1
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Not one, not two, but three tech events in one

2
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: week from Apple, Google, and Samsung. Can You Handle It?

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Tyle revamps its lineup, and best Buy introduces total Tech Everywhere.

4
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions Answered? What's going on? I'm Rich

5
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Damiro and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast where

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: I talk about the tech stuff I think you should

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: know about. It's also the place where I answer the

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: questions you send me. That's right, you right there listening. Yeah,

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: don't look around, it's you. My name is Rich Smiro,

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Hopefully

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: you are having a fantastic day. Hope all as well.

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: Right before I came on to the show, McDonald's announced

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: they are going to have the mcplant burger at eight

14
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: restaurants in the US starting November three. They worked with

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: Beyond on the patty, which is made from peas, rice

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: and potatoes. It's got all the regular toppings, including American cheese,

17
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: so not really a vegan dish here, But locations that

18
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: they're going to test it include Texas, Iowa, Louisiana, and California.

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: Kind of a cross section of the US. Nothing on

20
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: the East coast. Interesting, of course, I am going to

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: try to get my hands on one of these burgers

22
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: to taste test it, because I if you follow me,

23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: you know that I love tasting the new I don't

24
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: want to call it fake food because it's food, but

25
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: and I don't want to call it franken food because

26
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: you know it's it's not necessarily manufacturer well I guess

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: it is, but it's made from things in the in

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: the world. It's not something that's like made in a

29
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: chemical factory. And I've been to these the Beyond, like

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: plant where they come up with this stuff, and it's

31
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: really fascinating. They kind of like they take little cross

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: sections of all kinds of food and figure out how

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: to reproduce it, or I guess recreate it using different things,

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, different seasonings, different plants. So it's really fascinating. Anyway,

35
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Maybe I'm just hungry, but it looks

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: delicious to me, and I'm up for you know, I'm

37
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: fine with a regular burger, but I'm always fine with

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: a plant burger as well. So the thing is a

39
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: lot of the comments on my Facebook page are quite negative,

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: but the reality is these things can coexist and we're

41
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: not trying to replace meat. We're just trying to give

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: people an option, especially in places where you know you

43
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: may not be able to have all the options that

44
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: you want. I think I've talked about this before, but anyway,

45
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to talk about in today's show,

46
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: so let's just get right to it. Next week, a big,

47
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: big event happening or three, well probably two big events

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: or just one, depending on how you look at it.

49
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: But there's going to be an Apple event on Monday,

50
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: then a Google event on Tuesday for the Pixel, and

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: then a Samsung event on Wednesday. And of course all

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: three companies except for Google, haven't really said what we're

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna see. But Apple, according to nine to five Mac,

54
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: expecting redesigned fourteen and sixteen inch MacBook pros, which I've

55
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: talked about how much I can't wait to get a

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: new MacBook Pro sixteen with the new M one chip.

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be the M one X, which

58
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be a little bit modified, probably even better.

59
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: But now that push comes to shove and I have

60
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: to spend my hard earned cash, I don't know. I'm like,

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: I think my computer's just fine. I don't know if

62
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: I need that, but you know I want it, so

63
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: we'll see. And since I'm not selling my old devices

64
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: anymore because I have so many kids, I have to

65
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: trade them, you know, pass them down to them. So

66
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: it's not like I have any trade in money either.

67
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: So this is this gonna be a big expenditure, but

68
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't know if I'm gonna do it

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: just yet. We'll have to see. Like I said, they'll

70
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: have the new M one x chip which might support

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: up to thirty two gigs a RAM, which you need

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: on the MacBook Pro. Mine's got sixteen and it it's fine,

73
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: but it could be better. Return of mag safe to

74
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: plug it in, which is the magnetic connector that not

75
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: the same as the thing on the iPhone, but similar.

76
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's all magnetic charging. And then let's see

77
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: HDMI port. They say they're bringing back in an SD

78
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: card slot, which would be really handy. No more touch bar,

79
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: which touch bar is horrible. There's no reason for it.

80
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: It's literally the worst thing on this computer. And I

81
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: don't understand why they dedicated a tiny strip at the

82
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: top to it. There's just no need. And if you're

83
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: not getting a new computer, we'll find out when mac

84
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: Os Monterey comes out. That should launch probably any day

85
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: now in October. And then let's see, we've got Google

86
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: with the Google Pixel. Very excited for that. You know,

87
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm also thinking about getting one of those Google Pixel six.

88
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: I'll probably go for the pro. If I get it,

89
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: we'll see. I definitely don't have to review it because

90
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: I'm curious what the camera is all about. But that's exciting.

91
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: A lot of that been leaked, but we don't know

92
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: the full picture just yet. We know a lot of

93
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: bits and pieces, but until reviewers get them in their hands,

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: which some of them probably already have for the past

95
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks under embargo, we won't know what the

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: capabilities of that camera really is. And then, finally, not

97
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: to be left out, Samsung says, oh, we're doing one too,

98
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: Galaxy Unpacked Part two, And I don't know this one

99
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: is a little sketchy because they say it's very I mean,

100
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: Samsung's already released all of their big devices for the year,

101
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: so there's not like they need to do something else.

102
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: But they say, our users live life in so many colorful,

103
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: interesting and unique ways. As such, the technology they use

104
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: every day should reflect their individual out individuality. Come see

105
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: how Samsung is opening up new experiences for self expression

106
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: through technology. That to me sounds like it's not that exciting.

107
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Some people are speculating that it's different color phone. I

108
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll see, but they're not really promising too

109
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: much there, so it's not like it's that big of

110
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: a deal. All right, Let's get right to the first

111
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: question of the day. Joyce says, my name is Joyce.

112
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: My husband and I watch you in Saint Louis. We're

113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: interested in buying a home security system for the outside

114
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: of our home, preferably three cameras. We do not want

115
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: inside cameras. We're in our sixties and pretty overwhelmed with

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: all the choices options. Don't know if I can get

117
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: recommendations from you on good, reliable system that will help

118
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: us monitor the outside of our home, anything would be appreciated.

119
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Joyce. Well, Joyce, there's a couple

120
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: different may I mean, there's so many different cameras. You're right,

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: there are many different brands out there, from Google to

122
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: to Whys to Blink to you know, even like the

123
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: simply safes of the world, like if you want like

124
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: a full alarm system. Then of course you have the

125
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: wise cameras, the ring cameras, I mean there's a lot,

126
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: But then you have Arlow. Of course you have SWAN

127
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: for like the actual like DVR systems. But I would

128
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: say I would say it comes down to two things

129
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: that you need to decide. Do you want to record

130
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: this footage the entire time, like twenty four to seven

131
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: you can go back and see anything that happened on

132
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: those cameras, or do you just want events to be recorded?

133
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: And events mean when someone walks in front of your camera,

134
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: it will trigger a recording for sixty to ninety seconds.

135
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: So if you want the simplest and the cheapest solution,

136
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: I think for that is definitely going to be the

137
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: ring cameras and also the most elaborate when it comes

138
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: to setting them up. Because you say you want three cameras,

139
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: you can easily put up three ring cameras either with

140
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: solar or with a battery and just replace that battery,

141
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: which I wouldn't fully recommend, or you can plug them

142
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: in a do they make an outdoor that you can

143
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: plug in? I'm not sure, but I think you would

144
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: just go solar in that circumstance. So that's option one.

145
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be your best option. You

146
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: can see all the cameras on the same page. They

147
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: work really well. Ring is very proven. Once you fall

148
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: in love with the Ring cameras, you'll buy a whole

149
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff from Ring as well. Now, your

150
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: other option, which I think is your cheapest option, and

151
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: this will give you twenty four to seven recording, is

152
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: going to be the wisecams and so they've got a

153
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Wisecam outdoor bundle. You get the bundle which will include

154
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: a little base station inside and then one camera, and

155
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: then you can purchase two other additional cameras that will

156
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: work with that wireless base station. And these cameras are

157
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: they are battery operated, so you know you'd have to

158
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: decide if that's right for you. You can also get

159
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: a solar panel for them if you want, but I

160
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: don't think they make a native one. I think you

161
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: have to buy like a I tested one from a

162
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: third party company which worked just fine. And that's your

163
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: second option, And that does give you the option to

164
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: put a micro SD card into the base station and

165
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: record the cameras twenty four to seven, So that will

166
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: use significant amounts of battery. So I would say, if

167
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: you want twenty four seven recording, you're gonna have to

168
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: invest neither these solar panels or the plug in cameras.

169
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: And Whyse does make cameras that plug in outdoors as well,

170
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: it's just not the outdoor camera. It's just the Whyse.

171
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: I think it's the version three just works indoors outdoors,

172
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: so you can put that outside. So you can do

173
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: that too. Now if you want something that's a little

174
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: bit more expensive, but let Google handle sort of the recording.

175
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: Twenty four to seven. Those are gonna be your nest

176
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: cams and they just came out, the whole lineup of

177
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: new ones and those will record twenty four to seven

178
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: onto Google servers, and it's really easy to sort of

179
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: go back and see what's going on and make clips

180
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. And that's I think it's

181
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: from six to twelve dollars a month for that. You

182
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: will pay a monthly service. With Ring you will pay

183
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: a monthly service as well, But I think it's just

184
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: three dollars a month for the for the entire system,

185
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, for all those cameras unlimited, So those are

186
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: your main choices. I would probably go with RING, just

187
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: because most people just need the standard event based recording.

188
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: They don't need it to be rolling twenty four to

189
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: seven unless you've got some sort of high security operation

190
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: happening at your house or around your house, or neighbors

191
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: that you don't like, or something that you know you

192
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: want to keep an eye on all the time. But

193
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: I would just go with RING personally or wise. I

194
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: would just compare those two and see which ones you

195
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: like better. All right, let's talk Apple Watch. Apple Watch

196
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Series seven launched or launches depending on when you're listening

197
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: to this, on Friday, October fifteenth. It is available. I've

198
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: had it on my wrist for a while now, and

199
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: what can I say, It is the perfect accessory. You've

200
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: heard me go on and on about how much I

201
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: love the Apple Watch, and this is no different, and

202
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: well it is a little different. So let me go

203
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: through some of the differences on the new Apple Watch

204
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: Series seven. And the number one difference is that it's

205
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: the case is just a millimeter bigger, but the screen

206
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: is twenty percent bigger. And you might think that that

207
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: doesn't make a big difference, but it does. And so

208
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: as soon as the first time I had to type

209
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: in my pin code to unlock this watch. I noticed

210
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: the difference in screen size. The buttons were so much bigger,

211
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: and it was much easier to tap in that four

212
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: digit code. Now, that's not a reason to upgrade, but

213
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure there's any reason to upgrade on

214
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: this device other than the fact that you need a

215
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: new Apple Watch. So if you have one of the

216
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: older models that doesn't have the the only reason really

217
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: to upgrade your Apple Watch at this point in time

218
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: is if the model you currently have does not have

219
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: the sensor that you need, whether that's blood oxygen or

220
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: whether it's some of the newer sensors that they've added

221
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: to these watches. But if you don't need those, there's

222
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: no reason to upgrade, because the Apple Watch is one

223
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: of those things that you only upgrade for a key

224
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: feature that you need. And I might even change that

225
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: to a want, because do you really need it? Maybe not,

226
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: because most of the watches, even from the Apple the

227
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 1: Series three and up, I think they all do like

228
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: the fall detection and all that good stuff. So okay,

229
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: so you've got the bigger screen you've got for the

230
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: first time ever on an Apple Watch built in a

231
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: quirty keyboard, which the irony is that the the buttons

232
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: are so tiny on that you would only use that

233
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: for like the most extreme circumstances of like you'd want

234
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: to type something out that's like a proper name or

235
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: an address or something like that, or Siri just isn't

236
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: understanding what you're saying and you have to type something,

237
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: so that is a good thing. You can also swipe

238
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: on that keyboard, which actually is much more useful. So

239
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: this is exclusive to the series seven at least for now.

240
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: Apple could always add that to any other watch in

241
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: a heartbeat with an OS update, but they're saying that

242
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: the screen the larger real estate is the only reason

243
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: that's possible, but who knows. Then there's two new watch

244
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: faces that take advantage of the extra screen real estate.

245
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: One is called Contour. This has numbers that go to

246
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: the edge. It's kind of like a mix of old

247
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: school and just it just kind of looks like a

248
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: like a melted watch face on the edges. I don't

249
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: know how to explain it. And then Modular Duo if

250
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: you want the maximum amount of information on a screen,

251
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: like if you wanted two of the giant Modular displays.

252
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: You know how most on almost every well on all

253
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch faces, there's only one big kind of

254
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: complication and the rest are all small ones. Well, this

255
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: one you can actually get two complications on the screen

256
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: at once. Other improvements include a more crack resistant face,

257
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: which will be nice because I've scratched a lot of

258
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: the old Apple watches. Dust resistance, but I've never had

259
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: an issue with dust on previous Apple Watches, so I'm

260
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: not really sure what that would add. I've taken mind

261
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: to the beach, I've taken them on hikes. I've never

262
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: even thought about dust in my life. Now. Battery life

263
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: is not improved, which is a total bummer, but they

264
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: did improve the charging by about fifteen minutes. It's fifteen

265
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: minutes faster, double is fast. If you have an older model,

266
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: like if you have one of the Series three or

267
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: something like that, you're gonna see significant charging upgrades to this.

268
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: There's also a new USBC charging cable in the box.

269
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: It's got this silver I don't know what you call it.

270
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: The puck is like silver, so you know that it's new, right,

271
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: instead of the old ones. The old ones will still

272
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: work with the new watches. The new thing will still

273
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: work with the old watches. They just will charge at

274
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: their appropriate speech. You're not gonna get faster charges on

275
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: the old watches, and it will be slower on the

276
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: new one with the old ones, so he kind of

277
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: need that new one to unlock the faster charge. Now.

278
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: The other thing they're doing is eight minutes of charging

279
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: on this watch will give you enough juice to track

280
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: eight hours of sleep. But quite honestly, the sleep data

281
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: on the Apple Watch is pretty much the native sleep

282
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: data is just not there. And I think Apple's doing

283
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: that on purpose because in the future they are going

284
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: to upgrade the sleep capabilities of this when they finally

285
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: mix in that startup that they purchased, I forget what

286
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: it's called, like Bettet or something. Once they get that

287
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: sleep thing figured out on the back end, they will

288
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: make a big to do about it and that will

289
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: be the new crown feature of the Apple Watch. But

290
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: that's not ready right now and it's not here. That's

291
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: for sure. Basically tells you how long you've slept, which

292
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: is like useless compared to things you get from Fitpit

293
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: and all that. Lots of fun new colors you've got

294
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Midnight you've got Starlight, you've got blue, red, and green.

295
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: It starts at three hundred and ninety nine dollars four

296
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: ninety nine for Cellular, which I think is actually a

297
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: price increase. I think Cellular used to cost less. Still

298
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: the best smart watch around no matter what it's, it

299
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: just is. It's amazing. You've got great notifications, excellent fitness tracking,

300
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: fun faces, wide range of helpful complications, although I wish

301
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: there were some more, and Siri is probably the biggest

302
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: sore spot. She just can't figure out what you're saying,

303
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: especially when it's proper nouns, especially when it's anything that's

304
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: like a business name. It's just really painful to use

305
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: her to dictate almost anything to this watch. And that's

306
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: my biggest downside to the Apple Watch is that if

307
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: it had Google Assistant on it, it would be a

308
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: real killer device. But overall still an amazing, amazing accessory

309
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: if you have an iPhone. I really wish that Apple

310
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: would set this device free and let it work without

311
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: an iPhone. I know it does with the family set up,

312
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: but it's still a little convoluted. They hold back some

313
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: features and it's not a pretty setup. So Apple, please

314
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: let people activate in Apple Watch all by themselves without

315
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: anything else, which, yes, the family set up kind of

316
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: does that, but it's still it's not meant to be

317
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: just a standalone device. But there you have it. Let

318
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: me know if you're gonna get an Apple Watch, big

319
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: upgrade if you have like a three, maybe or a four,

320
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: But if you have a five or six, obviously not

321
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: a huge update. All right, let's talk about Tile. Tile

322
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: is upgrading all of their products in an effort to

323
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: better compete with the air tag, and so Tyle says

324
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: that in the first half of twenty twenty one, Tile

325
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: has grown revenue over fifty percent and it shows no

326
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: sign of slowing down. So the company is sending a

327
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: message saying air tags did not destroy our business. So

328
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: first off, you've got the Pro, which is Tyle's most

329
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: powerful tracker, that's got a four hundred foot finding range,

330
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: and it's got a new look and feel, So basically

331
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: it has a hole in it, a big old hole

332
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: that enables you to clip it to a bag or

333
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: a purse or a key chain. Then you've got the Mate,

334
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: the Sticker, and the Slim. Those all have a two

335
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty foot finding range. Which is twenty five

336
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: percent more and sixty seven percent more for the sticker.

337
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: The sticker is really handy for a remote control. In fact,

338
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: I may buy the sticker just for my remote because

339
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: I need that. The kids don't care about the remote,

340
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: They let it fall between the couch cushions, and I

341
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: think I need that. How much is the sticker The

342
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: sticker is twenty nine ninety nine. I'm definitely that is

343
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: that's a purchase right now now. Additionally, the three models

344
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: now have a louder ring, which makes it easier to

345
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: find them, especially like I said, the remote control. They've

346
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: got a three year battery life and they've got IP

347
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: sixty seven water resistance, all of them do, which means

348
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: they could be submerged in one meter of water for

349
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: up to thirty minutes. There's also this new QR code,

350
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: and I love the fact that I've been talking about

351
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: QR codes for literally a decade and it took a

352
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: pandemic for people to actually care about them. And now

353
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: everyone in the world knows how to scan a QR code,

354
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: which is really cool because QR codes do have a

355
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: lot of uses. It brings you directly to something fast,

356
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: whether that's information, a website, someone's contact information, whatever it is.

357
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: It's just an easy way versus typing. You just aim

358
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: your phone at something. And so we've seen those things everywhere.

359
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: And now all tiles are going to have this little

360
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: QR code on them that lets you scan the QR

361
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: code and see who it belongs to or not who

362
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: it belongs to. Well, I guess they will allow owners

363
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: to put their contact information in there, but you can

364
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: put in whatever you want, whatever you feel comfortable with.

365
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: Then they've got a new app to help with unwanted tracking.

366
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: It's called Scan and Secure feature, So anyone with a tile,

367
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: it's actually just a feature inside the tile app can

368
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: scan for nearby devices and identify an unknown device near them.

369
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: That's for like the stalker situations. And then you've got

370
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: looking to the future, the new Tile Ultra because Tyle

371
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: doesn't want to say they're being left out in this

372
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: race with the ultra wideband technology, so they will have

373
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: Bluetooth an Ultra wideband built into a tile that's coming

374
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: out in early twenty twenty two. All right, So the

375
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: Tile Pro is thirty five bucks, the Mate is twenty five,

376
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: the Slim thirty five, and the sticker is thirty and yes,

377
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: I need to go buy that sticker right about now.

378
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: All right, next question comes from Laura. I'm a single,

379
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: disabled mom. I need to spend my money wisely. It's

380
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: finally time for a new iPhone. My old one has

381
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: had it. Can you cut through the chase and tell

382
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: me which iPhone is your fave? I have the iPhone

383
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: six Plus. I love it. I've been thinking maybe I

384
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: should just get another one, but I'm certain that if

385
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: anyone knows which phone can top this six plus, that

386
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: would be you. I'm going straight to the top. Rich

387
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: Which phone is the easiest to operate with? The very

388
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: best camera feature? Is all I ask? Please share, sincerely, Laura, Laura. Uh, Laura, Laura,

389
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: Laura U. Well, you want Okay, you're giving me a

390
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: couple things here. You're saying that you want the best camera,

391
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: but you also want You love the six plus, which

392
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: is a bigger phone, So that would lead me to

393
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: believe that the iPhone thirteen Pro Max would be your

394
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: best choice. But I'll be honest, I think that's way

395
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: too big of a device. Now, maybe you're so used

396
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: to the size of this phone that it's fine and

397
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: you don't mind. But it's also a very expensive device.

398
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: And I think that if you are willing to sacrifice

399
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: a little bit in the screen size, the standard iPhone

400
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: thirteen will be exactly what you need. You're gonna get

401
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: a great camera, not the very best, but you're gonna

402
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 1: get a great camera, and you're going to get a

403
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: really fast processor. You're gonna get a big screen. You're

404
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 1: not gonna get the biggest screen. But the problem is

405
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: is they don't make that middle phone anymore. The the

406
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: you know, the ten R sort of phone, you know

407
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: that used to be like in between the iPhone, the

408
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: Promax and the standard iPhone. They don't really make a

409
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: model like that anymore. So I think that if you

410
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: want to go with the thirteen Promax, that will be

411
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: the absolute best of the best. The Crem to the crem,

412
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: is it the cream of the crop, cream of the crop.

413
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: But I don't I think that's a little bit overkill.

414
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: I think that the twelve will be just fine or sorry,

415
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: the thirteen will be just fine, And I think that'll

416
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: be a good combination of price and features. You've got

417
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: an iPhone six plus, which came out several years ago,

418
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: so it's not as if you are, you know, needing

419
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: the latest, greatest, best, fastest, most amazing thing. You You've

420
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: been happy with this device, so I think you're gonna

421
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: be happy with the iPhone thirteen. That would be my

422
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: choice for you. Let me know what you get. Let's

Speaker 1: Apple Care Plus on Apple products. So if you just

442
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: do the price of Apple Care Plus on the iPhone thirteen,

443
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: which I don't know how much that costs, but let's

444
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: find out how much it is, do they tell you?

445
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: Let's see by now, so let's see that is the iPhone? Uh,

446
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: you have to sign in darn it. Well, I don't

447
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: know how much it costs then, but the reality of

448
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: it is it's not cheap. So if you get something

449
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: like Apple Care, let's see, let's see if I can

450
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: find the price of this thing. Hmm. That doesn't okay,

451
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: so uh doesn't really say okay, here we go. Apple

452
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: Care pricing according to mac rumors for the iPhone, it's

453
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: one twenty nine to one nine nine. So if you

454
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: paid the one twenty nine and this is sixty dollars

455
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 1: more or how much would that be eighty dollars more?

456
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. One's seventy to two hundred, al right, sorry,

457
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: one thirty would be seventy dollars more. So for seventy

458
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: dollars more, you get protection on all of your products,

00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: twenty percent off labor for repairs, sixty day extended return window,

461
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: and free haul away on most product replacements. So that's

462
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: the deal. I mean, I don't know. I think that

463
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: this is you're buying peace of mind with something like this.

464
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: I think if they came to your house and fixed stuff,

465
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: I think that would be a huge win on this plan.

466
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: But the problem is the plan that would be I

467
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: think prohibitively expensive for Best Buy to offer. But I

468
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: think there's this a good start. It's funny because they're

469
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: doing one ninety nine per year because most people like

470
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: to pay monthly. So I think if they introduce this

471
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: as a monthly, so two hundred divided by twelve would

472
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: be sixteen seventeen dollars a month, which, you know, let's

473
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: say they rounded it down to fifteen a month. I

474
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: think that they would maybe have a bit of a

475
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: winning hand here. It's gonna say winning hand in their hand.

476
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: But that doesn't you can't use the word twice, you know.

477
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: All right, Let's see Mary Anne says, is there a

478
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: virus or something making the monitor go black? I was

479
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: using the desktop and the monitor blinked and went black.

480
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: I got to use monitor, same thing. I got to

481
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: use desktop the same My sister's computer do the same

482
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: at the same time. We have tried three computers, four monitors,

483
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: and four cables. Nothing seems to work any ideas there

484
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: is power to all. Monitor says it's going to sleep.

485
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mary, R. Mary. This is quite the quite

486
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: the question. You're telling me that you got three different computers,

487
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: four different monitors, and four different cables and tried them

488
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: all and none of this worked and the computers all

489
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: go to sleep. Wow, that's quite interesting. Well, I think

490
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: it sounds like you've got your sleep settings, can figure

491
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: in your Windows energy settings or your Mac energy settings,

492
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: and that's what's causing this to go to sleep. Now,

493
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: that typically would happen, if you know, if your computer's laptop, yes,

494
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: the monitor goes to sleep. If it's a desktop, typically

495
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit longer to go to sleep,

496
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: but it will go to sleep eventually. Now, if you

497
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: said you're actively using the computer, that's odd because typically

498
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: computers don't go to sleep when you're actively using them.

499
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: There's a timeout period of anywhere you can set it

500
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: from one minute to never. But this is odd, and

501
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's happening with your sister's computer as well.

502
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: And you bought a used monitor, same thing you got

503
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: to use desktop. I can't believe it. You troubleshooted all

504
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: these things. So is there a virus on all these things?

505
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: I think not, But if I had to guess, it

506
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: is either the power settings. The other thing could be

507
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: is whatever program you're using, there's some sort of something

508
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: happening with the video I'll put and maybe that's causing

509
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: this to not work properly. But that's a that's an

510
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: odd question or an odd problem to have. I don't know.

511
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: Let me know if you find a solution to that one,

512
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: because that's a that's a weird one. All right, let's

513
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: talk about fire TV stick. So I was listening to

514
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: an interview with gosh, what's his name, Dave Limp of Amazon.

515
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: He runs up their products division. There wasn't a whole

516
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: bunch of like stuff that I was like, oh my gosh,

517
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh,

518
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: like this is such good stuff. But there was a

519
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: couple of little nuggets in there that I thought were

520
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: really good. And you know, there's a couple of little

521
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: things he revealed about how Amazon does business. But I

522
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: just read the Amazon book, so some of that stuff

523
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: wasn't new. But you know, I thought it was interesting

524
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: how he talks about how Alexa makes money. And I

525
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: found it fascinating that, you know, if you're listening for

526
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: free on Spotify, that Amazon just like kind of like TV,

527
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: they get a couple barter ads, so inside your your

528
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: ads that they are playing, Amazon owns a couple of

529
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: those spots and can sell them. So I thought that

530
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting because that's how old school TV works.

531
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: Like let's say I gave my tech segment to a

532
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: bunch of random TV stations nationwide. You know, not we

533
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: do that, but those are stations we own. But let's

534
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: say I just happen to have, you know, my own business,

535
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: and I made a tech segment. I sold it to

536
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: TV stations. I would say, okay, you can have this

537
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: segment for free, but you got to run this advertisement,

538
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: and you give me one of your commercials an hour,

539
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: and then I go to best Buy and I sell

540
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: them a sponsorship package and saying, hey, you know, a

541
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: hundred stations are running my tech segment. Here's you know,

542
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: pay me a million bucks and they will run your

543
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: commercial in the in their breaks. And that's how that's

544
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: how that barter system sort of works. Very simplified obviously,

545
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: But anyway, this is the new streaming stick. It's fifty

546
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: five bucks and if you have a fire TV stick.

547
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: This is one of the things that Dave mentioned that

548
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: I thought was pretty interesting. He said that, you know,

549
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Amazon is not really interested in you upgrading your products

550
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: every year. Said in fact, if that's kind of happening,

551
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: they're not doing their job very well. They want you

552
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: to buy something and use it pretty much until it's

553
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: broken because they want to update it through software and

554
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: make it function better. And so I thought that was

555
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: pretty interesting because he's right. I mean, it's like the

556
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: new Kindles came out and I'm like, well, why do

557
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: I need a new one? Or the new fire stick

558
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: comes out and it's like, oh, my old one's working

559
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: just fine. It still streams Netflix, still does whatever you

560
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: need to do. And so that's why it's kind of

561
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: one of these things kind of similar to the Apple Watch.

562
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: It's like you upgrade when you need it, you know,

563
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: if it breaks or if there's a new feature that

564
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: you have to have. Now, the new feature here is

565
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: Wi Fi six. Wi Fi six is you know, it

566
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: might work in the further recesses of your home, it

567
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: might stream faster, it might buffer less, but you have

568
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: to have a Wi Fi six compatible streamer. And I'm

569
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: looking at a review here for Mashable, by the way,

570
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: so that's basically the new feature. It's all also a

571
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: little bit faster. It's got a quad core processor, two

572
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: gigs of rams, so supposedly it's forty percent faster than

573
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: the previous four K model. So this reviewer says that

574
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: it does of as they say, hums along beautifully, So

575
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: that's nice. The UI, you know, all the fire sticks

576
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: got the UI, and again you know doubles as a

577
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: gaming stick. But are people really playing the Amazon games

578
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: just yet? I'm not sure. But the reality is, if

579
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: you need a new fire stick, fifty five bucks is

580
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: pretty inexpensive. Yes, it's a little bit more than some

581
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: of the other Roku sticks out there that are like

582
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty or thirty dollars, and even some of the

583
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: cheaper fire sticks out there, but I would go with

584
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: the most expensive firestick you can get because these are

585
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: the kind of things that you keep for a few years.

586
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: They're cheap to begin with, at fifty five dollars. Buy

587
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: them on a day when they go on sale, which

588
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: is you know, Black Friday's coming up, or any day

589
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: that Amazon, you know, just do a price watch on

590
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: these things. All of Amazon's first party electronics that they

591
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: make go on sale, and so I would definitely just

592
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: do a watch on those. But the other thing is

593
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: that fifty five dollars you can save. The offer I

594
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: got was they said, if you trade in one of

595
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: your old fire sticks, you'll save twenty percent. So right there,

596
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: you can save a little bit more than ten bucks

597
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: if you want to, you know, trade in one of

598
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: your old sticks, which you probably would, you know, wouldn't

599
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: mind doing. And in fact, I've got a couple sitting

600
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: around here because I purchased almost all of them over

601
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: the years. So just trade in one of the oldest

602
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: the oldest one gets traded in, and you save twenty percent.

603
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: That's a pretty pretty simple deal. But anyway, fire TV

604
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: stick four K, the new one is available now. It's

605
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: been a couple of years since they updated it. So

606
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: if it's been a couple years since you upgraded, you

607
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: feel like you're just getting a little slow. You want

608
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: that new remote control with the voice Alexa voice on it,

609
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: go ahead and give it the old upgrade. I do

610
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: like the Fire TV stick. I think it's the one

611
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: I recommend, I think for most people because it just

612
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: does everything and it's I like it slightly better than Roku. Obviously,

613
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Apple TV is nice, but it's so expensive, and the

614
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: Google Chrome Cast is nice. But I feel like there's

615
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: definitely more progress behind the Fire platform or the Fire

616
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: TV platform. I should say all right, Tye says, Hey, Rich,

617
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: this might be a stupid question. I was going to

618
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: change my ISP from Frontier FiOS to Spectrum since I'll

619
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: be moving. I've read that fiber optic is faster than cable,

620
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: and I was told that Frontier will no longer offer

621
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: FiOS to new customers. Should I keep Frontier FiOS for speed?

622
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: Love your tech reports? Thanks tie Well. I hadn't heard

623
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: that Frontier is no longer offering FiOS to new customers.

624
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: That's news to me. That's interesting because I saw commercials

625
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: for Frontier like as of a couple of weeks ago.

626
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: But your question is should I change my ISP to Spectrum.

627
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: So it really comes down to the speed and the price.

628
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to Internet, I've got a

629
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: gigabit connection here, which is a thousand down, a thousand up,

630
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: and honestly, my life is not that much different than

631
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: when I had a four hundred megabit connection. So is

632
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: it slightly faster sometimes? Yes? Is it fully noticeable every

633
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: single thing I do in my house? No? Now, the

634
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: one thing that I think is the big differentiator here

635
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: besides the price, I mean would I would go on

636
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: price first, because Spectrum standard is four hundred, Frontier is

637
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: either five hundred or one thousand, and I would go

638
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: by price. So whoever gives you the better price, just

639
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: go with because that both of those speeds are going

640
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: to be just fine for anything that you need to

641
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: do in the house. Now, the big difference is the

642
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: up the upload speed. So when you upload on a

643
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: Spectrum versus Frontier, Frontier is going to be the same

644
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: speed up and down. So if you're getting five hundred down,

645
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: it's most likely five hundred up. And if you're uploading

646
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: large video files, you will notice the difference there. Now,

647
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: Spectrum sneaky sneaky, They don't mention the upload speeds almost anywhere,

648
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: it's always a four hundred download speed, and so the

649
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: UP I think last I checked was like thirty five.

650
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they've changed that, but that's basically it now. To

651
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 1: their defense, they're saving bandwidth on the other side, because

652
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: they know people want faster downloads than uploads ninety nine

653
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: point nine percent of the time, unless you're someone like

654
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: me or a creator, or someone who's exchanging large video

655
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: files on a daily basis like myself. And so for

656
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: that reason, if you have any sort of job where

657
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: you need the upload speeds to be really fast, I

658
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: would consider sticking with Spectrum with a FiOS otherwise, Spectrum,

659
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: I think will be just fine. But in the big

660
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: scheme of things, I think that you go with whoever's cheaper,

661
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: and those prices do kind of expire after a year

662
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: or two, so you can always swap after that. One

663
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: Password has a new feature where you can securely share

664
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: your password with anyone and even if they don't use

665
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: one password. But this feature is only for one password users.

666
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: So I thought at first maybe you could share it

667
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: like through a web aapp, but no, you have to

668
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: be a one password customer. And the company says in

669
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: a blog post that they know. A lot of people

670
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: share passwords for things like streaming services and whatever, and

671
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: we've all shared a password with someone, right, And what

672
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: you do is you typically text it to them or

673
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: you send it in the email. All these very insecure

674
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: ways of moving information, especially a password. So now this

675
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: is a link that you generate and the link can

676
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: expire in thirty days, fourteen days, one day, or one hour,

677
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: or even after one person views it. Now that doesn't

678
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: keep them from taking a screen shot or anything like that,

679
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: but yes, you can do this. It is a little

680
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: bit more secure. And again they can copy the screenshot

681
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: or a screenshot or copy it and write it down

682
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Doesn't keep them from doing that, but it's

683
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: just one more way of making it a little bit

684
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: more safe to share a password with someone. And then

685
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: you can also change the password right after they use it.

686
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: You're not sharing the original item in one password, you're

687
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: sharing a copy of the original item, so it's kind

688
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: of a snapshot, so they want to make that clear.

689
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: That's in bold. But you also get an activity log

690
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: as the owner, so you can see the name of

691
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: the shared item, who shared it, along their IP address,

692
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: the day and time when the link expires, the email address,

693
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: how many times the recipient viewed it, and the IP

694
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: address of the recipient who viewed it. So it's kind

695
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: of a cool feature. I think that it's I don't know.

696
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: I mean, people, look, people are still going to share

697
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: the same old way they share over and over. People

698
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: are still going to have weak passwords over and over.

699
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't understand why people don't get the message to

700
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: stop using terrible passwords, stop using the same password over

701
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: and over, and stop sharing common passwords with your friends

702
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: and family, because all these things just lead into the

703
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: fact that if something gets hacked, like you know, today

704
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: we heard about Visible getting hacked, and Visible did not

705
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: actually get hacked, so to say, like they didn't figure

706
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: out people's email addresses. It was really social engineering. These

707
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: hackers found a bunch of passwords on line and user names,

708
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: and they said, wonder if they'll work Invisible, And sure enough,

709
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,479
Speaker 1: they went over there and a whole bunch of them worked.

710
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: Because guess what, people use the same email address and

711
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: password across a bunch of websites and if you do that,

712
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: you're putting yourself at major risk. Let me say that again.

713
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: If you're using the same password across multiple websites. You're

714
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: putting yourself at major risk Because I get these things

715
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: all the time. I get email notifications from this monitoring

716
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: service I have for identity monitoring, and it's like, rich,

717
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: your information has been found on the open web. And

718
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: just this week it was everything my name, my address,

719
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: my phone number, my email address, passwords. I mean, it's like,

720
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: if you're in this came from a website that I

721
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: signed up for and ordered something from one time, and

722
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: now they were breached, and now my information is everywhere

723
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: on the open Web for people to find. And that

724
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: really is not fun. And as soon as this happens,

725
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: what do you think happens next thing? No, I start

726
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: getting a whole bunch of emails in my inbox. You

727
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: know with spam that you can tell is all based

728
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: on the fact that a fresh email just made its

729
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: way into the spammer's hands or the hackers hands, And

730
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: so the reality is you can't really recall that information.

731
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 1: But if you have unique passwords on every website, sure

732
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: they can get that password, but it's going to look

733
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: like gobbledegook to any other pass to any other website.

734
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: And you don't want your Amazon password out there. You

735
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: don't want your cell phone password out there. You don't

736
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: want your email password, you don't want your bank password,

737
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: you don't want your credit card password. Make these things different.

738
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 1: If at the very least you just make your core

739
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: passwords different, that's the best I can ask right now.

740
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be re using the same

741
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: password for anything, but you know, that's just the reality is.

742
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot to ask of people. They don't want

743
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: to use these password managers. It's too much work, it's

744
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: too much effort, too much energy. But this is your information.

745
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: You don't want a breach. Believe me, they're not fun.

746
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: So change those passwords and make sure that you're not

747
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: using the same one across various websites. Roy says, Hey, Rich,

748
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: if I delete a photo for my Google Photos, will

749
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: it automatically delete from my iCloud photo library. Thank you

750
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: for your help. Roy. So there's a lot of confusion

751
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: about how iCloud photo Library works because it's kind of

752
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: built into the iPhone, And it's one more reason I

753
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: don't really like to use it, because I like things

754
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: that I understand, and I'll be honest, I'm a tech expert.

755
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: Or a tech I guess I like told myself a

756
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: tech enthusiast. But I'll be honest, I'm a tech enthusiast

757
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: and I don't understand how iCloud Photo Library works. Now

758
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,479
Speaker 1: I get it, I get how it will. Okay, yes,

759
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: I understand how it works. But it's too complicated because

760
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: this happens to so many people. They don't realize that

761
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: when you delete a photo off your iPhone, you're not

762
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: just saving the space on your iPhone. You're going in

763
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: and you're that photo is linked to the cloud and

764
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 1: next thing you know, it's getting deleted from my cloud.

765
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: So yes, there are times when deleting a Google Photos,

766
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: we'll delete it from your iCloud photolibrary. And let me

767
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: explain when that happens. When you delete in Google Photos.

768
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: There is a Google Photos app for your iPhone. If

769
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: you are inside that app and you delete a photo

770
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: that is also stored on your phone, it will say

771
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: would you like us to also delete this picture off

772
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: your phone? And if you say yes to that, yes,

773
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: it will delete from the iCloud photolibrary to keep that

774
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: from happening. To delete it just from Google Photos and

775
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: not from your iCloud photolibrary, which by the way, will

776
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: get really confusing very fast. You want to go to

777
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: Google Photos on the web, which is photos dot Google

778
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: dot com, and if you delete a picture from there,

779
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: it has no way of knowing if it's linked up

780
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: to the picture on your phone, because it's not on

781
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: your iPhone. So go to a web browser on a

782
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: computer and do it from there, and then you can

783
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: prune your collection that way and it will not affect

784
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: your iCloud photolibrary. Now, the way I do stuff like

785
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: this is since I'm a perpetual tester, I will always

786
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: test things out before I actually do them in a

787
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: big way. So what I would do is I would

788
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: take a picture of something I recognize. I would take

789
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: two or three, and you know, fresh new pictures that

790
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: are on my iPhone, and then I would go ahead

791
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: and delete them in various ways. I would go into

792
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: Google Photos and delete it. Then I would on my phone.

793
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: Then I would go into my iCloud photo library on

794
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: my phone and delete it there and see if it

795
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: deletes from Google Photos. And then I would go into

796
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: Google Photos on the web and see if it deletes

797
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: it from my phone. And you will find that each

798
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: one of those will do something slightly different. So Roy,

799
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: good question. I know it's confusing, but hopefully that helped

800
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: you out. All right. I got a couple of folks

801
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 1: saying they want me to talk more about electric cars

802
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: in this podcast, which I will definitely do. I still absolutely,

803
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, love, love, love my Tesla, best thing

804
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: I've ever purchased. I can't believe they raised the price

805
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: by two thousand dollars on my car. So I bought

806
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: it just in time because I really would have felt

807
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: I honestly, if they raised the price by two grand

808
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: when I was still contemplating buying it, it probably would

809
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: have put my purchase off by another six months to

810
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: a year because I would have been like, oh, I mean,

811
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: we're seeing inflation across various parts of the economy, and

812
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, cars. I don't know what made Tesla raise

813
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: the price by two grand, but it just seems like

814
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: everything is sort of being raised right now because now

815
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: parts are more expensive, they're harder to get, and so

816
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: Tesla is kind of known for raising prices and also

817
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: lowering them when appropriate. But yeah, that happened, and I

818
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: was kind of angry that well, I was angry, but

819
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: I was also relieved that I actually got the car

820
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: before that price went up, so I still love it.

821
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think there's anything new. There's a couple

822
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: of things I would like to change, especially with the software.

823
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: Like I'm so surprised that there's not a button on

824
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: the console, like on the big screen for voice assistant

825
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: like you would now maybe they just want you to

826
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: use the button on your steering wheel because that's safer

827
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: and you're not touching as many things, but that's like

828
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: to me, it's kind of a no brainer to have

829
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: a voice activation either, even like a Hey, Tesla would

830
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: be nice, which I'm just surprised they don't have. The

831
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: other thing that I don't particularly like is the way

832
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: music is handled. I like that you can use Spotify,

833
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: but the way that the music it's tough to explain

834
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: if you have a Tesla, but the music selector there's

835
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: like a button that you press for music to come up.

836
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: But then when you have there's like three levels of

837
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: how it's how big it is on the screen, almost

838
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: like a Windows application. So if you press it once,

839
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: then you have to swipe up to bring it bigger,

840
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: and then swipe up to bring it even bigger. Then

841
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: you swipe down to bring it medium, and then swipe

842
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: it down to make it a small player, and then

843
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: you can get rid of it all completely. It is

844
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: way too many steps to be fiddling with while you're

845
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: trying to figure out music on your car. So what

846
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: I think Tesla should do is they should allow you

847
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: in the settings to set your defaults, so if you

848
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: to me, I always want a mini player underneath my maps.

849
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: So what I want is I want two things. I

850
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: want a mini player and I want the big full screen.

851
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: Because of full screen, I'm selecting what I'm gonna listen to,

852
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: and then as soon as I'm done with that, I

853
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: want to just minimize it to the mini player. Those

854
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: are the two things I want. Maybe someone else wants

855
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: favorites and then the mini player, or maybe they want

856
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: favorites and the big screen. I don't know, or maybe

857
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: they want no player and then the favorites, or they

858
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 1: want no player plus the big screen. There's like twenty

859
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: five different combinations, and Tesla should allow us to choose

860
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: which one we want when we tap the little music

861
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: button once twice three times to cycle through that. But

862
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: those are small, small things, because overall I love, love,

863
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: love the car, and I love the idea that I'm

864
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: starting out like pretty much every day with a full

865
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: tank of gas. That's just like our electricity. But it's

866
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: such a weird concept that I just absolutely love. And

867
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: it makes you realize how the miles you drive in

868
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: a day, like I can tell you like the average

869
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: miles I drive in a day, Like I never knew

870
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: that before because now I'm watching like the mileage every day.

871
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: I say this all because GM and not so much

872
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: of a good place with the Chevy Bolt. And this

873
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: is really a black eye for Chevy with this bolt,

874
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: because they put so much effort and energy and it's

875
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: a cool little car. I've test driven it several times

876
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: and I really like it. I ended up not going

877
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: with a Chevy Bolt because I felt like it was

878
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: just a very it was too similar to the other

879
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: Cheves out there, and I just felt like I wanted

880
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: something totally different. But anyway, Chevy has to replace the

881
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: batteries and a bunch of these Chevy Bolts. According to

882
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: tech Crunch, the replacement batteries have started shipping to dealers.

883
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: Vehicles will be prioritized according to when they were made,

884
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: and then the replacement process should take about two days.

885
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: The new batteries come with an eight year or one

886
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: hundred thousand mile limited warranty, and there's also going to

887
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: be diagnostic software that dealers can use to check to

888
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: see if your car is okay and all so monitor

889
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: the battery. So I guess every time you bring in

890
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: for some sort of service, they'll say, like, Okay, your

891
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: battery's looking okay. There's two manufacturing defects. And I can

892
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: tell you having been inside the battery manufacturing plant in Volkswagen,

893
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: it's a Tennessee plant. I mean, I gotta tell you,

894
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that these batteries can last one hundred thousand

895
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: miles with the intricacies of how they're put together, since

896
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: there's so many different parts and they start out as

897
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: so many different cells that are then all fused together

898
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: with wires and you know, I mean, it's just it's

899
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: quite the process. It's not just like one giant like battery.

900
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: It's like a whole bunch of little battery cells that

901
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: they link together to make this big battery. And I

902
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: asked Volkswagen, I said, you know, if one of these

903
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: cells ever went bad, is there could you ever replace

904
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: the cell and they said, yeah, they actually could. So

905
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: it's clearly a process to do this and something that

906
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: GM does not want to do, but they have to,

907
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: especially because some of these drivers were recommended to park

908
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: their vehicles away from their home in case of a

909
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: fire and also don't park within fifty feet of other vehicles,

910
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: which is really scary. So, I mean, I don't know

911
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: if those were official things or just kind of recommendations,

912
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: but GM is supposed to is probably going to spend

913
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: about almost two billion dollars, which part of that is

914
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: going to be from LGKM, which made these batteries apparently,

915
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: or help them make these batteries. But wow, it's just

916
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: one of these things that you know, I'm giving you

917
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: the full story, but in mainstream news that people are

918
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: just going to read the headlines or hear about it.

919
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: They just know that the bolt batteries light on fire,

920
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: and that's not a good thing. That's horrible. It reminds

921
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: me of the situation with Samsung with the with their

922
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: note phones. Now they've gotten over that. Yes, people still

923
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: buy Samsung's, but the reality is, for a while, it

924
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: was the butt of the joke all the time. Was

925
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: the Samsung battery, and so you don't want the wind

926
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: to be knocked out of your sales at this point, GM,

927
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: because you know, these electric cars are really starting to

928
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 1: take off in a big way. Coming from someone who

929
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 1: just bought one and is in Los Angeles, so maybe

930
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: not so much of the rest of the US, but

931
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: they are. The momentum is behind them, and to see

932
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: this kind of thing happen, it's just not good for

933
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: the entire situation. Coming from someone who just loves, loves,

934
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: loves evs now, it's just not good. Okay. Riley says,

935
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: Hey rich through Instagram at rich on Tech, do you

936
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: have any RECs on apps to track or organize streaming

937
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: shows you watched? I can never remember what show is

938
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: on what service and the episode drop dates. Thank you. Yes,

939
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: I have the perfect app for this. It is called

940
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: Real Good r E E L g oo D. It

941
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 1: is what I use. It is fantastic. You can choose

942
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: your streaming services to not only see what's new on there,

943
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: but you can also keep track of shows. It will

944
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 1: help you even mark off each episode that you've watched,

945
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: and you can keep track of the movies you want

946
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: to see on there, and you can sort them in

947
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: different ways. So every time I get a recommendation for

948
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: a movie or a TV show, it goes on my

949
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: real good list. And not only does it tell me

950
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: when it's available, I can sort it by like popularity,

951
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: by recent by whatever. I mean. There's a whole bunch

952
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: of ways to sort and slice and dice, and so

953
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: it is. I think it's the best one that I found,

954
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: and I think that it's just a really handy thing

955
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: to have. Now, there's lots of other ways you can

956
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: do it. You can do it in Apple TV, the

957
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: Apple It's so confusing because Apple. You've got Apple TV

958
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: and then Apple TV Plus, and then you've got Apple

959
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: So you go, okay, Actually you have Apple TV, the

960
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: physical device that sits under your TV. Then you have

961
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: the Apple TV app, which is also on your TV,

962
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 1: but it's also on your phone. Then you have Apple

963
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: TV Plus, which is a streaming service that is available

964
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: across various devices. Now, the Apple TV app is the

965
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: one that you can actually use to keep track of

966
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: things that you want to watch, and that is your

967
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: or I think they call it the up next list

968
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: or something like that, and you can also search just

969
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: to see when things are available. And what services they're on.

970
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as good as Real Good, but

971
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: it'll it'll do something similar. The other thing you can

972
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: do if you're on Android is the Android Let's see

973
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 1: what is it called. It's called Google TV. I think

974
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: it's called on the the app. It used to be

975
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: Google play Watch or something like that or Google I

976
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: don't know. See it's a little app that you used

977
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: to let you watch videos on your iPhone on your

978
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: Android side of things. I can't remember what they changed

979
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: the name. I think it's just Google TV now. But anyway,

980
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: that app has a way of searching for, you know,

981
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: stuff that you want to watch. It'll show you when

982
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: it's available, and then it has a bookmarking feature called

983
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: what to watch or no watch list, and you can

984
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: set that up now. I set that up as well.

985
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: But I do think that Real Good, since it's platform agnostic,

986
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: it works on iPhone and Android, and it's free, is

987
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: definitely your best option overall. There are other apps as well.

988
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: There's one called just Watch which does something similar, but

989
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 1: I find that Real Good has the look and feel

990
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: that I like, and so definitely check that out. Website

991
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: called Redact Dot Photo I thought was pretty cool. Sometimes

992
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: you want to share something online or on Twitter or whatever,

993
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: and there's just something in it that you don't really

994
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: want displayed, like a username, or you know, could be

995
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: just some sort of private information, and you can do

996
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: the thing where you scribble it out on the iPhone,

997
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: but that doesn't always work, and some people say that

998
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: you can actually remove that somehow. But I found this

999
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 1: website on a product hunt. It's called Redact dot Photo.

1000
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: I've been using Skitch for a long time, but it's

1001
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: not supported anymore. It doesn't seem to be new, but

1002
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: it's still on my phone, so it works. But this

1003
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: is very similar. It works in the browser. You drag

1004
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: and drop a photo and then all you have to

1005
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: do is drag and drop wherever you want to redact

1006
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 1: some of the information on the photo. And the person

1007
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: who coded this app says every thing happens in browser.

1008
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: They don't upload any data, and it's all free, and

1009
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: it's actually really cool. It's really useful. I'm gonna start

1010
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: using this to redact stuff. You can do some simple

1011
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: cropping and rotating, but the most important thing is that

1012
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: you can literally get something blurred out in a picture

1013
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: very very quickly. If you need it, and we've all

1014
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: needed that sometimes. Website again is redact dot photo. I

1015
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: will put it in the show notes, all right. That

1016
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: sound means it's gonna do it for the end of

1017
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: this That's gonna do it for this episode of the show.

1018
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,759
