1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Microsoft's new earbuds are worth a look. Apple fixes the

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: keyboard on the MacBook thirteen inch laptop, an app to

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: see all of your Apple Watch activity stats plus your

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: tech questions answered. What's going on? I'm Rich Dmiro and

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: this is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: about the tech stuff I think you should know about,

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: and it's also the place where I answer the questions

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: that you send me. My name is Rich Dmiro. I'm

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles.

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Joining me is producer Megan, who is mourning the loss

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: this morning of suit plantation.

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't even hear about that. That's so sad.

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's getting a lot of play. Have you ever

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: been to a suit plantation?

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: Maybe once?

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: It was popular on the West Side. When I lived

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: in Brentwood for a long time, they had a suit

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: plantation there and we would go. Probably only went three times,

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: but it was always good. And now apparently they're closing down.

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: So are It's really sad?

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: It is kind of sad. So how are you doing?

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: People wondered if you had COVID because you weren't around

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: for a couple episodes, so they wondered, are you okay,

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: just give us the debriefing.

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm okay.

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: I had a migraine last week, and so when that happens,

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: you're kind of like out of commission.

28
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: And then the week before you recorded later in the day.

29
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I missed that.

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: That was yeah, So I tried to explain. I wrote

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: back to the emails. You got a lot of them,

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: so you are very loved on this show. So you

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: should know that a lot of people said they were

34
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: going to unsubscribe if you were not here this week,

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: so I made sure.

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: No, I don't believe that you've just said fail.

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: So how are things going? Because it's, uh, it feels

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: like groundhog Day. I thought this was going to be

39
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: a two week thing and it just continues to go

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: on and on and on.

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels I feel like it's just the same day,

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: over an overdone. But then it's the weekend and you

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: get a little break.

44
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: But things are Things are fine.

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying to like stay active and trying

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 3: to like work out every day.

47
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: I feel like that's what he is keeping me sane.

48
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're in better shape now than

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: you were before COVID, because I feel that way, Yes,

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: isn't that weird?

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

52
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 3: I found like this this online like pilates class, and

53
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 3: I'm like loving it and I like look forward to

54
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: doing it every day. So I feel like there are

55
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: people that are like getting into wellness, and then there

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 3: are people that are like hating on that. Like I

57
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: just listened to a podcast, but they were just like

58
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 3: hating on people like getting into wellness. I feel like

59
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 3: that's what you should be doing to like keep yourself

60
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: from going crazy.

61
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's be honest. I mean, if you have

62
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: the time to watch a couple of Netflix shows a night,

63
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: I mean you should have the time to you know,

64
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: do some sort of exercise. That's and I'm not preaching,

65
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying that's my personal belief. Like if I'm gonna

66
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: sit there like last night, you know, we had dinner,

67
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: we got CBK, and it's like if I can sit

68
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: there and spend an hour watching Jerry Seinfeld on Netflix,

69
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: like why can't I spend half an hour doing a

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: bike ride you know before that? And That's what I did,

71
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: and that's kind of been my mantra every day. So yeah,

72
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: my wife and I both feel like we're in better shape.

73
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's great. Let's start with the first story

74
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: of the week, which is Microsoft. They announced several products.

75
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: There's been a bunch of tech products throughout this whole situation,

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: which I find really fascinating because not necessarily the best

77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: time to be spending money, because who knows, you know,

78
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: with all the job uncertainty. But at the same time,

79
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: a lot of these things were planned before COVID, and

80
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: it kind of the show goes on. And so one

81
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: example that is a bunch of new products from Microsoft,

82
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: including the Surface Go Too, the Surface Book three, the

83
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Surface Headphones two, and Surface Earbuds. I'm not going to

84
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: go into detail on all of these things except for

85
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: the Surface Go Too because that's actually particularly interesting at

86
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: this point because of work at home and the Surface Megan,

87
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: when I tell you, when I first did a story

88
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: on the Surface that came ATLA number one, we had

89
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: the guy in charge of the whole program, Panos Pene,

90
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: come into KTLA, which, by the way, he would never

91
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: even give me an interview at this point, right but

92
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: back then he was just starting and he you know,

93
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: he came in and you know, it was amazing and uh,

94
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: really nice guy. And anyway, so people didn't understand how

95
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: a computer could run Window, or how a tablet could

96
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: run Windows and also be a laptop and a tablet

97
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: and have a case. It was a whole big thing. Anyway,

98
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: Surface has been very popular for Microsoft, and now the

99
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Surface go To is kind of their entry level model,

100
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: and it's three hundred ninety nine dollars and it has

101
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: a larger screen this time, so ten point five inch screen,

102
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: better battery life, better microphones, so if you're trying to

103
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: use this for Skype and all that stuff, and a

104
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: front facing five megapixel camera with a sharp video even

105
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: in low light. Now, the one thing I have to

106
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: take issue with Microsoft with these Surface devices, they always

107
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: show them in the commercial fully loaded, right, I'm talking

108
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: the cover with the keyboard and the pen. Now, in reality,

109
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: that three ninety nine price does not include those two things.

110
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: So you're talking three ninety nine for just the tablet.

111
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: Then the cover is an extra ninety nine dollars, and

112
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: then the pen. I'm not really sure how much that costs,

113
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: but I'm guessing it's another ninety nine to one fifty,

114
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: So realistically you're talking still four hundred five hundred, about

115
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars if you want it the way they

116
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: portray it in the commercial. Now if I said, you know,

117
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: and the good news is this thing runs Windows, so

118
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: you can run like everything you need on here, and

119
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: that's what I really like about it. Second thing I

120
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: want to tell you about is the surface earbuds. I

121
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: tried these on. Remember I went to that event in

122
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: New York City, the Microsoft event. I went by myself

123
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: and I shot it. So I did try on these

124
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: surface earbuds, and I will tell you they were one

125
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: of my favorite earbuds I tried on this year. So

126
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: I know they look weird. They're the ones that look

127
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: kind of like the Frankenstein like they have that big

128
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: kind of flat circle.

129
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: They like stick out.

130
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: They didn't really stick out. They actually were very flush

131
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: with the ear, but they were just big and like frankensteinish,

132
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: you know. But they were very comfortable, and so I

133
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: can I have not tried these. I apparently was not

134
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: on the list with Microsoft to get a pair of

135
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: review units.

136
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: But they kind of look weird.

137
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: They look weird, but they felt really comfortable. So I

138
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: have no problem recommending that you at least check these out.

139
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: They're mostly integrated with Spotify Android phones Outlook and Microsoft

140
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: three sixty five. So if you're full Microsoft, these are

141
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: something that you definitely want to check out. But I

142
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: will say they were very comfortable. Two hundred dollars by

143
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: the way.

144
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: The buds, yeah, they kind of look like those ear rings.

145
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: Yes, those big what are they called when.

146
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: You stick the low bearring?

147
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, my brother in law has those. He looks like

148
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: such a mean dude. You know, he's got tattoos everywhere.

149
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: He's got the low bearrings. I mean it's just totally

150
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: tatted up. And he is nicer than me. That's how

151
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: crazy it is said. Looks can be very deceee. Folks,

152
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: do not judge a book by its cover. That's for sure.

153
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: This is true.

154
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Okay, that is your signal, Megan.

155
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: Okay, so first question, Hi Rich, longtime, second time, curious

156
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: about your thoughts and reviews of Simple Safe versus Ring

157
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: home Security.

158
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: Thanks best, Ded.

159
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: So, now do you know that reference? He said longtime?

160
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Second time? Do you know that what that means?

161
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: Has he asked you a question before?

162
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: Okay? So that's yeah, the second time. I guess, Yeah,

163
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: he's asked me a question before. Long time. It's like

164
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: an old radio thing when people would call in radio shows.

165
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: They would be like longtime listener, first time guest or whatever.

166
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: First time caller, Oh, okay, okay, interesting, ask your mom.

167
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: I know your mom listens to a lot of radio.

168
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: Ask her about that longtime listener, first time caller, and

169
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: they're like, well, good to have you on the show.

170
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: So it's an old radio thing anyway. So he is

171
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: asking about my thoughts reviews of Simply Safe versus Ring

172
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: Home Security, So soll I, it's funny because I love

173
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: Simply Safe and I've been a big fan of them

174
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: since they started. We did a big video with them

175
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: at CS and I've used their system and I will

176
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: tell you I think it's very good. But here's what

177
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: I think the problem with Simply Safe and why they're

178
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: in kind of a precarious position at this point. So

179
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Simply Safe is a very simple system. You install it yourself.

180
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: It's it's diy home security. They have everything you need.

181
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: You put the little sensors on your windows, you put

182
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: them on your doors. You got a base station, they

183
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: have cameras. They all have everything you need. But the

184
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: difference between Simply Safe and something like Ring and some

185
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: of the other competitors at this point is that the

186
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: other competitors are more integrated with sort of the smart

187
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: home devices, and Ring has got the backing of Amazon,

188
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: so it works with all the Alexis stuff. I mean

189
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: it really, it's everything is becoming very siloed in the

190
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: tech world. So Ring. I was actually thinking of switching

191
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: over to Ring because I was thinking, well, right now,

192
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: I've got a mix of a whole bunch of different

193
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: stuff in my house. And over the years, you know,

194
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: as I tried stuff and I use stuff, and I

195
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: liked it, and I would get it, and so now

196
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: I've like Nest, I've got some Ring stuff, I've got

197
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: some simply safe stuff. So it's all mixed up, and

198
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: I kind of thought about it. It's almost better to

199
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: be on one page. And I was looking at Ring

200
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: because the thing about Ring that they're doing right now

201
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: is they are doing their home monitoring for very cheap

202
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: and so it's ten dollars a month, which is really cheap.

203
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

204
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: Now most of the other ones cost about anywhere from

205
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty five. If you do something like ADT,

206
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: you're talking fifty bucks a month. So this is the

207
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: reason why Ring is very appealing. And I was in

208
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: Costco the other day and they had a three pack

209
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: of ring cameras for two hundred and fifty bucks, so

210
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: again very inexpensive. So my thought, Dave is I would

211
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: see do you do you want the integration with other

212
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: products or you're just looking at price. I would price

213
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: out both systems, see how much they cost, and then

214
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: I would price out maybe five years of service or

215
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: three years of service, and see what comes out to

216
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: be a better deal, because simply safe might be cheaper,

217
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: or might be more expensive in the long run, or

218
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, one of them might be more expensive in

219
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: the long run than the other. But I think that

220
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month for a ring right now is

221
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: you can't beat it. But you might have to pay

222
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: more upfront for the different products. I'm not sure, but

223
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: that's the way I would look at those two products

224
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: to compare them. So hopefully that helps. But if you

225
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: are looking at one of these systems, even if you

226
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: have just a simple like apartment setup or you know anything,

227
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: you're renting a house, a room in an airbnb, you

228
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: know you can get one of these simple security systems

229
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: that kind of alerts you if someone opens your door.

230
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to go totally elaborate, and

231
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: I kind of like that because it gives you some

232
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,479
Speaker 1: peace of mind, right, all right, So we did Microsoft,

233
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about Apple. This week, they updated the thirteen

234
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: inch MacBook Pro. And there's not too much to talk

235
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: about with this MacBook Pro. It's just the fact that

236
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: they updated the keyboard. You know, they did the basic updates,

237
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: but the biggest one is really the keyboard. They gave

238
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: it the new Magic keyboard, which I will tell you

239
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: in personal experience, is leaps and bounds ahead of their

240
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: last keyboard. And I had the last keyboard on my

241
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: MacBook Pro thirteen inch, which was absolutely terrible. I had

242
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: that for three years. My son is now using it.

243
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: It was really bad. It felt like you were typing

244
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper because the keys just didn't

245
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: push down very much. And there's a lot of mistakes

246
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: as well with those keys. And the new keyboard I

247
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: now have of my sixteen inch MacBook Pro, which is

248
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: kind of the primary reason I bought it, it's just

249
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: way way better. And so I do recommend if you're

250
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: looking at these things and you were kind of burned

251
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: in the past, the keyboard is way better and that's

252
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: kind of it. I mean there's other things that are

253
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: that are new on this which you know. Double the

254
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: storage two fifty six gigabytes is now the base storage.

255
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: It offers up to four terabytes. And my advice on

256
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: buying a laptop, oh get the most storage you can

257
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: afford and the most memory. And I will tell you

258
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: from personal experience, I was very what's the word impatient

259
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: when I bought my laptop, and so I couldn't wait

260
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: for it to be shipped because if you want certain storage,

261
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: remember this, remember this. Yeah, And so I ended up

262
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: walking into the store and buying the off the shelf version,

263
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: which was a sixteen gigabytes of RAM and one terabyte

264
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: of storage. And I wish I had thirty two gigabytes

265
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: of RAM and two terabytes of storage, which would have

266
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: cost me a little bit more, but I would have

267
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 1: been much happier. And so don't be impatient. You know,

268
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: if it takes a little bit to get your computer

269
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: because you want it in the configuration you want, just

270
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: just wait. Don't be a rich don't be a rich

271
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: on tech impatient. The laptop starts at thirteen hundred dollars

272
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: for the everyday person, twelve hundred dollars if you are

273
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: an educator, which is a pretty decent price. And my

274
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: other advice with these laptops everyone the most emails I

275
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: get Megan are I want a cheap laptop. But the

276
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: problem with cheap laptops is, yes, you're gonna spend two

277
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: hundred three hundred bucks on a Chromebook, but you're then

278
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna want a new laptop in a couple of years.

279
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: These Apple laptops will last you. My sister is on

280
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: hers is ten years old and it's still working. Now, wow,

281
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: it's getting up there, and she says she kind of

282
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: wants a new one, but ten years.

283
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 2: So yeah, they last a very long time.

284
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: They last a very long time. And the best part

285
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: is even if you use it, like for me, my

286
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: life cycle is about three years. After those three years,

287
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: I give it to one of my family members and

288
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: so they get the benefit of using it as well.

289
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: So my dad got my last Apple laptop, my little

290
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: my son got my other one. So that's you know,

291
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: that's another side thing.

292
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: You can be general do you normally say for MacBooks

293
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 3: though you say not to do the just like the

294
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: first tier, you go like up a tier, Yes, that's.

295
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: That's kind of Apple's pricing game. So whenever you see

296
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: that first like you know, initial price hundred, it's usually

297
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: if you go with the next tier, you're gonna get

298
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot more for your money. That's kind of Apple's

299
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: game with everything they sell, whether it's the iPad, whether

300
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: it's the iPhone. When you just bump up to that

301
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: next level for a little bit more, you get more,

302
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: a lot more when it comes to storage, process or whatever.

303
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: And I always tell people because they always say, well,

304
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: it's you know, you think about it. The next bump

305
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: up on this laptop, I don't know, maybe it's fifteen hundred.

306
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: They're like, well, that's fifteen hundred bucks. I'm like, well,

307
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: you've already gone to thirteen hundred, so really it's only

308
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: an extra two hundred. You're not not spending the thirteen hundred.

309
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: So good question, Megan.

310
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: Okay, so this next question comes from Kenji. Good afternoon, sir.

311
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: I hope all has been well with you. You're definitely

312
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: the best and keeping up to date with technology. I

313
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: would like to ask if you could recommend the best

314
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: way to remove as much of my personal information from

315
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: the web as possible. I've finally contacted White Pages directly

316
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: and that response is pending. Is there a re reputable

317
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: company that can assist with this reasonable pricing that you

318
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: are aware of?

319
00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: So thank you.

320
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: This is a good question and something that I actually

321
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: did myself recently. And if you've ever been on one

322
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: of these sites, there's a bunch of them, like My

323
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Life White Pages, they have a whole bunch. Basically all

324
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: of your personal information is on these sites and you're like,

325
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: how is this legal? How are they able to have this? Well,

326
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: it's all public records, especially when you buy a house

327
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: or you know anything, anything you do, it creates a

328
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: public record that's in the public. So these companies just

329
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: scour the public databases and they just organize it in

330
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: a way that's much easier to access than say going

331
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: to the library and looking up the database for the

332
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: DMV or whatever. You know, like you worked on the

333
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: desk at KTLA, so you know what was the thing

334
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: they had lexis Nexus. Yes, like you were looking up

335
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: x's all the time, right time.

336
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: No, you get so like there's a charge when you search.

337
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: You know, it's not free to like look up an

338
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: X like KTLA would get like an eighty dollars charge.

339
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: Right every time you get in trouble.

340
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Every time, Oh my gosh. But at least you knew

341
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: what they were doing, where they were and you could

342
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: just kind of keep an eye on them.

343
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: But no, it doesn't track them. It just says where

344
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: they live.

345
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: And what would you need for them, like a license

346
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: plate kind of thing. I'm just kidding.

347
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, you know for like, oh yeah,

348
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: you would.

349
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: You would just do a first and last name and

350
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: maybe or like no round their birthday or how they are,

351
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: and then you like get a list of people that

352
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: I could be and then you pick who it looks like. Okay,

353
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: well that's difficult for.

354
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's almost exactly how these websites work. And they

355
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: just do the same thing except find all the personal

356
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: information that's available online. So anyway, I'll give you some

357
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: of the names. Spokio my life. If you go down

358
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: a rabbit hole of looking up yourself on these sites,

359
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: it's very scary. Just fyi, Spochio my life, Ridaris White

360
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: pages in tell Us and been verified. Now, what our

361
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: listener is asking, Kenji, is asking how he can get

362
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: rid of these. So there's a website called Join delete

363
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: me dot com and they will for I think it

364
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: was like twenty bucks a month take care of all

365
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: of this and get you off all these sites. But

366
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: as far as a month, well yeah, I mean, if

367
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: you I think that's how much it is, let me

368
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: let me see how much it is, you know, for

369
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: some people, and maybe you don't need it, you know,

370
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: every month, but let's see how much it is it is.

371
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: Join delete me. It's uh oh sorry, ten dollars a

372
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: month for one person for a year, so one hundred

373
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: and twenty nine dollars for the year. But it will

374
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: remove you from all the major data broker websites for

375
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: one year, so I mean that's not too bad. Ten

376
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: seventy five a month, so you have to pay for

377
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: the year. I'm guessing yeah, build annually for one thirty

378
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: but that's not you know, if you want to protect

379
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: your privacy, that's not that bad. But what I like

380
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: about this site and why I kind of trust them,

381
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: is because they have a post of how to do

382
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: it on your own, and they give you the manual,

383
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: step by step instructions for all of these different websites.

384
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: And so that's what I did personally. I just went

385
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: through and most of the time. It requires verifying yourself

386
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: on the website, signing up for the website, sending them

387
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: an email, opting out, doing a confirmation. It's a whole

388
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: big process. They basically don't want you to do this,

389
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: but it did work, and I can tell you from

390
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: my experience at a lot of these sites. I was

391
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: able to get some my information off of there, and

392
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: a lot of it is confusing because it's not a

393
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: lot of it's not right. They had me as way

394
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: older than I really am, but yeah, exactly so, and

395
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have the best profile pictures of me, so

396
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: I just wanted all of it gone. So you're like, nope,

397
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: so join delete me dot com. Check it out, and

398
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: I think that you will find exactly what you need

399
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: to get yourself off of many of these websites. Good question.

400
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: And there's another. We did a story about this a

401
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: long time ago, and you can hire someone to do

402
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: this as well. Haley Kaplan was her name, and let's

403
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: see what her website is, so if you want to

404
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: pay someone to do it more personally, her website is

405
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: what is dash privacy dot com And we interviewed her

406
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: for KTLA and she's great. She knew everything, and she

407
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: will go She's a lot of celebrities will use her

408
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: and they will pay her a lot of not just celebrities,

409
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: but you know, like CEOs and stuff like that, you know,

410
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: like big time people will pay her to get them

411
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: off of the Internet, and she can do that, you know,

412
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: and protect your reputation. Let's say there's a you know,

413
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: so anyway, she's she's very good. What dash is dash

414
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: Privacy dot com. But that's going to be a different route,

415
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit more expensive obviously because it's

416
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: a one on one kind of thing.

417
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: But interesting, good question.

418
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about Sonos. You know, I love my

419
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: Sona's products, Megan, and now they have new products. They

420
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: have three new products. I told you there's a lot

421
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: of new products, right, so yeah, like what, yeah, three

422
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 1: new But here's the thing. The pipeline is is going

423
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: to dry up because this was all stuff that they

424
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: made before COVID, right, they have to sell it. Yeah,

425
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: but after like next year, there's not gonna be anything news.

426
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: Three new items. The number the biggest one is called

427
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: Sonos ARC and this is a soundbar and I have

428
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: the old version of this which I can't remember what

429
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: it's called but it's I've had it for years and

430
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: I love it. And I'll explain why this is a

431
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: problem for Sonos. But the son No's ARC has a

432
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: new design and it has Dolby at most support. And

433
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: I love my son Nos. I don't know what it's

434
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: called sound bar. Maybe I think it's just called son

435
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: No sound bar. And it's been sitting under my TV

436
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: for at least five years. And the new son Nos

437
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: Arc is eight hundred dollars. And I remember when I

438
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: bought my son No sound bar, it was like six

439
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: ninety nine, I think, And I thought that was a

440
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: lot at the time, But when you do the price

441
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: over the years, it's fine. But here's my problem with Sonos.

442
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: I still have their stuff that I've bought for I mean,

443
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I well, I did buy a new

444
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: speaker this year, so that's not true. But their stuff

445
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: lasts a really long time, and so it's tough to

446
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: like say, I want to upgrade my stuff because why

447
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: But here's how they're gonna get you at upgrade. They've

448
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: got a new app and operating system that's gonna come

449
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: out June eighth, and it's only going to enable the

450
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: new higher resolution audio, updated interface, and more personalization, including

451
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: saved room groups, which is if you have sons that

452
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: is something that I never knew I needed, but now

453
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: that they say it, oh my gosh, because like, let

454
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: me give you an example. When I work in the

455
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: dining room, I want just the dining room and the

456
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: kitchen speakers on, and so I have to go into

457
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: the app every time and regroup those two because the

458
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: night before I had the whole house on. So it's

459
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: like little things like that. Then when the kids are

460
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: watching TV, they want just a living room on. So anyway,

461
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: my point is that this Sono stuff is amazing, but

462
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: it's number one is really expensive. So the other thing

463
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: they have is a new Sonas sub, which is a

464
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: subwoofer that's six hundred ninety nine dollars. And then the

465
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: Son's five, which is pretty much their most powerful speaker

466
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: for music, which I have the old version in my

467
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: dining room and I might think about upgrading that because

468
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: it's been many years since I've had that. But that's

469
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars and the sound expensive. But I will

470
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: say that I bought the Sons move this year, and

471
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: I told you this, but It's my absolute favorite speaker.

472
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I have gotten so much use out of

473
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: that speaker for four hundred dollars in the past three months.

474
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: I bring it in the backyard when I'm outside grilling,

475
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: we're playing with the kids in the front yard, I

476
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: bring it there. We're having dinner in the dining room,

477
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: I put it behind me so we have more music

478
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: in the dining room instead of just the one speaker.

479
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: Sono stuff is very expensive, but it is well worth it.

480
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: If you want a cheap alternative, you can just use

481
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: Google Home Products and or you know, and just linked those.

482
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: They're not going to sound the same, but it's gonna

483
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 1: kind of be the same, and it's a little bit,

484
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: just a little bit not as like the Sona's app

485
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: is really the magical part of it because it's so good.

486
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: It's so slick. You can find music across any service

487
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: you can imagine, and that's really what's so beautiful about them.

488
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Connie wrote on Facebook, my kids gave me a pair

489
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: of Sona's wireless speakers. I used to use them with

490
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: music that I have on my phone. Now I can't

491
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: where can I find out how to make that work?

492
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: I believe they took away that functionality. It used to

493
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: work with music off of your phone, Connie, but now

494
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: it does not. So what I would recommend is uploading

495
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: your music to a service like Plex or Google Cloud Music,

496
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: and then you can play them through your phone. I

497
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: believe that way. So that's the way to get around that,

498
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: all right, Okay.

499
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: Next question, Hi, rich I am thinking of trying out

500
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: last Pass as a password manager.

501
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: I've never used one before.

502
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 3: A couple of questions I could not find the answer

503
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: answer to is what happens if I decide to no

504
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: longer use a password manager? Do I have to go

505
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 3: back and reset all of my passwords in each of

506
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: my individual accounts? Or will last Pass revert back to

507
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: my original passwords? Also, how would I or any of

508
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: my family members log into streaming services on our TVs

509
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 3: like Netflix? Since I assume it would be asking for us,

510
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: It would be asking us for a new log on. Thanks,

511
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: and I really enjoy your rich On Tech podcast, Bill.

512
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. Bill. Let's see, so he wants to

513
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: switch to last Pass, He's never used a password manager before.

514
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: What happens if I decide to no longer use it? Okay,

515
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: So if you number one Last Pass does not change

516
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: your passwords for you. You kind of load them into

517
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: last Past. Like let's say you have you sign up

518
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: for last Pass, you have ten accounts, you have Netflix,

519
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: you have Google. At the beginning, you sort of copy

520
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: your passwords into the app to load them up into there,

521
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: and then you can decide if you want to use

522
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: last pass to help you change those passwords to become

523
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: stronger passwords. But it doesn't automatically just do that for you.

524
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: But well, there might be a functionality on last pass

525
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: that can do that. I know on Dashline there is,

526
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: I forget if there is on last Pass. But so

527
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: the question is if he ditches last Pass, what happens.

528
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: You can export a list of your passwords in various ways,

529
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: so you can export them as sort of a text

530
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: file as you know, a CSV whatever, so you can

531
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: see your passwords. It'll say like here's your passwords. You

532
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: can do that. You can bring them into a different

533
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: service like last like a dash lane or one password whatever.

534
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of the beginning question is yes,

535
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: all the accounts you can you can see your passwords

536
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: at the end. It doesn't just like if you delete

537
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: your Last Past it's like, oh, sorry, you have no

538
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: more access to your passwords, so you can do that,

539
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: but again, you have to do that before you delete

540
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: your account. So don't delete your account before you export.

541
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, how would my family members

542
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: log into the streaming services? Which I love that he's

543
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: just like putting it out there that, like everyone's sharing accounts.

544
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: Did I tell you that right now? With my Netflix?

545
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: Have I told you this? I mentioned this in the

546
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: last how many everyone? But I'm I personally can't use

547
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: my Netflix account because it does not work. But everyone

548
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: my dad's works, my mom's works, my kid works. Mine

549
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: does not work. So I have to do I don't know.

550
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: It just says error every time when I go to

551
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: use it. So I have to like reset my whole Netflix.

552
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: Account, right, and then they're all going to lose I know.

553
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: And then I have to And then that means I

554
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: got to sit there and I got to talk my

555
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: mom through logging in on her Fire TV stick and

556
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: you know, and the password is going to be complex

557
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: because I use a password manager to create it, so

558
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: it's not just easy. No, I can't make it easy.

559
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: I used to have an easy one on Netflix and

560
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: now I don't anyway. So let's see his question is

561
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: the family members would have to log in if you

562
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: changed it, but you don't have to change it. So

563
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: but if you're using it, if he's asking because he

564
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: wants to start using better passwords, then yes, you'll want

565
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: to use last pass to create stronger passwords. That's kind

566
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: of the whole point of these things, and that's what

567
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: I would recommend doing. But the reality is you start

568
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: using it and you can just change things over time.

569
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to change it all at once, and

570
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: you can also evolve. So what you can do is

571
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: then you know, you can take one week at a

572
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: time and maybe change your Netflix password one weekend and

573
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: make it a little bit strong longer. And the Last

574
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: Pass manager and all the other ones, they will actually

575
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: when you're creating this is the best part of them.

576
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: Let's say you're creating a new account, like you sign

577
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: up for Hulu, you sign up from the website, it

578
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: will say do you want us to create a strong

579
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: password for you, and it will save it into last Pass,

580
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: so you don't have to kind of do all that.

581
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: It's it's very much automated towards the end, but it

582
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: is more work. I mean, believe me. Like I I

583
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: complained about it all the time with my wife. I'm like, ah,

584
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: this is so like to download a game on my

585
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: kids I Pad, it probably takes like ten minutes because

586
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: of all the different procedures in place passwords.

587
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: But it's safer.

588
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: It's safer and more secure. So I think I answered

589
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: that for the most.

590
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 2: So you use Dahlane, I like Dashlane.

591
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that. But I use last pass

592
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: as well, and I thought that was great. I mean

593
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: it really, there's one password I've experimented with that. I

594
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: mean it really, I've tried them all just to kind

595
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 1: of see which ones they all. Now here's the other thing.

596
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: You can also if you only have Apple devices, you

597
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: can use the pass word manager that's built into iOS,

598
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: which is like keychain. It's called iCloud keychain, and we

599
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: use that for the iPad because we only save like

600
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: one app on there, the Peloton app. And it's super

601
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: easy because it's built in. You don't have to think

602
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 1: about it. It's so if you're only using Apple products,

603
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: you can just use the Apple you know, like I said,

604
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: the one that's built into Apple. If you only use

605
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: Google products, you can use Google smartlock or whatever they

606
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: call theirs, but I personally, I think it's better to

607
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: use one that works across all of them. I just

608
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: think it's it's just planning for the future. Speaking of Google,

609
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: I discovered something today that I think is pretty helpful.

610
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: It's Google cloud Print. And I was aware of this

611
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: for a while, but I never set it up, nor

612
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: did I ever put much stock into it. But now

613
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: that I think about, it's actually quite brilliant. So a

614
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: lot of people have a printer in their home that's

615
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: connected to Wi Fi, and I get this question all

616
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: the time about rich how do I print to that printer.

617
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: It's a pain. It doesn't work with AirPrint.

618
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: Well.

619
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: I always recommended in the past downloading the manufacturer app

620
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: for your printer onto your phone so that you can

621
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: print from your phone, and that's an easy way to

622
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: get around the whole air print thing or Google whatever

623
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: on Android, cloud print, whatever. But I was looking at

624
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: this cloud print thing and it actually works pretty well.

625
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: I set it up on my printer. All you have

626
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: to do is make sure your printer is connected to

627
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: the Wi Fi network, and then you go on your

628
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: Chrome browser on your desktop and you type in like,

629
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: let's see, that's what was it? Hold on, let's see

630
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: connect a printer that's not. You go Chrome colon slash

631
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: slash devices and press enter and then you just click

632
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: ad printer under Classic Printers, you find your printer, you

633
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: select it, and now you can use Google Cloud Print

634
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: from any of your devices, which means your Android phone,

635
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: your iPhone, your Chrome devices, anything, your Chrome book and

636
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: it just kind of connects your your printer to the

637
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: Chrome cloud Print network and now it's super easy to print. Now.

638
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: The only caveat to this, and I check, is that

639
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: you have to have your computer on and Chrome kind

640
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: of open on your computer for this to work, because

641
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: it kind of goes through Chrome as like an intermediary.

642
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: But if you're having printer issues or you have an

643
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: older printer and you just want to be able to

644
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: print from all your devices, definitely check out Google Cloud Print.

645
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty cool. I set up this morning in

646
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: about two minutes.

647
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's fass.

648
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: This next question comes from Rita Rich. What do you

649
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: think is the best QR reader to download for an

650
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 3: Android phone?

651
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: I have a Samsung three.

652
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's an older Samsung. Oh Samsung three. That's

653
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: that's I'm impressedive that's still kicking.

654
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: That is.

655
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Let's see, when did the Samsung Galaxy S three come out?

656
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty twelve. Oh my gosh, eight years.

657
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Huh oh wow, eight years. So with this,

658
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: I there was an app that I really liked for

659
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: QR scanning now number one. QR code scanning is built

660
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: into pretty much every modern smartphone. QR codes have a

661
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: funny thing because they've been trying to take off for

662
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: about ten years now, and nobody actually uses QR codes

663
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: but they do. You see them every once in a while,

664
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: but nobody actually uses them. So it's this weird thing

665
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: that they They are around and they are cool, but

666
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: it's just no one, like they never really took off

667
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: in a big way. With that said, they are very useful.

668
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: They're the QR code that kind of looks like a square,

669
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: that's what or sorry, they're like the barcode that looks

670
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: like a square. Kind of weird, you know, it looks

671
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: like very futuristic. So with ninety nine percent of smartphones today,

672
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: you can just hold your camera, like hover your phone's

673
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: camera over it, like obviously open up the camera app,

674
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: hover the phone over the QR code and on your

675
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: screen it will display a message do you want to

676
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: to open the link that is behind this QR code?

677
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: Most QR codes contain a weblink and that brings you

678
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: to the website. And almost every phone, iPhone, Android, whatever, Samsung,

679
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: they all do that. Now you have an older Samsung Rita,

680
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: so you don't have that built in because these things were,

681
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, back in the day. QR code scanning apps

682
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: are pretty big. Anyway, the one I liked was purchased

683
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: by Snapchat. It was called I think Scan and it

684
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: was super easy, super nice. It was just very simple.

685
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: But then Snapchat bought them. I think it became the

686
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: snap codes. Have you ever used Snapchat just to like,

687
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: when you add.

688
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: Someone you used to take a picture or you like

689
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: hover over their phone or something.

690
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: So I think they use that technology that they bought

691
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: from that company Scan to build those snap codes. So anyway,

692
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: that's gone. But the one I found that I liked

693
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: is actually from Kesperski, which is a this is a

694
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: anti virus company, and they have QR code reader for

695
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: Android Keasperski Lab, and that is the one I recommend

696
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: because it's simple, it's easy, and it scans the code

697
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: for anything malicious before it gives you the link, so

698
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: it makes sure that because you there, there is a

699
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: thing where people can be malicious with these QR codes.

700
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: They can try to get you to go to links

701
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: that are that are not very they're evil, and so

702
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: that's that's you got to watch out. And it was

703
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: updated on April sixth, So I think that's fine. So

704
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: QR code Keasperski Lab. Just search for that inside Google

705
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: Play and you should find that. All right, all right,

706
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: let's see here I found an app that I thought

707
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Speaking of apps, and this is an

708
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: app that you don't have an Apple Watch?

709
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: Do you?

710
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: Did you get one yet?

711
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: No?

712
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so on Apple Watch it becomes very you really

713
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: want to complete your rings every day. It's kind of

714
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: like the main It gets you very much motivated to

715
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: do whatever you can. I've talked about on the pot cast.

716
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: How if I see that I got two minutes of exercise,

717
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: I will do like twenty eight minutes just to complete

718
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: the rings for that day, and not a minute more. Well,

719
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: a developer named let's see, where is his name? All right? Well,

720
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't have his name, but a developer came up

721
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: with a app called Activity Stats, and it is super simple.

722
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: All it does is show you your lifetime totals of

723
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: all the fitness things you've done on your Apple Watch.

724
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: So it just adds it all up, so you can

725
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: see how many calories you've burned, how much time you

726
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: spent exercising, how many steps you've walked, how much you've

727
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: walked and run distance, total swimming, cycling, indoor cycling, elliptical

728
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: workout time, and how many workouts you've done. This it's

729
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: just kind of a fun thing if you just want

730
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 1: to see, like, oh my gosh, I've walked one thousand

731
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: miles in my Apple watch'd be kind.

732
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: Of fun, right, Yeah, it's just is it similar to

733
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: just Health on your phone?

734
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: Yes, but now Health doesn't necessarily because I was thinking

735
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: about that, it must be Health doesn't necessarily tallly it

736
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: all up forever, right it's or maybe I don't think so.

737
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: I think it does by days and by weeks, and

738
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: like it gives you trends. But I never open that app,

739
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: by the way, like ever ever ever.

740
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: But well, I started using it because I like want

741
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: an Apple Watch. But I was like, I'll just use

742
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: health for now, and I like try to keep track

743
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: of steps that way.

744
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's fine. My mom does it that way

745
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: because she doesn't have a wearable, but it it's probably

746
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, number one, your phone has to be on

747
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: you for that to work, which is fine if you're walking.

748
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: It's not going to be as accurate as an actual wearable,

749
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: but it's still it's a good kind of stop gap,

750
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: like you've realized, like it's it's good enough for Okay,

751
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, if I take a walk, it'll kind of

752
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: give me an idea of how far I've gone. But now,

753
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: can you use the there is no workout. I guess

754
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: you could start a workout app on your phone.

755
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: Do you do that or no? Oh I do the Yeah,

756
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 2: run keeper. Okay, so how far I've gone?

757
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So it is using the GPS, so it is

758
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: actually very act so that's not bad. That's fine. Yeah, yeah,

759
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: I forget about the days when I used to have

760
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: to run without an Apple Watch. I used to run

761
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: with my phone and there was a time before GPS

762
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: in the phone when it would just kind of estimate

763
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: by your stride, so you would just you would see

764
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: how far you ran based on your stride and you'd

765
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: have to set your stride in the app and the

766
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: Nike app. And now, of course all of that is

767
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: moot because GPS is like super accurate to like the millimeter.

768
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 2: Okay, so crazy, Okay. Next question comes from Catherine. Greetings.

769
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 3: I am reading chapters to my students and recording them

770
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: on my iPad. Then I am uploading them to YouTube

771
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 3: for a twelve minute video. It takes approximately four hours

772
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 3: to upload. This seems extreme to me, but I cannot

773
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: find any way to speed it up.

774
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: Please help. My students are waiting for videos, but I

775
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: cannot do any more than one to two per day.

776
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: Number one, I give major props to you, Cat and

777
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: every other teacher out there, because Megan, you don't have

778
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: kids in school distance learning. But but let me tell you,

779
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: these teachers, I feel so bad for them because it's

780
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of like what I have to do here,

781
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: and yet you know, I have an understanding of technology,

782
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit easier for me to make

783
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: the transition of going from like the KTLA studios to

784
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: like working from home. But imagine you're, like, you know,

785
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: you teach in front of a class every day, and

786
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, they're like, oh, by the way,

787
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: you need to like record yourself on a phone, set

788
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: up a tripod, make sure you're in good light, make

789
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: sure the audio sounds good. Then upload it to a website,

790
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: get it to these kids, put it in Google classroom.

791
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: Everything just got so much more complicated other than drive

792
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: to work, get in front of your class and talk

793
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: to your kids and then collect papers. Right, It's it's

794
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: like teachers are really good at that. They're not necessarily

795
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: performing artists that know all this tech stuff of how

796
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: to like upload and do all this stuff. And I'm

797
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: not saying they can't figure it out. They have been.

798
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: But I'm watching my kids and all these videos. These

799
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: teachers have to learn how to you know, they've got

800
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: to do like a whiteboard whatever, like they're drawing on exactly.

801
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a pain, and I'm sure that they all

802
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: think that, and so kat I feel your pain. Number One,

803
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: the whole upload thing iPhone, the process of uploading a

804
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: video to YouTube from the iOS platform is the biggest

805
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: nightmare in the world. And I'll explain why because the

806
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: app does not work in the background, so you can't

807
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: just and I'm sure every teacher in America has figured

808
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: this out the hard way. You can't just sit there,

809
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: press upload on YouTube and then close out your iPhone.

810
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: Guess what, when you come back to the YouTube app,

811
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: it's still sitting there. It says oh, one percent progress.

812
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 1: Because the YouTube app has to be open and functioning

813
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: and not working in the background to actually upload the

814
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: video file. So my number one piece of advice is

815
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: if you can upload from an Android, find it because

816
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: guess what, it lets you upload in the background. You

817
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: don't have to be sitting there babysitting your phone. That's

818
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: number one. Number two, these files that you're recording are

819
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: probably huge, and that is the reason why they're taking

820
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: even longer because even if you babysit your iPad, screen

821
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: on lock, leave YouTube open, it probably still takes a

822
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: long time because we're all using so much internet. And

823
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: the video is really a big video because if you're

824
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: reading to them a twelve minute video, I mean, that's

825
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: that's a long video, right, Yeah, So I would recommend

826
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: using a smaller video quality when you record the video.

827
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: You can do four eighty. Just go into the camera

828
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: settings on the iPad or the iPhone and that is

829
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: under the general settings and you can switch to a

830
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: lower quality resolution. I'm not even sure if that does

831
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: the iPhone offer four eighty. I think it may not.

832
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: Let me look in there. I'm going to go under

833
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: camera and let's see, can you record in that terrible

834
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: seven twenty is the lowest. So I would think that.

835
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: There's some sort of website where you could like live,

836
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: not live, but like record yourself and then you pause

837
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: the video and then you like save it and it

838
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be like through your phone, you know

839
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: what I mean.

840
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: You can do that right through YouTube. But I think

841
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: the problem is a lot of these teachers kind of

842
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: have their setup. You know, they have a tripod, they've

843
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: got their iPad on there. You know, it's like easier

844
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: to it's easier to set up a phone than to

845
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, cause these teachers, you know, you have to

846
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: also have to find a nice place in your home

847
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: to like set up. So it's a whole big yea.

848
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: Believe me, I've seen so many of these videos. I

849
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 1: feel so bad for these teachers because I'm just watching

850
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: and I'm like, she's on her patio and you know,

851
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: she's in her It's like you're trying to find a

852
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: little spot to work in your house that you never

853
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 1: really needed before. But continuing with the thought, I would

854
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: say that's the number one. Record it at the lowest quality.

855
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: Number two, I would export it in a third party

856
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: program to make it even smaller. The best program for

857
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: this would be Adobe Premiere Rush, and you can export

858
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: it to YouTube and you can choose the quality you want.

859
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: So I would choose like the lowest possible quality, like

860
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: four eighty, not lower than that, because you want your

861
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: kids to actually be able to see your face. Like

862
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: if you go lower like three sixty, it's gonna be

863
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: I might just see like old you know, like a

864
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: tiny little like thumbnail video of you. Yeah, so I

865
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: go four eighty or seven twenty, even seven twenty with

866
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: some good compression will still be way better. And then

867
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: you can upload it to YouTube that way. But that's

868
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: the advice. It's just these video files. A twelve minute

869
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,959
Speaker 1: video file is pretty big. That's that's the large file.

870
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: You know, it could be a gigabyte, you know, it

871
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: could be more than that.

872
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 3: So it's like classes are you know, an hour, and

873
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 3: like school is eight hours a day, so if like

874
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 3: teachers are trying to record classes, I mean, I get

875
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 3: why they're twelve minutes because they just shorten it.

876
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, school's not eight hours a day. That

877
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: was when you really like, you know, with the parents, everyone,

878
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: every parent right now feels really guilty with their kids

879
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 1: working at home because if you can get your kids

880
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: to do a solid hour and a half of work

881
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: every day, it's fine. And it sounds like a little

882
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: bit Megan, but it's really not because when you think

883
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: about the way the school day is structured. In school,

884
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of not fluff time, but a lot

885
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: of time built into the day. Right You're you're not

886
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: teachers are not sitting there drilling students for eight hours.

887
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: You know, Like here's what you need to know. That's

888
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: not what's happening at school. You know, there's there's creative time,

889
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: there's played time, there's outdoor time, there's solo time.

890
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: There's meditation time, right, meditation time.

891
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, they do mindfulness, Oh.

892
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: For sure, that's amazing.

893
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like does he sits there and he does his

894
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: little no mistake.

895
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 2: And he like is like closed eyes and like does

896
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 2: this moment?

897
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: Yeah he does? Like what is it? Cosmic kids is

898
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: like the big one and so that's oh yeah on YouTube.

899
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah that's funny. Okay, So that was the question. Let

900
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: me go to another another app that I thought was

901
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: pretty cool is you tried this out, Megan so you

902
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: can comment on it. Onyx This is the home workout app.

903
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: What it's so onyx o n y x it it

904
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: It records you in real time while you're doing the workout.

905
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: He uses the camera on your iPhone. You have to

906
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: have a newer iPhone with true depth, but it kind

907
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: of sees you in three D and it corrects you

908
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: as you do it. What did you think of this workout?

909
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: It was like a five to seven minute workout?

910
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you heart.

911
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 3: I mean I was doing like beginner and I was

912
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 3: using my sister's phone and I just did like a

913
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 3: lower body workout. So it's a ton of like lunches

914
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: and squats and always the toughest I thought it was.

915
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 2: I thought it was great.

916
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 3: I mean it was correcting my form. It was saying

917
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: like your knee is going too far, you know, like

918
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 3: little things. I understood how to make those corrections and

919
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 3: then I actually had to record it twice.

920
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 2: So I was so sore the next day. I was

921
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 2: like okay.

922
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 3: That app is the app crash, Yeah, because I was

923
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: trying to save and then it just like crashed happened.

924
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: Then I can save the video. So I was like, okay,

925
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 3: I have to, you know, but I think it's I

926
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: think it's great.

927
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: It's a very cool concept. It's it's it just goes

928
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: to show what the future can hold. When I mean,

929
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: you did story on that other website, remember like open

930
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: fit I think it was where they have a trainer

931
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: actually watching you. This is oh yeah, this is kind

932
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: of like an automated version of that. Like I was

933
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: doing like a I was doing a thing where I

934
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: was doing a plank and then I kind of put

935
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: my arm up, you know, to the sky like that,

936
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: and the little trainer was like, make sure that you

937
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: look up at your arm when you're putting it up

938
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: to the sky like so instead of just going like this,

939
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: I you know, knew to now look up, which I

940
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: thought was a great I would have never gotten that

941
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: if I was doing an audio guided workout or just

942
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: a peloton you know, where you're just watching the person

943
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: on the screen. So it is really fascinating. The app

944
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: is called Onyx. It's free to start. There is premium

945
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: stuff which costs fifteen bucks a month, But if you

946
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: want to just get started, I would I would download

947
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: it and check it out. It is a very cool

948
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: take on the workout, and the workouts are only I

949
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: only found five to seven minute workouts in there, but

950
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: they were very, very efficient.

951
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

952
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 3: There was a point where I was like, like, I

953
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 3: don't know, I guess I wasn't going low enough for

954
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 3: like a lunge.

955
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: And it was like that's okay, you can take a break. No,

956
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: I'm working. I just it's just I'm not that good.

957
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: And it counts your reps too, which I thought was

958
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: really cool. Yeah, because like unlike the other ones where

959
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: they just power through it, like whether you do them

960
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: or not, this one I was doing push ups and

961
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: I realized halfway through that it was not just gonna

962
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: keep going to the next exercise. It was counting me

963
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: out ten push ups and it wouldn't go to the

964
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: next exercise without ten. And so I was like, oh,

965
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: that's pretty interesting. So anyway, O n y X check

966
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: it out. It's for the iPhone only if you have

967
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: a newer iPhone. You have to have an iPhone ten

968
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: and up to get that. The counting and all the

969
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: virtual stuff. That's that's the phone you need for that.

970
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,400
