WEBVTT - The trick to answering security questions

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>The last pass hack was worse than initially thought. Sunday

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Ticket going to YouTube, you can bet it won't be free.

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Which smartphone has the best camera in twenty twenty two?

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>The answer might surprise you. Plus your tech questions answered?

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>What's going on on Rich Demiro And this is Rich

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>on Tech. This show where I talk about the tech

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff I think you should know about, and it's where

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I answer the questions you send me. I'm the tech

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles and soon

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>live on radio stations coast to coast. That is right.

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>This is my very last podcast, but also the start

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>of something new. I know, this is so wild. I've

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>been doing this show for over three hundred episodes since

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen, I think it was, and from day one,

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>if you've listened to this show since the first day

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I did it, my goal has always been to make

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>this a useful show and to answer the questions that

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I get so that everyone else can learn from those questions.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>And a big part of that was always live callers. Now,

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>if you were with me in the early days, you

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>know that I experimented a lot with a lot of

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>different ways to take live callers, but it was always

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a challenge because the technology was tricky. Doing it myself

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>was tricky. Screening calls was tricky. Later on, you know,

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I did have a board that would allow me to

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>do it, but the problem was, you know, I did

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>the show at different times, and so it was tough

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to tell people to call in because I didn't really

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>know when I was doing the show, and so it

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>was very vexing to get the live callers. And so

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the idea was always like, Wow, if I could do

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>this on the radio where people knew that they can

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>call in from you know, eleven to two, that would

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>be ideal. And so the idea of doing this show

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>on the radio has always been a dream. Just doing

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>radio in general has always been a dream of mine.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>If you've listened to this, you know that, I mean

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you can just tell because look, I mean, who else,

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, this music is still going. Who else would

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>use things like this, you know, and like all these

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>little sound effects and things.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I just I love radio. It's just fun to me.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>So the reality is, you know, the story Leo Laporte

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 1>retiring from radio and that opened up a time slot

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 1>and KFI Premiere Networks was kind enough to say, hey, Rich,

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>do you want to do your podcast on the radio

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and basically take over this time slot? And so I

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>said absolutely. So the radio show is going to be

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>called Rich on Tech. It's going to be based here

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles at KFI, but it will be heard

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>on stations across the nation. Now I don't know what

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>all those stations are just yet, because basically they have

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>to figure out where that's going to happen. Each station

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>has to say, yeah, well run Rich. She sounds pretty good.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>And so I will share more information as I have it.

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't have all the answers just yet, believe me.

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And if you've been listening to this podcast and wondering,

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>like Rich, what's going on? Why did it take you

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>so long to do another one? It is all consuming

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to figure out how to not only negotiate a new show,

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>but also navigate the steps involved in creating a new

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>radio show. If you've listened to my podcast over the years,

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I think the new show is going to be very,

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>very similar. The biggest difference is that we will have

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>actual callers. There will be a call screen, or there

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>will be people like you can call in. I feel

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>like this show is kind of like office hours for me.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>So you know, Saturday mornings eleven or two. You've got

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>a problem, you can call Rich. You want a opinion,

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you have a question, just call me and we'll work

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>it out. We'll see if I can help you out

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>on it. But my plan, like I said earlier, is

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to make this the most useful show to everyone every week.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to make it packed with tech tips, reviews,

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>cool new apps, websites, information to keep you safe from

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>scams and other online stuff. I had a major scare

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>yesterday with my Google account. I don't know what happened,

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>but I logged onto a Wi Fi and within minutes

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Google shut down my entire computer. I'm talking Chrome, I'm

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>talking every website that is affiliated with Google. It signed

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>me out on all of my devices. So if you're

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>keeping your password in your Gmail for something, you would

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>have a very tough time to recover that password.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's say let's.

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Say you keep I mean, just my point is, there

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>is a scenario where Google, if it detects unusual activity

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>on your account, will log you out across all of

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>your devices everywhere, and you will not have access to anything.

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>And if that happens, you better be prepared. I was

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>grossly unprepared, and it really took me back and I

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>ended up having to spend like ten minutes trying to

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.919
<v Speaker 1>get back into my accounts. Luckily I was able to,

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>but man, it was scary. I mean really really scary.

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 1>So back your stuff up, have your passwords. It asked

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>me for my you know, backup codes that you originally

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that it originally generated when I first signed up with

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>my Google account, like you know, a decade ago. I

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>was like, I don't have those. How am I going

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.359
<v Speaker 1>to find those? I was able to recover my account,

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 1>but wow, was that scary. So just just you know,

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the kind of stuff that I'll talk about. And

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>now that I've experienced that, I have a newfound appreciation

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>for just being really really careful with stuff. And oh

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, that was scary. Anyway, I don't really know

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.359
<v Speaker 1>what happened. Actually, I think it was something on the

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi that just kind of Google was like, ah, ah,

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 1>don't we don't like this. They mentioned malware, but I

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think my system has malware on it anyway, So

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about that kind of stuff. I'm also excited

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to bring on interesting guests. So I'm going to have

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 1>an ever changing array of guests to talk about a

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>wide topic of issues. People that are smarter than me

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>in a wide variety of topics. I will bring them on,

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>i will talk with them. It will be fresh and

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>different and new every single week.

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:28.280
<v Speaker 2>And it's a lot of work.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's you know, just nailing down the guests

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>for the first week was tough, but I've got a

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>great one and I cannot wait. And I'm also going

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to do I want to do a segment where I

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>bring on a smart people and just talk to them

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 1>about stuff and how they run their lives and what

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 1>they do. So it's going to be I think, really

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>as long as I enjoy it, that's the main thing.

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>If I'm learning, if I'm growing from this show, I

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 1>feel like you will too. And that's kind of the

0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>idea from it. And again, my biggest secret weapon is

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>actually you. So the emails, the messages, the responses I

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>get to my TV segments really help me understand what's

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>important to you. And so I find that that is

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a wealth of knowledge. I've been doing a couple of

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>reels over the past couple of days, and I've just

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>been basing them on stuff that people send me, like, hey, Rich,

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>how do I do this on my phone? Oh? Here,

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>let me make a reel and show everyone else too.

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, thank you for sticking with me on this podcast.

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>It has been an incredible ride.

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest challenge with doing this podcast, and

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I'm going to do a full show here,

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>so don't just like tune out. I think the biggest

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>challenge with doing the podcast was always the timing of

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the podcast, and towards the end I got it, it

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>was Friday mornings basically when I recorded it, but it

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>always became an issue of prepping and doing my KTLA

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>stuff and also doing the podcast. Now that it is

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.119
<v Speaker 1>a show that's live on the radio at eleven am

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>on Saturdays, there's just like there's no avoiding it, like

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that's when it's happening. And so I think men for me,

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that's actually a really good thing because I can plan

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>around that. I know, yeah, my weekends are going to

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>forever change because of this show, and it's going to

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>be tough. You know, I've got a family, I've got kids,

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I've got basketball and baseball games and all kinds of

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 1>other stuff.

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Happening.

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, my weekends are no longer mine, and so

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it will be a challenge, but I think it's going

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a good thing and I'm very excited to

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>do it.

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>So thank you, and I will.

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to the RSS feed, I know it's

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 1>getting very technical, but when it comes to like the

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>feed of this show, I expect to be able to

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>just change the feed from whatever it is now to

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the new feed and hopefully that should just carry over

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>on your phone or your podcast reader. So we'll see

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.839
<v Speaker 1>if that happens. All right, let's get to the first

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 1>story of the week, Last Pass. Oh my gosh, Last Past.

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:52.319
<v Speaker 1>They cannot catch a break. So basically, the hack that

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>we talked about a couple of weeks ago is much

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 1>worse than they thought. So according to tech Crunch, the

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Last has confirmed that cyber criminals stole its customers encrypted

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>password vaults, which store customer passwords and other things. You know,

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you might have notes in there on stuff, and you know,

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>different things that you can store in that vault. It's

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>like a secure vault. So they updated their blog post

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.199
<v Speaker 1>and they said that the bad actors took a copy

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 1>of customer vault data by using cloud storage keys stolen

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.959
<v Speaker 1>from a Last Pass employee. Oh my gosh. So now

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the good news is these vaults are encrypted and they

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>can only be unlocked with the master password. But the

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 1>problem is sometimes people don't use very good master passwords,

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and that means that these hackers can go through and

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>use software to try to break in to your your vault,

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>and that means they would reveal all of your passwords.

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>So the main thing here is that if you have

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>last pass and it might be time to think about

0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>switching over to a new password manager. But I think

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>there's some things you can do to lock this down.

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>So number one, you got to change your current master password,

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and you want it to be unique and you want

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>it to be long, So don't reuse the same password,

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and don't make it simple. You might think, oh, I

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>can make it simple because whatever, just don't do that.

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>The other thing is that if you think that your

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>password is weak and the passwords inside your last Pass

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>vault were compromised, you might want to start going on

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>the websites that you know, the important ones at least

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and changing those passwords, like you're banking and stuff like that.

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 2>If you're using strong passwords, on those.

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>If your vault was cracked, they would still be able

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to get into those, So that's a problem too. And

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.319
<v Speaker 1>the other thing is that if you're using two factor authentication,

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.959
<v Speaker 1>you're actually a lot safer in this scenario, which you

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>should be. I talk about this over and over. Please

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>use two factor. I know it's not perfect, but it's

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the best we have right now. And so if you're

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>using two factor, you're probably safer than the average bear.

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Because let's say that you had a week past word

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.839
<v Speaker 1>on your last past vault. They figured out that password,

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and once they get in, it's going to say, okay,

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll give us the two factor, and then they don't

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>have that. So you should be okay in that scenario.

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>But again, change your master password to something more secure,

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.199
<v Speaker 1>and for any major website that supports it, please use

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>two factor. And the safest way is really to use

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>one of those authentication apps. But again, look, and I

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.320
<v Speaker 1>don't claim to be an expert in any of this stuff.

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of swimming alongside you, and you know, I'm

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>doing the best I can with trying to just secure

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 1>this stuff in the means and ways that I have.

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>But from everything I've been told number one twelve to

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>sixteen characters.

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what you want.

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>That's the magic number for your generated passwords. You know,

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>use a bunch of random digits and numbers and all

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. And then when it comes to

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>two factor, the authentication app is safer than the standard

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, texting you a code. And also when it

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>comes to those security questions, don't ever give out the

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>real answers. The best tip I got was from the

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>CEO of Bitwarden. He said, just use your password manager

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>to generate random answers and paste those in there. And

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 1>then of course you have to keep those safe so

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 1>that you can get those. So if it's saying your

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>favorite place to vacation instead of saying Paris, you know,

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it would be like explanation point x z Y, two

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>ampersand whatever. And I know that's very complicated. But with

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a good password manager, you can save all those answers

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and paste them in when you need them. If it

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>gives you answers to choose, from which a lot of

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 1>these things do just give the wrong answers, and you know,

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>take a screenshot and save that, or save those answers

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that you've given. I know it gets very very tricky

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and complicated, and it takes you forever to log back in,

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>but I'm telling you it's worth it. All right, Let's

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>get to the first question of the show. Mike says,

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>good afternoon, Rich. I'm an avid viewer on KTLA five

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.959
<v Speaker 1>and your web page ever since the twenty dollars wise

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Cam review. I to use my Apple twelve cell phone

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>from my home and I'm noticing in the upper right

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>hand corner near the battery, I'm getting the SOS in

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>upper case, and I'm wondering, what the heck I thought

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 1>it was only on the Apple fourteen SOS availability Mike, Mike,

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>great question, and this is actually something I need to

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>address in a reels or on an Instagram story because

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.839
<v Speaker 1>it's very confusing. So there's two things we're talking about here.

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Number One, with iOS sixteen, Apple changed the way emergency

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>services looks on your menu bar. They now put an

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>SOS in the upper right hand corner where the signal

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>bar used to be. When you don't have a standard signal,

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>but you also still have a cellular signal that could

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>still be used in case of an emergency, hence the

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 1>SOS and the background on that is Basically, here in

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the US, let's say a Verizon subscriber, you don't have

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a Verizon signal, so typically your show would your phone

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>would show no signal. But there's a law in the

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 1>US that says your phone can reach out on any

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>carrier network. And in the US we basically have three

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>of them. We have Verizon, we have AT and T,

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and we have T Mobile, and to a lesser extent,

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I think there's still a bit of sprint lingering around,

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and so your phone, as long as it can reach

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 1>out to any of those networks, if it has the

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>antennas to do that, could call nine on one through

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 1>AT and T, even if you're a Verizon subscriber, And

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>not many people realize that, but basically, even an unactivated

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>phone that you have in a drawer, as long as it,

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, can latch onto a cell signal, it would

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>still be able to dial nine one one. So that's

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 1>just the law here in the US. In some countries,

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>like I think Japan, doesn't allow phones that are unactivated

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to dial nine on one because that could be an issue.

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>So but here in the US that's the way it works.

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 1>So the reality is the SOS means like Hey, your

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 1>phone can still dial nine one one even though you

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>don't have a signal from your carrier. Now there's a

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>secondary logo, and this is the logo that's reserved for

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone fourteen and up at this point, which there

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 1>isn't an up but I'm just planning for the future.

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 1>But there's a satellite logo that would sit next to

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>that SOS logo, And that satellite logo means that, oh,

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't have a cellular signal from anywhere, but you

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>do have a satellite signal. You have satellite availability where

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 1>you can aim your phone towards the open sky and

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>send a message for help that way. And so I

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>agree it's confusing. I feel like there's gonna be some

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 1>more messaging around this and some more explanation. But that's

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the reason why you're seeing SOS on your phone, Mike,

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>You're not seeing the satellite on your phone. Only iPhone

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>fourteen users would use this would be able to see

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that satellite. And once you see that satellite, that means

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that you don't have a traditional cellular signal, but you

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.119
<v Speaker 1>do have a satellite signal available to you or potentially

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>available to you that you could use to send for help.

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>So great question, and I'm glad I was able to

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.560
<v Speaker 1>clear that up. But again, you gave me a great

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>idea for a new reel. All right, let's talk YouTube

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 1>paying about two billion dollars a year for NFL Sunday Ticket.

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>This is something that DirecTV has had for many, many years,

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I think since nineteen ninety four. Whoo. And the reason

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>why it worked so well with DirecTV is because once

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 1>they sold you on this satellite system, you were basically

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 1>stuck for a couple of years, and so they would

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 1>get people in, they would luwer them in with this

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 1>NFL Sunday Ticket, and once they installed that satellite on

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.479
<v Speaker 1>your roof and you had a couple of years contract,

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>it was a pretty good situation for DirecTV because they

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>knew that those customers were not going anywhere anytime soon.

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>That's why I think it's so interesting that YouTube is

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>paying so much for this on something they're probably not

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 1>going to recoup the costs on. Like, is this thing

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.199
<v Speaker 1>still worth two billion dollars?

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure it is.

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:11.199
<v Speaker 1>But what Sunday Ticket is is basically you will have

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.920
<v Speaker 1>access or subscribers have access to all of the home

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 1>all of the games on Sunday that the NFL is playing,

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 1>except their home team. So if you live in Los Angeles,

0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you would not have access to the home teams here,

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.879
<v Speaker 1>which are the Rams and the Chargers, so you'd have

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>access to all the other games that you want to watch.

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So let's say you move from Philadelphia. You'd still be

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>able to watch your home team from there even though

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 1>you live here, which is typically not available.

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 2>But the idea is that you would still.

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Have access to the Rams and the Chargers, just on

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.439
<v Speaker 1>local channels or through ESPN or wherever that game is playing.

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.879
<v Speaker 1>So it's very, very complicated. We're kind of tiptoeing to

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 1>this world where everything is available everywhere, but with sports,

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>there's such a large amount of money involved that nobody

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>wants wants to be the first to give up everything

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>because they know that once they do that, they're never

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 1>going back. But we've seen baseball games going to Apple TV.

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Plus we've seen Thursday Night Football going to Amazon, and

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 1>there's change happening. It's just not happening as fast as

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.199
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to see. But you will be able to

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.959
<v Speaker 1>watch these games on YouTube and YouTube TV. So let

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 1>me explain how that's gonna work Number one YouTube license

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the deal for seven years, so they're gonna be paying

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 1>about two billion dollars a year for seven years. That's

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cash. But if anyone has it, I

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:39.480
<v Speaker 1>guess Google does. So they haven't said how much this

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.399
<v Speaker 1>is going to cost, but the previous price was about

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>three hundred dollars. They also had a four hundred dollars

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 1>price tag for a separate kind of like even more

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 1>NFL content. But YouTube TV, if you're a subscriber to that,

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty simple. It's just gonna be an odd on

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 1>like you would, like you would subscribe to NBA League

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Pass or HBO Max or Stars or whatever these things are,

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.159
<v Speaker 1>you would just subscribe to it. It would show up

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 1>on your channels. Now, YouTube has this thing that many

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>people don't know about called primetime channels, and so you're

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>able to actually subscribe to a whole bunch of premium

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.679
<v Speaker 1>channels through YouTube now as of like last month, and

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:20.439
<v Speaker 1>so this will be an add on through that.

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 2>And so.

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, you could just basically watch this on your

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 1>regular YouTube app, but it would be a premium offering

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.120
<v Speaker 1>through that. How's this going to work? So let's put

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>it this way. According to the Wall Street Journal, YouTube

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:39.199
<v Speaker 1>has two billion users and five million subscribers for YouTube tv,

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 1>so that's not a lot of people. Direct tv has

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 1>thirteen point five million subscribers, which is a tiny fraction

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 1>of what they used to have Five years ago, they

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>had more than twenty million customers. So is there any

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.920
<v Speaker 1>possible way that they could recoup two billion dollars through

0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 1>their two billion users and five million subscriber.

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe, especially with the YouTube accounts.

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>But I think the biggest thing here that I like

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>about this deal is that YouTube is just kind of

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the ideal video player on the Internet. It's just it's

0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>second only to Netflix.

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Those are the two.

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I would actually argue that YouTube might even be better.

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>But YouTube and Netflix are kind of the gold standards

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.640
<v Speaker 1>for video players on the web. And so the fact

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that you'll now be able to access these games so

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>simply and through a really clean player that works really

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>well on any connection, I think is the big win here.

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 1>And if the price is a little bit less, that'll

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>be great. But the fact that it's on such a

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>platform that's on any device you can ever imagine, I

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>think that's the big win here. So we'll say sports

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>are a change in that is for sure, all right,

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Benita says, good morning. I have a new iPhone fourteen

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and need to back up my old phone before I change.

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Is there a safe app that deletes duplicate photos I

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.360
<v Speaker 1>can use? I'm afraid of deleting pictures. Thank you sent

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 1>for my iPhone. Absolutely. I got a couple of questions

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>about deleting duplicate photos, so I just actually made a

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.159
<v Speaker 1>reel on my Instagram at rich on Tech all about this.

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Two ways you can tackle this problem. Number one, well,

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you kind of said you need to back up your

0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 1>old phone before you change. So number one, when you

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 1>switch from iPhone to iPhone, the process is like really

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 1>easy nowadays. It basically uses either your iCloud backup or

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 1>a super fast Wi Fi direct connection to transfer all

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>of your data. So it's really simple and it's pretty

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>fool proof. But there are issues that happen, so I

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>would definitely recommend backing up your phone. Make sure that

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 1>your old iPhone has done a complete backup to iCloud.

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>And the way that you can see if that's if

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>that has happened is you go into settings on your

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>iPhone and then you tap iCloud. Oh wow, what's going

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>on there? Okay, then you tap iCloud and then you

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>tap uh, let's see do you tap iCloud again, and

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>then you can go to device backups. It says iCloud

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 1>backup and it says last successful backup for me was

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.400
<v Speaker 1>yesterday at eight fifteen pm. And so I can see

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 1>all my other devices that I have that have been

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 1>backed up on here as well. And so make sure

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>your iPhone is backed up number one. That's first and foremost.

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Then let's get into deleting the duplicate pictures. There's two

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 1>ways you can do this. If you have iOS sixteen

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 1>on your phone, you can tap the photos app. You

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.720
<v Speaker 1>can go into albums, scroll all the way down and

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 1>you'll see under utilities it says duplicates, and you can

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 1>go through and manage your duplicates there. I don't find

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that that's very good at all. It's very very basic

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's probably not going to do a very good job.

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 1>So what I would recommend there's an app called Gemini

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Gemni and Gemini sort of works under the freemium model,

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:54.199
<v Speaker 1>so yes, you will get access to see what this

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 1>app can do, but you might have to pay a

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit to actually use it, but it is well

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 1>worth the cash because it is phenomenal. Once it scans

0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:06.479
<v Speaker 1>your library, you can see similar picks, duplicate picks, videos, screenshots, notes,

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 1>other and blurry picks. And then you can go through

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and tap into your similar picks. You can delete the

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>ones that are similar. You can go into your duplicates.

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>You can merge those or delete the duplicates, whatever you

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:21.159
<v Speaker 1>want to do.

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 2>You can also go through in.

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 1>The videos and sort by largest videos and delete a

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of those, just to free up a whole bunch

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 1>of space immediately on your phone. Again, the app is

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>called Gemini. It is the best when it comes to

0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>finding duplicates and managing your stuff. I think that that

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 1>is the phenomenal best way to do it. Bonita, have

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>a great time upgrading your phone. Enjoy the iPhone fourteen.

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>It is a fantastic device. All right, Let's talk about

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 1>three smartphone hacks to save you big, big bucks. All right,

0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>So whenever I see a couple of things happening online,

0:23:58.240 --> 0:23:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm always like, all right, I gotta do a story

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.160
<v Speaker 1>about that. So I did this story today on KTLA

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>about three tips that I have used myself, but also

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 1>have been justified by other folks who also posted similar tips. So,

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:15.760
<v Speaker 1>first off, George Campbell, this is a Ramsey Solutions personality.

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 2>You know me. I love Dave Ramsey.

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I love the whole you know, debt free lifestyle, all

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. And following a lot of what

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Dave says, I can't say I do it perfectly. I

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>do have a credit card, I will admit that. But

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't try to play the points game as much

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:35.080
<v Speaker 1>as many people.

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:35.439
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>There are so many people that give me a hard

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.159
<v Speaker 1>time because they're like, oh, why aren't you doing that

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.400
<v Speaker 1>for the point And I'm like, ah, because I know

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 1>it's really I get it, and it's just one of

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 1>those things where whatever it is, what it is. But

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I do like Dave Ramsey and I have been listening

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to him and I do feel like he's actually changed

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:57.199
<v Speaker 1>my financial life, and so I am thankful for that.

0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:59.919
<v Speaker 1>But George is you know, he's got all these you know,

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Dave is going to retire at some point, so he's

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 1>got all these up and comers that are sort of

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 1>taking over and kind of weaving into the show. And

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>George Campbell is one of them. And I find him

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 1>to be a really good radio personality and also Instagram

0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 1>person and all that good stuff. So he's doing a

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 1>great job over there. Anyway, he posted a tip that

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I really liked. I've known about Google Lens forever, but

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he was saying, basically, if you snap a picture of

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>something that you want on Google Lens, you can use

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>it to not just check the price, but also find

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that item across various retailers and maybe even cheaper than

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:36.120
<v Speaker 1>what you would typically pay for that. So let's say

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:38.359
<v Speaker 1>he gave the example of a pair of boots. You

0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 1>see a pair of boots that you love, you take

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a picture of it with the Google lens. It scans

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the Internet and finds those boots across a whole bunch

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 1>of stores. Now, the fancy schmancy boots that sell for

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 1>three hundred dollars may also be selling at Kohl's for

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>fifty five dollars because it's not exactly the same boots

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 1>from the designer that you originally wanted, but they're just

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 1>as good, they look just is good, and they're a

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>whole lot cheaper. So that's the first tip. Open up

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.080
<v Speaker 1>the Google app on your iPhone, tap the camera icon,

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and scan stuff with Google lens, and this could be anything.

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:12.360
<v Speaker 1>You can scan a building, you can scan a pair

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:15.239
<v Speaker 1>of things for shopping. You can scan something that a

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 1>look that you want. You go to someone's house, you

0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>really like the lamp they have, you can scan that.

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's really quite phenomenal because, let's face it,

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Google has the entire Internet indexed and if something is

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 1>out there, they know where to find it.

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 2>On Android, it's a lot easier.

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.960
<v Speaker 1>You just have to tap the camera search icon or

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the camera icon in the search bar on your home screen.

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:35.960
<v Speaker 2>And so great tip there.

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I've been using this a lot more ever since I

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:40.360
<v Speaker 1>saw George feature it, and even though I've been using

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Google Lends forever, I do think it is way more

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 1>powerful than I ever imagined. An app called flip flipp

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:49.919
<v Speaker 1>This is an app that I use from time to time.

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:54.560
<v Speaker 1>It's an app that lets you see all the digital

0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:58.159
<v Speaker 1>versions of sale flyers that arrive in your mailbox, so

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>you can search through these sale and how is that useful? Well,

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the other day I needed razors and I like the Geelette.

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I know, the top of the line Gelette Profusion five

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:12.440
<v Speaker 1>blade razors that are so ridiculous. I don't know why

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:14.640
<v Speaker 1>they're so expensive, but they are and they've been out

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 1>for you know, fifteen years, but they're still really expensive,

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.639
<v Speaker 1>and so, you know, I like to find them. I

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.119
<v Speaker 1>was ordering them on Subscribe and Save on Amazon, but

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 1>then it occurred to me, I'm like, you know what,

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I bet you some of these retailers have these as

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:30.679
<v Speaker 1>a loss leader in their store to gets you in

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>at a cheaper price. And sure enough, I searched to

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Lette on the flip app and it came up with

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a really good deal at CVS. And not only were

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the razors like fifty percent off, but they also had

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:45.199
<v Speaker 1>like a ten dollars off your razor purchase of like

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:47.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty five dollars or more. And when I combine those

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>two things, I got these razors for like, you know,

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a fraction of the price that I would pay for

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 1>them on Amazon. So I went I drove over to

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:57.960
<v Speaker 1>cvses you have to go to a local store. They

0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:00.200
<v Speaker 1>also do online deals, but I find that this works

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>better for in store deals, and so I went over

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 1>to CVS.

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I went to the cashier.

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I tried not to spend extra money at the store

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 1>as I walked through, because that's the downside of going

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to an in store shopping experience is that you're probably

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:14.919
<v Speaker 1>going to spend more money on all this stuff they

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 1>try to sell you on whilst you walk through the store. Anyway,

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to do this hack and it worked out great, so

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and I did this twice. I also did it for

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 1>tide pods. My wife wanted to order them on Amazon.

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I said, hey, let me try my little hack on

0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 1>flip and see if I can find these in store.

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:33.000
<v Speaker 1>And sure enough, again as cvs, they were three dollars

0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and seventy nine cents. And yes, I did the math.

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I divided up the price by how many you get

0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:39.920
<v Speaker 1>in the pack, and I did that for Amazon and

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple other places, and sure enough, it was like

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 1>three dollars seventy nine cents for you know, sixteen of

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:47.920
<v Speaker 1>these or whatever it was. And it came out the

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>price per pod was cheaper than anywhere else I could find.

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:51.760
<v Speaker 2>And so I did that.

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>My wife, of course, rolled her eyes at me, and

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, hey, I just saved us like two bucks,

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.160
<v Speaker 1>so and you can save more. You know, you might

0:28:58.160 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>save two, you might save five, you might save ten,

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and you might save one.

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Hundred at at some point. So use this hack.

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Open up the flip app search for the specific brand

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>that you want, and it will show you where that

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.640
<v Speaker 1>item is a deal near you. And it's not going

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>to work every time, but you know, if you like

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.800
<v Speaker 1>a certain deodorant or a certain razor, or you're looking

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:23.080
<v Speaker 1>for a certain you know, appliance, like a coffee grinder,

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, especially when it's a specific brand name,

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 1>this is a good way to do it. If you

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:31.800
<v Speaker 1>want to see where your favorite Starbucks coffee is on

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:33.840
<v Speaker 1>sale whatever retailers near you.

0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Just just try it flip flipp all right.

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 1>The final one, and this one I knew about before

0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 1>my friend Jennifer Jolly posted about it, but I just

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>love it. I almost wanted to keep this one a

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:46.880
<v Speaker 1>secret because I love it so much. But price matching. Now,

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>price matching is not a new concept. My dad was

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 1>doing this back in the day with Crazy at Ease.

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 1>You would get a newspaper, you get the Sunday New

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>York Times or whatever the newspaper was. They had all

0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the prices listed for all electronics in the back pages

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of this newspaper and it was in tiny, tiny print.

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>You would bring it to Crazy Eddies and you say, hey,

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I just found this Oinkyo receiver for ten dollars less

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 1>than what you're selling it for, and they're like, well, yeah,

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you'd have to drive into New York City and buy

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>it at that retailer, but you know, I'm right here.

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Can you just price match?

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 1>And they'd talk to the manager and they say, all right, fine,

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll give you that receiver for eleven dollars off just

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to beat their price, and you'd come home a happy customer.

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 1>You felt like you saved a lot of money and

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:31.719
<v Speaker 1>it was great. You could do the same thing at

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Target with their app. So if you're inside Target, download

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the Target app, which I highly recommend in general anyway,

0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 1>and when you're buying something of any value in their store,

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>so we're talking something that's like twenty five dollars and up,

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>give it a scan and just scan the barcode on

0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that item. It will with the Target app and it

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 1>will show you how much Target is selling that item

0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>for on its website, and you will be really really

0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>surprised that a lot of times the Target website is

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>cheaper than what the store is offering. And the reason

0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>for this is that when you're in the store, most

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 1>people are not comparing prices to online. But if you do,

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're online, you know Google is indexing all these prices.

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>So if you're searching for something online, the Target website

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.320
<v Speaker 1>has to be just as competitive and in line with

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 1>its competitors like Amazon and best Buy and Walmart and

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 1>so a lot of times the prices will be many

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 1>much more dynamic online. But the reality is, if you're

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 1>in Target, they will match their price that they're selling

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it online. They'll match a competitors price as well. But

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the easiest one is just to scan for their own price.

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:40.280
<v Speaker 1>So Jennifer Jolly posted this hack on her Instagram and

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it was great. She's a Tech Life columnist and she

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>does stuff for the Today Show. But I loved it,

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and I use this. The other day I bought a bike.

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think my kid listens to this podcast, so

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I can just say I bought a bike at Target.

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not kidding. The bike was three hundred and fifty

0:31:56.240 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>dollars on the shelf, and it was one hundred and

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:02.400
<v Speaker 1>sixty five dollars on their website.

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 2>And I will tell you.

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:05.760
<v Speaker 1>How I figured out that the bike was even on

0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>sale at Target. I'll tell you this right now. I

0:32:08.320 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 1>use the first hack. I scanned the bike with the

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Google Lens app. I was in another store and I

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, all right, we're gonna buy my kid a bike.

0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Let me just just for fun, let me just scan

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:20.000
<v Speaker 1>this bike to see what the price is online.

0:32:20.080 --> 0:32:22.840
<v Speaker 2>And I saw a similar bike at Target for one.

0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Hundred and sixty five and like, wait a second, let's

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 1>just go to Target and see. And my wife was like,

0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you sure this could be off, Like we're right here.

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I said, let's just try it. And we tried it,

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and sure enough, the bike was in stock. It was there.

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I could not believe that this saved us so much money.

0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>So again, and I've done this a couple of times

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 1>with different things at Target. It works like a charm.

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 2>So definitely do that. And if you want to see

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 2>that story, just go to my website. Rich on tech

0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 2>dot tv.

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:57.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to the next question of the podcast.

0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Samsung G four Flip is the head line of the

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 1>or this subject line of the email. Hey Rich, I

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 1>just bought the new Flip phone from Samsung, and I

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 1>love it because it's compact and it takes great pictures.

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 1>One of my friends asked me, how long do they

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 1>guarantee the flip to keep working and not break. I

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't even bother to ask of the time, because it didn't.

0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Occur to me.

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess I should have. Do you have the answer?

0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Is there someone at Samsung you can ask? Thanks so much, Paula, Well, PAULA,

0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 1>great question. I don't have to ask someone at Samsung

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 1>because they put the information online. Excuse me, how many

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>times can the By the way, with the new radio show,

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 1>there is a cough button and so I was learning

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the ins and outs of radio, so I can do

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>this and there's a little button that I can press

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and it will basically clip out my microphone while I

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>can cough. It's like there's actually a cough button, and

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I need it because, as you know if you follow

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.479
<v Speaker 1>me on social media, I recently had COVID and I

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 1>was quite fine during the span of that illness, but

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I did get a fever I got I was really

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 1>sick like the first day, but after that I was

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty much okay. I mean, I was sick, but it was,

0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was manageable. I watched a bunch of

0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>movies and TV shows and just kind of sat on

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:13.839
<v Speaker 1>the couch and ate a lot of food because it's

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:16.400
<v Speaker 1>an excuse to do that and drank a lot of

0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, hydrating liquids. And when I was done with it,

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I had this lingering cough which is still not gone away,

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>which is just wild.

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 2>And I was reading about it.

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:29.280
<v Speaker 1>And basically, your lungs are sort of your your immune

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 1>system and your lungs are sort of inflamed from this illness,

0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and so it takes a while for them to kind

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:38.160
<v Speaker 1>of come back to zero and kind of the place

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that they, you know, are at a daily basis, and

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 1>so it does. I've been coughing like it's just wild anyway,

0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:48.800
<v Speaker 1>So I apologize for that cough. But go to the

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 1>website Samsung dot com says how many times can the

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy Z fold for and Galaxy Z flip four be

0:34:55.320 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 1>folded and unfolded? The answer is the lifespan depends on

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:03.960
<v Speaker 1>how users utilize their devices. However, it's been proven they

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:08.120
<v Speaker 1>can withstand over two hundred thousand folds before failing. There

0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:13.240
<v Speaker 1>you go, This sequels one hundred folds daily for five years. Now,

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.799
<v Speaker 1>that use case scenario will of course depend on how

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 1>you open and close your phone. I found the phone

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that you purchased, the G four flip Galaxy Flip four

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to be.

0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:26.240
<v Speaker 2>An excellent phone.

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:28.600
<v Speaker 1>In fact, this was one of my favorite phones of

0:35:28.760 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. If you go to my website rich

0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:34.919
<v Speaker 1>on tech dot TV, look up my riches recommended gadgets list,

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 1>which I keep on Amazon. It is on there because

0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:38.479
<v Speaker 1>I love this phone. Now.

0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I think the camera is excellent.

0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure it's up to my creator level standards,

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:48.120
<v Speaker 1>which the iPhone fourteen Pro is pretty much the only

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:52.160
<v Speaker 1>video camera this year that I think could live up

0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to doing what I need to do for Instagram and TV.

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 1>But the Galaxy, both the Fold four and the Flip

0:35:59.120 --> 0:36:02.120
<v Speaker 1>four I was very very impressed with and I loved

0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 1>both of those devices, and I am almost ready to

0:36:06.239 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 1>dive in. The Fold four was a bit bigger for me,

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and I thought it was really cool as a I mean,

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoyed it. I just think it needs to

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:14.959
<v Speaker 1>be thinner when it's folded. The Flip four, I thought

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:19.080
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely perfect. It just for me personally, I needed

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a better video camera and I just wasn't ready to

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 1>give up some of that some of that for this phone.

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:28.399
<v Speaker 1>But I think that for the average user, I think

0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:30.799
<v Speaker 1>it is just a great little device, and if you

0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>want to dive into the whole foldable arena.

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:36.359
<v Speaker 2>That is a great way to do it. All right,

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 2>we're getting through.

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh you know what, let's let's get to this next

0:36:39.920 --> 0:36:42.920
<v Speaker 1>story that I think kind of blends in with that

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:45.319
<v Speaker 1>or kind of I don't know what the word is

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:48.360
<v Speaker 1>transitions from what I just was talking about. So, which

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>smartphone is the best camera this year? MKBHD? You know

0:36:53.000 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm better as Marquez Brownlee or sorry, Marquez Brownlee, you

0:36:56.719 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 1>know I'm better as MKBHD. On YouTube, he's one of

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the top tech YouTubers in the world. Every year he

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 1>does this blind camera test with all the top smartphones,

0:37:06.080 --> 0:37:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and this year he put fourteen to them to the test.

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:11.880
<v Speaker 1>In years past, it wasn't as scientific. This year he

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:14.799
<v Speaker 1>made it much more scientific, and it was a It

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:17.240
<v Speaker 1>was a doozy. I actually tried voting in this blind

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:19.720
<v Speaker 1>camera test and it took so long that I actually

0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:21.319
<v Speaker 1>thought there was a problem. I was like, wait, what

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 1>is going on here? And I guess I should have

0:37:23.280 --> 0:37:25.600
<v Speaker 1>read the directions more. But basically, I'm not going to

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 1>go through how they tested. But they collected over twenty

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:31.319
<v Speaker 1>one million votes and they kept making you vote until

0:37:31.360 --> 0:37:37.839
<v Speaker 1>you had a basically a scientifically proven favorite, and then

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.160
<v Speaker 1>they stopped your voting, and so it was it was

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:43.360
<v Speaker 1>really interesting, but they made people vote in best overall,

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.960
<v Speaker 1>best HDR, and best portrait. So let's just get to

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:49.279
<v Speaker 1>the bottom line. The best phone this year for a

0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:55.440
<v Speaker 1>camera overall is the Google Pixel six A. Notice I

0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't say the top of the line Google seven or

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:02.960
<v Speaker 1>seven pro, the six A. This is their budget smartphone,

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's the smartphone that I said in my review

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:09.720
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely fantastic, and I said it was the best

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 1>overall smartphone, budget smartphone for people this year. Combination of

0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 1>price and camera, this thing was just phenomenal. And it's cheap.

0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:22.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean when I reviewed it, it was four ninety nine.

0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I said, don't buy it if it's less than three

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine. Let me just get up my Pixel six

0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:33.000
<v Speaker 1>A KTLA. I'm just searching to see. My headline was

0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Google's cheapest pixel phone gives a lot for less, and

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I said at the end it was four hundred. It

0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:45.239
<v Speaker 1>was on sale for okay, let's see, it's four hundred

0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and fifty dollars. That's the main price. Okay, I said,

0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:51.120
<v Speaker 1>don't buy unless it drops to three ninety nine, it

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:54.040
<v Speaker 1>ended up dropping to three point fifty. Now it's as

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:57.360
<v Speaker 1>cheap as two ninety nine. So this is this is

0:38:57.480 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 1>really a fantastic deal. The second phone that the second

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:06.080
<v Speaker 1>place was Google Pixel seven Pro, and I think the

0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 1>reality is you're like, rich, what about the iPhone? What

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:12.319
<v Speaker 1>about the iPhone? What about the iPhone? So the let's

0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 1>see if we go down the list a little bit,

0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Samsung S twenty two Ultra got fifth place, and the

0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:23.640
<v Speaker 1>iPhone fourteen Pro got seventh place. The A sus zen

0:39:23.760 --> 0:39:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Phone nine got third place, So again Pixel six A,

0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Pixel seven Pro, a sus zen Phone nine, then Galaxy

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:36.520
<v Speaker 1>S twenty two Ultra fifth place, iPhone fourteen Pro seventh place.

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:39.440
<v Speaker 1>So you're like, rich, wow, what's the deal here? I

0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 1>will tell you, as someone who has used the iPhone

0:39:41.680 --> 0:39:45.280
<v Speaker 1>fourteen Pro for a majority of this year, it takes

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I think, I feel like overall when they're saying overall

0:39:49.840 --> 0:39:51.839
<v Speaker 1>for the Pixel six A, this did not take into

0:39:51.840 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 1>account video, and so I would say overall, the overall

0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:59.759
<v Speaker 1>best camera system is the iPhone fourteen Pro. For sure.

0:39:59.800 --> 0:40:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm I will tell you that I've used it all year.

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 1>It is really something that can't be matched. Things get close,

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:10.360
<v Speaker 1>but they don't match the ease, the speed, and the

0:40:10.520 --> 0:40:14.319
<v Speaker 1>consistency of the iPhone fourteen Pro. As an overall, I'm

0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 1>talking a combination of still pictures and video pictures. Now,

0:40:19.120 --> 0:40:22.440
<v Speaker 1>if you're just talking up pictures or video, sorry, if

0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you're just talking pictures, Yes, the Google Pixel six A

0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and the seven Pro. I think the reason why these

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:31.040
<v Speaker 1>get so high in such high marks is because the

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:34.680
<v Speaker 1>pixel photos just have a certain magical quality to them.

0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Like Google does a lot of post processing. They're basically

0:40:37.960 --> 0:40:40.840
<v Speaker 1>editing all your photos for you, and they just know

0:40:40.880 --> 0:40:43.880
<v Speaker 1>how to make them pop and look really really good.

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm talking the shadows, the brightness, the contrast, the details.

0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:52.520
<v Speaker 1>It is all there and it's all really really good. Now,

0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone does a really nice job. The Samsung does

0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:57.359
<v Speaker 1>a really nice job, but there are some hits and

0:40:57.440 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 1>misses along the way. And I think when you talk

0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 1>overall the Pixel seven and the six A, they're just

0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:07.000
<v Speaker 1>using a little bit more AI to kind of like

0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:10.279
<v Speaker 1>smooth things out and edit things. And so I think

0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:12.400
<v Speaker 1>if that was lacking in these phones, they would not

0:41:12.520 --> 0:41:15.480
<v Speaker 1>rate as high. But because they process these pictures in

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:20.360
<v Speaker 1>such a magical AI way. That's what makes them trend

0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:23.160
<v Speaker 1>so high when it comes to these ratings, and you know,

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 1>I have no complaints. I think that you will be

0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:30.279
<v Speaker 1>happy with the Pixel six A, the Pixel seven, the

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Pixel seven Pro if you're more of a power user

0:41:32.480 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and you want that zoom. The Samsung S twenty two

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Ultra also I love that phone this year. And the

0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:43.399
<v Speaker 1>iPhone fourteen Pro Max or sorry, just Pro I think

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:46.360
<v Speaker 1>is also really good. The iPhone fourteen I think is

0:41:46.400 --> 0:41:49.000
<v Speaker 1>just fine. I think that it has an okay camera system.

0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:50.600
<v Speaker 1>If you're going to go iPhone, I'd go with the

0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Pro because it really is. It's a little bit more expensive,

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.320
<v Speaker 1>but you're getting really the best that Apple has to offer.

0:41:56.400 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>So there you have it. Those are the best phones

0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:00.560
<v Speaker 1>of the year. But I think I think it really

0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 1>comes down to budget and what is most important to you.

0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 1>All Right, I want to make sure that I talk

0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:12.560
<v Speaker 1>about all the stories that I mentioned smartphone last past

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Sunday ticket okay.

0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Good, good, good good, Okay.

0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Nike Training Club coming to Netflix. So

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:21.040
<v Speaker 1>this is Netflix is sort of an entree to on

0:42:21.120 --> 0:42:25.440
<v Speaker 1>demand fitness training. December thirtieth, they're gonna be launching videos

0:42:25.440 --> 0:42:29.040
<v Speaker 1>from Nike Training Club on Netflix just in time for

0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:32.120
<v Speaker 1>your news resolution. I think this is great. They're gonna

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:35.560
<v Speaker 1>have thirty hours of exercise sessions released in two batches.

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:38.240
<v Speaker 1>It's all from Nike Training Club. So if you're familiar

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:40.879
<v Speaker 1>with Nike Training Club and their apps, which I used

0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to use religiously when they were kind of the only

0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:46.280
<v Speaker 1>game in town. Now that things like Peloton and Apple

0:42:46.320 --> 0:42:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Fitness Plus have come along, I have not used Nike

0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Training in a long time, but it used to be

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:56.400
<v Speaker 1>my absolute favorite on I'm talking back to the iPod Touch.

0:42:57.320 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 1>iPod Touch was my favorite to run because it had

0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the Nike app and I could run with that on

0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:06.000
<v Speaker 1>this wristband on my shoulder, and I thought it was

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:08.960
<v Speaker 1>so cool. And then the iPhone came along with that

0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:11.480
<v Speaker 1>same kind of program. I ended up switching to that,

0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and then the Nike Band came along. I use that

0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:16.920
<v Speaker 1>at some point. And a little trivia for you, the

0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:19.720
<v Speaker 1>same guy that used to run all the Nike stuff

0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:23.600
<v Speaker 1>now runs Apple Fitness Plus. So there's a lot of

0:43:23.680 --> 0:43:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Nike in Apple Fitness Plus. But now they're a little

0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:29.760
<v Speaker 1>bit more competitors because now Nike has gone to Netflix.

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.839
<v Speaker 1>So look, if you subscribe to Netflix. You're you know

0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you see this on your home screen.

0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Great.

0:43:34.800 --> 0:43:38.000
<v Speaker 1>It may motivate people to do workouts that may not

0:43:38.080 --> 0:43:41.560
<v Speaker 1>have done workouts previously, or may not otherwise do workouts,

0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:44.480
<v Speaker 1>or may not otherwise subscribe to one of the other things.

0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And so I think it's a great thing. Do I

0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:49.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's the end all for workouts? No, They've got

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Kickstart Fitness with the Basics, two Week to a Stronger Core,

0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Fall in Love with Yoga, Hit Strength, Feel Good Fitness.

0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:57.680
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be a bunch of episodes. They all launch

0:43:57.960 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 1>December thirtieth, or the first batch. I should if you

0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:02.920
<v Speaker 1>want to search for it, search Nike on Netflix to

0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:06.520
<v Speaker 1>see it. They say it'll work for all fitness levels

0:44:06.520 --> 0:44:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and interests, and it's great. It's included in your subscription.

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's awesome. I think that there's better options

0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:18.239
<v Speaker 1>out there. But I love the fact that this is

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:20.399
<v Speaker 1>going to push a lot of people to sit there

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know, they're tuning in for Bridgerton or whatever

0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:27.200
<v Speaker 1>else is on that top ten list of trash that

0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Netflix puts out there. Just kidding, Oh, I'm just kidding.

0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:35.799
<v Speaker 1>It's a joke. My joke is that people watch anything

0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that Netflix puts on their homepage and go ahead and

0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:40.640
<v Speaker 1>challenge me on that, but I know you've done it.

0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:44.080
<v Speaker 1>You see these things, these thumbnails, They are so slick.

0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:46.960
<v Speaker 1>They know exactly who you are and what you like,

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:49.799
<v Speaker 1>and they engineer those thumbnails to make it look like

0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the program.

0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Is just for you.

0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 1>And so people watch a lot of stuff on Netflix

0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:58.320
<v Speaker 1>that they wouldn't typically watch, and they end up watching

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:01.600
<v Speaker 1>it because of a lot of reasons. But the reality is,

0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:04.400
<v Speaker 1>if they can apply that same logic to Nike Fitness

0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and they'll get people to work out because of it, I'm.

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:07.160
<v Speaker 2>All for it.

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:09.359
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's a way I will tell you

0:45:09.400 --> 0:45:14.560
<v Speaker 1>in my experience. I am personally I love I love,

0:45:14.640 --> 0:45:18.040
<v Speaker 1>love love Peloton. I use the cycling classes on Peloton

0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis, and I use the treadmill running

0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 1>classes on Peloton on a regular basis. When it comes

0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to Apple Fitness Plus, I think that the classes there

0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:32.239
<v Speaker 1>are excellent, especially when it comes to strength training. I

0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:35.960
<v Speaker 1>think those are amazing. I think that Apple Fitness Plus

0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit more polished when it comes to

0:45:37.680 --> 0:45:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the classes versus Peloton, But I think the Peloton trainers

0:45:43.760 --> 0:45:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and the way they do their classes feel a bit

0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:50.760
<v Speaker 1>more off the cuff compared to kind of the slick

0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:53.040
<v Speaker 1>programming that you get on Apple Fitness Plus.

0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:54.560
<v Speaker 2>But I also like the search function.

0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, I think, I mean I subscribe to both,

0:45:57.440 --> 0:45:59.839
<v Speaker 1>so I use both on a regular basis. I think

0:45:59.840 --> 0:46:02.239
<v Speaker 1>the good for different things. But at the end of

0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:05.839
<v Speaker 1>the day, if you are moving throughout the week, for

0:46:06.080 --> 0:46:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, thirty minutes a day, whatever they want you

0:46:08.000 --> 0:46:09.799
<v Speaker 1>to do, thirty minutes a couple times a week, whatever

0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:12.719
<v Speaker 1>they recommend, absolutely do it. You will always feel.

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Better doing that. I'm a big believer in that.

0:46:15.400 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I am not mister fitness, mister workout, but I do

0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:21.279
<v Speaker 1>like to move because so much of our lives in

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:26.239
<v Speaker 1>this modern world are sitting and very you know, we go,

0:46:26.360 --> 0:46:28.640
<v Speaker 1>we walk from our house to our car, we get

0:46:28.680 --> 0:46:30.960
<v Speaker 1>in our car, we drive to work, we get to work,

0:46:30.960 --> 0:46:32.959
<v Speaker 1>we sit in a chair at work, we get from work,

0:46:33.000 --> 0:46:35.759
<v Speaker 1>we go to home. It's a lot of like, you know,

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:40.279
<v Speaker 1>non movement. And unless your job is very physical, you know,

0:46:40.360 --> 0:46:43.239
<v Speaker 1>the modern employee is not moving too much. And so

0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I will force myself after work to go to the gym,

0:46:46.840 --> 0:46:49.319
<v Speaker 1>get on that treadmill, even if I'm not feeling it

0:46:49.480 --> 0:46:52.200
<v Speaker 1>just to do those thirty minutes just to move. And

0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I have never come out of that gym, or I've

0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:56.880
<v Speaker 1>never come out of my room where I've got a

0:46:56.920 --> 0:47:00.399
<v Speaker 1>workout bike feeling like ugh, I wish I didn't do that.

0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I've never felt that way. So when in doubt, try it.

0:47:03.880 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 1>It makes you feel better, you know. Even today, I

0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:10.680
<v Speaker 1>know I've got a long day ahead, and I just

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:12.839
<v Speaker 1>know that I will feel better if I somehow get

0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:13.840
<v Speaker 1>my movement in anyway.

0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Did they put me on a soapbox here? I can't.

0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:22.880
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell, So that's all right.

0:47:23.520 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's see. Ty says, Hey, Rich, I'm looking to buy

0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:30.160
<v Speaker 1>a MacBook Air. Do you think it's worth it to

0:47:30.160 --> 0:47:32.799
<v Speaker 1>buy the newer M two chip version or just get

0:47:32.800 --> 0:47:36.799
<v Speaker 1>the old M one. I mainly need to do all

0:47:36.840 --> 0:47:38.719
<v Speaker 1>the work on Google apps and drive, so I don't

0:47:38.719 --> 0:47:40.759
<v Speaker 1>need a lot of storage or fancy graphics. Is it

0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:43.520
<v Speaker 1>worth the extra three hundred and fifty dollars? I would

0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:48.200
<v Speaker 1>say it's probably not. Now Apple does this thing where

0:47:48.200 --> 0:47:50.759
<v Speaker 1>their stuff is really good these days, like especially their

0:47:50.760 --> 0:47:52.799
<v Speaker 1>own chips. The M one chip came out and just

0:47:52.880 --> 0:47:56.320
<v Speaker 1>blew away the competition. It's a phenomenal chip. It works

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:59.160
<v Speaker 1>really well. The MacBook Air got a whole new life

0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's just great. Then they came out with the

0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:04.080
<v Speaker 1>M two chip later on, but they kept the M

0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:07.680
<v Speaker 1>one chip to make an entry level price point on

0:48:07.719 --> 0:48:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the MacBook Air that's very appealing. And so when shoppers

0:48:11.120 --> 0:48:13.960
<v Speaker 1>go into the Apple Store, it's a little bit complicated

0:48:14.000 --> 0:48:16.640
<v Speaker 1>because they're sitting there going, well, I don't know, do

0:48:16.719 --> 0:48:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I need the M two? Do I need to spend

0:48:18.440 --> 0:48:20.719
<v Speaker 1>all this extra money on this newer computer and this

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:24.760
<v Speaker 1>newer chip. My advice for most people that are buying

0:48:24.880 --> 0:48:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a MacBook Air probably don't need the newer M two chip.

0:48:28.960 --> 0:48:32.680
<v Speaker 1>If you are just doing basic tasks. I'm talking what

0:48:32.840 --> 0:48:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Tie is saying here, Google apps, Google drive, web browsing,

0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:39.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of video editing, a little bit of video,

0:48:40.520 --> 0:48:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, photo editing, browsing, just basic basic stuff. Working

0:48:45.000 --> 0:48:48.279
<v Speaker 1>with spreadsheets. Now, if you are doing anything where your

0:48:48.360 --> 0:48:52.440
<v Speaker 1>job relies on content creation or any app that is

0:48:52.960 --> 0:48:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, requires a lot of horsepower, then absolutely go

0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:58.279
<v Speaker 1>with the M two. The three hundred and fifty dollars

0:48:58.280 --> 0:49:00.719
<v Speaker 1>will be well spent. I think when it comes to

0:49:00.760 --> 0:49:04.680
<v Speaker 1>any of these computers, the most you can get. To

0:49:04.800 --> 0:49:08.360
<v Speaker 1>make these computers work their best for a long period

0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:10.360
<v Speaker 1>of time is to get the biggest hard drive you

0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:13.560
<v Speaker 1>can afford and the most memory that you can afford.

0:49:13.600 --> 0:49:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't discount how important memory is. And I know it's expensive,

0:49:17.640 --> 0:49:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's you know, Apple plays these high low games

0:49:20.360 --> 0:49:22.880
<v Speaker 1>where you know you got this great entry level price,

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:25.239
<v Speaker 1>but you're not getting a lot of specs when it

0:49:25.280 --> 0:49:27.640
<v Speaker 1>comes to your hard drive or your memory, and you've

0:49:27.680 --> 0:49:29.680
<v Speaker 1>got an upgrade and it feels really expensive.

0:49:29.680 --> 0:49:31.239
<v Speaker 2>But I'm telling you that money is well spent.

0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:35.279
<v Speaker 1>So ty, I don't know exactly what you're doing on

0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:37.279
<v Speaker 1>this thing, but it sounds like you don't need the

0:49:37.320 --> 0:49:39.560
<v Speaker 1>fancy graphics or a lot of storage, So go with

0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:43.279
<v Speaker 1>the basic M one. These computers can last a very

0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:46.759
<v Speaker 1>long time. My computer that I have now is from

0:49:47.000 --> 0:49:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe, let's see, it's a MacBook sixteen inch. It

0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:54.279
<v Speaker 1>is from twenty nineteen, and I'm holding out.

0:49:54.600 --> 0:49:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm holding out hope.

0:49:55.719 --> 0:49:57.719
<v Speaker 1>In early twenty twenty three they will come out with

0:49:57.760 --> 0:50:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the M two MacBook Pro in a sixteen ninch model.

0:50:01.040 --> 0:50:03.440
<v Speaker 1>That is the computer that I want. I did not

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:06.520
<v Speaker 1>spring for the fourteen inch M to last year or

0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:10.280
<v Speaker 1>this year I should say. And so I'm holding out

0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:13.160
<v Speaker 1>hope that my computer will come along and then I

0:50:13.200 --> 0:50:16.680
<v Speaker 1>will gift this current computer, which is still just perfect,

0:50:17.000 --> 0:50:20.279
<v Speaker 1>to my child. And I've gifted my old MacBooks to

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:24.000
<v Speaker 1>my children, to my family members. Every one of my

0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:26.960
<v Speaker 1>family basically has an old MacBook that I've given them

0:50:27.320 --> 0:50:30.200
<v Speaker 1>that still worked just fine when I gave it to them,

0:50:30.239 --> 0:50:32.520
<v Speaker 1>even after I'd used it for about two to four years.

0:50:32.960 --> 0:50:35.719
<v Speaker 1>So these things can last a long time if you

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:40.040
<v Speaker 1>take care of them. So take care of them, all right,

0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's end on a fun, tasty story. Krispy Kreme CEO

0:50:43.760 --> 0:50:46.760
<v Speaker 1>says robots are going to start working at Krispy Kreme's

0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:50.120
<v Speaker 1>in the next eighteen months. They told this to Yahoo Finance.

0:50:50.960 --> 0:50:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Krispy Kreme, based in North Carolina, said that they are

0:50:55.640 --> 0:50:59.440
<v Speaker 1>going to use these robots to maximize the fresh hub

0:50:59.480 --> 0:51:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and spoke model opportunity in the US. And I don't

0:51:03.120 --> 0:51:06.480
<v Speaker 1>know if you've noticed, but krispy Kreme does this thing

0:51:06.520 --> 0:51:09.480
<v Speaker 1>where they have Krispy Kreme's in convenience stores, grocery stores,

0:51:09.800 --> 0:51:12.279
<v Speaker 1>quick serve restaurants all over the place. Like they don't

0:51:12.320 --> 0:51:15.279
<v Speaker 1>just have locations. You can get these things everywhere. And

0:51:15.480 --> 0:51:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the more robots that they can employ to get these

0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:21.800
<v Speaker 1>donuts made, the more access points they can.

0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Be fresh at.

0:51:23.080 --> 0:51:26.560
<v Speaker 1>And so apparently the automated lines would produce eighteen percent

0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of Krispy Kreme donuts within the next eighteen months. They

0:51:29.920 --> 0:51:32.160
<v Speaker 1>are going to spend six million dollars on robots, and

0:51:32.200 --> 0:51:36.040
<v Speaker 1>they expect to recoup two million dollars in savings annually.

0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:38.359
<v Speaker 1>So they're not going to pay for themselves right off

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:41.239
<v Speaker 1>the bat, but it will help. Now, this was news

0:51:41.280 --> 0:51:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to me in this Yahoo Finance article. I did not

0:51:44.200 --> 0:51:48.319
<v Speaker 1>know that they also own Insomnia Cookies. I did not

0:51:48.440 --> 0:51:53.280
<v Speaker 1>know that, So that's another thing. But they say they stressed,

0:51:53.320 --> 0:51:55.960
<v Speaker 1>like every good company that starts using robots, they stressed

0:51:56.000 --> 0:51:59.120
<v Speaker 1>that Krispy Kreme employees are still at the core of

0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the business and the intention here is to cut out

0:52:02.080 --> 0:52:05.000
<v Speaker 1>tedious tasks. I hear that over and over, and I

0:52:05.040 --> 0:52:07.839
<v Speaker 1>hear from you over and over. Why am I trying

0:52:07.880 --> 0:52:10.880
<v Speaker 1>to kill every job in the US with all of

0:52:10.920 --> 0:52:13.520
<v Speaker 1>these robot stories? And I'm just telling you right now,

0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I am not the person that kills the robot or

0:52:17.000 --> 0:52:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the human employees' jobs with these robot stories. I'm just

0:52:21.120 --> 0:52:23.560
<v Speaker 1>telling you so you understand where the world is going,

0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:25.719
<v Speaker 1>and I will tell you right now. When it comes

0:52:25.719 --> 0:52:30.560
<v Speaker 1>to food, we're seeing a huge growth in robot automation

0:52:31.000 --> 0:52:33.759
<v Speaker 1>in the most basic job, so just be aware of that.

0:52:34.000 --> 0:52:38.319
<v Speaker 1>It is something you need to be aware of. Oh

0:52:38.360 --> 0:52:39.880
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, that is going to do it for this

0:52:39.960 --> 0:52:43.000
<v Speaker 1>episode of the show. I can't believe it. Next time

0:52:43.000 --> 0:52:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you hear from me, I will be on the radio.

0:52:45.800 --> 0:52:48.799
<v Speaker 1>I will be talking about CES twenty twenty three, which

0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:51.600
<v Speaker 1>is happening in Las Vegas the first week of January.

0:52:51.760 --> 0:52:52.720

0:53:48.200 --> 0:53:50.640
<v Speaker 1>By the way, doing three hours of radio versus one

0:53:50.680 --> 0:53:53.440
<v Speaker 1>hour of podcast is going to be quite the challenge

0:53:53.480 --> 0:53:56.480
<v Speaker 1>for me. It's a lot, but I can't wait. I

0:53:56.480 --> 0:53:58.160
