you know, to see if I can love other stuff 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.480 as much. And the Apple Watch is just one of 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.400 those things where it just has become such a big 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.200 part of my life. We were testing walkie talkie feature 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.200 the other day, which we don't really use, but my 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:04.800 wife and I were testing it and we're like, ah, 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.639 this is so cool. Why don't we ever use this? 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.840 And we didn't use it. After that, All right, let's 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.320 get to oh and Apple story. How convenient rich you 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:19.119 Apple lover? Apples find My Network now offers new third 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.400 party finding experiences. This is from the Apple newsroom. So 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.000 what Apple has done is they have taken on tile 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.520 and they have expanded the find My app. Remember it 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.359 used to be called find my iPhone. Now it's just 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.399 called find My. And what they've done is they've opened 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.360 up their network, they're finding network to third party gadgets. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.520 And yes, I'm sure that these third party gadgets have 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.520 to pay a nice licensing fee to Apple to use this, 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:49.159 but it hear me out, this is pretty phenomenal. So 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.800 three gadgets that now have the find my tech built in, 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.680 one from Belkan, one from Chipolo, and then bikes from 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.960 Van Moove. So Belkan's doing a pair of earbuds the 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.800 uh what are they called, the sound form Freedom true 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.840 wireless earbuds. Then Chopolo has a it's a little finder. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.480 So I hate to use the example of Tile because 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:16.239 this is who they're you know, totally annihilating in the 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:20.160 process here. But Chopolo is kind of an alternative to Tile, 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.199 and I remember liking Chopolo. I can't remember what the 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.640 reason was. I think they have batteries that pop out 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.720 and you can put new ones in there, whereas Tile 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.280 always had the batteries that were built in. Maybe they 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.800 changed that, but it's been a while since I used one. 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.919 But Schoppolo is called the one spot and you can 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.480 put this on keys, luggage, backpacks and more. And to 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.720 be completely honest, I will likely be buying these now 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.800 because here is the OH and then the Van Mouf bikes, 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.760 the S three and the X three. These are e bikes. 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.840 They cost about two thousand dollars and I got to 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.800 test one because not that I think my audience is 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.520 purchasing these e bikes for two thousand dollars, but I 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.960 get so many emails about them. People are really hip 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.840 on these e bikes that are, you know, electronic. They 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.600 kind of give you a little assistance when you're driving them. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.280 I you know, I don't know. To me, it seems 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.880 very expensive, but I don't know. People seem to like them, 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.840 and I should probably get some experience hands on with them. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.560 But the okay, So here's how this this find my works. 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:26.720 It basically turns any Apple products into a beacon like 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.159 a locator for these lost gadgets. So let's say you 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.800 had one of these Chipolo items on your backpack, right 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.800 these little tags, and let's say you lose your backpack 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.680 in the airport, Well, how many people are walking by 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.320 with an iPhone? And yes, I believe you have to 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.439 activate the third party like crowdsourcing feature on it, but 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.679 it's all anonymous and Apple has done their homework, so 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:48.800 they're making sure that it doesn't eat up all your 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.680 power on your phone or doesn't give away your private info. 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.400 But when you walk by, your iPhone sees that little beacon, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.560 that little on someone's backpack and it says, oh, it 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.719 just it just sends that little day to the network 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:04.040 saying oh, we located this. And then you a thousand 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.480 miles away say where's my backpack and the Apple network 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.600 on fine my says, oh, well, we saw it at 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:13.480 the Lax an hour ago, and here's the precise location 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.720 of it, because we had one hundred and seventy five 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.439 iPhones walk past it in the past hour, and so 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:24.040 we're pretty sure it's right here. I mean, that is phenomenal. 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.880 Now you might say, rich Tyle did this years ago, 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.040 this is what Tile did so many years ago. But 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:36.000 here's the thing Tile was. I think it worked, but 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.600 I'm not sure that it was ever able to work 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.000 in the way that Apple was because the difference is 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.600 that someone had to have the Tile app on their 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:50.840 phone enable the finding feature and walk past that device 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.520 and the chances of that happening were a lot less 0:20:54.000 --> 0:21:00.040 than some random iPhone or iPad or computer. If it 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:01.879 does computer, I'm not sure it does. But you know, 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.040 let's just say iPhones alone. I mean, how many iPhones 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.840 are floating around in the world. In the world, So 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.480 if you lose your device in Japan, someone's probably gonna 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.760 walk past it with an iPhone and locate it for you. 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:18.600 So in that case alone, this is phenomenal. And I 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.760 can see why manufacturers are gonna want to jump on board. 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.720 In fact, if I was tile, if I wanted to 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.760 sell some more tiles, I would jump on board. I 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.919 know it probably kills them to do that, but this 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:35.080 is huge, and I will say this again, this is huge. 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:41.159 The potential here is enormous, and I think that the 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.720 beauty here is that these devices, these these little clips, 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.080 you know, these little Chipolo add ons, and the things 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.720 they put inside these uh you know, bikes and stuff. 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.400 They don't have to have their own GPS to locate them. 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.080 They're just piggybacking on the GPS built into every iPhone. 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.640 So this is a huge when I think it has 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.360 a lot of potential, mark my words, this will be 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.440 one of the most successful programs that Apple does. If 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.480 people can get over the privacy concerns of I'm using 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.480 my phone to find other people's stuff, don't worry about it. 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.159 It's gonna be just fine to find. My network is 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.600 a crowdsource network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:23.359 that use Bluetooth to detect missing items nearby, then report 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.960 the approximate location back to the owner. Apple says the 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:29.480 entire process is end to end encrypted and anonymous, so 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.640 no one, not even Apple or the third party manufacturer, 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.520 can view a device's location or information. In fact, I 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.120 think I'm gonna buy some of these Chipolos today. Why 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.200 would I not. I want this on everything. I want 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.560 this on my car, I want this on my backpack, 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:44.159 I want this on my luggage. I want this on 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:46.600 my keys. Oh my gosh. How much is one of 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:51.840 these Chipolos Chipolo one? Now, I will tell you I 0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:58.919 covered Chipolo many many years ago with KTLA, and it 0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.720 was at CES. I saw these things and it didn't 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.600 go anywhere because it was like, well, Tile is like 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:09.200 the big one. Okay. Chipolo one spot starts shipping in June, 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:13.800 and how much? How much? How much? Does not say, 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:21.720 I'm guessing they're expensive of regular Chipolo's twenty five dollars. So, ah, 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:26.359 this is huge. This is going to be big. Oh wow. 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:30.119 And let's see replaceable battery, twelve month battery. Oh, this 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:34.240 is going to be huge. Wow. I'm so I've never 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:36.920 been so excited. But no price has been announced just yet, 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.200 so we will we will keep an eye on that story. Anyway, 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:45.960 let me move on. Let's see. Thomas says, Hey, Rich, 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.960 I love this show. We have the two hundred gigabyte 0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:51.680 thank you. We have the two hundred gigabyte iCloud Family 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:55.040 Share storage plan, and we are running out. I don't 0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:57.200 really want to bump up to the nine to ninety 0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:59.879 nine a month one terabyte plan. I want to remove it. 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:01.880 How can I go about this? Where do I put 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:06.719 these a local drive? Another less expensive cloud service? Thanks Tom, Tom, 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.760 I feel your pain, buddy, because I am right there 0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:11.880 with you now. I pay for the two hundred dollars 0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:14.560 iCloud Family Share plan as well. I think that's three 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:18.560 dollars a month. I also pay for the ten dollars 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:25.800 a month Google Drive plan, which is one two terabytes, 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:29.240 and I believe Apples is two terabytes. As well. I think, yeah, 0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:31.840 two terabytes, so it's two terabytes for ten dollars. Now 0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:34.560 I'm at the place where I'm right up against my 0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:36.440 two terabytes. So I get this thing that says you're 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.919 ninety percent full, and the next level up for me 0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:43.800 is fifty dollars a month, which is like, that's a lot. Now. 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.880 I pay eighteen bucks for YouTube, which you know, I mean, 0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.360 so it's not that big of a deal to pay 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:51.160 for it, but it's still fifty dollars a month. Six 0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.200 hundred dollars a year for cloud storage seems like a lot. Now, 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:56.280 I see what you're saying. You're saying I want to 0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.879 remove the videos. But here's the deal, Tom, You're gonna 0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.399 go through this whole I mean, you're gonna go through 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:04.160 your iCloud and remove all those videos, and then now 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:05.920 you're gonna have them somewhere else, and now when you 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:07.600 want to look for them, you gotta look somewhere else 0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:10.600 for the videos. It's a whole big thing. So I 0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:13.760 would say, at this point, there's not really another place 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.160 where you can put those videos for free. Even Google's 0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:20.359 gonna start charging on June fifteenth for storage, so you 0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:23.639 could I don't even know if you can upload them 0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:25.480 there before then to get them to get them in 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.760 there for free. But I would say, I think you 0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:30.480 just go for the ten dollars a month. I know 0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:32.399 it pains you, and it's ten dollars a month, and 0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.040 it's a new fee, but you're already paying three dollars, 0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.719 so you're only paying seven more dollars a month. And 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.280 you know, do you really want your videos in a 0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:43.280 different place? I don't know. Probably not. Now, a local 0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:45.360 drive is fine. Yeah, you can go to Costco buy 0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:50.000 a four terabyte hard drive for sixty bucks and offload 0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:52.479 your videos there, which is fine, But you still need 0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:53.920 to have them in a second place. So now you're 0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.880 gonna be sitting there, You're gonna be going through your iCloud, 0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:59.520 downloading all these videos, putting them on off separate hard drive. 0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:01.720 Then you got to copy that to another hard drive. 0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:03.240 Then you got to bring that hard drive to a 0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:05.560 friend's house, so you have them in two places. Then 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.119 every time you add new videos, you gotta do the 0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:10.560 same process over and over. So it just sounds like 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:15.040 something you don't want to do. And so I for 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.840 that reason, would recommend just just ponying up for the 0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:20.359 ten dollars a month. I know it's tough. I gotta 0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:22.119 do it for the fifty dollars a month. It's going 0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:26.040 to really kill me to do that. But I think 0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:28.400 I don't know what. I'm gonna try to save money 0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:30.440 somewhere else, and I'm just trying to figure out where 0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:33.120 that is. There's got to be a subscription I have 0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.880 that I'm not getting the full use of. And last 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:40.480 week or the last show I talked about Verizon has 0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:44.080 a twenty dollars a month unlimited storage plan. But again 0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:46.280 it's the same problem. Do I really want to split 0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:48.960 up my stuff? I was thinking about it and I'm like, okay, 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.320 well I can use some you know, some of the 0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:54.119 unlimited storage and Verizon to free up space in my 0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.119 Google Drive. But then I have two different places I 0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:57.880 got to look for stuff, and that, you know, there's 0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:01.480 also something about making life easier, and that's the goal 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:03.879 with all this stuff, and so you want to you know, 0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:07.280 you can't. You can't discount the fact of is my 0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:11.520 life more complicated because I'm saving five dollars? And you know, 0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:13.240 I always say to someone, did you buy a beer 0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:15.280 for five bucks? Have you ever purchased a beer for 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.960 five dollars. How long does that last? A half an hour? 0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:22.720 An hour and it was five bucks. Now think about that, 0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:26.480 you're paying a whole month for seven There's probably something 0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:28.639 in your month that you purchase for seven dollars that 0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:32.400 doesn't last very long. Whether it's a Starbucks, whether it's 0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:35.600 a beer, whether it is you know, whatever it is. 0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:37.760 So just think about it that way. That's the way 0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:40.600 I've gotten through all these little fees and hopefully that 0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:46.560 helps all right. Speaking of Google, I tried Google's latest 0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:48.600 gadget that helps you get a better night's sleep, and 0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:52.840 I'm obsessed. That is the headline from my KTLA segment 0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:58.000 on the Google Nest Hub two. This is you know, 0:27:58.080 --> 0:28:01.360 one of my favorite gadgets is the Google nest It's 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.520 just my favorite part about it is that it shows 0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:06.120 pictures when you're not using it, like all your Google photos. 0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:08.199 It's so cool. And then of course it does all 0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.240 this stuff, like the smart home stuff, like you know, 0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:12.639 you can play music on it, you can answer phone calls, 0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.240 all that good stuff. Now, there's no camera on the 0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.520 original Nest Hub. This has a seven inch screen and 0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:19.320 Google found that a lot of people put it in 0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:21.679 their bedroom because of that, the bigger one has a 0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:25.280 camera and this has Now the new feature on the 0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:28.800 two is a radar sensor. It's called solely, first appeared 0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:32.400 on the Pixel four and they realize that they can 0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:36.320 use this solely radar to figure out when you're sleeping 0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:39.720 and kind of track your sleep patterns. And so I 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:41.520 tested this out. I had this by my bed for 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.400 a couple of weeks and it's fantastic. I mean, you 0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:46.920 just go to sleep and when you wake up, you 0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:49.000 get a little report card of your sleep and it 0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:51.720 tells you how long you slept, how long you're in bed, 0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.480 which gives you your sleep efficiency, So how long it 0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:56.400 took you to go to sleep, how long it took 0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:59.320 you to wake up, how many times you moved throughout 0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:03.400 the night, if you snored, if you coughed, and it's 0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:07.680 pretty wild and so how you're breathing. The idea here 0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.840 is that Google is going to offer insights into your 0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:13.520 sleep plus suggestions on how to make make it better, 0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:17.400 get a better night's sleep. So for me, the suggestion 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:20.120 it had is that I go to bed and wake 0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.440 up at very different times throughout the week, which is 0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:26.080 causing me disturbances. So there you have it. This is 0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:29.360 one hundred dollars. I highly recommend it that the Nest 0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:33.600 Hub is. My only problem with the Nest Hub is 0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:35.800 that it's sluggish. And maybe they're going to fix this 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:38.840 with a software update, but it's like the thing is 0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:40.959 brand new, and you know, I was using it and 0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:43.080 it's like you tap it and it takes like three 0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.040 seconds to respond. Now why is that? Google? Come on? 0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:48.480 So I don't know if they're using like a low 0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:52.600 powered you know, whatever the processor is, or if they 0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:55.040 just you know, I don't think the processor's changed from 0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:57.280 the first one. Perhaps maybe it did, I don't know, 0:29:57.640 --> 0:29:59.560 but it seems just as slow as the first one. 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:01.960 And so that's my only big problem with it. But 0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:04.640 for a hundred bucks, it's a great, you know, digital 0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:07.959 photo display and it does all your smart home stuff 0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:09.320 and if you don't, you know, if you're in the 0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:12.440 Google ecosystem with Google Photos, it's it's a pretty cool 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:14.680 way to see your pictures throughout the day, and then 0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:17.560 with this little feature, it's pretty cool as well. The 0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.440 only thing to know is that Google says this is 0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:25.240 a free preview, so they eventually plan to charge for 0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:29.120 this thing, so just know that they didn't say how much. 0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.600 But that's the idea, is that this is free for now, 0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:37.200 and later on they will likely charge for the service. 0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:38.600 And if you're wondering if they're going to use your 0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.360 sleep data to sell you ads, Google says they will 0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:49.160 not do that. So there you have it. Linda says, 0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:52.040 good morning, Rich. I recently I always joke that people 0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:53.640 say good morning because they see me on TV and 0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:56.040 they go, oh, I need to email that guy. Good morning, Rich. 0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:58.920 I recently found out that my Samsung Note nine is 0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:03.840 resending pictures without me knowing. How do I fix this? Signed? 0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:09.800 Confused Linda, get out look for Android. Oh, Linda, this 0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.640 was a problem a while while back. I mean I'm 0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:14.520 talking like I thought this was like a couple of 0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:16.840 years ago. And I guess if you're on the Note nine, 0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:20.160 that was probably at least yeah, three years ago, because 0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:22.560 at the Note ten and they did the twenty so yeah. 0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:26.080 Uh So it's interesting because I thought they fixed this. 0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:29.760 I would Number one, do a software update. Update all 0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:32.240 of your software, so that means going into the there's 0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:35.000 three places I want you to go. Number one Google 0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:39.000 Play update all your apps there, and then restart your phone. 0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:41.960 Then I want you to go into the Galaxy Store 0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.440 update all of your apps there. That's a secret one. 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.840 On Android phones that are that are Samsung, sometimes you 0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:53.040 miss that. It's not necessarily prevalent on your phone. Sometimes 0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:54.440 you get to pop up maybe that says, hey, you 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.960 got some updates, but maybe turn that off. I would 0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:58.840 go into their update your apps there, and then I 0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:02.080 would go into the software update in the main settings 0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:04.760 and update your phone there, and you know, go through 0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:07.320 that process. So if that does not fix it, I 0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:11.480 would go ahead and switch to Google Messages. This is 0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:16.360 Google's SMS app. I believe that Samsung is replacing their 0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:20.480 messages app with this anyway in the future, and I 0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:22.720 think that's what they're doing. If not, I mean it's 0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:25.160 it's just better anyway. I would just go with the 0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:27.720 Google Messages. So all you have to do is download 0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:32.280 what's called Google Messages, and once you download it, you 0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:35.240 open it up. It will bring over all your old texts. 0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:37.400 You don't have to worry about doing anything special and 0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:39.080 boom you can. It'll say do you want to use 0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:42.160 this as your defall app? Say? Yes? And I don't 0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:45.080 think that app has that problem. So I think the 0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:48.040 software update should probably fix this, but the fact that 0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:51.480 it's still happening this late into the game, I would 0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:53.080 just go ahead and switch. I think that the Google 0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:57.479 Messages app is better anyway, and it's certainly updated more often, 0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:00.200 and just I think they're switching to it anyway, So 0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:04.280 I would just do that. Man, every story and every 0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:07.320 question is leading into the next story. So this this 0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:12.120 goes right into the story that Samsung has unveiled their 0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:16.120 cheapest five G smartphone, and just full disclosure, I have 0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:18.160 not tested this phone, so I can't say how good 0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:23.280 or bad it is. But it's the Samsung A thirty 0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:27.520 two five G A thirty two five G. It's their 0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:31.480 first five G device under three hundred dollars. And I 0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:33.400 was looking at this device because they came out with 0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:38.000 that the Samsung FE last year, which was a pretty 0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:40.320 pretty solid device for the price, but that was still 0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:43.600 like six seven hundred bucks. This is two eighty nine, 0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:48.480 a toot eighty. I mean, that's a steal. And I 0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:51.480 looked at it. They undercut a lot of these other phones, 0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:54.880 like a lot of these other devices that were really inexpensive, 0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:57.960 and Samsung at this point, you know, when it comes 0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:00.120 to Android, and we saw this with LG. It's like 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:03.480 they're just they're killing it in their own way because 0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:05.560 it's a two party it's a what do they call it, 0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:08.040 two pony game, two horse race, I don't know what 0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:12.480 you call it. But it's basically Apple versus Samsung. When 0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:16.360 people think Android, don't even think Android, they think Samsung. 0:34:16.400 --> 0:34:20.160 It's Samsung versus Apple. It's not Google, it's not Android, 0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:24.279 it's not LG, it's not Huawei, it's not Pixel. It 0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:29.640 is Samsung versus iPhone. That's what people think. And so 0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:33.760 Samsung has done a really good job of just building 0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.719 on their momentum of Look, we're the we're the Android king, 0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.319 and we make a lot of different phones at a 0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:41.359 lot of different price points. You don't want to spend 0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:43.640 one thousand bucks on a super high in S twenty 0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:47.279 one or a Note twenty boom. Here's your five G 0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:51.360 A thirty two for twot eighty, and it's got the 0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:54.120 features you need. It's got four K video, it's got 0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:56.759 the scene optimizer for the camera, so the camera should 0:34:56.800 --> 0:34:59.880 be decent. It's got these special ar lenses for snapsh 0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:02.560 which I don't know how many people use that but whatever, 0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:06.239 it's got a huge battery five thousand million hours. That's 0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:08.480 that's among the biggest. In fact, I think that's the 0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:12.160 biggest you can put in a smartphone. It's got the 0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:16.560 fast charging, it's got power saving mode, and it does 0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:20.000 have a micro SD card slot, which is really nice, 0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.960 so you can add extra memory to this forty eight 0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:26.200 megapixel main shooter. It's got a six point five inch 0:35:26.520 --> 0:35:30.680 HD LCD screen, so it's not the highest quality screen. 0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:33.040 And again with a lot of these things, you're not getting, 0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:35.560 you know, the absolute best quality. Maybe you're not getting 0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:37.759 the best quality camera. Maybe you're not getting you know, 0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:40.320 you're not getting the top refresh rate. This is ninety hertz, 0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:43.680 which you know the top is is one twenty. You're 0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:46.360 not getting a super ammal ed screen. You're getting an LCD, 0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:49.759 you're not getting the full HD, You're just getting an HD, so, 0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:51.960 you know, but it's still fine. I think for the 0:35:52.040 --> 0:35:55.640 average user, you're not getting the most ram it's four gigs, 0:35:55.640 --> 0:35:57.640 and some of these phones now and Android top out 0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:00.840 at twelve. You're not getting the most memory. It's sixty 0:36:00.840 --> 0:36:04.680 four gigs, which generally one twenty eight is the base nowadays. 0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:08.719 But again you have that extra memory slot, you are 0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:12.879 getting fast charging. I don't see wireless charging, so you're 0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:16.839 not getting that. But the reality is, for most many, 0:36:16.880 --> 0:36:20.120 many people who just won an expensive phone, two hundred 0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:22.759 and eighty dollars is the difference between saving up your 0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:24.840 money for a couple of months and buying a phone 0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:28.799 and having a phone payment for twenty four months. So 0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:31.040 why buy a thousand dollars phone with all these things 0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:33.040 you don't need when you know you can buy a 0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:35.920 two hundred and eighty dollars phone and get ninety nine 0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:38.319 percent of what you need. Yeah, your pictures may not 0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:40.800 be the absolute best, it may not be the fastest, 0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:43.799 it may not have wireless charging, but it's going to 0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:47.120 be pretty good for the price. And it's a Samsung, 0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:49.280 so it's going to be a nice, you know, overall 0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:51.919 nice device with a lot of support, a lot of accessories. 0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:54.280 So check it out if you want a cheap phone, 0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:59.040 a thirty two to five G from Samsung. That's the 0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:06.600 big announcement. They're cheapest five G phone yet. All right, 0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:10.000 Rich writes in uh, can you tell me if I 0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.920 delete a picture from my picture account on my laptop 0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:15.560 and I have an iCloud account, or I have a 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:19.840 cloud account where I think the picture goes for backup. 0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:22.279 Is the picture also deleted from the cloud account or 0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:24.360 do I have access to the cloud account to delete 0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:27.520 it there? Also? Thanks always enjoy your text segments on 0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:30.040 the news Rich well, thank you rich. From one rich 0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:33.239 to another rich Richie Rich, thanks Rich, thanks a lot, 0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:37.360 thanks a bunch um. Okay, so this gets a little confusing, 0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:39.880 and I know a lot of people are confused by this, 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:43.279 so let me explain what happens. Okay, So, if you 0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:47.920 are using Google Photos or something similar on your phone, right, so, 0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:53.560 you've downloaded Google Photos, You've downloaded one drive, You've downloaded 0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:57.720 Amazon Photos. What it does is it takes that picture 0:37:57.719 --> 0:37:59.840 from your phone, it sucks it up and puts it 0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:03.480 in to the cloud, and so it now lives in 0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:06.839 the cloud. And if you're on your smartphone and you 0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:11.320 go into your smartphone's photo gallery, not the Amazon Photos app, 0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:15.320 not the Google Photos app, and you delete that picture, 0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:20.120 it will remain safe and secure in the cloud. So 0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:22.200 that's the way it works. If you go to your 0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:25.920 desktop computer and you go to Amazon photos dot com 0:38:26.400 --> 0:38:28.640 and you look for that photo and you say, eh, 0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:30.839 it's not very good, and you delete it, it will 0:38:30.880 --> 0:38:33.040 delete it off the cloud, but it will not delete 0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:37.080 it off your phone. Do that makes sense? So stick 0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:40.040 with me here. If you have Google Photos, same thing. 0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:42.880 You upload a picture from your phone to Google Photos, 0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:45.400 you go on Google Photos on the web app on 0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:48.200 your laptop, you delete a picture in Google Photos, it 0:38:48.239 --> 0:38:51.400 remains on your phone. If you delete that same picture 0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:54.920 from your gallery on your phone, it remains in Google Photos. 0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:57.200 So imagine it's kind of taking a copy of that 0:38:57.280 --> 0:38:59.600 picture and sucking it up to the cloud and keeping 0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:04.520 it there. Now Here is the big exception. If you 0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:08.080 go into Google Photos on your phone and you say, oh, 0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:11.360 let me delete that picture from the app, it says, 0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:13.839 would you also like us to delete this picture from 0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:16.440 your gallery? And you say yes, and it will delete 0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:21.240 it off your phone. I know. Now, if you're using iCloud, 0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:25.040 this is where it gets really interesting. If you're using 0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:30.480 iCloud and you sink your pictures from iCloud, you know, 0:39:30.640 --> 0:39:33.759 from your phone gallery to iCloud, and you delete a 0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:37.239 picture off your phone, it deletes it across everywhere. It 0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:39.160 will be gone out of the cloud, it will be 0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:42.719 gone off your laptop. If you use Apple Photos, it 0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.239 will be gone off the web. If you access your 0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:48.279 photos through through iCloud on the web, it will be 0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:51.480 gone everywhere. So this is often a thing that happens 0:39:51.480 --> 0:39:54.120 to people. They delete a picture and they think it's 0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:56.640 going to be deleted just from their phone, and it 0:39:56.640 --> 0:39:58.839 deletes it off the cloud. So what you need to 0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:02.920 do in the event that you use iCloud is you 0:40:02.960 --> 0:40:05.239 need to go into settings and use a setting called 0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:11.000 Optimize Phone Storage. And what this does is iCloud will 0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:14.560 manage your storage on your phone. Because you're thinking, well, 0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:18.480 you know if I if I upload to the cloud, 0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:20.719 I can delete it off my phone. No, not if 0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:24.080 you using iCloud, because it's not. It doesn't work that way. 0:40:24.520 --> 0:40:27.360 It's an integrated platform. So it's a little bit different 0:40:27.360 --> 0:40:29.640 and it's a little trickier because if you go deleting 0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:33.000 things off your phone, it deletes it off iCloud as well. 0:40:33.239 --> 0:40:36.319 So what you need to do is let Apple manage it. 0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:39.200 And here's how they manage it. If you have that 0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:42.680 Optimized Phone Storage turned on in your photo settings iCloud 0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:46.279 Photo Settings, it will look through your phone and as 0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:48.680 you reach the end of your storage on your phone, 0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:51.279 the physical storage on your phone. It will say, okay, 0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:54.719 we're gonna we're gonna offload some of these pictures. So 0:40:54.760 --> 0:40:57.800 what it does is it deletes some of the pictures 0:40:57.840 --> 0:41:00.680 off your phone, but it keeps a tiny copy, like 0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:03.880 a thumbnail copy, but it keeps the original in the cloud. 0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:06.399 And so let's say you go back, you scroll back 0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:08.520 on your camera roll all the way a year ago, 0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:11.880 and you notice that there's a little cloud icon in 0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:14.440 the corner. That means that the photo is not actually 0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:17.279 on your phone, it's grabbing that data from iCloud. When 0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:20.920 you tap that picture, it will immediately download it from 0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:22.600 the cloud and it will be on your phone just 0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:27.319 like it was before. I know this who very very 0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:31.120 confusing f from your mortals that may not be a 0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:34.920 tech nerd that you know specializes in this stuff, but 0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:38.879 it's what you need to know is if you know, 0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:44.080 if you're using iCloud, if you're you know, just if 0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:46.399 you're using iCloud, don't delete stuff off your phone. Let's 0:41:46.480 --> 0:41:48.920 make sure that that feature is in there. And if 0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:50.680 you need to free up storage, like if there's something 0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:53.279 you don't need like a picture or a video, like 0:41:53.320 --> 0:41:54.919 for me, I ran out of storage on my phone. 0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:56.719 The other day, I went through and I deleted a 0:41:56.719 --> 0:41:59.759 whole bunch of videos on my camera roll number one. 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:01.920 I know those videos are backed up in Google Photos, 0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:05.760 so I'm fine doing that. If I was just using iCloud, 0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:09.080 I would only delete things that I knew or that 0:42:09.200 --> 0:42:12.200 were stuff I don't need, because I don't you. I 0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:15.120 don't use the optimized iPhone storage because I don't use 0:42:15.320 --> 0:42:17.319 iCloud for all my photos. So it's a little bit 0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:19.040 different for me. But if you're using that, just know 0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:21.160 that if you delete something off your phone or computer. 0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:23.360 If you're on Apple Photos on your computer and you 0:42:23.440 --> 0:42:25.640 delete something, yes it will delete it off everything. It'll 0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.040 lead it delete that video or picture off your phone 0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:31.400 as well. Hope I explained that, and I'm not, and 0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:36.320 you're not sitting there more confused than before. Talk about Facebook. 0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:40.520 You probably heard about this giant Facebook data breach. Facebook 0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:42.879 does not call it a breach. They say that bad 0:42:42.920 --> 0:42:47.759 actors scraped giant amounts of information off of their website, 0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:51.880 including phone numbers, email addresses, all kinds of stuff whatever 0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:56.279 you had on there five hundred million people. So one 0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:58.040 of the big things that was a little different this 0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:03.280 time is phone numbers were and before we've seen email addresses, 0:43:03.320 --> 0:43:06.080 we've seen passwords. It's sad that we're you know, sort 0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:09.360 of immune, not immune, but we've we've grown accustomed to 0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:12.920 seeing this happen and so we're just like, ya on, okay, 0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:16.799 my private information's out there again. Great now what uh? 0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:18.880 And you shouldn't feel like that, bully. I'm just saying 0:43:18.920 --> 0:43:21.560 that it's just happened so often that we're like, you know, 0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:24.200 we just see it. So the phone numbers were the 0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:26.560 things that raised a lot of eyebrows because people are like, oh, 0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:29.880 and Facebook, because we feel like Facebook is always getting hacked, 0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:33.480 but this happened in twenty nineteen. Facebook says that basically 0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:38.360 bad actors abused what's called the contact import feature. So 0:43:39.080 --> 0:43:42.080 if you've ever downloaded the Facebook app or Messenger or 0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:45.759 you know, Instagram, it says, hey, do you want us 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:47.520 to check your contacts and see if any of them 0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:49.439 are on Instagram? And you say yes, And what they're 0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:52.799 doing is they're uploading your address book and then they're 0:43:52.840 --> 0:43:55.400 comparing it against all the people on Facebook that have 0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:58.520 inputted their details like their phone number or their email 0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:00.840 address and saying, oh, we notice here that you know 0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:04.239 this person and you want to friend them. And so 0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:08.640 what these bad actors did apparently is just fake a 0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:11.640 whole bunch of phone numbers to see if it matched 0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:14.479 anyone on Facebook. And now they had the information about 0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:18.319 who that person was. So that's what Facebook explained, and 0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:20.160 they said this wasn't a hack. It was sort of 0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:24.200 a you know, using our systems in a way they 0:44:24.239 --> 0:44:26.799 were not intended, and we since patched this up. So 0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:30.040 at the long story short, the phone numbers are still 0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:31.880 out there, and so there is a website if you 0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:34.000 want to check to see if your phone numbers out there. 0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:40.080 It's have I Been Pooned? Have I been pwned? That's 0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:43.400 how you spell it have And you would think that 0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:47.240 would be have I been pawned, but it's pned like owned. 0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:51.840 Have I been poned dot com? Pwned dot com? You 0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:54.000 can type in your phone number and you can see 0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:56.880 if it was part of the breach. Mine was not. Miraculously, 0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:00.399 and you might be saying, rich, why what I type 0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:02.360 my phone number into this website? Aren't they just gonna 0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:05.160 steal it? And this guy is a security guy, the 0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:07.920 guy who runs it, and his name's Troy Hunt. He's 0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:10.080 been doing it for many years. You can cross check it. 0:45:10.120 --> 0:45:12.360 He's pretty good. So he's not sitting there trying to 0:45:12.360 --> 0:45:15.160 collect your stuff. He's just trying to make people aware 0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:18.480 of when their stuff is out there on the open web. 0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:20.760 So you have to type in your phone number because 0:45:20.760 --> 0:45:22.560 the reality is, even if your phone numbers out there, 0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:24.640 there's nothing you can do about it. You can't recall it. 0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:27.759 You can't say, oh, please put this back in your 0:45:27.840 --> 0:45:30.560 in your data storage and keep it in there, please. 0:45:30.600 --> 0:45:33.520 You can't do that. You just know that your phone 0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:37.160 numbers out there for hackers to or spammers to send 0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:40.680 spam to. And I was talking about this on my 0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:43.600 Facebook page Facebook dot com slash rich on tech about 0:45:43.920 --> 0:45:46.279 how all this information that's out there about us is 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:51.560 really bad because because the smart spammers are gonna start 0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:54.800 linking up our email address with all this personal information 0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:57.719 we have. And so let's say our phone number was 0:45:57.760 --> 0:46:01.399 on here, and so now these smart hacks are texting us, 0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:04.400 and they can text us with our real name and 0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:06.839 with our real email address, and so these texts that 0:46:06.840 --> 0:46:10.480 we get seem more legitimate. And I've always thought about 0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:13.360 this with all these companies that try to like verify 0:46:13.400 --> 0:46:15.960 who we are. I mean how much how many ways 0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:17.959 can they verify who we are? I mean, there's only 0:46:18.000 --> 0:46:20.400 so many pieces of personal information about us. You know, 0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:23.000 the street you grew up on, your mother's may name, 0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:25.480 your date of birth. I mean a lot of these 0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:28.200 things are now floating around out there, especially with the 0:46:28.200 --> 0:46:30.600 amount of information we put out there on the web 0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:33.600 about ourselves. So I mean social security number is one 0:46:33.640 --> 0:46:37.160 of those things that still reserve for like you know, 0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:41.000 hopefully that's not floating around, but sometimes those are floating around. 0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:43.600 So I always am concerned for the future that we 0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:46.880 need a better way of identifying people about who they are, 0:46:46.960 --> 0:46:49.560 because how do you really know someone is who they 0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:53.520 say they are? Because how many ways can you verify them? 0:46:54.000 --> 0:46:56.880 And I always think this is interesting too. We have 0:46:56.920 --> 0:46:59.840 all these computer systems that try to attempt to verify someone. 0:47:00.320 --> 0:47:03.200 But imagine you as one human to another. You can 0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:05.359 have a friend call you up thirty years later and 0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:08.040 you can identify them instantly by the sound of their voice. 0:47:08.520 --> 0:47:10.560 So just think about that for a second. All these 0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:14.480 systems that we create, right, all these systems that eighteen 0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:19.160 T has and Verizon and Google and Facebook and Instagram, 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:22.920 none of them compare to what our human brain can do, 0:47:23.320 --> 0:47:27.480 which is identify someone by face or by voice in 0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:32.560 about a fraction of a second. Think about that amazing, right, 0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:34.520 And I always I always think about this in my mind. 0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:38.800 All these systems we're coming up with are basically trying 0:47:38.920 --> 0:47:44.200 to to recreate the human brain and the human body 0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:47.680 that's already out there. It's already perfect, it's already exactly 0:47:47.719 --> 0:47:50.359 what we need as humans to interact with each other. Right, 0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:53.480 you want to build trust with someone, you can identify 0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:56.719 them in one second. If someone comes up to you 0:47:56.760 --> 0:47:59.239 and says they're your mom, you know if they are 0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:03.719 not one second, right, there's no there's no like faking it. 0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:08.200 You know, someone says your friend from you know, freshman 0:48:08.280 --> 0:48:10.600 year college, you can tell on about one second if 0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:14.960 they are. Anyway, I find that stuff fascinating. So anyway, 0:48:15.920 --> 0:48:21.279 another podcast, the The Extistential rich on Tech podcast. All right, 0:48:21.320 --> 0:48:23.680 I don't even know if that is. What does extistential mean? 0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:27.480 Let's see, Uh, I just say these words. I'm not 0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:34.160 even sure what they mean, but let's see extestential relating 0:48:34.160 --> 0:48:39.080 to existence. Philosophy concerned with existence, especially human existence, as 0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:42.400 viewed in the theories of ex distentialism. How do you 0:48:42.560 --> 0:48:48.000 use the word to define the word. Come on, Oxford, 0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:52.759 what are you doing Google logic affirming or implying the 0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:56.040 existence of a thing? Anyway, Okay, maybe it is existential 0:48:56.360 --> 0:49:04.319 Let's get to another question here. kJ says, good morning, Rich. 0:49:04.480 --> 0:49:06.600 I love all the information you shared daily. I've been 0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:10.400 watching KTLA way back since Jennifer Yorke barbar Beck Das. 0:49:11.320 --> 0:49:14.279 I'm a dedicated fan forever to KTLA. Love the way 0:49:14.320 --> 0:49:16.160 you make your audience feel like family. I have a 0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:18.440 question for you, now that you've buttered me up. Okay, 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:21.240 let's hear your question. Can you please give me advice 0:49:21.320 --> 0:49:23.719 on the best cellular phone that is out there? Now? 0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:25.880 I currently have the Note ten I want to upgrade. 0:49:25.920 --> 0:49:29.160 I trust only your advice, not the sales associates. I 0:49:29.360 --> 0:49:32.520 fax email, scan documents all the time for work using 0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:34.800 my phone because I don't have any of these devices 0:49:34.840 --> 0:49:38.000 in my home. If you please give me advice, I 0:49:38.080 --> 0:49:45.160 greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Oh, Lakeisha, kJ l 0:49:45.360 --> 0:49:50.880 J interesting Lakeisha? Okay, Well, anyway, I always it's always 0:49:50.880 --> 0:49:53.759 interesting to see people's names but their email address. Because kJ, 0:49:53.960 --> 0:49:56.640 I would think her first name would be kJ because 0:49:56.640 --> 0:50:01.680 her middle name is Jay. Anyway, Okay, you have a No. Ten. 0:50:01.880 --> 0:50:05.440 I mean a No ten is still pretty solid. I 0:50:05.440 --> 0:50:07.520 would say you could probably upgrade to the Note twenty 0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:11.840 and be just fine if you want to continue with 0:50:11.880 --> 0:50:14.200 the Samsung route. If you don't want to continue the 0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:17.719 Samsung route, I would say a standard iPhone twelve would 0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:21.919 be perfect. And I will say one thing. I do 0:50:22.040 --> 0:50:28.040 find that the iPhone scans documents better than the Samsung's. 0:50:28.080 --> 0:50:32.000 I don't know why they just do, but I would 0:50:32.000 --> 0:50:35.160 also there's also a new app for the Androids called 0:50:36.440 --> 0:50:40.360 Stack by Google, which does some pretty clean scans. But 0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:44.200 I find that the scanning on the samsungs varies a bit. 0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:50.120 Sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's not. But anyway, so those 0:50:50.120 --> 0:50:52.040 are my advice. I would say Note twenty. If you 0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:54.800 want a big phone and you want to continue with Samsung, 0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.440 I'd go with the Note twenty. If you don't necessarily 0:50:57.520 --> 0:50:59.839 need the Note, I would say the S twenty one 0:50:59.880 --> 0:51:02.200 plus if you want to continue with a big phone, 0:51:02.239 --> 0:51:05.440 would be just fine, but you don't get the stylus. 0:51:05.480 --> 0:51:09.560 And if you want to switch to iPhone, which you 0:51:09.560 --> 0:51:11.640 know rich you're such an iPhone lover, why do you 0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:13.799 always recommend iPhone? I mean, it's a good phone and 0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:17.400 it's got, you know, everything she needs, and so you know, 0:51:17.440 --> 0:51:18.799 you can do that and you can probably get a 0:51:18.800 --> 0:51:21.520 good trade in price if you go through Samsung dot 0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:24.160 com if you're trading up to a new Samsung, and 0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:26.920 if you go through the iPhone route, Apple will give 0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:29.000 you some money for your Note ten. So those are 0:51:29.000 --> 0:51:32.760 the phones I'd recommend S twenty one plus Note twenty 0:51:32.840 --> 0:51:36.040 if you need not twenty, I think is like that's 0:51:36.200 --> 0:51:40.600 only if you need the you know, biggest best phone 0:51:40.719 --> 0:51:42.239 for you know, if you want to continue on the 0:51:42.280 --> 0:51:45.279 note route. Otherwise, I think S twenty one plus or 0:51:45.320 --> 0:51:48.160 the S twenty one Ultra is kind of like the 0:51:48.200 --> 0:51:51.800 Note ten or the Note twenty rather, but it's like 0:51:51.840 --> 0:51:54.120 the newer version of it, so it's got. I'd probably 0:51:54.120 --> 0:51:56.319 go with that over the note because you can still 0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:57.920 use the stylus with it. In fact, you can use 0:51:57.960 --> 0:51:59.920 your old stylus from the Note ten, So save some 0:52:00.080 --> 0:52:04.520 money there, all right. I think I answered that, let's 0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:08.880 uh move on to Marriott. Is it Marriott or Marriott 0:52:09.000 --> 0:52:11.400 or you know I read somewhere that you're supposed to 0:52:11.400 --> 0:52:15.680 say Marriott like Chariot. Oh sorry, yeah, like Marriott. I 0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:17.640 don't know anyway, now I'm saying it. It's like do 0:52:17.680 --> 0:52:19.200 you ever say a word so many times that it 0:52:19.239 --> 0:52:21.440 feels it sounds weird when you say it, Like like 0:52:21.480 --> 0:52:28.799 if I say Marriott, Marriott, Marriott, Marrio, it so Marriott, 0:52:29.200 --> 0:52:36.839 I say Marriott. Marriott is introducing contactless arrival kiosks. And 0:52:37.160 --> 0:52:39.800 this is not new necessarily, I've seen these in Vegas, 0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:44.080 believe me. But for Marriott Marriott Marriott to do this 0:52:44.680 --> 0:52:47.760 is a big deal because they own let's see, seventy 0:52:47.760 --> 0:52:53.200 six hundred properties woo, and they these kiosks are not 0:52:53.320 --> 0:52:55.960 at their main hotels just yet. They're at courtyards. They're 0:52:55.960 --> 0:52:57.919 at the Moxie, which is kind of like their hip 0:52:58.000 --> 0:53:06.640 young fun brand and Townplay suites. And so these kiosks 0:53:06.719 --> 0:53:11.040 are for guests who prefer low contact interactions, so you 0:53:11.080 --> 0:53:14.120 can skip the traditional check in desk altogether and complete 0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:18.919 an easy three step process at the kiosk to check 0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:21.640 in and get your room keys. And so they have 0:53:21.920 --> 0:53:26.200 these kiosks have anti microbial technology baked into the touchscreen glass. 0:53:26.640 --> 0:53:30.239 Then there's UV light to kill bacteria and viruses, and 0:53:30.840 --> 0:53:35.000 I think this is fantastic. I love it, and I know, oh, 0:53:35.600 --> 0:53:38.600 you know, it does affect the job situation with the 0:53:38.640 --> 0:53:42.240 front desk clerks, but let's be real, there's always people 0:53:42.560 --> 0:53:46.000 that want to bypass the human contact, the human connection. 0:53:46.320 --> 0:53:48.759 I find it's interesting as I get older, I kind 0:53:48.760 --> 0:53:51.080 of like the human stuff, but there are places where 0:53:51.080 --> 0:53:53.640 I don't necessarily need it, Like at the grocery store. 0:53:54.160 --> 0:53:56.720 I do like the cashier because I think they're faster 0:53:56.840 --> 0:54:00.759 than the self checkouts. The self checkouts I will use 0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:03.040 if I only have a couple items and if the 0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:05.600 lines are long at the checkout and everyone's like, ah, 0:54:05.600 --> 0:54:08.120 I'm not using that because they are so bad. I 0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:12.120 find that Target is decent with their self checkout. The 0:54:12.160 --> 0:54:16.520 grocery stores, most of them are terrible. Costco was pretty fast, 0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:20.359 but you know, it's like anyway, So I would say, 0:54:22.160 --> 0:54:24.760 I think this is fine. And I think in Vegas 0:54:25.440 --> 0:54:28.279 a lot of people don't use the kiosks because I 0:54:28.280 --> 0:54:30.200 don't know if they're looking for a room upgrade or 0:54:30.239 --> 0:54:34.080 if they just don't trust them. But you know the 0:54:34.120 --> 0:54:38.319 reality is it's uh, I don't know. It's just one 0:54:38.360 --> 0:54:40.520 more option for people, and I think it's pretty cool. 0:54:40.640 --> 0:54:44.200 And I think these hotels are starting at because you know, 0:54:44.360 --> 0:54:45.680 do you ever hear that thing where you slip the 0:54:45.719 --> 0:54:48.800 cashier twenty and they or the front desk perse a 0:54:48.880 --> 0:54:52.680 twenty person a twenty and they will, you know, upgrade 0:54:52.680 --> 0:54:54.759 your room, which, by the way, has never worked for me. 0:54:55.360 --> 0:54:57.520 I don't think I've ever gotten a room upgrade in 0:54:57.680 --> 0:55:02.560 my life staying hotels. I mean never. They're always like, 0:55:02.800 --> 0:55:05.920 we're all full or completely full? What do they say? 0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:08.319 They say, We're completely committed. That's I think that's the 0:55:08.360 --> 0:55:12.279 word they use. We're completely committed, mister Demiro, we don't 0:55:12.320 --> 0:55:15.120 have a room. We noticed it one time I booked 0:55:15.120 --> 0:55:17.759 a room on Google because it was so simple. It 0:55:17.840 --> 0:55:19.800 was like one click and they had all my information. 0:55:20.400 --> 0:55:23.040 And the hotel person actually called me out when I 0:55:23.040 --> 0:55:25.000 asked for an upgrade, and they're like, oh, you booked 0:55:25.000 --> 0:55:27.600 the cheapest possible way on Google. No way or giving 0:55:27.640 --> 0:55:29.600 you an upgrade we give We usually give those people 0:55:29.640 --> 0:55:31.719 the worst rooms. So I was like, oh, and I've 0:55:31.760 --> 0:55:34.040 heard before from other hotel people that like, you know, 0:55:34.040 --> 0:55:35.759 if you book on Priceline, they give you like the 0:55:35.760 --> 0:55:40.160 worst rooms. So I'm talking price line with the price 0:55:40.160 --> 0:55:42.799 line with the auction bidding. You know, they're like, oh, 0:55:42.880 --> 0:55:45.560 we reserve our worst rooms for those people. So I 0:55:45.560 --> 0:55:48.440 don't know. I've I've I've booked all different ways, believe me, 0:55:48.719 --> 0:55:52.520 and even with diamond status at Hilton, and they still 0:55:52.520 --> 0:55:55.279 don't care. It seems they're like they might give you, 0:55:55.320 --> 0:55:58.400 like a better view perhaps, but it doesn't. I find 0:55:58.840 --> 0:56:01.880 that the hotels you gotta pay if you want an upgrade. Anyway, 0:56:02.080 --> 0:56:04.880 I digress. So I think the kiosk is cool. I 0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:07.680 would definitely use it if it was like a Hampton 0:56:07.760 --> 0:56:09.799 in or something where it's like, you know, courtyard. There's 0:56:09.840 --> 0:56:12.400 really not a better room at the courtyard. It's not 0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:15.400 like there's like a fantastic suite you're gonna get upgraded 0:56:15.440 --> 0:56:17.840 to by sweet talking the front desk person. So I 0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:22.480 think it works in that kind of hotel. I think 0:56:22.480 --> 0:56:24.360 that if you're staying at a five star hotel, I 0:56:24.360 --> 0:56:26.920 don't think there's an expectation that you would be checking 0:56:26.960 --> 0:56:29.560 yourself in, although if they offered that as an option, 0:56:29.600 --> 0:56:32.440 I'm sure some people would use it. And if you're 0:56:32.480 --> 0:56:35.080 at a Moxie, which is really their their kind of fun, 0:56:35.200 --> 0:56:38.359 young hip hotel, you do everything on your phone and 0:56:38.440 --> 0:56:40.960 so you would expect to check in on a kiosk. 0:56:41.440 --> 0:56:44.960 And I know, with Hilton at least, which is a 0:56:44.960 --> 0:56:47.160 brand I've been kind of loyal to over the past 0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:49.560 couple of years, they let you check in on your 0:56:49.600 --> 0:56:51.960 phone and so you can use your phone as a 0:56:52.040 --> 0:56:54.160 key for the room. And I don't know, I don't 0:56:54.200 --> 0:56:57.040 know if Marriott, Marriott Marriott. I don't know if Marriott 0:56:57.200 --> 0:57:00.000 does that. But anyway, so there you have it, all right, 0:57:00.040 --> 0:57:02.200 one more story real quick. I thought this was interesting. 0:57:03.560 --> 0:57:08.200 This little website called Wormhole wormhole dot app, and it's 0:57:08.239 --> 0:57:11.320 a way to send files quickly, end to end encryption, 0:57:11.880 --> 0:57:14.120 and it's a link that expires in twenty four hours. 0:57:14.680 --> 0:57:16.920 And I saw this on product ton I thought it 0:57:16.960 --> 0:57:20.320 was pretty cool. You know, they say their security is 0:57:20.360 --> 0:57:23.040 pretty hip. But if you need to send a file 0:57:23.080 --> 0:57:27.560 to someone quickly and easily, but it's called wormhole dot 0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:31.040 app and you dragon, oh send up to ten gigabytes. 0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:33.240 That's pretty good. So if you need to send like 0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:36.400 a big video file to someone or you know whatever, 0:57:36.600 --> 0:57:38.440 a big file you get a presentation, you need to 0:57:38.480 --> 0:57:40.760 share it with someone, you drag and drop it onto 0:57:40.760 --> 0:57:43.760 this website Wormhole dot app. It creates a link. It's 0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:46.240 end to end encrypted, which is really good for security, 0:57:46.800 --> 0:57:49.880 and the link expires in twenty four hours, which is 0:57:49.920 --> 0:57:52.720 really quick. But you know, if you're just sharing something 0:57:52.800 --> 0:57:54.880 with someone and time is of the essence, this is 0:57:54.880 --> 0:57:57.160 a really quick and fast and easy way to do it. 0:57:57.400 --> 0:58:02.400 There's another website called Firefi Send, which I recommended, but 0:58:02.440 --> 0:58:05.720 that's shut down and this seems to be a pretty 0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:11.800 good alternative to that. Ope, you know what that sound means. 0:58:13.440 --> 0:58:16.800 It is the end of the show. That's gonna do it. 0:58:16.840 --> 0:58:19.920 For this episode of rich on Tech. If you would 0:58:19.920 --> 0:58:21.840 like to submit a question for me to answer, there 0:58:21.840 --> 0:58:23.960 are two ways to do it. Just go to rich 0:58:24.040 --> 0:58:26.680 on Tech dot tv Slash podcast and hit the microphone 0:58:26.680 --> 0:58:29.600 button to leave a voicemail, which I'm not getting many those, 0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:32.080 so clearly nobody likes to do that better yet, Go 0:58:32.080 --> 0:58:34.680 to my Facebook page Facebook dot com slash rich on Tech, 0:58:34.760 --> 0:58:38.840 hit the big blue send email button and that will 0:58:39.040 --> 0:58:42.360 send an email to me hello at richon Tech dot tv. 0:58:43.240 --> 0:58:45.440 I like the Facebook method because it puts something in 0:58:45.480 --> 0:58:47.720 the subject that helps me parse out that it comes 0:58:47.760 --> 0:58:50.880 from the podcast.
