34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,800

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: I look forward to this. You have no idea. I

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: think about this show every day of the week, mostly

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: because I'm wondering what I'm going to talk about for

44
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: three hours. But it really goes fast, and I sit

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: there and I told my wife yesterday, I said, you know,

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: three hours sounds like a lot, but it goes really fast,

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: and there's so much I've got a whole list of

48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: things I want to tell you about today. This week,

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: as part of our New year, we did something different.

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: We got a dumpster at the house. Now, I know

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: this sounds weird, but my wife got this idea from

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: her sister to get a dumpster, literally, one of those

53
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: like industrial dumpsters you see at like a job site.

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: We got that outside of our house. No, we're not

55
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: doing construction, not doing anything special. We just wanted a

56
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: cleanse and we cleansed. We just threw out everything, all

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: the stuff we had moved to our house years ago,

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: and we had boxes we had still not opened.

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: We just tossed him into the dumpster.

60
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: Everything that, you know, all that stuff that you just

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: say you'll figure out one of these days. You put

62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: it in the garage, you put it in the back

63
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: of the closet. We just got rid of it. It's like,

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, what, if we haven't needed it at this point,

65
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: we are never gonna need it.

66
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: So it was great.

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: We feel more accomplished at the beginning of this new year.

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: Than we ever have in our lives. So I highly

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: recommend the dumpster method. It really makes you feel good.

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: And we were brutal. We threw out so much stuff.

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: In fact, my wife just texted me and she said, Rich,

72
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, we threw out our kids karate shirt like

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: his literally his karate shirt in the closet. So now

74
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: they're going to karate and he has no shirt. He

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: has to get anyone. So us throwing everything out has

76
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: now cost me more money.

77
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: Very very exciting.

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Well, I mentioned this is the kick off off to

79
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: the new year, and right in the new year, what

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: does it start with?

81
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Every year?

82
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Cees CS twenty twenty four is happening in Las Vegas.

83
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: Many of my tech friends are flying there as we speak.

84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: I will be heading to Las Vegas to show you

85
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: and talk to you about everything I will see in

86
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: the next week. And it's pretty wild. I had to

87
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: go back in my notes and check I've now been

88
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: covering CES for sixteen years. Who I can't believe it's

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: been that long. So I looked up my first video.

90
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: I was working for c neet at the time my

91
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: first CS. I was in New York and I looked

92
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: up my first video I did, and it was hit

93
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the ground running. I was there for eleven days in

94
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and it was wild. I mean, talk about

95
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: being thrown into the fire. I mean it was just

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: like NonStop. I did have a lot of help, which

97
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: I think was great with c NET. They had a

98
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: lot of producers that they assigned you and stuff like that,

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: so it was really helpful. But I found my first

100
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: CS video I was hosting with Veronica Belmont, a show

101
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: called Crave. Veronica was like one of the superstar personalities

102
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: at CINAT and so just getting to do anything with

103
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: her was like incredible for me because I was like

104
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: the new guy and she was the person that was

105
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: just she was like a superstar. She was there for

106
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: a long time and ended up leaving and now I

107
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: think she's at Adobe. But anyway, sixteen years ago, first CES.

108
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: Then I kind of looked through all my videos that

109
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: went viral over the years. I remember my very first

110
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: viral video from CS. It was in twenty nineteen. It

111
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: was a fold of It was called the foldy Mate.

112
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: This was a laundry folding machine and the video is

113
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: only about I don't know, thirty or something seconds, but

114
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: I remember posting this to my Instagram or my Facebook

115
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: or I think it was Facebook back in the day,

116
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: and I had never seen anything like this. The video

117
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: is fifty four seconds and I was like, this looks interesting,

118
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: and I just posted. I said, this is the laundry folding.

119
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: This is the laundry folding robot dreams are made of.

120
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: And it went wild. I had never seen a video

121
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: go that viral in my entire career thus far. And

122
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: I just watched the numbers just go and go and go,

123
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: and every single person, you know, it was shown on

124
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: TV across the world, and the company that made it

125
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: out of Israel, they were like, do you want to

126
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: come to Israel, and like come to our factory and

127
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: this and that, and I don't know what happened with

128
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: the machine. I don't know if it ever like saw

129
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: the light of day, but that was pretty wild. In

130
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, it was a pizza making robot that went viral.

131
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: So this was an AI pizza machine and it was

132
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: called Picnic. And of course this was twenty twenty, so

133
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: four years ago. AI and this machine. I watched it

134
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: make the pizza. I got the video, I posted it

135
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: and people went wild. I tried the pizza. It was

136
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: actually pretty good, and it was fully automated from start

137
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: to finish, and so that was really interesting. Now, in

138
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, it was a pandemic year and so

139
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: CS actually called me to host. They were doing a

140
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: virtual cs CS Digital and so I actually went up

141
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: to Seattle and hosted the entire show, which was not

142
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: in person, it was all virtual, and I hosted it

143
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: with my friend Brian Tong and I Justine and we

144
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: went up there and it was so great. We had

145
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: such a good time, and it was it was at

146
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: the Microsoft campus, so we actually did it inside this

147
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: cool studio that was fully.

148
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: Virtual and it was just it was wild.

149
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: And so that was CS twenty twenty one, and of

150
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: course I had to get a lot of permissions to

151
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: do that form my TV station, but it all worked out.

152
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: They thought it was pretty awesome. In twenty twenty two,

153
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: it was another robot. See the trend here they're all robots.

154
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: This was a Mica and this was a robot that

155
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell if there was a person behind the

156
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: scenes talking for the robot or if it was an

157
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: actual real robot.

158
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: But it was so humanistic. Is that a word humanistic,

159
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: and it just the way it moved, the way it flowed,

160
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: the way.

161
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: It answered questions, and this thing went wild online. You

162
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: can always tell a good viral video when everyone just

163
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: steals your video and re uploads it to their website

164
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: and it still goes viral, And so that was really

165
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: an interesting one to watch as well. Now last year

166
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: it was twenty twenty three, it was all about this

167
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: color changing BMW. So BMW had this car that they

168
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: covered in e ink display panels and so it didn't change.

169
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it was like physic like actual colors.

170
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: I think it was just like black and white, like

171
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: shades of gray, right, and so I think that's as

172
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: I remember it. But it was basically like a whole

173
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: bunch of Kindle displays that they put on this car

174
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: and it could just change from like you know, black

175
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: to white to gray to like anything in between. And

176
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: so the comments on that were just wild. You know,

177
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: talk about car chases in LA. We've got a black

178
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: car on chase. Oh no, we've got a white car

179
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: on chase. Oh no, it's a gray BMW on chase.

180
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: So that was pretty wild. And there was two videos

181
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: that went kind of viral, the Ring Carcam, which was

182
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: the first ring cam for your car. It's like kind

183
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: of like a dash cam. And then the ring drone,

184
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: which is this little ring camera that flies around your house.

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: And so that launched and I don't think it ever

186
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: really did very well, but the carcam did. And by

187
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: the way, I started this very radio show. So I

188
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: remember I had to cut my CS short. Typically at

189
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: CS I will stay maybe an extra night. This last year,

190
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: I had to come back so so nervous about starting

191
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: this new radio show, but I was excited because I

192
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: would have so much to talk about because it was

193
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: a brand new show and I had just been to CS.

194
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: So a little trip down memory lane, you know, I

195
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: feel like anything before twenty nineteen. There's a big gap

196
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: between two thousand and six and twenty nineteen. I'm sure

197
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: there's more things that kind of went viral or that

198
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: were notable, but I couldn't find them very quickly. All right,

199
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: coming up on today's show, a Verizon settlement. Did you

200
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: get the email? It is very real. You might have

201
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: up to one one hundred dollars coming your way, but

202
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: first it is your turn.

203
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: Give me a call.

204
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: Your calls coming up at eight eight eight rich one

205
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: oh one. That's eight eight eight seven four two four

206
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: one zero one. You can follow me online. I'm at

207
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Give me a call if you have

208
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: a question about technology. My name is rich Tamiro and

209
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: you are listening to rich on tech Thurman in Winchester, Massachusetts.

210
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich.

211
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: Yes, I guess good morning for you. Going for me.

212
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: I was thinking about especially from Verismon where I've had

213
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: some you know, signal drops the last few months to

214
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 3: uh subby. I first I thought, I go AT and T,

215
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: just try out that network, But then I understand there

216
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: are things like pure Talk that use the AT and

217
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: T network, and they've now added FOURIGN coverage, so that's good.

218
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm tempted to make the punge, but I

219
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: just wonder if you've had an opinions on these discount

220
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: wild wireless carriers that are piggyback on the main network.

221
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Great question, and I will tell you this off the bat.

222
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: I trust one of these mv and o's to my mom,

223
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: So if it's good enough for her, believe me, I

224
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: think they are good enough for everyone. Now Here is

225
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: the main difference. Okay, So with the main carriers like

226
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: a Verizon, an AT and T or a T Mobile.

227
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: They want you on one of their fancy unlimited plans

228
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: which includes a lot of stuff. It includes Netflix, it

229
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: includes mobile hotspot, it includes some sort of foreign roaming.

230
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: So it's all about getting you on that big unlimited plan.

231
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: And also they have a lot of discounts with phones,

232
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: and people get their phone through the carrier. I feel

233
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: like the mv and o's are kind of a play

234
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: on your budget, so you can get more for your

235
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: money if you're bringing especially if you're bringing your.

236
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: Own phone to the table.

237
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: And a lot of these mv and o's have their

238
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: own phone deals as well. Now, what's an mv and

239
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: O mobile virtual network operator. There's only three networks in

240
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: the US. That's AT and T, T Mobile, and Verizon.

241
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: All of these other companies that you hear advertised are

242
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: running on their networks. Now, the downsides of something like

243
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: an mv and O is really you have to check

244
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: out the plan to see what you get and what

245
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: you don't get. So there are some people that believe

246
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: that AT and T or Verizon or T Mobile will

247
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: prioritize their highest paying customers first and then so if

248
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: you're in a really congested area, you may not get

249
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: the top speed or the top service in that area. Now,

250
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I will tell you I have a test line for

251
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: Mint Mobile, and I find that it is excellent. It

252
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: really really works very nicely. And I've tested many other

253
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: mv and o's over the years, and they're really good

254
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: as long as you know what you're getting. Some of

255
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: them have limited minutes, some of them have limited data,

256
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: some of them may not have you know, all the

257
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: little perks of those unlimited plans, But if you know

258
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: what you're getting for that price, it's a really good value.

259
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: So Thurman, I have no problem recommending that you switch

260
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: to one of these, and look, if you don't like it,

261
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: you can always switch back. Some of these, you know,

262
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: or almost every single one of them is month to month,

263
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: so you basically pay for it. You're kind of paying

264
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: in advance, and that's it. They just billy every month

265
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: with something like a Mint Mobile.

266
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: Some of them give you.

267
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: A bigger discount if you pay for more than one

268
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: month at a time.

269
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: But it's a new year.

270
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: A lot of these companies are giving deals right now,

271
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: and so I think you'll be fine. And if you

272
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: want to try an AT and T, you can actually

273
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: go to a website called whistle Out Whistle whistle out

274
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: dot com and they will help you compare all of

275
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: the different sell plans out there. The website again whistle

276
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: out dot com, and you can say if you want

277
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: it to run on the AT and T network, or

278
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: the Verizon network or the T Mobile network. A lot

279
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: of the mv and os run on T Mobile. That's

280
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: probably the most common one. AT and T is probably

281
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: the second most common, and then Verizon is probably the

282
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: least common for mv and os. The main one that

283
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: they've run is their own, which is called Visible, and

284
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: that's basically you know, when Visible first came out, I

285
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: interviewed the CEO Visible, and I couldn't even believe it.

286
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: I said, how are you offering Verizon's network at a

287
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: fraction of the price.

288
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: I think it was like thirty bucks a month.

289
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: And the big thing was that it was limited in

290
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: your speed, So your speed was download limited to about

291
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: five megabits per second. They've since done away with that,

292
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: but that was kind of like the delineation. If you

293
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: want the fastest Verizon network speed, you got to go

294
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: with Verizon. If you don't really care, and you want

295
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: to save a bunch of money and pay thirty dollars

296
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: a month, go with visible. So great question, Thurman to

297
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: kick off the show for the new year.

298
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call, all right.

299
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of these different cell phone companies, Verizon, a lot

300
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: of people have emailed me saying, I got this class

301
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: action settlement email.

302
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: Is it legitimate? Yes, it is legitimate.

303
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: If you get this in your email, you do need

304
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: to file a claim by April fifteenth. You can get

305
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: up to one hundred dollars from Verizon if you were

306
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: a customer between January first, twenty sixteen and November eighth,

307
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. And the whole lawsuit is related to

308
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: these administrative charges on their wireless accounts.

309
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: These were accounts that they.

310
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Charge fees that someone said, I don't think these fees

311
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: we were good or they weren't legitimate whatever. All of

312
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: these class action settlements. The company is not saying they

313
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: did anything wrong. They're just saying, look, we don't want

314
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: to deal with this. We're just going to put a

315
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: whole bunch of money towards this. We're going to give

316
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: everyone a hundred bucks and you don't get to file

317
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: a claim personally against this. That's how class action works.

318
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm not a lawyer, but that's how I understand it.

319
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: So when you get this one hundred dollars, you're giving

320
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: up your right to file a bigger claim against Verizon

321
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: for these administrative charges. Happens all the time. There's another

322
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: one right now with Visio. I'll talk about that a

323
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. But again, if you

324
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: got this email from Verizon that was about this class

325
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: action settlement, oh, I can't believe it as I'm speaking.

326
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: I just got this email in my inbox for myself.

327
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: So I had an account with them, I guess during

328
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: this timeframe, and I just got it. The email comes

329
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: from do not Reply at Verizon Administrative Charge Settlement dot com.

330
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: So if you haven't gotten it, it clearly seems like

331
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: this is rolling out because I got a bunch of

332
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: emails about it yesterday from people asking me. Now, I

333
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: just got one myself. Richontech dot tv is the website.

334
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: I'll put all the links that I talk about right there.

335
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: Coming up, Brian Kamiski, futurist at CTA, is going to

336
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: talk about what to expect from this year CS twenty

337
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: twenty four happening in Las Vegas this week.

338
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: Welcome back to rich on Tech.

339
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: Rich dam So here hanging out with you, talking technology

340
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: and guess what. CEES twenty twenty four is just around

341
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: the corner. It happens in Las Vegas January ninth through twelfth,

342
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: and of course I will be there. Joining me now

343
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: is Brian komiskey futurist at the Consumer Technology Association. They

344
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: put on CS in Las Vegas every year. Brian, thanks

345
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: so much for joining me.

346
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 4: Of course, thank you so much, Rich for having me.

347
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 4: It's a pleasure to be here.

348
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: So tell me about CES and CTA. What's the relationship

349
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: between those two, Yeah.

350
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 4: Of course.

351
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 5: So the Consumer Technology Association, we're not for profit trade association.

352
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 5: We're the largest North America representing tech companies from your

353
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 5: startups all the way to your global multinationals right representing

354
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 5: cross the United States and Canada, just everything that is

355
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 5: consumer technology. Beyond that, I probably most people know us

356
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 5: best as the owners and producers of CEES, which is

357
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 5: one of the largest in the world for technology.

358
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 4: So that's the relationship there between CTA and CES.

359
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: Okay, So CS is happening January ninth through twelfth this year.

360
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: It's actually a little bit later than in previous years,

361
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: which I kind of.

362
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: Like explain CS for someone.

363
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: Who has not been. I mean, I've been for many years.

364
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: It is kind of like a tech circus, if you might.

365
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 5: The way I describe it is when you think about

366
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 5: technology and gathering a lot of companies or exhibitors and

367
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 5: innovation together, it's very nostalgic.

368
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 6: For me.

369
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 5: It reminds me a lot of like what one would

370
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 5: read about from the World's Fair back in the day

371
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 5: in Chicago, or another more.

372
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 4: Modern example is EPCOT.

373
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 5: Right, EPCOT stands for Experimental pro type Community of Tomorrow

374
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 5: is what it actually was at Disney. So in many

375
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 5: ways it has always felt like this big tent and

376
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 5: I'm god, you said circus, like this big tent of

377
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 5: every innovation you can think of, and it's not just

378
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 5: consumer gadgets, it is also enterprise technologies.

379
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: We're also we're one.

380
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 5: Of the largest car shows in the world, but we're

381
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 5: actually large mobility show because we include boats and even

382
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 5: flying cars as well.

383
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: There.

384
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 5: So it's really this sort of every facet of innovation,

385
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 5: from a spark of an idea all the way to

386
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 5: a proven concept and product comes to CEES.

387
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean I get some of my best story ideas

388
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: for the entire year from the week that I spend

389
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, and not just like the stuff I'm

390
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: gonna show, but it's also like an understanding of you know,

391
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: what are these companies kind of focusing on this year.

392
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: Some of this stuff is early stage, so you attrack

393
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: it throughout the year and maybe even into the next year.

394
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: Of course, it's a great way to meet people and

395
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: to you know, meet people in person from around the

396
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: world because a lot of these startups and different companies

397
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: bring everyone in. How do you determine what sort of

398
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: themes you are going to.

399
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: Have for that year's CES.

400
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 5: I don't think it will be surprised where you'll see

401
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 5: every industry vertical, but the three technology trends that will

402
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 5: really kind of act horizontally and cut across every industry vertical,

403
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 5: so cut across gaming, digital, health, mobility, and others will

404
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 5: be things like artificial intelligence, sustainability, and then accessible or

405
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 5: inclusive tech design. Right, the idea of it's about addition,

406
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 5: not subtracting, adding more people who can use your product

407
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 5: regardless of either disability or to.

408
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 4: Make sure that you're representing people in your tech design.

409
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: Let's start with the AI aspect.

410
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 7: AI.

411
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: It's kind of like the Internet.

412
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: Back in the day when I went to CS, the

413
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: Internet was built into every product that you could imagine.

414
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: You saw a mug, it has Internet for better or

415
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: for worse for some products. So what do you see

416
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: as being kind of interesting about AI at CES this year?

417
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, And so when you think about AI,

418
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: I think it's important to start with, well, why has

419
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 5: it been so exciting this year? A lot of that

420
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: has been driven by generative AI and chat GPT. Right,

421
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 5: it's a tangible way. I think a lot of consumers

422
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 5: got to experience AI responding to them in real time

423
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 5: and it's incredible technology. But it's just a slice of

424
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 5: the overall ecosystem. So at CS you're going to see

425
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 5: the entire ecosystem, and we have historically shown this in AI,

426
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 5: and that starts with chips. So what's the AI hardware

427
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 5: that's going to power the AI innovations that you'll see,

428
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 5: Think industrial metaverses to control factory floors, or even living

429
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 5: represent our virtual representations of the human heart, to advance

430
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 5: research on cardiological diseases, so that has so many applications

431
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 5: out of its own right, we'll also see platforms, and

432
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 5: what that means is more advanced chatbots or even digital

433
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 5: humans that can serve in a kiosk and be responsive

434
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 5: in real time to any questions that you have if

435
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 5: you're at an office or at an amusement park or

436
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 5: something like that. Finally, we'll even see it in robotics, right,

437
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 5: and that will range from those consumer robotics like your vacuums,

438
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 5: or robotic baristas or countertop robots for your food, all

439
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 5: the way to industrial robots for logistics. So it's going

440
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 5: to be really every sort of underpinning. And then of

441
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 5: course AI is going to appear in some unexpected ways.

442
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 5: You'll see it in your TV sets more and more displaced.

443
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 5: A wireless TV provider will have AI shopping on board

444
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 5: their TV sets, and you'll even see an AI electronic

445
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: healthcare monitoring to reduce infection after surgery. So it's applications

446
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 5: that are not just beneficial to make your life more fun,

447
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 5: but also to benefit your life directly by maybe you know,

448
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 5: reducing a hospital stay. So it's pretty impressive how AI

449
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 5: is going to come about at CES.

450
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: What do you make of this drive, we've seen towards

451
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: sustainability from the major tech companies that have been putting

452
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: products into the world for many years, and increasingly they

453
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: are thinking more about the materials they're using and also

454
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: how those products can be recycled when they're done.

455
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, and I think that's been a consideration

456
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 5: for quite some time if you actually look at it.

457
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 5: The Paris Agreement was signed back in twenty sixteen and

458
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: the target dates for for twenty thirty. We're actually past

459
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 5: the halfway point now, so you're starting to see an

460
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 5: acceleration of some concepts companies were already doing. You mentioned

461
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 5: sort of packaging recyclable materials. That's always been part of

462
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 5: the consumer technology story, and you'll see that cs. In fact,

463
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 5: one of the examples that I'm really excited to see

464
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 5: person is power Foiled by Exeger. This is a flexible

465
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 5: or customizable solar cell that you can put on everyday

466
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 5: consumer electronics like headphones that have partnership with Urbanista. You

467
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 5: can put it on GPS tracker enabled dog harnesses, and

468
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 5: it's basically just solar empowering every.

469
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: Consumer gadget you have in your life.

470
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 5: That's one facet, right but we also see at CEES

471
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 5: alternative power source innovation, whether that's green hydrogen from big

472
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: players like sk or some of your changes in electric

473
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 5: vehicle models on the show for at West Hall.

474
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 4: And then you'll even see more novel.

475
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: And experimental ways where there's a company that's going to

476
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 5: showcase how do you harvest sound waves from ambient noise

477
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 5: into electrical energy. So it's this larger story, all hands

478
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 5: on deck towards this more greener tomorrow.

479
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the accessibility kind of initiatives

480
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: by these companies. We're seeing technology really enable so many

481
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: amazing things for people of varying abilities. What can we

482
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: expect to see at CS this year?

483
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 5: Innovation comes in two ways, right, see the revolutionary where

484
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 5: you take these moonshot leaps in one place for a

485
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 5: technology category, or it's evolutionary, it's iterative. Last year we

486
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 5: saw some great advancements from Loril actually with their Hapta

487
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 5: device which allows you to apply lipstick if you have

488
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 5: limited mobility. Another story is Sony introduced their all Access

489
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 5: controller concept last year. It's on the market as of

490
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 5: a few weeks ago, and this is a modular controller

491
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 5: that allows anyone with limited mobility to be able to

492
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 5: play a game. So this year where we're going to

493
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 5: see it is you're going to see that continued advancement.

494
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 5: So Garman is bringing their Venue three, which has a

495
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 5: wheelchair mode on their wearable watch. When you think about

496
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 5: wearing a wearable you kind of take for granted that

497
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 5: tracks your steps, your physical activity if you're able to walk.

498
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 4: Now if you're in a wheelchair, you'll get those same stats.

499
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 5: We'll also see a rig that attaches to treadmills that

500
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 5: a lot of people in wheelchairs that also be able

501
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 5: to compete in esports or do physical activities in a

502
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 5: sort of metaverse like environment. Beyond that, though, again it's

503
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 5: sort of leveling up this concept of accessibility to think

504
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 5: about getting more people included in the technology in terms

505
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 5: of who's designing and how this is that inclusive nature.

506
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 5: These stories really about how do you add and build

507
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 5: to your market and you know what it actually improves

508
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 5: the bottom line. There's some recent report showing that you

509
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 5: increase your revenue by one point six times if you

510
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 5: focus on accessible inclusive design in your product.

511
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 4: So it actually has paysed dividends quite literally.

512
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 2: CS has certainly evolved over the years.

513
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: Can you give me some numbers to expect, like how

514
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: many people attend CS, how many exhibitors are there?

515
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: Right now?

516
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: We're tracking for about one hundred and thirty thousand attendees

517
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 5: right now, which we're really excited about. Last year was

518
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 5: about one hundred and eighteen or so. But if you're going,

519
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 5: you're also going to see more than four thousand exhibit

520
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 5: companies as well as within that category, about twelve hundred

521
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 5: of them are going to be startups.

522
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: And I hate to be the bearer of bad news

523
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: for someone that's listening that wants to go, but you

524
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: have to be in the industry.

525
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: It's not open to the public. Will they ever change that?

526
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 4: I mean, that's always a good question.

527
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 5: I wish I sent in the research apartment, so I

528
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 5: can't speak to if they change the attendance policy.

529
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 4: But yes, it is industry for now.

530
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: Brian kamiskey futurist at the Consumer Technology Association.

531
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for joining me today.

532
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: Of course, Thank you so much.

533
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: Rich All right, more Rich on tech coming your way

534
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: right after this.

535
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: If you have a question about technology, give me a

536
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: call triple eight Rich one oh one, that's eight eight

537
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. This

538
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: is episode fifty three of the rich on Tech Radio Show,

539
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: celebrating our first show of the second year.

540
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: Pretty pretty cool.

541
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: If you go to the website richontech Dot, you can

542
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: see everything I talk about. If you want to see

543
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about in real time, if you're listening live,

544
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: you can go to rich on tech dot tv slash wiki.

545
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: By the way, it's kind of cool, and you know,

546
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: this is pretty standard with any website, but you know,

547
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: you can see where people are coming in from. And

548
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: as we speak, we've got people from Oliver, California, Oregon, Wyoming, Canada, Minnesota, Missouri, Chicago, Ohio, Washington, Virginia,

549
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Georgia. So it is pretty incredible when you

550
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: think about how this whole thing works. I sit here,

551
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: I talk, and it just goes everywhere. It's it's amazing

552
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: and I love the fact that what keeps me going

553
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: on this show is the response I get from you.

554
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: There is not a day that goes by that someone

555
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: doesn't say, rich that thing you mentioned it worked out

556
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: really well.

557
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 2: You helped me out.

558
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: I traveled here, I did that, and that's what it's

559
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: all about. I don't know everything there is to know,

560
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: but I can figure out the way to find the

561
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: right answers. And what I love is getting these questions

562
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: from you that helped me understand, you know, what's vexing

563
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: people like, what is really challenging people out there in

564
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: the world of tech.

565
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: Let's go to David in your Belinda. David, you're on

566
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: with Rich.

567
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 6: Well, Hi, Rich, we're a long time We're longtime fans

568
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 6: from Channel five and now on the radio, so thank you.

569
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 6: I am looking to get a good camera phone and

570
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 6: because on vacations I have a carried the camera and

571
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 6: the phone, and I'm thinking, well, I want your opinion.

572
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 6: I'm not that tanky, so you know, a point and

573
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 6: shoot and good quality is what I'm.

574
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: Looking for for a cell phone.

575
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'm just looking at the Pixel Pro eight

576
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 6: and the.

577
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 8: Fifteen Pro.

578
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so iPhone fifteen Pro and then the Pixel eight Pro.

579
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: Those are probably two of the top choices out there.

580
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: I would throw in a third the Samsung Galaxy S

581
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: twenty three Ultra, but I wouldn't get a Samsung at

582
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: this point just because and I haven't talked about this

583
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: yet on the show, but their event is happening in

584
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks where they're going to launch their

585
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: new smartphone. So I would actually tell you, David, right

586
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: now as we speak, I probably wouldn't make any decisions

587
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,239
Speaker 1: right now until about maybe the end of January, if

588
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: you can wait that long. Because Samsung's gonna announce their

589
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: phones on January seventeenth. That means they probably will come out,

590
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, a week or two after that, and I

591
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 1: think that'll give reviewers like myself enough time to come

592
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: up with a strong opinion on whether that is a

593
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: contender for the best photos and videos outside of the

594
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: Pixel or the iPhone. But let me tell you where

595
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: I stand right now and the two phones that I

596
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: carry on, well, I carry three, but.

597
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: They're you know, it's three I just mentioned.

598
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: But I will tell you that the iPhone overall, iPhone

599
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: fifteen Pro overall takes the best.

600
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: Photos and videos. Especially when it comes to videos.

601
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: There is not a phone out there that can take

602
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: a better video than the iPhone fifteen Pro. And that

603
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: is not just my opinion. It is everyone I run with,

604
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: everyone I talk to. It is just one hundred percent

605
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: the way it is. So yes, it's an opinion, but

606
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of like agreed with by everyone. Now when

607
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: it comes to photos, that is where there is a

608
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: bit of a divide. So I will say after using

609
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: the iPhone fifteen Pro, the Pixel eight Pro, and the

610
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy S twenty three Ultra, they all have their

611
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: strong and weak points when it comes to photos. For

612
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 1: just standard point and shoot, I really like the way

613
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: the Pixel eight Pro looks, and I think that your

614
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: photos pretty much every time nail it, you know, they

615
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: just look really really good. I think the selfies look

616
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: not so good. I think the iPhone really gets those.

617
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: And when it comes to overall, the S twenty three

618
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: Ultra is a really good camera for pictures, but there

619
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: are some places where it lags a little bit. And

620
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: I would say for people they look really good. I

621
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: mean just the skin tones and all that kind of

622
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: stuff just look really nice and well done on the

623
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: S twenty three. But sometimes people think that the S

624
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: twenty three or the Samsung pictures in general, they look

625
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: a little bit too saturated, a little bit too fake.

626
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: So I think if you want something now, then maybe

627
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: go with the iPhone fifteen Pro, and that's going to

628
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: be a good mix of kind of everything.

629
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 2: You need. So if you want to wait though, until you.

630
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: Know mid January, end of January, that might be the

631
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: best time to buy, just because we already know what

632
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: the Pixel does, We already know what the iPhone does,

633
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: but we don't know what that new Samsung does. And

634
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: let's be honest, smartphone sales are kind of in the

635
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: tank right now. They're not doing doing very well, and

636
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: so I feel like Samsung really needs to bring it

637
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: with this new phone to make it something that people

638
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: want to go out and buy. And I know there's

639
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of AI built into it. That's

640
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: kind of like the big selling point. And I'm just

641
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: looking at the notes that you have right here. You'll

642
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: currently have a Samsung A thirteen, So anything you get

643
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: is going to be a very very big upgrade from that.

644
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, David in your Belinda, and thanks

645
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: for watching on KTLA and finding me here on the radio.

646
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: Eighty eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

647
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: four to two four one zero one.

648
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: If you want to hop on the phone and give

649
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: me a call if you have a question about technology,

650
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: So let me just mention this Samsung just kind of

651
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: to finish that up. Samsung put out their invitation for

652
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: Galaxy Unpacked twenty twenty four. It's gonna happen January seventeenth

653
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: in San Jose.

654
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: I will be there. This is where we will see

655
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: the new S twenty four Ultra on veiled. And again

656
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: this is just stuff I'm going by. We don't know

657
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: for sure that it's gonna be called that, but we

658
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: pretty much do.

659
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: So this is gonna happen at ten am, and they

660
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: said it's gonna usher in a new era of mobile AI.

661
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: So this is all about AI.

662
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Of course, AI is the big buzzword both at CS

663
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: and of course with every product that's gonna come out

664
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years. So the S series,

665
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: S twenty four, S twenty four plus S twenty four

666
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: Ultra will all have a dose of AI.

667
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: And what does that mean.

668
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: Well, they're promoting this new AI zoom functionality, so I

669
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: guess your pictures will look better and you can also

670
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: edit with AI as well. It's kind of very similar

671
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: to what we've seen with the pixel But again I'm

672
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: looking forward to it because I think Samsung really brings

673
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: it with their phones and they kind of have like

674
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: the best hardware out there.

675
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: I think the software for me leaves a little bit

676
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 2: to be desired. It's like a little bit, a little

677
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: bit too much, but we'll see. So there you go.

678
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: Samsung Unpacked twenty twenty four. All right, if you have

679
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: Spectrum TV, you now get Disney Plus for free.

680
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: That's right.

681
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: If you have Spectrum TV, if you're paying Spectrum TV customer,

682
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: you get Disney Plus for free. This is traditional TV.

683
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: You have to have the Spectrum TV Select package and

684
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: this is not something that you just have.

685
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: You know, you have to sign up for this. It's

686
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,480

691
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: That is the Disney Plus that has ads. I think

00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: it's about I don't know, six to nine dollars a

693
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,919

695
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: So if you have Spectrum TV, you're paying for standard

696
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: you know TV that comes in through cable for your

697
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,560

716
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: T Tanya we've had on the show before. She has

717
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: a great resource. She's going to talk about what parents

Speaker 1: need to know about child and teens safety online. He's

719
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: going to talk about incognito mode on the web browser too,

720
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of misconceptions about what that does

721
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: and does not hide.

722
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,759

Speaker 2: Let's go to Fred in Pasadena, Fred Aron with Rich.

731
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: Hi.

732
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: Happy New Year.

733
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 9: Rich.

734
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 8: I have a question regarding communication platforms in the workplace.

735
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 8: During the pandemic, my team organization, we transition to using

736
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 8: platforms like Slack in particular, and it's been working very

737
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 8: well and using it for over three years now. But

738
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 8: I'm curious outside of that one, are there any others

739
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 8: that you would recomen that had the same functionality, you know,

740
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 8: so that I can use with my teams.

741
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 2: What what don't you like about Slack? What's it not doing?

742
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 8: I actually like everything about Slack. I like Flack, but

743
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 8: my organization is also looking at other options like teams,

744
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 8: even like hangouts, things like that. Yeah, I want to

745
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 8: be sure that you know that I am in position

746
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 8: to advocate for the one I'm using, or if there's

747
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 8: another one out there that has other bells and whistles

748
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 8: that I'm not aware of, that I can also take

749
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 8: a look at those good question.

750
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: I think.

751
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean Slack obviously kind of they created the market here.

752
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: Before Slack, it was texting, email, It wasn't this unified

753
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: platform for messaging that workplace is used. And Slack really

754
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: started out with startups they would use it, and then

755
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: I think corporations caught on later on, and you know,

756
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: it's decently priced, it does all the stuff you want.

757
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: And I think I personally don't use Slack, but I

758
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: think the appeal to me. And now it's owned by Salesforce,

759
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: by the way, But I think the beauty of Slack

760
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: is that it is it was created to solve a

761
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: problem and it solved that problem really well.

762
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 2: And what's that problem.

763
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: Well, you know communication in the workplace, Email gets too crowded,

764
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: chatting and text messaging is not really on the company,

765
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: so it's it's kind of like outside of the company

766
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: realm with this, you can search with this, you can

767
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: have you know, company directories integrated, and all that kind

768
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: of stuff, video meetings, audio meetings. I think what you're

769
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: talking about the two biggest competitors are Microsoft Teams and

770
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: then of course Google Workspace. Now, I think what it

771
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: really come down to is what you're using for the

772
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: rest of your company. So if you are a Microsoft

773
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: Office three sixty five company, you may want to look

774
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: into Teams because Teams is going to do a lot

775
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: of the same things that Slack does, but it's going

776
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: to be more tightly integrated with all of the Microsoft products.

777
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: And the same thing goes with Google. If you want

778
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: to use Google Chat and all the stuff that Google

779
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: has to offer inside Google Workspace, that might be a

780
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: better fit because again it's everything all in one place.

781
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: And so I think that's what it really comes down to.

782
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: What I've seen with companies is that they're sort of

783
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: siding with whatever they use, whether it's Google, whether it's

784
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: Microsoft or some sort of third party solution. You know,

785
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Slack fits into those, but if you're using Microsoft or Google,

786
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: you kind of want to stay in line with that

787
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: because everything's going to be all in one place, So

788
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: I think those are the three that are the main,

789
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: you know, the main ones that I see people using.

790
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: Of course, there's probably a thousand other ones out there.

791
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: But if you like and it's working, I don't see

792
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: a reason to change it, because as an employee of

793
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: a company, you know who wants change.

794
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: No one really wants to change things up.

795
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, it's funny because we saw

796
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: Zoom really take off during the pandemic and it's great.

797
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: But then of course we saw some companies go to

798
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: teams and then of course Google with Google Meet if

799
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: they're using Google Workspace. So there's a lot of ways

800
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: to do this, but it really comes down to how

801
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,479
Speaker 1: much grief do you want from your employees by making

802
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: a major change in the way they message. And also,

803
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: what are the other products you're using? Uh, does that

804
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: fit in with them? And are you paying extra? So

805
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: if you're paying extra for Slack and you're paying for

806
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: Google or Microsoft, it's probably better to just streamline it

807
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: all and pay one price every month per user. Thanks

808
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,160

Speaker 2: What can I help you with?

815
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,479
Speaker 11: Thank you so much for sharing all your new tech

816
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 11: stuff over the years, and also, I mean everything from

817
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 11: new tech to scams. I appreciate it.

818
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.

819
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 11: I also want to tell you you and your family

820
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 11: are quite adorable.

821
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: Ah, well, thank you.

822
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 9: You're welcome.

823
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 11: Okay, So we've had a book. We had a bunch

824
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 11: of old computers in the garage. Before we got rid

825
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 11: of them. My nephew removed all the hard drives. So

826
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 11: I have a pile of hard drives. What can I

827
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 11: do with those?

828
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 9: Now?

829
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 11: Can I get information off of those?

830
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 12: Uh?

831
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 2: Yeah you can.

832
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: It's uh it's going to require a cable or a doc.

833
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: So if you go on Amazon and you look up

834
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: let's see what can you look up? Hard drive to

835
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: USB adapter? So if you look up what kind of

836
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: computer do you have? Like a macor PC?

837
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 9: I have that?

838
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 11: No, not an I have. So if the brand is SA,

839
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 11: B R, E.

840
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 2: And T okay, and what it's not working?

841
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 11: It's two point five to USB three point zero. No

842
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 11: it doesn't. There's no like when you plug it in

843
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 11: you have, like, no, what.

844
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 2: Would you call like, it doesn't mount the drive.

845
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, and there's no graphical of anything.

846
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 2: To go on, like, it doesn't show that the drive

847
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 2: is there, right, Oh? Interesting? How old are these drives?

848
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 11: Oh they are, some are fifteen years old.

849
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, that that could be it. They could

850
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: be in a format that your new computer doesn't read.

851
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: And if they're not showing up, do none of them

852
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: show up?

853
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 11: I've tried. I don't know if I tried all of them,

854
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 11: but I tried most of them. Yeah, and they do

855
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 11: not show up.

856
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 2: None of them show up. Okay.

857
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: In that case, if they're not showing up, you might

858
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: need the help of what's called a data doctor, And

859
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: you can go on Yelp and search, you know, data

860
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: doctor in your area and find one, you know.

861
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: Call.

862
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: What I usually recommend with Yelp is like call the

863
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: top two and see which one you feel better about

864
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: when you call and talk to them. If one of

865
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: them gives you a better vibe, go with that person.

866
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, if they're not showing up on your computer,

867
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: then it's it could be an invalid file format. It

868
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: could be just that they're not you know, they're so

869
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: old that it's just not working anymore. I'm not really sure.

870
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of old drives in the garage

871
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: that I've been meaning.

872
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 2: To get rid of.

873
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: But if you don't need the data on these, then

874
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: I would just recommend bringing them to a shredding company.

875
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: So like you can look up an e waste company

876
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: that has a drive shredder. And I know a lot

877
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: of people keep these old drives around the house because

878
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: they have personal data on them. They don't want to

879
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: get rid of them, they want to erase them.

880
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: But you can.

881
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you could drill a whole through them too

882
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: if you want, or maybe take a hammer to them.

883
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: Be careful with that that part of it. But if

884
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: the if the drive doesn't work, or the DOC doesn't work,

885
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: or the USB cable doesn't work, then maybe just get

886
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: rid of these if the data is unnecessary, that's probably

887
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: your second best bet after the data doctor. If you

888
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: want this stuff off of them, you know, you got

889
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: to go to a data doctor and see if they

890
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: can reclaim that stuff. Good question, Karen, Thank you for

891
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: calling today from Charter Oak, California. Sounds like a school,

892
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: Charter Oak. My kids go to Charter Oak.

893
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: It's very nice. It's among the wilderness. It's got some

894
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: nice trees there.

895
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, I'm gonna tell you how to

896
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: do I have time to talk about Facebook?

897
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 13: No?

898
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: Right, I don't think so, Okay, I got time. Okay,

899
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: So let me tell you about this because I thought

900
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: this was a pretty big story this week. Facebook now

901
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: has this new thing called link history. So the next

902
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: time you open up a link on your Facebook mobile

903
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: app on your phone, you might be presented with this

904
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: new option that says, hey, do you want us to

905
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: track the links that you have that you click on Facebook?

906
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: And we'll put them in this link history for thirty

907
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: days and that way you can easily go back and

908
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: find the stuff that you clicked on in Facebook. It

909
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: sounds great, Okay, it could be helpful. But the other

910
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: side of this is that they're using your link history

911
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: to quote improve your ads across meta technologies.

912
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 2: What does that mean.

913
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: Well, they look at the websites that you visit and

914
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: they sell ads based on that information. So if you're

915
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: visiting a lot of sneaker websites or a lot of

916
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 1: travel websites, they will then use that data to sell

917
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: ads to you for sneakers and travel and so you

918
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: can turn this off.

919
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: Now.

920
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: Facebook tells me that this is off by default, and

921
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: so if you don't do anything, it's off. But it's

922
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of weird because the first time that you click

923
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: a link, it'll say never lose a link again, and

924
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: there's a little toggle switch that says allow link history

925
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: and then the confirm button. Now on my phone, the

926
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: allow link history was lit up, toggled on right, it

927
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: was highlighted in blue, so that means it's on, and

928
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: I would have to toggle the turn the toggle off,

929
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: and then press confirm to turn this feature off. So

930
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: no matter what, you can turn this off if you

931
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: don't like it by opening up the Facebook app, going

932
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: into the menu, going into settings and Privacy, then settings

933
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: and then browser and then toggling the switch next to

934
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: allow link History off or on if you want to

935
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: keep it on. I've got those instructions on my Instagram

936
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: at rich On Tech. Look for the It looks like

937
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: a post with a click like an icon for a pointer,

938
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: and also it says Facebook found a sneaky new way

939
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: to track you.

940
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: Here's how to disable it.

941
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: So if you want to disable it, you can, but

942
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where if you don't mind

943
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: the more targeted ads, then leave it on. But if

944
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: you don't like the idea of someone tracking you more

945
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 1: than they need to, you can turn it off. But again,

946
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: it's called Facebook link history. You will likely see it

947
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 1: the next time you click a link on your mobile

948
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: Facebook app. This is only on mobile right now, So

949
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: if you're on iPhone Android, then that's how you have

950
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: to access this and turn it on or off. The

951
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: desktop it's not on there at this point. So anyway,

952
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: now you know what that's all about, the next time

953
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: you see it. All right, coming up, we're going to

954
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: talk to Titanya Jordan about what you need to know

955
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: about child and teen safety. Plus we'll take more of

956
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: your calls at triple eight rich one oh one. That's

957
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

958
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: If you want to link to something I mentioned, go

959
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: to rich on tech dot tv slash wiki wiki. Everything

960
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: I talk about is posted in real time right there.

961
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: My name is rich Dmiro. Back after this, Welcome back

962
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,

963
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: talking technology. I love data like this rideshare data from

964
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: Lyft says where we went on New Year's Eve. Cities

965
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: with colder winters and January tend to have a higher

966
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: percentage of riders going out On Year's Eve. Buffalo, New

967
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: York had the most four point three percent of all

968
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: yearly rides. Most popular destinations bars, restaurants, hotels, and clubs. Okay,

969
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: no surprise there. But then they say some of the

970
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: top places in various cities, which again, these lyft drivers

971
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: and of course uber iwo, they know where people are going.

972
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: They know popular places before we know popular places because

973
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: they can look at the data. People stayed out about

974
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: an hour later on New Year's Eve across the US,

975
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: with Miami having fifty one percent of rides after three am.

976
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: Times Square partiers stayed out almost an hour later than

977
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: last year. Maybe it was warmer in Times Square than

978
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: it was last year. That looks miserable to me to

979
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: stand in those like those pens they have for people

980
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: in New York City like no thank you, Virginia Beach, Phoenix,

981
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: and Indianapolis most likely to be hungover based on very

982
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,760
Speaker 1: short rides on January first, people didn't want to go anywhere.

983
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what that correlation is, but whatever, and

984
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: only zero point three percent of rides on January first

985
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: were to gym's.

986
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: So I guess people lift says people postpone.

987
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: Their New Year's resolutions. Now, I don't know how many

988
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: people are taking a lift to the gym on Your's day.

989
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: I mean, aren't Jim's like near you and you drive?

990
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

991
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 9: What do I know?

992
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: Anyway, Lyft always comes out with these like data points,

993
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: which I think are pretty fun.

994
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: So that's why I shared.

995
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: We did take uber on New Year's Eve this year,

996
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: and it was actually the easiest year it was to

997
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: get it. In the last four or five years, we've

998
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: been going to the same place and it always takes

999
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: a while, you know, cars cancel on you. This year,

1000
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: but I think we went earlier than midnight, and that's

1001
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: probably why. Let's go to Eddie in Temple City, California. Eddie,

1002
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: you're on with Rich. Welcome to the show.

1003
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 9: Hi Rick, Happy New Year, Happy New Year.

1004
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 2: What can I help you with?

1005
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 14: Stray with a problem?

1006
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 8: Listen?

1007
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 14: I have an iPhone ten, which is the ex YEP.

1008
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 14: When I go to the settings, it tells me that

1009
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 14: I still have like twenty or thirty gigabytes of storage.

1010
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 2: Right okay, but.

1011
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 14: Apple keeps bugging me, sending me messages telling me that

1012
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 14: I'm running out of space. I'm asking me to pay

1013
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 14: a monthly fee, which I refuse because I don't want

1014
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 14: my pictures on the in the cloud.

1015
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: Okay, So.

1016
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 14: The main question is maybe two questions. The first one,

1017
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 14: if I switch to Samsung, would they be bothering me

1018
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 14: with the same thing no? Or what can I do

1019
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 14: with iPhones to download my pictures like every I don't know,

1020
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 14: like every month somewhere.

1021
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so I mean you could do that if

1022
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: I mean the thing I recommend for that is called

1023
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: the I expand And at this point you can really

1024
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: plug any hard drive into the iPhone. But I think

1025
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: the sand disk eye that's the letter I, X, P,

1026
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: A and D. I think they have the best software

1027
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: for downloading your photos from the phone. If you're an

1028
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime member, you can sorry you didn't want the cloud.

1029
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: So okay, that makes sense. But you know, iPhone seems

1030
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: to have this weird thing with like the storage situation

1031
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 1: where people are getting that message that you're out of storage,

1032
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: and you know, they really just try to push people

1033
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: to getting cloud storage because the way the iPhone is

1034
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: set up, you can't really access the files that are

1035
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: on your phone, so you can't really know like what's

1036
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: going on, where things are, what's taking up space, what's

1037
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: not taking up space. But the thing I would do

1038
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: before you make any changes, Eddie is go into your settings,

1039
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: go into your Apple ID. I'm assuming you have some

1040
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: sort of iCloud on your account, maybe not, but there's

1041
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: this thing called recommended for you, and there are a

1042
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: couple of ways to free up storage on there, so

1043
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 1: you can look at that under your recommendations.

1044
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 2: But if you want to see the storage that's on your.

1045
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: Phone, you can go to iPhone settings and then general

1046
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 1: and then storage.

1047
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: Where is that? I just saw it there?

1048
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: Why can't I find it about? And then it will

1049
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: tell your storage how much things are taken up. But

1050
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 1: let's see, I thought there was a storage on here.

1051
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: I just saw it, but I can't seem to find

1052
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: it at this point. Well anyway, so it's in there,

1053
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: and you know, I find the iPhone to be really

1054
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: complicated with the storage situation. And believe me, it's just

1055
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: like you know, they just they want people to go

1056
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: to the cloud because they make it confusing on purpose,

1057
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 1: it seems now I don't know that for a fact,

1058
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: but on Android, I feel like it's very much more straightforward.

1059
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: You can look at the storage on your phone, you

1060
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: can see where things are stored, you can plug in

1061
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: a drive, you can move things around. And you know, Samsung,

1062
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: they're in the hardware business mostly where if you look

1063
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: at Apple, yes they're in the hardware business, but increasingly

1064
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: services and software are a huge part of their revenue,

1065
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: and so they're looking to get people to upgrade to

1066
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: these you know, higher iCloud plans and all the other

1067
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: things they offer that are monthly subscriptions. So download the

1068
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: pictures to a flash drive. Make sure they're backed up.

1069
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 2: That's the main thing. Make sure they are backed up.

1070
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 2: Thanks for the question.

1071
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we'll talk about child and teen safety online.

Speaker 1: Bark is all about? The company that you work for.

1086
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 7: Sure, so Bark launched the safest smartphone for kids within

1087
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 7: the past year, which is incredible, and what's so incredible

1088
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 7: about it is that it has our tech baked into

1089
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 7: the smartphone. And so in twenty fifteen, Bark launched as

1090
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 7: an AI based software solution that alerted parents and caregivers

1091
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 7: to dangers happening in their children's social media, text and email.

1092
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 7: So we started with an app and then we moved

1093
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 7: to a smartphone.

1094
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: Okay, now, now when parents think about you know, like

1095
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: I get this question like how do I monitor what

1096
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: my kids are doing on their phone?

1097
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 11: Right?

1098
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 2: So what can Bark do?

1099
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: And I know with iOS and Android things are a

1100
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: little bit different, right, like what you can search and

1101
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: what you can scant? Can you explain the difference? Like

1102
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: what if a parent has if a kid has an iPhone,

1103
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 1: which of course a lot of kids want the iPhone,

1104
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: Like what can parents monitor on that?

1105
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 13: Oh?

1106
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 4: Great question?

1107
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 7: So yeah, I will say, if you're listening to this

1108
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 7: and you have not yet bought your child a smartphone,

1109
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 7: please avoid the iPhone. That's the equivalent of giving your

1110
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 7: child a Ferrari when they turn sixteen instead of a

1111
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 7: very sensible Honda or Toyota. Apple is great for adults

1112
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 7: who need privacy, but it's very cumbersome for parents to

1113
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 7: try to manage that. Said, Bark can monitor your children's

1114
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:30,959
Speaker 7: iPhones and iPads and Apple watches to an extent, whether

1115
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 7: it's text, message, email, social media, camera, roll video, all

1116
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 7: kinds of things, we can monitor it. I will say

1117
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 7: one of the most popular apps that children eventually want

1118
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 7: is Snapchat, and Bark isn't able to really monitor Snapchat

1119
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 7: on an iPhone, not because of Bark's limitations, because Snapchat

1120
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 7: has decided it doesn't want to open its API to

1121
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 7: a platform that could help keep kids safer on the platform.

1122
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 7: The good news is that with Android phones and the

1123
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 7: Bark smartphone, we can connect to and monitor Snapchat, which

1124
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 7: is just one more reason why androids and the Bark

1125
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 7: phone are a better.

1126
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 2: Option for parents.

1127
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: My wife works with teens and she was telling me

1128
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: that Snapchat is everything. I mean, text messaging is not

1129
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: even they don't even care anymore. Like I thought it

1130
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: was all about, you know, for adults, this whole blue bubble,

1131
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: green bubble I message thing. But for teens it is

1132
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: all about Snapchat. And I think it's because of I'm

1133
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: guessing the fleeting nature of the chats, which I'm laughing,

1134
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: but it's really serious. It's like they you know, they

1135
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: like it because things disappear, right.

1136
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 7: It's very serious. They do like it because things apparently disappear.

1137
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 7: But you know, one thing that we've really got to

1138
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 7: get across to everybody that uses tech is that anything

1139
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 7: you do online, even if the platform tells you it disappears,

1140
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 7: doesn't actually disappear. It lives on a server somewhere. You know,

1141
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 7: if you recycle your phone to get a new like,

1142
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 7: there's still data that lives on that phone, even if

1143
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 7: you wiped it clean. So it's important to get that

1144
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 7: message across. Also, you know, kids love Snapchat not only

1145
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 7: because it has purported disappearing messages, but it also has

1146
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 7: for my eyes only, So if a parent does go

1147
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 7: into the app to try to see what's going on,

1148
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 7: they might not be able to access certain things that

1149
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 7: the child has hidden in the my eyes only vault.

1150
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 7: Snapchat also has snap maps, which essentially gives anyone that

1151
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 7: you're connected to your real time location, which is not

1152
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 7: a problem if your child is only connected to three

1153
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 7: of their friends that they know and who are good people.

1154
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 7: It's a bigger problem if your kid has two hundred

1155
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 7: contacts and they only know twenty of them.

1156
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that's an interesting one too.

1157
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: What do you think is the most pressing kind of

1158
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: situation affecting teens and children right now when it comes

1159
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: to technology?

1160
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,479
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's ah, we need a lot more where we start.

1161
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1162
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 10: Right.

1163
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 7: Overall, it's the fact that parents and caregivers and educators

1164
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 7: and physicians and legislators currently cannot help protect kids digitally

1165
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 7: like they can in real life with seat belts and

1166
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 7: sunscreens and healthy diets, et cetera. There's a world of

1167
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 7: danger living deep in children's digital signal, and it is

1168
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 7: harming them, not at low rates, but at frequent rates.

1169
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 7: And it's the worst of the worst. Whether it's exposure

1170
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 7: to extreme violence, graphic sexual content, suicidal ideation, disordered eating,

1171
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,439
Speaker 7: you name it. Kids are encountering it at a much

1172
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 7: younger age and a much more frequent rate, and parents

1173
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 7: who care about them have no idea. So that's that's

1174
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 7: the problem, and it's not getting better.

1175
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 2: Do we have a solution or do you you know

1176
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 2: what what is a solution?

1177
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: Because parents, you know, they want and like you said,

1178
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: we do all these things for our kids, you know,

1179
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: teach them how to you know, walk and ride their

1180
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: bikes safely and all this stuff. But when it comes

1181
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: to the phones and tablets, most of the kids are

1182
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: actually more advanced than the parents they are.

1183
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 7: And that's why it's a multifaceted approach. While the Bark

1184
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 7: app and the Bark smartphone are one key component to it,

1185
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 7: right because at least we're giving you insights and helping

1186
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 7: you help your child have a healthier relationship with tech,

1187
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 7: it's not the total solution. It starts with education and awareness.

1188
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 7: As parents and caregivers, we need to know what is

1189
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 7: happening and the rate at which it's happening. We need

1190
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 7: to have multiple, candid conversations with our children much earlier

1191
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 7: than we might think, at a more frequent rate, because

1192
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 7: it's all about that relationship that you have with your

1193
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 7: child that will help you navigate these rocky waters as

1194
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 7: they grow. Up, So using tech like bark, having that

1195
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 7: conversation and those relationships, understanding you know, just the new

1196
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 7: and then advocating for change. Right now, the laws aren't

1197
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 7: set up to protect children from the harms that social

1198
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 7: media causes them, and so reaching out to your local

1199
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 7: legislator to advocate for change and reform that will hold

1200
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 7: social media companies more accountable. I mean, just over the

1201
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 7: past year, social media has generated over eleven billion dollars

1202
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 7: in revenue off of minors children under the age of eighteen.

1203
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 7: So they do not have a vested interest in minimizing

1204
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 7: the amount of time children are spending on their platforms.

1205
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: It starts with us, Wow, that's a lot of money. Okay,

1206
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: you posted something the other day about incognito mode. There's

1207
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: been Was there something that kind of bubbled up about

1208
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: it that made you post that or is it just

1209
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: in general because you know, people think that they're protected

1210
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: or private.

1211
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 2: Tell me what we need to know about incognito mode.

1212
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 7: You know, I'm always looking to cover topics that will

1213
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 7: cut through the clutter everybody scrolling and there's a you know,

1214
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 7: we've got to fight for people's eyeballs and attention, right,

1215
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 7: And I thought you know what, a lot of people

1216
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 7: don't use incognito mode or don't get it, or think

1217
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 7: it's more private than it is. So let me make

1218
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 7: a reel about this and see, you know, see.

1219
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 9: How it lands.

1220
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 7: And it landed. It got a lot of attention. And

1221
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 7: essentially children are using incognito mode because they think it's

1222
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 7: completely anonymous, when in fact, this goes back to the

1223
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 7: snapchat conversation. We just had that information lifts somewhere just

1224
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,959
Speaker 7: because your parent can't get on that computer and see

1225
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 7: your browser history, the internet service provider, the websites.

1226
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 4: And apps that you visited.

1227
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 7: You know, they know where you went, and if needed,

1228
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 7: that information can be shared with your parent or let's say,

1229
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 7: employer when you get older. So it's an important and

1230
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 7: misunderstood concept that does get abused. Certainly, it's a very

1231
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 7: cool aspect if you're trying to, you know, hide search

1232
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 7: history when you're trying to shop for a present for somebody,

1233
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 7: but it's obviously used for more nefarious purposes.

1234
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: All right, we've got to run, but I just want

1235
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: to take away for parents, like all these new gadgets

1236
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: they just got, you know, the xboxes, the PlayStations, all

1237
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 1: the different things. The kids set them up, the kids

1238
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: get them running, the kids play on them. The parents

1239
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: are in a different room. What's your advice to parents

1240
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: about the safety tools that are built into some of

1241
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: these products.

1242
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, Well cut me off at any time,

1243
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 7: but here we go, lightning round. Don't give your kid unfettered,

1244
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 7: unmonitored access to the Internet. Keep connected tech and common

1245
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 7: areas at the home, not in their bedrooms. Don't let

1246
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 7: them access it overnight. Don't let your child have access

1247
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 7: to things that you have not spent time on yourself.

1248
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 7: Make sure that you just take them, like one minute

1249
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 7: literally to google whatever your child can access, plus the

1250
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 7: term parental controls and see what free built in options

1251
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 7: you have right at your disposal that you might not

1252
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 7: even know about.

1253
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 2: And then finally, just talk to your kids.

1254
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 7: Let them know that they are loved unconditionally and they

1255
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 7: can talk to you about anything and you won't freak out.

Speaker 1: on with Rich.

1282
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 15: Hi there, Hi, I'm calling because I was contacted by

1283
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 15: a large company that's trying to get me to change

1284
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 15: my TV service, et cetera, et cetera. They said they

1285
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 15: could provide me with a landline plus all this other

1286
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 15: stuff for a specific amount of money. When I questioned

1287
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:48,479
Speaker 15: them about what they meant by landline, I even talked

1288
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 15: to their technical department, and they're talking about because I

1289
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 15: need to have the router, et cetera. And I said, well,

1290
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 15: you're talking about voice, not a landline, and they don't

1291
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 15: seem to know the difference. Am I right?

1292
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 2: Well, if it's a cable company, is it a cable company?

1293
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 15: Yeah, basically yeah, I don't.

1294
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 2: I mean unless it's like AT and T.

1295
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: They're not doing a You're you're talking about copper cable

1296
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: versus voice over IP.

1297
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 15: I don't want voice, you don't want I have a

1298
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 15: real lineline, Okay, I need it my business, So, uh.

1299
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 2: Why do you? I'm just curious, why do you.

1300
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,919
Speaker 15: Why I have to be able to fax documents over voice?

1301
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 2: Interesting?

1302
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 15: You can't fax over internet anything?

1303
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you can if you use like an

1304
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 2: e fact service.

1305
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 15: Well why should I pay for it?

1306
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: When I myself, Yeah, if you already have it and

1307
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: you've got it and you're doing it, I mean why, Yeah,

1308
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: I would say you don't need to worry about it,

1309
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: But I get it.

1310
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,959
Speaker 2: You want the cost savings of the bundle.

1311
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 15: Right, Well, I was looking at that. Yeah, but uh,

1312
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 15: when they're when they're technical depart and couldn't tell me

1313
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 15: the difference between voice and a landline. Yeah, it makes

1314
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 15: me very nervous that they don't know what they're talking

1315
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 15: about and most of them are just reading out of

1316
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 15: a manual anyway.

1317
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hope you you seem to have a little

1318
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: bit more knowledge than the average bear here, and I

1319
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: think that some of these people that are getting jobs

1320
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: and you know, they're getting trained on this, and to

1321
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: be quite honest, you know, landlines are something that is

1322
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: not it's not something that's offered or readily available at

1323
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: this point anymore. I mean, voipe has been around for

1324
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: a long time. The cable companies when they got into it,

1325
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: they would have a much cheaper price because they were

1326
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: just literally sending these calls and voice over the Internet.

1327
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: And so basically yeah, I mean well, yeah, yeah exactly,

1328
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean cell phones, look, it all works a little

1329
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: bit differently, but at this point, yes, I would say

1330
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: about probably ninety nine percent of voice traffic is running

1331
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: through the Internet and not through an action like old

1332
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: school copper cable or even with cellular Back in the day,

1333
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: it was like cell phones were running voice in a

1334
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: different way than they are now. Now it's mostly just

1335
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: voiceover IP as well. But it's gotten so good that

1336
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: we don't really know the difference. But I would agree

1337
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 1: with you. If they don't know the difference, it's not

1338
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: a good sign. But I also I can't fault them

1339
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: because I would say ninety percent of people probably don't

1340
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: need an actual Copper cable landline, but.

1341
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 2: I would I would feel more.

1342
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: You know, you're like me, You feel more comfortable when

1343
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: someone speaks your language, right, It's like, okay, you know

1344
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. And when they don't, or they're

1345
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: even fighting you on it. They're saying, no, it's a landline,

1346
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: but it's not a landline.

1347
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 2: It is, but it's not.

1348
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at some of the websites for you know,

1349
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: these cable companies, and it says reliable home phone services,

1350
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 1: but it doesn't necessarily say it is a Let's see

1351
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: if the word landline appears on their website at all.

1352
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't hope does it. Nope, it doesn't seem like

1353
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: it does anyway. So are you gonna stick with your

1354
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: your Copper cable?

1355
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 13: Oh?

1356
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 15: Yeah, my house is copper table wired and.

1357
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,919
Speaker 2: They're not trying, and the phone company is not trying

1358
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 2: to take it away from you.

1359
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 15: Oh they tried.

1360
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: I thought so, because that you know, it costs them

1361
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: money to to maintain those lines at this How are

1362
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: things in heaven? Everything else good over there?

1363
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 15: Yes, it's not blowing, the wind is not blowing, and

1364
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 15: it's a beautiful blue sky.

1365
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: Well, what more can you ask for? Hope, love the name,

Speaker 12: Hi, Rich, Happy New Year, Happy New Year.

1373
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 2: How's it going? How can I help?

1374
01:08:55,280 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 12: I bought a new twenty three phone, and when they

1375
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 12: copied everything off of the old phone, I am missing

1376
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 12: hundreds of photos. I still have the old phone and

1377
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 12: they are missing there now as well. And so I

1378
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 12: read that they are probably still there and I can

1379
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 12: hire somebody to retrieve them. But if true, I have

1380
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 12: no idea who that would be.

1381
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,600
Speaker 1: Okay, where do you store these photos? Are they just

1382
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: on like your phone, or they go to the cloud somewhere.

1383
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 14: No, they're just on the phone.

1384
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 12: Unfortunately, I am the most illiterate tech guy in the world.

1385
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: So, okay, and you're sure you're not using because on

1386
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Samsung devices they like to send these to one drive.

1387
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: Are you sure they're not sync to one drive in

1388
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 1: some way?

1389
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 9: Well, they could be.

1390
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 12: I see one drive on my phone, okay, but I

1391
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 12: never knew what it was. I didn't never even clicked

1392
01:09:59,000 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 12: on it.

1393
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Okay, well click on it, and and uh, there's a

1394
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: there's a there's a section of the Samsung phone in

1395
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: the settings that is called I'm trying to look here,

1396
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: accounts and backup. And if you look there, let's see

1397
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: backup data. So so in here it's it says where

1398
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: these things are backed up. I'm trying to find this

1399
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: while we talk live. I know it's tricky, but there's

1400
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: a couple of places. A couple of places I would look.

1401
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: Number one, I would on a website. I would do

1402
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: use Google at all, I I guess. Okay, so if

1403
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: you have a Google account, I would try going to

1404
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: photos dot Google dot com on a website on your computer,

1405
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: so on a desktop browser and see and log in

1406
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: with your Google and see if any of the photos

1407
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: made their way there. Then I would go to one

1408
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 1: drive dot com again from a computer and log in

1409
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: with either your Samsung account or your usually it's linked

1410
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: to a Microsoft account if you you have that, and

1411
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:06,560
Speaker 1: see if they're there. Otherwise, on your old phone, I

1412
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: would go into the files app and uh, there's a

1413
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,560
Speaker 1: there's like a an app on the old on the

1414
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 1: Samsung that is lets you see all the files on

1415
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: that phone. And so I would go in there and

1416
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 1: look for one a folder that says camera and see

1417
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 1: if you can find them in there. If not, I

1418
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: recommended this earlier, but there's someone called a data doctor,

1419
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: and that's who you probably want to talk to. But

1420
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:38,879
Speaker 1: the file, the folder is called my files on the Samsung.

1421
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: Look for that, and in there it says images, videos,

1422
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: audio files, documents, downloads, and it also shows the storage

1423
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: areas I was talking about, including one drive.

Speaker 2: Please follow me there. I post a lot of helpful.

1437
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 1: Information, especially on my stories, because most of this stuff,

1438
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,600
Speaker 1: I'll be quite honest, comes from you. You email me

1439
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: something and I say, huh, that's interesting, and I make

1440
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: a post about it. So, for instance, we've had a

1441
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: couple of earthquakes here in Los Angeles lately, and so

1442
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: I figured I would tell people how to make sure

1443
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,600
Speaker 1: they get the earthquake alerts on their phone and on

1444
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: Android it's built into the operating system, and on iPhone

1445
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 1: to download an app called my Shake if you want

1446
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 1: to get those. And then of course I have an

1447
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: infographic about how to disable that Facebook tracking. Got a

1448
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: fun video of the Scotty vest which holds like what

1449
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 1: is a whole twenty six pockets for gadgets, a post

1450
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: about the spectrum free Disney, and you know, of course

1451
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: intersparsed with some pictures of my family that I post from,

1452
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 1: you know, all the little adventures we take.

1453
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 13: Oh.

1454
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: One of my fun posts I did was of the

1455
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: Moto Q smartphone. I was in my garage and I

1456
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: found my smartphone that I loved from two thousand and

1457
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: six and it was like kind of Motorola's answer to

1458
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: the BlackBerry.

1459
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:47,560
Speaker 2: So that was pretty fun. Let's see, Carol is in

1460
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 2: summer Land. Carol, what's your comment?

1461
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 13: Hi, hi, yees a comment? You had just spoken with

1462
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 13: the lady regarding the landline. Yes, and my Well, first

1463
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 13: of all, I learned gosh years ago when I bundled

1464
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 13: mine with Cox back when I lived in Golita, and

1465
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 13: all of the utilities are buried at least in the

1466
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 13: area that we lived, and anytime we had heavy rain,

1467
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 13: the cable went out and therefore the phone went out

1468
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 13: because the yeah, and so I went back to a

1469
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 13: real landline. And so when I moved here to Summerland,

1470
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:33,560
Speaker 13: the same thing I got, you know, the landline. And

1471
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 13: when the back to back disasters have at the top,

1472
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 13: excuse me, the Thomas fire and then the debris flow,

1473
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,640
Speaker 13: we were just an island, you know, we had no contact,

1474
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 13: we had no electricity, uh, nothing, you know, cable everything

1475
01:14:54,560 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 13: was down, and luckily I had a landline, and and

1476
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 13: my daughter who lives up in the Bay Area, would

1477
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 13: stream on her iPad the four o'clock what do you

1478
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 13: call it, news, disaster report whatever, Yeah, and then you know,

1479
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 13: put her iPhone up to it. I would take notes,

1480
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 13: and then I go down to the center of town

1481
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 13: and tell people what was going on. Oh wow, fairly

1482
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:27,640
Speaker 13: a mile away, you.

1483
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:28,759
Speaker 2: Were, like the town caller.

1484
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 13: I was.

1485
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 9: So it's just the.

1486
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:41,480
Speaker 13: Necessity for especially here in California, for a real landline.

1487
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 13: And most people think that they have a landline when

1488
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 13: they actually have cable.

1489
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it's coming from your cable company, most of

1490
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: the time it is. It is voiceover IP. But you know,

1491
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,759
Speaker 1: with that said, you know, these these traditional phone companies

1492
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: do not want the landlines because they're expensive and.

1493
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 13: So exactly, and they've had to come out here several

1494
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 13: times to repair right.

1495
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1496
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: Well, I agree it is the most reliable form of communication.

1497
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: But I will say, you know, and I tweeted about

1498
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: this the other day. You know, Apple has that satellite

1499
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 1: built into the iPhone and right now you can use

1500
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: it to call their call center, which is really great.

1501
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: If there's an emergency and you need help, and even

1502
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,600
Speaker 1: in a natural disaster, you will still be able to

1503
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: get that connection to the satellite because it's going from

1504
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: your iPhone literally to outer space. But I said, it

1505
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: would be kind of neat if Apple, and I'm sure

1506
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: they'll do this at some point, is they'll let you

1507
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: go from your phone to another iPhone via satellite to

1508
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 1: message someone else. Because in a real, true emergency, when

1509
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, things really get bad and if the infrastructure

1510
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 1: is you know, taking a hit, you know, you would

1511
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: not be able to let's say you lived in California,

1512
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, whatever, you would find it really hard to

1513
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: get a message out to someone somewhere else or check

1514
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: on someone because there's no real way to do that. Now.

1515
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: I think with the Internet, you know, there's you know,

1516
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: with Facebook doing the crisis check in all this stuff.

1517
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 1: We are getting better, but it's still it's one of

1518
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: those things where like you just kind of don't want

1519
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 1: to think about it too much because it is a

1520
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: concern and it is like we're not really sure.

1521
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 2: But anyway, thanks for the call, Carol in Summerlin. Today

1522
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 2: let's go. We're kind of going.

1526

Speaker 9: But we played a little game. I run it. I

1547
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Come on, you know that Disney's always advertising. They're they're

1548
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: reaching every I see a Disney ad.

1549
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 2: Once a day.

1550
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, but is is the words that we're saying relaying

1551
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 9: back to a database saying, hey, she just asks for

1552
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 9: a pair of sow from so and so. Hey this

1553
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 9: guy just asked for Southwest Airlines the cheapest ticket, right,

1554
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 9: Hey that I'm a fair first.

1555
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 2: Yep.

1556
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 9: My conspiracy thing is are they they Well?

1557
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 2: I know, I know it seems that way.

1558
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 1: And it's funny you say that because when I told

1559
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 1: my wife about the link history. Because I'll be quite honest,

1560
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: I got I got a phone call from Facebook last

1561
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 1: night about my post because they were unhappy with it.

1562
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: They were like, hey, what's your deal? What do you

1563
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: have against this? Why are you posting about this? And

1564
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: you know, we literally like, I this is what these

1565
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 1: big companies do, and this is why I am on

1566
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 1: your side. I had literally, at six o'clock last night,

1567
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: had to speak with someone from Facebook corporate. They called

1568
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: my cell phone to say, dude, like, tell me about

1569
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: this post.

1570
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 14: What do you you know?

1571
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 2: What do you make of this feature?

1572
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: And I was literally fighting with them, saying, no, here's

1573
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: how I see it, here's why I'm going to tell

1574
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 1: people about it, and yes, I'm going to talk about

1575
01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,560
Speaker 1: in the radio tomorrow. So this is the kind of

1576
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:01,679
Speaker 1: stuff that go in the background that I don't normally

1577
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: bring up, but you know, I just figured I would.

1578
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 2: But it's funny.

1579
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: When I got off the phone with my you know,

1580
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: my wife was on the couch and she goes, ah,

1581
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about the link history, sho, I'm concerned

1582
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 1: about Facebook listening to my conversations. And I said, no, no, no,

1583
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 1: let's not get into that because we know that's not

1584
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 1: really happening if you search online and look, people have

1585
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: been debating this since the beginning of mankind with the smartphone.

1586
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: Is Facebook and Instagram listening to your conversations? They one

1587
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent say they do not.

1588
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:29,600
Speaker 2: And I get it.

1589
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: We have all had the experience where you're at a party,

1590
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: you talk to someone about the mattress they just purchased,

1591
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, you see the ad for

1592
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 1: that mattress on your Facebook account. I get it, it happens,

1593
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: but they say they're not listening. It's other indicators that

1594
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 1: they're using. And I'll just give you one example. Someone

1595
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: shops for a mattress your best friend. They search for

1596
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 1: it on their phone, and then you go and hang

1597
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: out with them. Facebook may see that they search for

1598
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: that in some of their you know whatever. However, they

1599
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,759
Speaker 1: track and they say, Okay, well maybe this person mentioned

1600
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: this mattress too rich because they just bought it, and

1601
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:06,640
Speaker 1: so we're going to show them an ad for that

1602
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: just to remind them.

1603
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 2: That's just one idea of how this might work.

1604
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: People have done many, many tests of you know, saying

1605
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: something in a closed room with the phone nearby, to

1606
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,839
Speaker 1: see if those ads show up. Sometimes they do, sometimes

1607
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: they don't. It's not a guarantee, but yes, we have

1608
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: all casually observed this phenomenon.

1609
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 2: Believe me, I have. Everyone has.

1610
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see. I guess we'll just stick on the privacy.

1611
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: Tom is in Riverside.

1612
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:42,759
Speaker 10: Tom, you got a question, oh, Rich, Yeah, I wanted

1613
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 10: to ask about Apple seventeen. I got a fourteen pro

1614
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 10: right now and I like it, okay, but I you know,

1615
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,560
Speaker 10: I had it two years now. One to see is

1616
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 10: the seventeen next? Or what's coming up for Apple?

1617
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 2: For I for the model number or the software?

1618
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 10: Now the phone, the phone, the phone?

1619
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 2: Okay, and what's the question? Just what's coming up?

1620
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 13: Well?

1621
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, is it seventeen?

1622
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:14,719
Speaker 10: Is the next Apple?

1623
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 9: Or is it?

1624
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 10: I mean it's on fifteen right now? Is it going

1625
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:19,839
Speaker 10: to be sixteen or is it going to be seventeen

1626
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 10: or what is it going to be?

1627
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: Well right now, only Apple knows, but uh, it's I'm

1628
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 1: guessing it's going to be sixteen because Apple, I don't

1629
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: did they skip a number in the I gotta think

1630
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: about that, five, six, seven, eight nine. Then they went

1631
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 1: X eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. Yeah, I don't think

1632
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: they've skipped. I know, I know Samsung skipped. They went

1633
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: from the uh like the I think it was like

1634
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: the ten to the twenty, so but no, Apple has

1635
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: kept them in order.

1636
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 3: But what is that?

1637
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 2: Is that all you need to know?

1638
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 13: Uh?

1639
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, well yeah, the whether it's gona come up? And

1640
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,719
Speaker 10: then I wanted to ask a couple of questions about

1641
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 10: AI and a couple questions.

1642
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:02,680
Speaker 1: Tom, how much time do you think I have on

1643
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: this show? I wish I wish I had more. Believe me,

1644
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,679
Speaker 1: it's I feel like they're always pushing me to break

1645
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: they're like, you gotta go, you gotta go. But yes,

1646
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: here's my advice. I know that's what I feel like.

1647
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Look AI, all this stuff, the

1648
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: privacy stuff, this is the stuff I talk about every week,

1649
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: day and day out on the show. And believe me,

1650
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,560
Speaker 1: I understand it's a lot. I understand. You know this

1651
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: show is for the average person. It's not even for techies,

1652
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: and it's a lot to kind of manage. So believe me,

1653
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: keep listening. I will talk about this stuff. I will

1654
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: address again in the beginning of the show.

1655
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 2: Here's what I say.

1656
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: This is a show where I talk about the tech

1657
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: stuff I think you should know about, and that's really

1658
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: what it's all about. There's a ton of stuff that

1659
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: I come across every single week. I try to direct

1660
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: it to the stuff that I think is the most important,

1661
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: and that's that's really what it comes down to.

1662
01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 2: All Right.

1663
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: You can find me on the website rich on tech,

1664
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: dot TV, social media at rich on Tech. Coming up,

1665
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: we'll talk the new keyboard for the iPhone, Wow, and

1666
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,560
Speaker 1: the new app from Microsoft that you might want to

1667
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: install on your phone because it gives you free access

1668
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 1: to the best chat GPT you are listening to Rich

1669
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 1: on tech. Let's see, we got an email from Marcy.

1670
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 1: Marcy says, hey, Rich, just an FYI anyone with a

1671
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 1: copper landline and wishes to keep it for emergency needs, earthquake,

1672
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:32,520
Speaker 1: power outage.

1673
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 2: When voipe would go down.

1674
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 1: Just know that if you switch to a cable voipeline,

1675
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: your copper line will be cut and you can never

1676
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: get it back. Happen to me now. I keep my

1677
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: Internet and router on a battery backup. Love your show,

1678
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 1: Thanks for your expertise, Marcy. Yeah, Marcy, Like I said,

1679
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: these companies they will rip out these lines. I think

1680
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: they take the copper cable and they take it directly

1681
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 1: to the scrapshop and like cash it in because it's

1682
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: so valuable. I literally think the copper cable is worth

1683
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 1: more than the monthly fee.

1684
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 2: All right.

1685
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: The iPhone is getting a new physical keyboard, not from Apple,

1686
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 1: but from a new company called Clicks Technology.

1687
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 2: The device is called Clicks.

1688
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 1: It's a physical keyboard accessory for the iPhone, provides a

1689
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 1: techtile typing experience, and it says you get twice the

1690
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: screen real estate because there's no keyboard on your screen

1691
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 1: like the on screen keyboard. It attaches to your phone

1692
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: directly using lightning or USBC. It has no battery. It

1693
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: uses the phone for power and data transfer. You can

1694
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 1: also use shortcut keys, has a backlight for typing in

1695
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: low conditions. And it was created by a team of

1696
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: mobile experts, including the guy behind the website that's very

1697
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 1: popular called Crackberry, and YouTube tech reviewer mister Mobile, Michael Fisher.

1698
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 1: It can be pre ordered now. It's one hundred and

1699
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: thirty nine dollars. It ships February first. It's got a

1700
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 1: whole bunch of fun color. It's going to be on

1701
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: display at CS in January, which is next week, so

1702
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:07,440
Speaker 1: I will see it, and I find that very fascinating.

1703
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: There was a keyboard made or backed by Ryan Seacrest

1704
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: many many years ago called Typo Typo, and it was

1705
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 1: that CS. I found my old picture from the iPhone

1706
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: five it connected to that. It's very similar to what

1707
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: we have now. So if you still want that keyboard

1708
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: on your iPhone, you're gonna have an option. And if

1709
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: you want the best of chat GBT on your iPhone

1710
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 1: or Android, there's a web an app that you might

1711
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: want to download. It's called Microsoft Copilot. This is. It's

1712
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 1: basically an AI chatbot. Lets you do all kinds of

1713
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:43,560
Speaker 1: stuff AI conversations. It can draft messages and emails, it

1714
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 1: can draw pictures. The big thing about this is that

1715
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: it includes GPT four for free. If you're on chat GBT,

1716
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: you got to pay twenty bucks for access to that,

1717
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 1: so you basically get it for free. But this also

1718
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: includes bing so it's got access to the web. So

1719
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 1: you might have heard me talk about bing ai in

1720
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 1: the past. Microsoft is rebranding bing ai to what's called Copilot,

1721
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: and so if you want to download this, it's a

1722
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 1: little tricky to find it in the app stores because

1723
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 1: you search Copilot, there's some other things that come up.

1724
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 1: So I put the direct links on my wiki for

1725
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 1: the show Rich on tech dot tv slash wiki. And finally,

1726
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,559
Speaker 1: Google is eliminating third party cookies from Chrome. You might

1727
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: hear about this. The advertising industry does not like this.

1728
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 1: Third party cookies are those cookies that travel from site

1729
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 1: to site. When you go to one website, they tell

1730
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 1: another website that you were just there. So let's say

1731
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 1: you go to a sneaker website and then you go

1732
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: to a newspaper website and you see an ad for

1733
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 1: that sneaker that you just looked at. That's a third

1734
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 1: party cookie. Google says they're getting rid of these. They're

1735
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 1: eliminating them by the end of twenty twenty four, and

1736
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:57,719
Speaker 1: this is throwing the whole tech advertising world into upheaval,

1737
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 1: but of course it's better for our privacy. Coming up next,

1738
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to Chris Hoffman from the Windows

1739
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: Intelligence Newsletter.

1740
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 2: He's going to share some Windows tips and tricks with us.

1741
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 2: You are listening to rich on Tech.

1742
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

1743
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. Very excited for my next guest.

1744
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 1: I subscribe to his newsletter all of one issue, and

1745
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: I invited him on the show because it was so good.

1746
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:37,600
Speaker 1: Chris Hoffman writes the Windows Intelligence Newsletter, welcome.

1747
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 2: To the show.

1748
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me.

1749
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 1: So the websites I know you're gonna want it is

1750
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 1: the Intelligence dot Com slash Windows. So the way the

1751
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:51,560
Speaker 1: newsletter is written is it's for anyone to understand. So

1752
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like this show where it is

1753
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 1: very approachable and I appreciate that about what you're doing.

1754
01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 2: Chris, Thank you absolutely.

1755
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about First off, the number one

1756
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 1: question I get, and this one, actually I think gets

1757
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 1: kind of complicated because you addressed it in a recent newsletter.

1758
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: But the question I get all the time, can you

1759
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 1: still upgrade to Windows eleven for free?

1760
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 16: So the easy answer is yes. The simple answer is yes.

1761
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 16: We can get into the weeds in a second, but

1762
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 16: the simple answer is if Window If Microsoft says Windows

1763
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 16: eleven is compatible with your computer, if you have Windows ten,

1764
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 16: you can just open the settings up on your Windows

1765
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:31,759
Speaker 16: ten PC. You can look at Windows Update in settings

1766
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 16: and it will tell you right there, you know if

1767
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 16: it's if it's available, it'll say yes, you can upgrade

1768
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 16: to Windows eleven now, and you can click right there

1769
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 16: and it's good and it's free, and you know you're

1770
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:44,760
Speaker 16: done now. It may say it's not compatible. Now you

1771
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 16: might assume that means it's not compatible, because that's the

1772
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:49,680
Speaker 16: definition of the word. But actually, really you really get

1773
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 16: into the weeds here. There are ways to kind of

1774
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 16: get around that, depending on your PC's hardware. It really

1775
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 16: gets into kind of the weeds here. Of there's kind

1776
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:03,679
Speaker 16: of three tiers of computer. One is really compatible within

1777
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 16: Windows eleven. One can't run Windows eleven at all, and

1778
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 16: in the middle there's this gray zone of these Windows

1779
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 16: ten PCs that they technically can run Windows eleven if

1780
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 16: you go through a little bit of a backdoor, but

1781
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 16: Microsoft says Microsoft doesn't want to offer them the upgrades.

1782
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,720
Speaker 16: So you know, for the average person, I would say,

1783
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 16: just go to Windows Update and if it says it

1784
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 16: is not compatible, just don't worry about it, because you know,

1785
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 16: your Windows Time PC is still getting free security updates

1786
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:31,160
Speaker 16: until October twenty twenty five. That's nearly two years, right,

1787
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 16: So that's not bad, and your compare will work fine.

1788
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 16: But if you're a geek like me, you know, if

1789
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:37,439
Speaker 16: you want to get into this stuff, you can, and

1790
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:40,759
Speaker 16: you can look into it. There's a tool called rufous

1791
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 16: that I just recommended, and it has it will let

1792
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 16: you create a Windows eleven installer that has a bit

1793
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 16: of a bypass, and it's little bypass requirements, like you know,

1794
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 16: we get into the weeds here, right TPM two point

1795
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:58,879
Speaker 16: zero with TPM one point two instead, and but it ultimately,

1796
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 16: you know, there are tools you can look at it.

1797
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:02,680
Speaker 16: You can see why is your computer not compatible? And

1798
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 16: if you can kind of look into it, and it

1799
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 16: actually isn't too hard to install, you know, Windows level

1800
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 16: with RUFUS if you want. But for the average person,

1801
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 16: you know, don't worry about it. But if you are

1802
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:14,960
Speaker 16: a geek like you can, you know, dig into this

1803
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 16: and some sometimes you'd be surprised, like you may be

1804
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 16: able to just change once any of your computers like

1805
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:24,360
Speaker 16: bios or u UE five firmware. Because strangely enough, like

1806
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 16: there are computers that have TPM two point out but

1807
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 16: they were shipped with it disabled and you actually have

1808
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 16: to go into bias and enable it and then it

1809
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 16: can stall Windows leven. So it's really complicated upgrade processes

1810
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 16: time around. But the good news is that Windows ten

1811
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:37,720
Speaker 16: is still supported for a nearly two more years.

1812
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so so I think, I think for the average user.

1813
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, the website is r U f

1814
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 1: U S dot I E.

1815
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 2: But that's it. That's only if you're advanced. Don't don't

1816
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:46,600
Speaker 2: go to that.

1817
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 1: If you're not, you know, if you don't know your

1818
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 1: way around BIOS and all that stuff and bootable USB

1819
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:53,479
Speaker 1: drives and you know, don't you know, don't mess with

1820
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 1: your computer if you don't know that stuff. But here's

1821
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: my question for you, Chris, if a person's running Windows ten,

1822
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:01,760
Speaker 1: do they need to upgrade to eleven because obviously they're

1823
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 1: probably getting that push notification on their system, Oh update Update,

1824
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,000
Speaker 1: but you're saying it's you still have two years to

1825
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:08,240
Speaker 1: make this decision, right.

1826
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 16: Yeah, so the upgrade will still be free up until

1827
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:15,880
Speaker 16: you know, I mean, unless Microsoft changes his mind, which

1828
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 16: I doubt, the upgrade will still be free, you know,

1829
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,840
Speaker 16: in October twenty twenty five, nearly two years from now.

1830
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 16: So if you're not, if you don't upgrade, there's don't upgrade.

1831
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 16: You can click the button to upgrade in like a

1832
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:27,719
Speaker 16: year for now and sixteen months from now, so that'll

1833
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:29,680
Speaker 16: that'll be that's free now, and that'll be free then

1834
01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:31,799
Speaker 16: if it's available, so there's no rush to upgrade.

1835
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 2: Is there a benefit to upgrading?

1836
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 13: You know?

1837
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, you know, you know Windows eleven is good.

1838
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 16: There's some things, you know, the taskbar, you can't move

1839
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 16: the taskbar to other edges of your screen. Then there's

1840
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 16: some stuff that's different, not naturally better, but different. And

1841
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 16: one of the big things that Microsoft is pushing on

1842
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 16: now is AI and AIPCS and oh you get copilot

1843
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:57,400
Speaker 16: Windows level. Well, actually, Microsoft just changed their minds and

1844
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 16: they're actually going to be delivering Copilot to Windows ten.

1845
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 16: So if you have Windows ten and you're really interested

1846
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 16: in this copilot thing, like in a few months, it's

1847
01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:05,920
Speaker 16: just going to be in your taskbar, just like Windows level.

1848
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 2: Ah, that's interesting.

1849
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:09,640
Speaker 16: And if you're thinking, oh no, I don't want down

1850
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 16: on my PC, don't worry.

1851
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:11,320
Speaker 4: You can turn it off.

1852
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 16: But but some of these, like you know, the big

1853
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 16: premier features coming to Windows ten anyway, so you know,

1854
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 16: if you're not passionate about Windows eleven, your computer's fine,

1855
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 16: then great, you know, keep using Windows ten until October

1856
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 16: twenty twenty five.

1857
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 1: Okay, the other question I have, Uh, there's a new

1858
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 1: Outlook coming soon for Windows computers.

1859
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,559
Speaker 2: People are getting messages about that and what we need

1860
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 2: to know about that.

1861
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1862
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 16: So so this is such a confusing topic because you know,

1863
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:41,640
Speaker 16: basically Microsoft has a ton of different email clients and services, right,

1864
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:43,920
Speaker 16: so you know, I'll just rattle some off, right. So

1865
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 16: we have you know, Microsoft Outlook, which is you know,

1866
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 16: the traditional desktop email Windows in Mac and so many

1867
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 16: businesses use it. And now there's something called I'll Look

1868
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 16: on the web, and that used to be called I'll

1869
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 16: look Web Access and that's actually just kind of the

1870
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 16: desktop application on the web. But then you know, you

1871
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 16: have a Luk dot com, which actually isn't you know,

1872
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:02,680
Speaker 16: there isn't microloft that look, that's just what you know,

1873
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 16: it was hotmail and out outload dot com. And then

1874
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:07,719
Speaker 16: there's an Outlook mobile app on phones and it's actually

1875
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 16: a whole different thing Microsoft by the startup in twenty fourteen.

1876
01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:12,519
Speaker 16: And then there's also a mail app on Windows and

1877
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 16: that just comes on all Windows PCs for free, and

1878
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 16: that's different from you know, mic shot Outlook, and it's

1879
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 16: all you know, it's all a mess, it's all confusing.

1880
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 16: There are too many outlooks, there are too many email

1881
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 16: products there, and then that's that's one big problem mic

1882
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,760
Speaker 16: Slot has. Ther Microsoft problem mic Slot has is that

1883
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:28,760
Speaker 16: they don't really like the old Outlook. They don't like

1884
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 16: the old business e outlook. It's this ancient kind of

1885
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 16: you know, I know a lot of people have it,

1886
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 16: so I shouldn't. It's this old code base, it's this

1887
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:39,600
Speaker 16: complicated program that is just a deptop program has all

1888
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:42,080
Speaker 16: these features. So Microsoft, long term we like to get

1889
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 16: rid of that. They want to have something more modern

1890
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 16: that is the same on every platform and everything. So

1891
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:50,040
Speaker 16: there's something called the New Outlook and this is going

1892
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 16: to be the modern application that kind of brings everything together.

1893
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:54,720
Speaker 16: So it's already out there in preview form and for

1894
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 16: now it's really just replacing the Mail app on Windows

1895
01:34:58,360 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 16: and it's you know, pretty similar to the Mail up

1896
01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 16: and know this is pretty simple. And actually, this is

1897
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 16: another kind of weird confusing thing is the actually the

1898
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 16: New Outlook is based on the the code for outlook

1899
01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:10,599
Speaker 16: dot com, like the web web interface for outlet dot com.

1900
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:12,960
Speaker 4: But it's it's a desktop.

1901
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 16: Application and it can also kind of to other email

1902
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 16: services because as you know, we may know, like modern

1903
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:22,280
Speaker 16: desktop applications are becoming kind of very web based in general.

1904
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 16: So so Microsoft wants to kind of bring everything together.

1905
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 16: And you know, if you're using mail on the Mail

1906
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:29,240
Speaker 16: app on Windows, you'll eventually be moved to, you know,

1907
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:31,640
Speaker 16: the New Outlook. But the big thing is is that

1908
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:34,360
Speaker 16: long term, Microsoft would actually love to like to move

1909
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 16: everyone to the New New Outlook, even people using the

1910
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 16: classic traditional desktop application Outlook you know, in business, and

1911
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 16: that that's going to be a while though, because like

1912
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 16: the the there's so many ad ins, there's so many

1913
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 16: weird feature, weird features, so many you know, even in

1914
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 16: Word or Excel. There's so many options that have built

1915
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 16: up in these applications for you know, twenty years, and

1916
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:56,720
Speaker 16: it's going to take a while from Microsoft to bring

1917
01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:58,639
Speaker 16: the new Ella to a point where Microsoft can push

1918
01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 16: it on you know, businesses. But Microsoft, you know, I

1919
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 16: spoke to people from Microsoft and they absolutely want to

1920
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 16: do that. So the old Outlook is on its way out.

1921
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 16: How many years it will be, I don't know. It

1922
01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 16: might be quite a few years, so I wouldn't panic,

1923
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 16: but I wouldn't panic if you love the old outlook.

1924
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:15,600
Speaker 16: But you know, eventually Microsoft just bring everything into this

1925
01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 16: new kind of simplified, modern web based kind of Outlook application,

1926
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:21,639
Speaker 16: including the Classic Outlook.

1927
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 1: Okay, we're chatting with Chris Hoffman from the Windows Intelligence newsletter.

1928
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 1: Give me a popular tip or trick for Windows that

1929
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you shared in one of your newsletters

1930
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:34,640
Speaker 1: and people seem to like it.

1931
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:35,720
Speaker 2: What do we need to know?

1932
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:41,519
Speaker 16: You know, I really love and recommend Microsoft Power Toys

1933
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 16: to people. It's this free package of utilities provided by

1934
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,280
Speaker 16: Microsoft themselves, is packed with all kinds of cool stuff

1935
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,720
Speaker 16: that you can change any key on your keyboard to

1936
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:51,759
Speaker 16: functions any other key, or you can make any window

1937
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 16: always on top of other windows, or you can battery

1938
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:55,640
Speaker 16: name a ton of files at once and do all

1939
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 16: kind of cool things like that. And it's the kind

1940
01:36:57,479 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 16: of stuff that you would normally have to hunt down,

1941
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:01,120
Speaker 16: like twenty different prouns for online. You have to do

1942
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 16: your research, like what's the best way program for this?

1943
01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:03,600
Speaker 13: And that.

1944
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 16: It's twenty things and it takes forever, right, But this

1945
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 16: is just this big prepackage of tools provided by Microsoft themselves.

1946
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 16: You know, they're all fresh, they're modern, they're they don't

1947
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 16: have ads, they don't have other drunks. So I would

1948
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,240
Speaker 16: really go look for microshoft Power Toys and you can

1949
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,840
Speaker 16: find it in the Microsoft Store app on Windows ten

1950
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:24,360
Speaker 16: or Windows eleven, Windows ten, definitely Windows eleven, and you know,

1951
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 16: or you can download it from the web.

1952
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:28,760
Speaker 4: But I really love power Toys. I recommend it to everyone.

1953
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at all the little things you can do.

1954
01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:33,120
Speaker 1: There's like all these like you can keep your computer awake,

1955
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 1: you can and there's just so many like fun little tweaks.

1956
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 2: Why don't they just build this stuff into into Windows?

1957
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:39,600
Speaker 9: Is it?

1958
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 2: It kind of reminds me of I don't know if

1959
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 2: you use Samsung, but they have this thing.

1960
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,679
Speaker 1: Called like what is it good luck or something where

1961
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, they have all these like extra tools

1962
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 1: that are like for power users.

1963
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:49,639
Speaker 2: I guess. I guess it's power toys.

1964
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly, And there was power toys back in the

1965
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 16: Windows XP days two, which I think is where the

1966
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 16: name comes from. But why isn't the Windows, I mean,

1967
01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 16: answer a good question. You know, the fact that it's

1968
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:01,160
Speaker 16: not in Windows means that microshoft kind of keep it updated,

1969
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 16: updating it separately, and I think in general Microsoft would

1970
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,639
Speaker 16: like to kind of have you know, Windows have fewer

1971
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:08,519
Speaker 16: things than they can kind of be updated separately more

1972
01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 16: through the store anyway, So this is plus this way.

1973
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 16: You know, I bet there's all kinds of support reasons,

1974
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 16: like if it's including Windows, and if it's the business

1975
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 16: has a support contract, it's included component and microshift that

1976
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 16: support it on a business level, and you know it's

1977
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:22,679
Speaker 16: just you know, it's just a free package of stuff

1978
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 16: that Microsoft provides and they don't really you know, it works, but.

1979
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 1: There's no guarantees like yeah, you're at you're running these

1980
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:31,799
Speaker 1: at your own risk. I guess all right, Chrish Hoffman,

1981
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:33,599
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave it there. Thanks so much for joining

Speaker 1: having ads on January twenty ninth. Amazon Prime Video is

1998
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,639
Speaker 1: included with your Prime membership. There will be no cost

1999
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:40,439
Speaker 1: change to Prime memberships. You don't need to do anything special,

2000
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,880
Speaker 1: but you will have ads starting January twenty ninth, so

2001
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 1: reads the email from Amazon. If you don't want ads

2002
01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 1: on your Amazon Prime videos and movies, you can pay

2003
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: an extra three dollars a month to go back to

2004
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: what you already had for free. See that three dollars

2005
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 1: to get back to what's had Visio. This is just

2006
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,639
Speaker 1: for my California listeners. Three million dollars in a settlement

2007
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 1: over misleading alleged misleading refresh rate claims. This is from

2008
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:16,559
Speaker 1: a twenty eighteen class action lawsuit. Visio sether TVs had

2009
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:20,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty to two hundred and forty effective

2010
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 1: hurts effective refresh rates and someone said there were really

2011
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:26,760
Speaker 1: only sixty, but software was making them one hundred and

2012
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:29,479
Speaker 1: twenty or two forty. So if you're a California resident,

2013
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 1: you purchase a Visio TV after April thirtieth, twenty fourteen,

2014
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 1: you can get I think it's up to fifty bucks.

2015
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 1: But you do have to put a claim in. You

2016
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,759
Speaker 1: do have to show proof of purchase like a receipt

2017
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:43,960
Speaker 1: or a serial number. You have until March thirtieth to

2018
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 1: do that again. Visio three million bucks for California consumers

2019
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:53,759
Speaker 1: over alleged misleading refresh rate claims. You know, higher refresh

2020
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 1: rates sell TVs because it sounds better. And Fitness Plus

2021
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 1: from Apple, you know this is our fitness offering. They've

2022
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 1: got a couple of new things for twenty twenty four,

2023
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: a new sound meditation theme called Sound featuring soothing tones

2024
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:13,400
Speaker 1: and rhythms. They've got some new workout programs, including Yoga

2025
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 1: for Golfers, Yoga Strength and Core for Golfers, and Time

2026
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 1: to Walk.

2027
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 2: This is fun. If you haven't tried this, try it.

2028
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 1: Time to Walk is basically they interview like a celebrity

2029
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 1: for a walking workout, like they walk with the celebrity,

2030
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 1: but for the first time. You can get this for

2031
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 1: free through Apple Podcasts. So if you want to listen

2032
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:37,560
Speaker 1: to you some Time to Walk episodes, they're going to

2033
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:40,000
Speaker 1: be for free on Apple Podcasts. It's kind of nice.

2034
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 1: It makes the walk go by. I personally listen to

2035
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:44,880
Speaker 1: this show, but you know that's just me.

2036
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 14: And Katie No.

2037
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:54,280
Speaker 1: Topolists writing for Business Insider says the ideal speed for

2038
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 1: listening to podcasts and.

2039
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:59,240
Speaker 2: Audiobooks is one point two x.

2040
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:02,320
Speaker 1: Listening at one point two speed is fast enough to

2041
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:04,400
Speaker 1: save time, but not so fast that you lose track

2042
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: of the content. You listen to audiobooks faster, and anything

2043
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 1: faster than one point two is too just too fast.

2044
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:15,439
Speaker 1: She says, really you got to pay attention really close.

2045
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,120
Speaker 1: But if you're doing one point two, it's just fast

2046
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 1: enough where you can get through the content faster, but

2047
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: you can still understand it. And I tried this last

2048
01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:25,799
Speaker 1: night with my own show, and I talked pretty fast already.

2049
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm working on that, by the way, but one point

2050
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 1: two X I was easily able to understand what I

2051
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: was saying. So next time you see that little indicator

2052
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 1: on your YouTube or your podcast app, try one point

2053
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 1: two X see what happens. And a thirteen year old

2054
01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 1: boy first to beat Tetris. First human, Willis Gibson, thirteen

2055
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:49,360
Speaker 1: year old from Oklahoma, got so far on the original

2056
01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 1: Nintendo game of Tetris that the game froze. This is

2057
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 1: known as reaching the kill screen. Previously only artificial intelligence

2058
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,400
Speaker 1: could do this. He got through one hundred and fifty

2059
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 1: seven levels of Tetris using a new rolling technique.

2060
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 2: I love me some Tetris feedback.

2061
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:11,559
Speaker 1: Now, Charles says. I listen every weekend via iHeart from Rochester,

2062
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:14,679
Speaker 1: New York. Enjoy it very much. Thank you Charles for listening.

2063
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,200
Speaker 1: Debbie says, Happy New Year. I saw your post regarding

2064
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 1: Google Maps. We just got back from England.

2065
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:21,879
Speaker 2: And Ireland.

2066
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:26,680
Speaker 1: I downloaded maps of London and basically we could not

2067
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:28,920
Speaker 1: use walking directions offline.

2068
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:30,640
Speaker 2: I did not know that.

2069
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:35,600
Speaker 1: Apparently it says transit, bicycling or walking directions are unavailable

2070
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 1: offline on Google Maps, so good to know if you're

2071
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 1: trying to save your data on an international trip iPhone.

2072
01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:45,400
Speaker 1: Apple Maps just added offline maps so you can try that.

2073
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 1: I believe walking directions will work, and I actually kind

2074
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 1: of prefer the walking directions on Apple Maps for international maps.

2075
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 1: They work really, really well if you have an Apple Watch.

2076
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of fun.

2077
01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 2: Tony from New Jersey says rich I just saw you

2078
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,640
Speaker 2: on New York's Picks eleven. I didn't know you're on there.

2079
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 2: I love it.

2080
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for all the tech info you give us. Have

2081
01:44:02,840 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 1: a happy and healthy New Year to you and your family.

2082
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Tony from New Jersey The Taylor harm Ham part of

2083
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 1: the state. Taylor Ham loved it as a kid, can't

2084
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: really have it.

2085
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:14,760
Speaker 2: As much as an adult. You know the whole like,

2086
01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 2: you know, just just tougher to have that stuff.

2087
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:21,440
Speaker 1: Wes says, well done. For the first year, every episode

2088
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:23,840
Speaker 1: has something helpful. Thank you for the time you put

2089
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:25,679
Speaker 1: into the show. Each and every week.

2090
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 2: Wes.

2091
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, Wes. Good mix to the feedback. If you

2092
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:31,800
Speaker 1: want to submit something for the show, just go to

2093
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 1: the website. It is rich on tech dot tv and

2094
01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 1: there is a contact button. Oh, here we go, Michael.

2095
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:43,880
Speaker 1: Michael said, I'm sure someone has told you by now

2096
01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:45,080
Speaker 1: there's no iPhone nine.

2097
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:54,160
Speaker 2: Uh, here we go. Let's see Michael. Oh, Michael's not

2098
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:54,679
Speaker 2: being nice.

2099
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:57,560
Speaker 1: Michael says, I give a lot of inaccurate answers, a

2100
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 1: lot in bold. I don't say that to be a jerk,

2101
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 1: but seriously, a lot. Hope this lands as intended. And Michael,

2102
01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 1: if you want to host the show, be my guest.

2103
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:11,080
Speaker 1: You can come over here and answer the questions anytime

2104
01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:13,920
Speaker 1: you want. You know, people answer questions. I'm answering these

2105
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:16,600
Speaker 1: things on the fly using the knowledge that is in

2106
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 1: my brain. And of course I know there's no iPhone

2107
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:21,640
Speaker 1: nine if I go back and think about it, but

2108
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:24,640
Speaker 1: on the fly, as I'm counting, okay, iPhone eight. You're right,

2109
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: they skipped iPhone nine. They went directly to iPhone ten.

2110
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 1: So if that's enough to never listen to this show

2111
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 1: again for you, Michael, but clearly you're listening, so I

2112
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: guess you like something about it, right, But he wants

2113
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:38,920
Speaker 1: me to change my tagline. I think he says, taking

2114
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: your tech questions implies you're an expert. I describe you

2115
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:44,200
Speaker 1: as an enthusiast, but not an expert. And Michael, you

2116
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:47,679
Speaker 1: happened upon something that is very important. I have never

2117
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:50,599
Speaker 1: ever called myself an expert. I am not a tech expert.

2118
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 1: In fact, I am a tech enthusiast. And that's what

2119
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:56,920
Speaker 1: I think ninety nine percent of people want. Because an

2120
01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:00,320
Speaker 1: expert talks an expert terms. I talk in terms that

2121
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 1: every single person can understand, and that is the entire

2122
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:07,400
Speaker 1: point of this show. And so I'm not an expert.

2123
01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 1: People call me an expert in tech. I don't correct them,

2124
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:12,240
Speaker 1: but I never call myself a tech expert. That's just

2125
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:16,679
Speaker 1: the way it is. All right, Well, thank you Michael

2126
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: for the feedback. It's you know, it's been fifty fifty

2127
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:22,640
Speaker 1: two shows. This is fifty three, so and I take

2128
01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 1: the good and the bad.

2129
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:24,680
Speaker 2: Believe me, you know I have.

2130
01:46:25,200 --> 01:46:28,759
Speaker 1: I don't ever pretend to know everything about this stuff.

2131
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: And quite honestly, off the top of my head, forgetting

2132
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:34,760
Speaker 1: that there is no iPhone nine, I am sad about

2133
01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:38,120
Speaker 1: that because I've been to every single iPhone launched since

2134
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: I think like the fourth iPhone or third iPhone, whatever,

2135
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:42,840
Speaker 1: it was all right, if you.

2136
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:43,800
Speaker 2: Can believe it, that's going to do it.

2137
