1 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: The last pass hack was worse than initially thought. Sunday 2 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: Ticket going to YouTube, you can bet it won't be free. 3 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: Which smartphone has the best camera in twenty twenty two? 4 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: The answer might surprise you. Plus your tech questions answered? 5 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: What's going on on Rich Demiro And this is Rich 6 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: on Tech. This show where I talk about the tech 7 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: stuff I think you should know about, and it's where 8 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: I answer the questions you send me. I'm the tech 9 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles and soon 10 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: live on radio stations coast to coast. That is right. 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: This is my very last podcast, but also the start 12 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: of something new. I know, this is so wild. I've 13 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: been doing this show for over three hundred episodes since 14 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, I think it was, and from day one, 15 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: if you've listened to this show since the first day 16 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: I did it, my goal has always been to make 17 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: this a useful show and to answer the questions that 18 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: I get so that everyone else can learn from those questions. 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: And a big part of that was always live callers. Now, 20 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: if you were with me in the early days, you 21 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: know that I experimented a lot with a lot of 22 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: different ways to take live callers, but it was always 23 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: a challenge because the technology was tricky. Doing it myself 24 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: was tricky. Screening calls was tricky. Later on, you know, 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: I did have a board that would allow me to 26 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: do it, but the problem was, you know, I did 27 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: the show at different times, and so it was tough 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: to tell people to call in because I didn't really 29 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: know when I was doing the show, and so it 30 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: was very vexing to get the live callers. And so 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: the idea was always like, Wow, if I could do 32 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: this on the radio where people knew that they can 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: call in from you know, eleven to two, that would 34 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: be ideal. And so the idea of doing this show 35 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: on the radio has always been a dream. Just doing 36 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: radio in general has always been a dream of mine. 37 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: If you've listened to this, you know that, I mean 38 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: you can just tell because look, I mean, who else, 39 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: Oh wow, this music is still going. Who else would 40 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: use things like this, you know, and like all these 41 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: little sound effects and things. 42 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: I just I love radio. It's just fun to me. 43 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: So the reality is, you know, the story Leo Laporte 44 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: retiring from radio and that opened up a time slot 45 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: and KFI Premiere Networks was kind enough to say, hey, Rich, 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: do you want to do your podcast on the radio 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: and basically take over this time slot? And so I 48 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: said absolutely. So the radio show is going to be 49 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: called Rich on Tech. It's going to be based here 50 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles at KFI, but it will be heard 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: on stations across the nation. Now I don't know what 52 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: all those stations are just yet, because basically they have 53 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: to figure out where that's going to happen. Each station 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: has to say, yeah, well run Rich. She sounds pretty good. 55 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: And so I will share more information as I have it. 56 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: I don't have all the answers just yet, believe me. 57 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: And if you've been listening to this podcast and wondering, 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: like Rich, what's going on? Why did it take you 59 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: so long to do another one? It is all consuming 60 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: to figure out how to not only negotiate a new show, 61 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: but also navigate the steps involved in creating a new 62 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: radio show. If you've listened to my podcast over the years, 63 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: I think the new show is going to be very, 64 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: very similar. The biggest difference is that we will have 65 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: actual callers. There will be a call screen, or there 66 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: will be people like you can call in. I feel 67 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: like this show is kind of like office hours for me. 68 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: So you know, Saturday mornings eleven or two. You've got 69 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: a problem, you can call Rich. You want a opinion, 70 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: you have a question, just call me and we'll work 71 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: it out. We'll see if I can help you out 72 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: on it. But my plan, like I said earlier, is 73 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: to make this the most useful show to everyone every week. 74 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: I want to make it packed with tech tips, reviews, 75 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: cool new apps, websites, information to keep you safe from 76 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: scams and other online stuff. I had a major scare 77 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: yesterday with my Google account. I don't know what happened, 78 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: but I logged onto a Wi Fi and within minutes 79 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: Google shut down my entire computer. I'm talking Chrome, I'm 80 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: talking every website that is affiliated with Google. It signed 81 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: me out on all of my devices. So if you're 82 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: keeping your password in your Gmail for something, you would 83 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: have a very tough time to recover that password. 84 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: Let's say let's. 85 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: Say you keep I mean, just my point is, there 86 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: is a scenario where Google, if it detects unusual activity 87 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: on your account, will log you out across all of 88 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: your devices everywhere, and you will not have access to anything. 89 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: And if that happens, you better be prepared. I was 90 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: grossly unprepared, and it really took me back and I 91 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: ended up having to spend like ten minutes trying to 92 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: get back into my accounts. Luckily I was able to, 93 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: but man, it was scary. I mean really really scary. 94 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: So back your stuff up, have your passwords. It asked 95 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: me for my you know, backup codes that you originally 96 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: that it originally generated when I first signed up with 97 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: my Google account, like you know, a decade ago. I 98 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: was like, I don't have those. How am I going 99 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: to find those? I was able to recover my account, 100 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: but wow, was that scary. So just just you know, 101 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: that's the kind of stuff that I'll talk about. And 102 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: now that I've experienced that, I have a newfound appreciation 103 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: for just being really really careful with stuff. And oh 104 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: my gosh, that was scary. Anyway, I don't really know 105 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: what happened. Actually, I think it was something on the 106 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: Wi Fi that just kind of Google was like, ah, ah, 107 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: don't we don't like this. They mentioned malware, but I 108 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: don't think my system has malware on it anyway, So 109 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that kind of stuff. I'm also excited 110 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: to bring on interesting guests. So I'm going to have 111 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: an ever changing array of guests to talk about a 112 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: wide topic of issues. People that are smarter than me 113 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: in a wide variety of topics. I will bring them on, 114 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: i will talk with them. It will be fresh and 115 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: different and new every single week. 116 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 2: And it's a lot of work. 117 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, just nailing down the guests 118 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: for the first week was tough, but I've got a 119 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: great one and I cannot wait. And I'm also going 120 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: to do I want to do a segment where I 121 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: bring on a smart people and just talk to them 122 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: about stuff and how they run their lives and what 123 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: they do. So it's going to be I think, really 124 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: as long as I enjoy it, that's the main thing. 125 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: If I'm learning, if I'm growing from this show, I 126 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: feel like you will too. And that's kind of the 127 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: idea from it. And again, my biggest secret weapon is 128 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: actually you. So the emails, the messages, the responses I 129 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: get to my TV segments really help me understand what's 130 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: important to you. And so I find that that is 131 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: a wealth of knowledge. I've been doing a couple of 132 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: reels over the past couple of days, and I've just 133 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: been basing them on stuff that people send me, like, hey, Rich, 134 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: how do I do this on my phone? Oh? Here, 135 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: let me make a reel and show everyone else too. 136 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: So anyway, thank you for sticking with me on this podcast. 137 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: It has been an incredible ride. 138 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: I think the biggest challenge with doing this podcast, and 139 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm going to do a full show here, 140 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: so don't just like tune out. I think the biggest 141 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: challenge with doing the podcast was always the timing of 142 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: the podcast, and towards the end I got it, it 143 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: was Friday mornings basically when I recorded it, but it 144 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: always became an issue of prepping and doing my KTLA 145 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: stuff and also doing the podcast. Now that it is 146 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,119 Speaker 1: a show that's live on the radio at eleven am 147 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: on Saturdays, there's just like there's no avoiding it, like 148 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: that's when it's happening. And so I think men for me, 149 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: that's actually a really good thing because I can plan 150 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: around that. I know, yeah, my weekends are going to 151 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: forever change because of this show, and it's going to 152 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: be tough. You know, I've got a family, I've got kids, 153 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: I've got basketball and baseball games and all kinds of 154 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: other stuff. 155 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: Happening. 156 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: You know, my weekends are no longer mine, and so 157 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: it will be a challenge, but I think it's going 158 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: to be a good thing and I'm very excited to 159 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: do it. 160 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: So thank you, and I will. 161 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: When it comes to the RSS feed, I know it's 162 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: getting very technical, but when it comes to like the 163 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: feed of this show, I expect to be able to 164 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: just change the feed from whatever it is now to 165 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: the new feed and hopefully that should just carry over 166 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: on your phone or your podcast reader. So we'll see 167 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: if that happens. All right, let's get to the first 168 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: story of the week, Last Pass. Oh my gosh, Last Past. 169 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: They cannot catch a break. So basically, the hack that 170 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: we talked about a couple of weeks ago is much 171 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: worse than they thought. So according to tech Crunch, the 172 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: Last has confirmed that cyber criminals stole its customers encrypted 173 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: password vaults, which store customer passwords and other things. You know, 174 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: you might have notes in there on stuff, and you know, 175 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: different things that you can store in that vault. It's 176 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: like a secure vault. So they updated their blog post 177 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: and they said that the bad actors took a copy 178 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: of customer vault data by using cloud storage keys stolen 179 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: from a Last Pass employee. Oh my gosh. So now 180 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: the good news is these vaults are encrypted and they 181 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: can only be unlocked with the master password. But the 182 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: problem is sometimes people don't use very good master passwords, 183 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: and that means that these hackers can go through and 184 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: use software to try to break in to your your vault, 185 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: and that means they would reveal all of your passwords. 186 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: So the main thing here is that if you have 187 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: last pass and it might be time to think about 188 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: switching over to a new password manager. But I think 189 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: there's some things you can do to lock this down. 190 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: So number one, you got to change your current master password, 191 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: and you want it to be unique and you want 192 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: it to be long, So don't reuse the same password, 193 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: and don't make it simple. You might think, oh, I 194 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: can make it simple because whatever, just don't do that. 195 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: The other thing is that if you think that your 196 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: password is weak and the passwords inside your last Pass 197 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: vault were compromised, you might want to start going on 198 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: the websites that you know, the important ones at least 199 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: and changing those passwords, like you're banking and stuff like that. 200 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 2: If you're using strong passwords, on those. 201 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: If your vault was cracked, they would still be able 202 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: to get into those, So that's a problem too. And 203 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: the other thing is that if you're using two factor authentication, 204 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: you're actually a lot safer in this scenario, which you 205 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: should be. I talk about this over and over. Please 206 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: use two factor. I know it's not perfect, but it's 207 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: the best we have right now. And so if you're 208 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: using two factor, you're probably safer than the average bear. 209 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: Because let's say that you had a week past word 210 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: on your last past vault. They figured out that password, 211 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: and once they get in, it's going to say, okay, 212 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: we'll give us the two factor, and then they don't 213 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: have that. So you should be okay in that scenario. 214 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: But again, change your master password to something more secure, 215 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: and for any major website that supports it, please use 216 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: two factor. And the safest way is really to use 217 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: one of those authentication apps. But again, look, and I 218 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: don't claim to be an expert in any of this stuff. 219 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm kind of swimming alongside you, and you know, I'm 220 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: doing the best I can with trying to just secure 221 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: this stuff in the means and ways that I have. 222 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: But from everything I've been told number one twelve to 223 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: sixteen characters. 224 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: That's what you want. 225 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: That's the magic number for your generated passwords. You know, 226 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: use a bunch of random digits and numbers and all 227 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And then when it comes to 228 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: two factor, the authentication app is safer than the standard 229 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, texting you a code. And also when it 230 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: comes to those security questions, don't ever give out the 231 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: real answers. The best tip I got was from the 232 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: CEO of Bitwarden. He said, just use your password manager 233 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: to generate random answers and paste those in there. And 234 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: then of course you have to keep those safe so 235 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: that you can get those. So if it's saying your 236 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: favorite place to vacation instead of saying Paris, you know, 237 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: it would be like explanation point x z Y, two 238 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: ampersand whatever. And I know that's very complicated. But with 239 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: a good password manager, you can save all those answers 240 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: and paste them in when you need them. If it 241 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: gives you answers to choose, from which a lot of 242 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: these things do just give the wrong answers, and you know, 243 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: take a screenshot and save that, or save those answers 244 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: that you've given. I know it gets very very tricky 245 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: and complicated, and it takes you forever to log back in, 246 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: but I'm telling you it's worth it. All right, Let's 247 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: get to the first question of the show. Mike says, 248 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: good afternoon, Rich. I'm an avid viewer on KTLA five 249 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: and your web page ever since the twenty dollars wise 250 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: Cam review. I to use my Apple twelve cell phone 251 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: from my home and I'm noticing in the upper right 252 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: hand corner near the battery, I'm getting the SOS in 253 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: upper case, and I'm wondering, what the heck I thought 254 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: it was only on the Apple fourteen SOS availability Mike, Mike, 255 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: great question, and this is actually something I need to 256 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: address in a reels or on an Instagram story because 257 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: it's very confusing. So there's two things we're talking about here. 258 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: Number One, with iOS sixteen, Apple changed the way emergency 259 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: services looks on your menu bar. They now put an 260 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: SOS in the upper right hand corner where the signal 261 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: bar used to be. When you don't have a standard signal, 262 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: but you also still have a cellular signal that could 263 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: still be used in case of an emergency, hence the 264 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: SOS and the background on that is Basically, here in 265 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: the US, let's say a Verizon subscriber, you don't have 266 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: a Verizon signal, so typically your show would your phone 267 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: would show no signal. But there's a law in the 268 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: US that says your phone can reach out on any 269 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: carrier network. And in the US we basically have three 270 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: of them. We have Verizon, we have AT and T, 271 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: and we have T Mobile, and to a lesser extent, 272 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: I think there's still a bit of sprint lingering around, 273 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: and so your phone, as long as it can reach 274 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: out to any of those networks, if it has the 275 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: antennas to do that, could call nine on one through 276 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: AT and T, even if you're a Verizon subscriber, And 277 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: not many people realize that, but basically, even an unactivated 278 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: phone that you have in a drawer, as long as it, 279 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: you know, can latch onto a cell signal, it would 280 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: still be able to dial nine one one. So that's 281 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: just the law here in the US. In some countries, 282 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: like I think Japan, doesn't allow phones that are unactivated 283 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: to dial nine on one because that could be an issue. 284 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: So but here in the US that's the way it works. 285 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: So the reality is the SOS means like Hey, your 286 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: phone can still dial nine one one even though you 287 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: don't have a signal from your carrier. Now there's a 288 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: secondary logo, and this is the logo that's reserved for 289 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: the iPhone fourteen and up at this point, which there 290 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: isn't an up but I'm just planning for the future. 291 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: But there's a satellite logo that would sit next to 292 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: that SOS logo, And that satellite logo means that, oh, 293 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: you don't have a cellular signal from anywhere, but you 294 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: do have a satellite signal. You have satellite availability where 295 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: you can aim your phone towards the open sky and 296 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: send a message for help that way. And so I 297 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: agree it's confusing. I feel like there's gonna be some 298 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: more messaging around this and some more explanation. But that's 299 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: the reason why you're seeing SOS on your phone, Mike, 300 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: You're not seeing the satellite on your phone. Only iPhone 301 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: fourteen users would use this would be able to see 302 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: that satellite. And once you see that satellite, that means 303 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: that you don't have a traditional cellular signal, but you 304 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,119 Speaker 1: do have a satellite signal available to you or potentially 305 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: available to you that you could use to send for help. 306 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: So great question, and I'm glad I was able to 307 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: clear that up. But again, you gave me a great 308 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: idea for a new reel. All right, let's talk YouTube 309 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: paying about two billion dollars a year for NFL Sunday Ticket. 310 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: This is something that DirecTV has had for many, many years, 311 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: I think since nineteen ninety four. Whoo. And the reason 312 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: why it worked so well with DirecTV is because once 313 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: they sold you on this satellite system, you were basically 314 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: stuck for a couple of years, and so they would 315 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: get people in, they would luwer them in with this 316 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: NFL Sunday Ticket, and once they installed that satellite on 317 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,479 Speaker 1: your roof and you had a couple of years contract, 318 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: it was a pretty good situation for DirecTV because they 319 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: knew that those customers were not going anywhere anytime soon. 320 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: That's why I think it's so interesting that YouTube is 321 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: paying so much for this on something they're probably not 322 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: going to recoup the costs on. Like, is this thing 323 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: still worth two billion dollars? 324 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 2: I'm not sure it is. 325 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: But what Sunday Ticket is is basically you will have 326 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: access or subscribers have access to all of the home 327 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: all of the games on Sunday that the NFL is playing, 328 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: except their home team. So if you live in Los Angeles, 329 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: you would not have access to the home teams here, 330 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: which are the Rams and the Chargers, so you'd have 331 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: access to all the other games that you want to watch. 332 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: So let's say you move from Philadelphia. You'd still be 333 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: able to watch your home team from there even though 334 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: you live here, which is typically not available. 335 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: But the idea is that you would still. 336 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: Have access to the Rams and the Chargers, just on 337 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: local channels or through ESPN or wherever that game is playing. 338 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: So it's very, very complicated. We're kind of tiptoeing to 339 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: this world where everything is available everywhere, but with sports, 340 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: there's such a large amount of money involved that nobody 341 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: wants wants to be the first to give up everything 342 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: because they know that once they do that, they're never 343 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: going back. But we've seen baseball games going to Apple TV. 344 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: Plus we've seen Thursday Night Football going to Amazon, and 345 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: there's change happening. It's just not happening as fast as 346 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: I'd like to see. But you will be able to 347 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: watch these games on YouTube and YouTube TV. So let 348 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: me explain how that's gonna work Number one YouTube license 349 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: the deal for seven years, so they're gonna be paying 350 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: about two billion dollars a year for seven years. That's 351 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: a lot of cash. But if anyone has it, I 352 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: guess Google does. So they haven't said how much this 353 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: is going to cost, but the previous price was about 354 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: three hundred dollars. They also had a four hundred dollars 355 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: price tag for a separate kind of like even more 356 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: NFL content. But YouTube TV, if you're a subscriber to that, 357 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: that's pretty simple. It's just gonna be an odd on 358 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: like you would, like you would subscribe to NBA League 359 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: Pass or HBO Max or Stars or whatever these things are, 360 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: you would just subscribe to it. It would show up 361 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: on your channels. Now, YouTube has this thing that many 362 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: people don't know about called primetime channels, and so you're 363 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: able to actually subscribe to a whole bunch of premium 364 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: channels through YouTube now as of like last month, and 365 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: so this will be an add on through that. 366 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: And so. 367 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: You know, you could just basically watch this on your 368 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: regular YouTube app, but it would be a premium offering 369 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: through that. How's this going to work? So let's put 370 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: it this way. According to the Wall Street Journal, YouTube 371 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: has two billion users and five million subscribers for YouTube tv, 372 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: so that's not a lot of people. Direct tv has 373 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: thirteen point five million subscribers, which is a tiny fraction 374 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: of what they used to have Five years ago, they 375 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: had more than twenty million customers. So is there any 376 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: possible way that they could recoup two billion dollars through 377 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: their two billion users and five million subscriber. 378 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: Maybe, especially with the YouTube accounts. 379 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: But I think the biggest thing here that I like 380 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: about this deal is that YouTube is just kind of 381 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: the ideal video player on the Internet. It's just it's 382 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: second only to Netflix. 383 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: Those are the two. 384 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: I would actually argue that YouTube might even be better. 385 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: But YouTube and Netflix are kind of the gold standards 386 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: for video players on the web. And so the fact 387 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: that you'll now be able to access these games so 388 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: simply and through a really clean player that works really 389 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: well on any connection, I think is the big win here. 390 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: And if the price is a little bit less, that'll 391 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: be great. But the fact that it's on such a 392 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: platform that's on any device you can ever imagine, I 393 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: think that's the big win here. So we'll say sports 394 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: are a change in that is for sure, all right, 395 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: Benita says, good morning. I have a new iPhone fourteen 396 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: and need to back up my old phone before I change. 397 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: Is there a safe app that deletes duplicate photos I 398 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: can use? I'm afraid of deleting pictures. Thank you sent 399 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: for my iPhone. Absolutely. I got a couple of questions 400 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: about deleting duplicate photos, so I just actually made a 401 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: reel on my Instagram at rich on Tech all about this. 402 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: Two ways you can tackle this problem. Number one, well, 403 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: you kind of said you need to back up your 404 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: old phone before you change. So number one, when you 405 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: switch from iPhone to iPhone, the process is like really 406 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: easy nowadays. It basically uses either your iCloud backup or 407 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: a super fast Wi Fi direct connection to transfer all 408 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: of your data. So it's really simple and it's pretty 409 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: fool proof. But there are issues that happen, so I 410 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: would definitely recommend backing up your phone. Make sure that 411 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: your old iPhone has done a complete backup to iCloud. 412 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: And the way that you can see if that's if 413 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: that has happened is you go into settings on your 414 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: iPhone and then you tap iCloud. Oh wow, what's going 415 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: on there? Okay, then you tap iCloud and then you 416 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: tap uh, let's see do you tap iCloud again, and 417 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: then you can go to device backups. It says iCloud 418 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: backup and it says last successful backup for me was 419 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: yesterday at eight fifteen pm. And so I can see 420 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: all my other devices that I have that have been 421 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: backed up on here as well. And so make sure 422 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: your iPhone is backed up number one. That's first and foremost. 423 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: Then let's get into deleting the duplicate pictures. There's two 424 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: ways you can do this. If you have iOS sixteen 425 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: on your phone, you can tap the photos app. You 426 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: can go into albums, scroll all the way down and 427 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: you'll see under utilities it says duplicates, and you can 428 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: go through and manage your duplicates there. I don't find 429 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: that that's very good at all. It's very very basic 430 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: and it's probably not going to do a very good job. 431 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: So what I would recommend there's an app called Gemini 432 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: Gemni and Gemini sort of works under the freemium model, 433 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: so yes, you will get access to see what this 434 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: app can do, but you might have to pay a 435 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: little bit to actually use it, but it is well 436 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: worth the cash because it is phenomenal. Once it scans 437 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 1: your library, you can see similar picks, duplicate picks, videos, screenshots, notes, 438 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: other and blurry picks. And then you can go through 439 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: and tap into your similar picks. You can delete the 440 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: ones that are similar. You can go into your duplicates. 441 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: You can merge those or delete the duplicates, whatever you 442 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: want to do. 443 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: You can also go through in. 444 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: The videos and sort by largest videos and delete a 445 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: couple of those, just to free up a whole bunch 446 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: of space immediately on your phone. Again, the app is 447 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: called Gemini. It is the best when it comes to 448 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: finding duplicates and managing your stuff. I think that that 449 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: is the phenomenal best way to do it. Bonita, have 450 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: a great time upgrading your phone. Enjoy the iPhone fourteen. 451 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: It is a fantastic device. All right, Let's talk about 452 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: three smartphone hacks to save you big, big bucks. All right, 453 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: So whenever I see a couple of things happening online, 454 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: I'm always like, all right, I gotta do a story 455 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: about that. So I did this story today on KTLA 456 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: about three tips that I have used myself, but also 457 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: have been justified by other folks who also posted similar tips. So, 458 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: first off, George Campbell, this is a Ramsey Solutions personality. 459 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: You know me. I love Dave Ramsey. 460 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: I love the whole you know, debt free lifestyle, all 461 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And following a lot of what 462 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: Dave says, I can't say I do it perfectly. I 463 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: do have a credit card, I will admit that. But 464 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't try to play the points game as much 465 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: as many people. 466 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 2: I know. 467 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: There are so many people that give me a hard 468 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: time because they're like, oh, why aren't you doing that 469 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: for the point And I'm like, ah, because I know 470 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: it's really I get it, and it's just one of 471 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: those things where whatever it is, what it is. But 472 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: I do like Dave Ramsey and I have been listening 473 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: to him and I do feel like he's actually changed 474 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: my financial life, and so I am thankful for that. 475 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: But George is you know, he's got all these you know, 476 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: Dave is going to retire at some point, so he's 477 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: got all these up and comers that are sort of 478 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: taking over and kind of weaving into the show. And 479 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: George Campbell is one of them. And I find him 480 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: to be a really good radio personality and also Instagram 481 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: person and all that good stuff. So he's doing a 482 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: great job over there. Anyway, he posted a tip that 483 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: I really liked. I've known about Google Lens forever, but 484 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: he was saying, basically, if you snap a picture of 485 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: something that you want on Google Lens, you can use 486 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: it to not just check the price, but also find 487 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: that item across various retailers and maybe even cheaper than 488 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: what you would typically pay for that. So let's say 489 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: he gave the example of a pair of boots. You 490 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: see a pair of boots that you love, you take 491 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: a picture of it with the Google lens. It scans 492 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: the Internet and finds those boots across a whole bunch 493 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: of stores. Now, the fancy schmancy boots that sell for 494 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: three hundred dollars may also be selling at Kohl's for 495 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: fifty five dollars because it's not exactly the same boots 496 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: from the designer that you originally wanted, but they're just 497 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: as good, they look just is good, and they're a 498 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: whole lot cheaper. So that's the first tip. Open up 499 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: the Google app on your iPhone, tap the camera icon, 500 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: and scan stuff with Google lens, and this could be anything. 501 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: You can scan a building, you can scan a pair 502 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 1: of things for shopping. You can scan something that a 503 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: look that you want. You go to someone's house, you 504 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: really like the lamp they have, you can scan that. 505 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: I mean, it's really quite phenomenal because, let's face it, 506 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: Google has the entire Internet indexed and if something is 507 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: out there, they know where to find it. 508 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: On Android, it's a lot easier. 509 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: You just have to tap the camera search icon or 510 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: the camera icon in the search bar on your home screen. 511 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 2: And so great tip there. 512 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: I've been using this a lot more ever since I 513 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: saw George feature it, and even though I've been using 514 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: Google Lends forever, I do think it is way more 515 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: powerful than I ever imagined. An app called flip flipp 516 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: This is an app that I use from time to time. 517 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: It's an app that lets you see all the digital 518 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: versions of sale flyers that arrive in your mailbox, so 519 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: you can search through these sale and how is that useful? Well, 520 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: the other day I needed razors and I like the Geelette. 521 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: I know, the top of the line Gelette Profusion five 522 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: blade razors that are so ridiculous. I don't know why 523 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: they're so expensive, but they are and they've been out 524 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: for you know, fifteen years, but they're still really expensive, 525 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: and so, you know, I like to find them. I 526 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: was ordering them on Subscribe and Save on Amazon, but 527 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: then it occurred to me, I'm like, you know what, 528 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: I bet you some of these retailers have these as 529 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: a loss leader in their store to gets you in 530 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: at a cheaper price. And sure enough, I searched to 531 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: Lette on the flip app and it came up with 532 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: a really good deal at CVS. And not only were 533 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: the razors like fifty percent off, but they also had 534 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: like a ten dollars off your razor purchase of like 535 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: twenty five dollars or more. And when I combine those 536 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: two things, I got these razors for like, you know, 537 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: a fraction of the price that I would pay for 538 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: them on Amazon. So I went I drove over to 539 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: cvses you have to go to a local store. They 540 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: also do online deals, but I find that this works 541 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: better for in store deals, and so I went over 542 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: to CVS. 543 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 2: I went to the cashier. 544 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: I tried not to spend extra money at the store 545 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: as I walked through, because that's the downside of going 546 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: to an in store shopping experience is that you're probably 547 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: going to spend more money on all this stuff they 548 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: try to sell you on whilst you walk through the store. Anyway, 549 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: to do this hack and it worked out great, so 550 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: and I did this twice. I also did it for 551 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: tide pods. My wife wanted to order them on Amazon. 552 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: I said, hey, let me try my little hack on 553 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: flip and see if I can find these in store. 554 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: And sure enough, again as cvs, they were three dollars 555 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: and seventy nine cents. And yes, I did the math. 556 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: I divided up the price by how many you get 557 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: in the pack, and I did that for Amazon and 558 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: a couple other places, and sure enough, it was like 559 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: three dollars seventy nine cents for you know, sixteen of 560 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: these or whatever it was. And it came out the 561 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: price per pod was cheaper than anywhere else I could find. 562 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: And so I did that. 563 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: My wife, of course, rolled her eyes at me, and 564 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: I said, hey, I just saved us like two bucks, 565 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: so and you can save more. You know, you might 566 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: save two, you might save five, you might save ten, 567 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: and you might save one. 568 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: Hundred at at some point. So use this hack. 569 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: Open up the flip app search for the specific brand 570 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: that you want, and it will show you where that 571 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: item is a deal near you. And it's not going 572 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: to work every time, but you know, if you like 573 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: a certain deodorant or a certain razor, or you're looking 574 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: for a certain you know, appliance, like a coffee grinder, 575 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: whatever it is, especially when it's a specific brand name, 576 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: this is a good way to do it. If you 577 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: want to see where your favorite Starbucks coffee is on 578 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: sale whatever retailers near you. 579 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 2: Just just try it flip flipp all right. 580 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: The final one, and this one I knew about before 581 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: my friend Jennifer Jolly posted about it, but I just 582 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: love it. I almost wanted to keep this one a 583 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: secret because I love it so much. But price matching. Now, 584 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: price matching is not a new concept. My dad was 585 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: doing this back in the day with Crazy at Ease. 586 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: You would get a newspaper, you get the Sunday New 587 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: York Times or whatever the newspaper was. They had all 588 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: the prices listed for all electronics in the back pages 589 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: of this newspaper and it was in tiny, tiny print. 590 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: You would bring it to Crazy Eddies and you say, hey, 591 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: I just found this Oinkyo receiver for ten dollars less 592 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: than what you're selling it for, and they're like, well, yeah, 593 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: you'd have to drive into New York City and buy 594 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: it at that retailer, but you know, I'm right here. 595 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: Can you just price match? 596 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: And they'd talk to the manager and they say, all right, fine, 597 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: we'll give you that receiver for eleven dollars off just 598 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: to beat their price, and you'd come home a happy customer. 599 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: You felt like you saved a lot of money and 600 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,719 Speaker 1: it was great. You could do the same thing at 601 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: Target with their app. So if you're inside Target, download 602 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: the Target app, which I highly recommend in general anyway, 603 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: and when you're buying something of any value in their store, 604 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: so we're talking something that's like twenty five dollars and up, 605 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: give it a scan and just scan the barcode on 606 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: that item. It will with the Target app and it 607 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: will show you how much Target is selling that item 608 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: for on its website, and you will be really really 609 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: surprised that a lot of times the Target website is 610 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: cheaper than what the store is offering. And the reason 611 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: for this is that when you're in the store, most 612 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: people are not comparing prices to online. But if you do, 613 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: if you're online, you know Google is indexing all these prices. 614 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: So if you're searching for something online, the Target website 615 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: has to be just as competitive and in line with 616 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: its competitors like Amazon and best Buy and Walmart and 617 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: so a lot of times the prices will be many 618 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: much more dynamic online. But the reality is, if you're 619 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: in Target, they will match their price that they're selling 620 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: it online. They'll match a competitors price as well. But 621 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: the easiest one is just to scan for their own price. 622 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: So Jennifer Jolly posted this hack on her Instagram and 623 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: it was great. She's a Tech Life columnist and she 624 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: does stuff for the Today Show. But I loved it, 625 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: and I use this. The other day I bought a bike. 626 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't think my kid listens to this podcast, so 627 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: I can just say I bought a bike at Target. 628 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. The bike was three hundred and fifty 629 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: dollars on the shelf, and it was one hundred and 630 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: sixty five dollars on their website. 631 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 2: And I will tell you. 632 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: How I figured out that the bike was even on 633 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: sale at Target. I'll tell you this right now. I 634 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: use the first hack. I scanned the bike with the 635 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: Google Lens app. I was in another store and I 636 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: was like, all right, we're gonna buy my kid a bike. 637 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: Let me just just for fun, let me just scan 638 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: this bike to see what the price is online. 639 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: And I saw a similar bike at Target for one. 640 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: Hundred and sixty five and like, wait a second, let's 641 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: just go to Target and see. And my wife was like, 642 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: you sure this could be off, Like we're right here. 643 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: I said, let's just try it. And we tried it, 644 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: and sure enough, the bike was in stock. It was there. 645 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: I could not believe that this saved us so much money. 646 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: So again, and I've done this a couple of times 647 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: with different things at Target. It works like a charm. 648 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 2: So definitely do that. And if you want to see 649 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 2: that story, just go to my website. Rich on tech 650 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 2: dot tv. 651 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the next question of the podcast. 652 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: Samsung G four Flip is the head line of the 653 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: or this subject line of the email. Hey Rich, I 654 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: just bought the new Flip phone from Samsung, and I 655 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: love it because it's compact and it takes great pictures. 656 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: One of my friends asked me, how long do they 657 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: guarantee the flip to keep working and not break. I 658 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: didn't even bother to ask of the time, because it didn't. 659 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: Occur to me. 660 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: I guess I should have. Do you have the answer? 661 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: Is there someone at Samsung you can ask? Thanks so much, Paula, Well, PAULA, 662 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: great question. I don't have to ask someone at Samsung 663 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: because they put the information online. Excuse me, how many 664 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: times can the By the way, with the new radio show, 665 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: there is a cough button and so I was learning 666 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: the ins and outs of radio, so I can do 667 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: this and there's a little button that I can press 668 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: and it will basically clip out my microphone while I 669 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: can cough. It's like there's actually a cough button, and 670 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: I need it because, as you know if you follow 671 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 1: me on social media, I recently had COVID and I 672 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: was quite fine during the span of that illness, but 673 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: I did get a fever I got I was really 674 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: sick like the first day, but after that I was 675 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: pretty much okay. I mean, I was sick, but it was, 676 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, it was manageable. I watched a bunch of 677 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: movies and TV shows and just kind of sat on 678 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: the couch and ate a lot of food because it's 679 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: an excuse to do that and drank a lot of 680 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, hydrating liquids. And when I was done with it, 681 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: I had this lingering cough which is still not gone away, 682 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: which is just wild. 683 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 2: And I was reading about it. 684 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: And basically, your lungs are sort of your your immune 685 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: system and your lungs are sort of inflamed from this illness, 686 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: and so it takes a while for them to kind 687 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: of come back to zero and kind of the place 688 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: that they, you know, are at a daily basis, and 689 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: so it does. I've been coughing like it's just wild anyway, 690 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: So I apologize for that cough. But go to the 691 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: website Samsung dot com says how many times can the 692 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: Galaxy Z fold for and Galaxy Z flip four be 693 00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: folded and unfolded? The answer is the lifespan depends on 694 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: how users utilize their devices. However, it's been proven they 695 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: can withstand over two hundred thousand folds before failing. There 696 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 1: you go, This sequels one hundred folds daily for five years. Now, 697 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: that use case scenario will of course depend on how 698 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: you open and close your phone. I found the phone 699 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: that you purchased, the G four flip Galaxy Flip four 700 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: to be. 701 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 2: An excellent phone. 702 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: In fact, this was one of my favorite phones of 703 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. If you go to my website rich 704 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 1: on tech dot TV, look up my riches recommended gadgets list, 705 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: which I keep on Amazon. It is on there because 706 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:38,479 Speaker 1: I love this phone. Now. 707 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 2: I think the camera is excellent. 708 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's up to my creator level standards, 709 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: which the iPhone fourteen Pro is pretty much the only 710 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: video camera this year that I think could live up 711 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: to doing what I need to do for Instagram and TV. 712 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: But the Galaxy, both the Fold four and the Flip 713 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: four I was very very impressed with and I loved 714 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: both of those devices, and I am almost ready to 715 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: dive in. The Fold four was a bit bigger for me, 716 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: and I thought it was really cool as a I mean, 717 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. I just think it needs to 718 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,959 Speaker 1: be thinner when it's folded. The Flip four, I thought 719 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: was absolutely perfect. It just for me personally, I needed 720 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: a better video camera and I just wasn't ready to 721 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: give up some of that some of that for this phone. 722 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 1: But I think that for the average user, I think 723 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: it is just a great little device, and if you 724 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: want to dive into the whole foldable arena. 725 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 2: That is a great way to do it. All right, 726 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 2: we're getting through. 727 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: Oh you know what, let's let's get to this next 728 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: story that I think kind of blends in with that 729 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: or kind of I don't know what the word is 730 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: transitions from what I just was talking about. So, which 731 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: smartphone is the best camera this year? MKBHD? You know 732 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm better as Marquez Brownlee or sorry, Marquez Brownlee, you 733 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: know I'm better as MKBHD. On YouTube, he's one of 734 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: the top tech YouTubers in the world. Every year he 735 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: does this blind camera test with all the top smartphones, 736 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 1: and this year he put fourteen to them to the test. 737 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: In years past, it wasn't as scientific. This year he 738 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: made it much more scientific, and it was a It 739 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 1: was a doozy. I actually tried voting in this blind 740 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,720 Speaker 1: camera test and it took so long that I actually 741 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: thought there was a problem. I was like, wait, what 742 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: is going on here? And I guess I should have 743 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: read the directions more. But basically, I'm not going to 744 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: go through how they tested. But they collected over twenty 745 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: one million votes and they kept making you vote until 746 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 1: you had a basically a scientifically proven favorite, and then 747 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: they stopped your voting, and so it was it was 748 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: really interesting, but they made people vote in best overall, 749 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: best HDR, and best portrait. So let's just get to 750 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: the bottom line. The best phone this year for a 751 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: camera overall is the Google Pixel six A. Notice I 752 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: didn't say the top of the line Google seven or 753 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: seven pro, the six A. This is their budget smartphone, 754 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 1: and it's the smartphone that I said in my review 755 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,720 Speaker 1: was absolutely fantastic, and I said it was the best 756 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: overall smartphone, budget smartphone for people this year. Combination of 757 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: price and camera, this thing was just phenomenal. And it's cheap. 758 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean when I reviewed it, it was four ninety nine. 759 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: I said, don't buy it if it's less than three 760 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: ninety nine. Let me just get up my Pixel six 761 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: A KTLA. I'm just searching to see. My headline was 762 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: Google's cheapest pixel phone gives a lot for less, and 763 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: I said at the end it was four hundred. It 764 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: was on sale for okay, let's see, it's four hundred 765 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. That's the main price. Okay, I said, 766 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: don't buy unless it drops to three ninety nine, it 767 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: ended up dropping to three point fifty. Now it's as 768 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 1: cheap as two ninety nine. So this is this is 769 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: really a fantastic deal. The second phone that the second 770 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: place was Google Pixel seven Pro, and I think the 771 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: reality is you're like, rich, what about the iPhone? What 772 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: about the iPhone? What about the iPhone? So the let's 773 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: see if we go down the list a little bit, 774 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: Samsung S twenty two Ultra got fifth place, and the 775 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: iPhone fourteen Pro got seventh place. The A sus zen 776 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: Phone nine got third place, So again Pixel six A, 777 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: Pixel seven Pro, a sus zen Phone nine, then Galaxy 778 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: S twenty two Ultra fifth place, iPhone fourteen Pro seventh place. 779 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: So you're like, rich, wow, what's the deal here? I 780 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: will tell you, as someone who has used the iPhone 781 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 1: fourteen Pro for a majority of this year, it takes 782 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 1: I think, I feel like overall when they're saying overall 783 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: for the Pixel six A, this did not take into 784 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: account video, and so I would say overall, the overall 785 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: best camera system is the iPhone fourteen Pro. For sure. 786 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm I will tell you that I've used it all year. 787 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: It is really something that can't be matched. Things get close, 788 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: but they don't match the ease, the speed, and the 789 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: consistency of the iPhone fourteen Pro. As an overall, I'm 790 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: talking a combination of still pictures and video pictures. Now, 791 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: if you're just talking up pictures or video, sorry, if 792 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: you're just talking pictures, Yes, the Google Pixel six A 793 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: and the seven Pro. I think the reason why these 794 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: get so high in such high marks is because the 795 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: pixel photos just have a certain magical quality to them. 796 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 1: Like Google does a lot of post processing. They're basically 797 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: editing all your photos for you, and they just know 798 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: how to make them pop and look really really good. 799 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: And I'm talking the shadows, the brightness, the contrast, the details. 800 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: It is all there and it's all really really good. Now, 801 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: the iPhone does a really nice job. The Samsung does 802 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,359 Speaker 1: a really nice job, but there are some hits and 803 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: misses along the way. And I think when you talk 804 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: overall the Pixel seven and the six A, they're just 805 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: using a little bit more AI to kind of like 806 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: smooth things out and edit things. And so I think 807 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: if that was lacking in these phones, they would not 808 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: rate as high. But because they process these pictures in 809 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: such a magical AI way. That's what makes them trend 810 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: so high when it comes to these ratings, and you know, 811 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: I have no complaints. I think that you will be 812 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: happy with the Pixel six A, the Pixel seven, the 813 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,439 Speaker 1: Pixel seven Pro if you're more of a power user 814 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: and you want that zoom. The Samsung S twenty two 815 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: Ultra also I love that phone this year. And the 816 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: iPhone fourteen Pro Max or sorry, just Pro I think 817 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: is also really good. The iPhone fourteen I think is 818 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: just fine. I think that it has an okay camera system. 819 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: If you're going to go iPhone, I'd go with the 820 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 1: Pro because it really is. It's a little bit more expensive, 821 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 1: but you're getting really the best that Apple has to offer. 822 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: So there you have it. Those are the best phones 823 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: of the year. But I think I think it really 824 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: comes down to budget and what is most important to you. 825 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: All Right, I want to make sure that I talk 826 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: about all the stories that I mentioned smartphone last past 827 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: Sunday ticket okay. 828 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 2: Good, good, good good, Okay. 829 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Nike Training Club coming to Netflix. So 830 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: this is Netflix is sort of an entree to on 831 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: demand fitness training. December thirtieth, they're gonna be launching videos 832 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: from Nike Training Club on Netflix just in time for 833 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: your news resolution. I think this is great. They're gonna 834 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: have thirty hours of exercise sessions released in two batches. 835 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,240 Speaker 1: It's all from Nike Training Club. So if you're familiar 836 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 1: with Nike Training Club and their apps, which I used 837 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: to use religiously when they were kind of the only 838 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 1: game in town. Now that things like Peloton and Apple 839 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: Fitness Plus have come along, I have not used Nike 840 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: Training in a long time, but it used to be 841 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: my absolute favorite on I'm talking back to the iPod Touch. 842 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: iPod Touch was my favorite to run because it had 843 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: the Nike app and I could run with that on 844 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: this wristband on my shoulder, and I thought it was 845 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: so cool. And then the iPhone came along with that 846 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: same kind of program. I ended up switching to that, 847 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: and then the Nike Band came along. I use that 848 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: at some point. And a little trivia for you, the 849 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,720 Speaker 1: same guy that used to run all the Nike stuff 850 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: now runs Apple Fitness Plus. So there's a lot of 851 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: Nike in Apple Fitness Plus. But now they're a little 852 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,760 Speaker 1: bit more competitors because now Nike has gone to Netflix. 853 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: So look, if you subscribe to Netflix. You're you know 854 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,280 Speaker 1: you see this on your home screen. 855 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 2: Great. 856 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: It may motivate people to do workouts that may not 857 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: have done workouts previously, or may not otherwise do workouts, 858 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: or may not otherwise subscribe to one of the other things. 859 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: And so I think it's a great thing. Do I 860 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: think it's the end all for workouts? No, They've got 861 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: Kickstart Fitness with the Basics, two Week to a Stronger Core, 862 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,760 Speaker 1: Fall in Love with Yoga, Hit Strength, Feel Good Fitness. 863 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a bunch of episodes. They all launch 864 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: December thirtieth, or the first batch. I should if you 865 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: want to search for it, search Nike on Netflix to 866 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 1: see it. They say it'll work for all fitness levels 867 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: and interests, and it's great. It's included in your subscription. 868 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: I think that's awesome. I think that there's better options 869 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: out there. But I love the fact that this is 870 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,399 Speaker 1: going to push a lot of people to sit there 871 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 1: and you know, they're tuning in for Bridgerton or whatever 872 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: else is on that top ten list of trash that 873 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: Netflix puts out there. Just kidding, Oh, I'm just kidding. 874 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 1: It's a joke. My joke is that people watch anything 875 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: that Netflix puts on their homepage and go ahead and 876 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: challenge me on that, but I know you've done it. 877 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: You see these things, these thumbnails, They are so slick. 878 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: They know exactly who you are and what you like, 879 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 1: and they engineer those thumbnails to make it look like 880 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: the program. 881 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:51,879 Speaker 2: Is just for you. 882 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: And so people watch a lot of stuff on Netflix 883 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: that they wouldn't typically watch, and they end up watching 884 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: it because of a lot of reasons. But the reality is, 885 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,400 Speaker 1: if they can apply that same logic to Nike Fitness 886 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,760 Speaker 1: and they'll get people to work out because of it, I'm. 887 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 2: All for it. 888 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,359 Speaker 1: So I think that's a way I will tell you 889 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: in my experience. I am personally I love I love, 890 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 1: love love Peloton. I use the cycling classes on Peloton 891 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: on a regular basis, and I use the treadmill running 892 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: classes on Peloton on a regular basis. When it comes 893 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: to Apple Fitness Plus, I think that the classes there 894 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 1: are excellent, especially when it comes to strength training. I 895 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 1: think those are amazing. I think that Apple Fitness Plus 896 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: is a little bit more polished when it comes to 897 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: the classes versus Peloton, But I think the Peloton trainers 898 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: and the way they do their classes feel a bit 899 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,760 Speaker 1: more off the cuff compared to kind of the slick 900 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: programming that you get on Apple Fitness Plus. 901 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 2: But I also like the search function. 902 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,360 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think, I mean I subscribe to both, 903 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 1: so I use both on a regular basis. I think 904 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: the good for different things. But at the end of 905 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 1: the day, if you are moving throughout the week, for 906 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, thirty minutes a day, whatever they want you 907 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,799 Speaker 1: to do, thirty minutes a couple times a week, whatever 908 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 1: they recommend, absolutely do it. You will always feel. 909 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 2: Better doing that. I'm a big believer in that. 910 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: I am not mister fitness, mister workout, but I do 911 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: like to move because so much of our lives in 912 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: this modern world are sitting and very you know, we go, 913 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: we walk from our house to our car, we get 914 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: in our car, we drive to work, we get to work, 915 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,959 Speaker 1: we sit in a chair at work, we get from work, 916 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 1: we go to home. It's a lot of like, you know, 917 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: non movement. And unless your job is very physical, you know, 918 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: the modern employee is not moving too much. And so 919 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,720 Speaker 1: I will force myself after work to go to the gym, 920 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 1: get on that treadmill, even if I'm not feeling it 921 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: just to do those thirty minutes just to move. And 922 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: I have never come out of that gym, or I've 923 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 1: never come out of my room where I've got a 924 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 1: workout bike feeling like ugh, I wish I didn't do that. 925 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 1: I've never felt that way. So when in doubt, try it. 926 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: It makes you feel better, you know. Even today, I 927 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: know I've got a long day ahead, and I just 928 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 1: know that I will feel better if I somehow get 929 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 1: my movement in anyway. 930 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 2: Did they put me on a soapbox here? I can't. 931 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 2: I can't tell, So that's all right. 932 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 1: Let's see. Ty says, Hey, Rich, I'm looking to buy 933 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 1: a MacBook Air. Do you think it's worth it to 934 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 1: buy the newer M two chip version or just get 935 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 1: the old M one. I mainly need to do all 936 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 1: the work on Google apps and drive, so I don't 937 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 1: need a lot of storage or fancy graphics. Is it 938 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 1: worth the extra three hundred and fifty dollars? I would 939 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: say it's probably not. Now Apple does this thing where 940 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 1: their stuff is really good these days, like especially their 941 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 1: own chips. The M one chip came out and just 942 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,320 Speaker 1: blew away the competition. It's a phenomenal chip. It works 943 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: really well. The MacBook Air got a whole new life 944 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 1: and it's just great. Then they came out with the 945 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: M two chip later on, but they kept the M 946 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 1: one chip to make an entry level price point on 947 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: the MacBook Air that's very appealing. And so when shoppers 948 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: go into the Apple Store, it's a little bit complicated 949 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: because they're sitting there going, well, I don't know, do 950 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,399 Speaker 1: I need the M two? Do I need to spend 951 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 1: all this extra money on this newer computer and this 952 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,760 Speaker 1: newer chip. My advice for most people that are buying 953 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 1: a MacBook Air probably don't need the newer M two chip. 954 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: If you are just doing basic tasks. I'm talking what 955 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 1: Tie is saying here, Google apps, Google drive, web browsing, 956 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of video editing, a little bit of video, 957 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, photo editing, browsing, just basic basic stuff. Working 958 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: with spreadsheets. Now, if you are doing anything where your 959 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: job relies on content creation or any app that is 960 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, requires a lot of horsepower, then absolutely go 961 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: with the M two. The three hundred and fifty dollars 962 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: will be well spent. I think when it comes to 963 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: any of these computers, the most you can get. To 964 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: make these computers work their best for a long period 965 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 1: of time is to get the biggest hard drive you 966 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 1: can afford and the most memory that you can afford. 967 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: Don't discount how important memory is. And I know it's expensive, 968 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,320 Speaker 1: and it's you know, Apple plays these high low games 969 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,880 Speaker 1: where you know you got this great entry level price, 970 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: but you're not getting a lot of specs when it 971 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 1: comes to your hard drive or your memory, and you've 972 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 1: got an upgrade and it feels really expensive. 973 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 2: But I'm telling you that money is well spent. 974 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 1: So ty, I don't know exactly what you're doing on 975 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 1: this thing, but it sounds like you don't need the 976 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: fancy graphics or a lot of storage, So go with 977 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 1: the basic M one. These computers can last a very 978 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 1: long time. My computer that I have now is from 979 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 1: I believe, let's see, it's a MacBook sixteen inch. It 980 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 1: is from twenty nineteen, and I'm holding out. 981 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 2: I'm holding out hope. 982 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,719 Speaker 1: In early twenty twenty three they will come out with 983 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: the M two MacBook Pro in a sixteen ninch model. 984 00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 1: That is the computer that I want. I did not 985 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 1: spring for the fourteen inch M to last year or 986 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,280 Speaker 1: this year I should say. And so I'm holding out 987 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 1: hope that my computer will come along and then I 988 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: will gift this current computer, which is still just perfect, 989 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 1: to my child. And I've gifted my old MacBooks to 990 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: my children, to my family members. Every one of my 991 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: family basically has an old MacBook that I've given them 992 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 1: that still worked just fine when I gave it to them, 993 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: even after I'd used it for about two to four years. 994 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 1: So these things can last a long time if you 995 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 1: take care of them. So take care of them, all right, 996 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,640 Speaker 1: Let's end on a fun, tasty story. Krispy Kreme CEO 997 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,760 Speaker 1: says robots are going to start working at Krispy Kreme's 998 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: in the next eighteen months. They told this to Yahoo Finance. 999 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 1: Krispy Kreme, based in North Carolina, said that they are 1000 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: going to use these robots to maximize the fresh hub 1001 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 1: and spoke model opportunity in the US. And I don't 1002 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 1: know if you've noticed, but krispy Kreme does this thing 1003 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: where they have Krispy Kreme's in convenience stores, grocery stores, 1004 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 1: quick serve restaurants all over the place. Like they don't 1005 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: just have locations. You can get these things everywhere. And 1006 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: the more robots that they can employ to get these 1007 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,800 Speaker 1: donuts made, the more access points they can. 1008 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:22,439 Speaker 2: Be fresh at. 1009 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: And so apparently the automated lines would produce eighteen percent 1010 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: of Krispy Kreme donuts within the next eighteen months. They 1011 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: are going to spend six million dollars on robots, and 1012 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: they expect to recoup two million dollars in savings annually. 1013 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,359 Speaker 1: So they're not going to pay for themselves right off 1014 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,239 Speaker 1: the bat, but it will help. Now, this was news 1015 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 1: to me in this Yahoo Finance article. I did not 1016 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,319 Speaker 1: know that they also own Insomnia Cookies. I did not 1017 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:53,280 Speaker 1: know that, So that's another thing. But they say they stressed, 1018 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: like every good company that starts using robots, they stressed 1019 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: that Krispy Kreme employees are still at the core of 1020 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 1: the business and the intention here is to cut out 1021 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 1: tedious tasks. I hear that over and over, and I 1022 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,839 Speaker 1: hear from you over and over. Why am I trying 1023 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 1: to kill every job in the US with all of 1024 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: these robot stories? And I'm just telling you right now, 1025 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 1: I am not the person that kills the robot or 1026 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: the human employees' jobs with these robot stories. I'm just 1027 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 1: telling you so you understand where the world is going, 1028 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,719 Speaker 1: and I will tell you right now. When it comes 1029 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: to food, we're seeing a huge growth in robot automation 1030 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 1: in the most basic job, so just be aware of that. 1031 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: It is something you need to be aware of. Oh 1032 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:39,880 Speaker 1: my gosh, that is going to do it for this 1033 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: episode of the show. I can't believe it.
